in advance what the weather gods ,intended to send to earth by way of wind, heat, cold, snow, rain. or sleet and hail.

Every year the prophet made his "probs" and many set great store by them. Mr. Stone's mathema- tical formula of weather forecast- ing was the "product oi a perfected plan" built up on the teachings oi "my old friend, and teacher, An- drew Hopkins of Foster", the pro- phet once said. From what Mr. Hopkins told him,.1\fr. Stone de- veloped his own system, which, he used to explain. was based on the weather conditions oi the twelve days following Christmas, each day governing a, month 0i the succeed- ing year.

Thus the weather of Dec. 26th held "signs" which accurately fore- cast the weather oi January. The weather of Dec. d7 would indicate “something" of the weather of Feb ruary and so on.

Mr. Stone learned his "weather work" in luster, where he was born, and after some . years he came in Providence. Wherever he went he became known as the "weather prophet". But he was active in other fields too, as he was 11 lay preacher in the country districts oi Rhoda Island. and he was an active tempgrnnco worker. who frequently appeared on the lecture platform. 1"

U. S. Lines Up With League

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 1'1- For the first time in history, the United States Govt. was recei- vins reports last night from a re- presentative sitting with the Coun- cil oi the League of Nations.

Amid a ripple of excitement and conjecture in the capital as to the ultimate result, the United States definitely allied itself with the Rowe's efforts to dispel the threat of war between china and Japan. g

The step was taken despite Ja- panese objections. The formal invitation was received in Wash- ington after the Council had voted l3 in 1, Japan casting the one op- posing vote, to admit the United States. The invitation pointed to the Kellogg-Briand anti-war pact, as an instrument for dispersing the storm clouds overhanging Man- churia.

Although it cast a wholehearted lot with the League's possible‘ at- tempt ioinvoke the Kellogg pact, the United States government re- mained aloof from any obligations under the league's covenant.

Secretary of State, Henry L. Stimson said action by the League in invoking the anti-war treaty would establish very important precedents. At the same time he denied that such an action would mark the welding of the treaty and the League's machinery for maintaining peace.

Summing Up Capone’s Sins

CHICAGO, Oct. 17—At the Fed- eral Building here yesterday, Al. Capone, merciless gangster and un- derworld - power, and Al. Capone. spirit of open-handed generosity and friend who never failed, weru ‘the contrastng pictures etched in ,oratory by attorneys for the gov- Qemment and defense in final pleas lat the gangsters income tax trial yesterday.

And through it all, Capone sat with sullen visage, his usual smile missing, moving from his slumped

cuments to his lawyers. and reply- ing with non-committal grunts to reporters questions.

The case against the big, scar- faced gangster, was completed yes- terday, except for two hours re- maining of the government's final plea, andlJudge James H. Wilker- son's instructions to the jury. At- torneys on both sides said the 12 middle aged farmers, merchants and t1 ‘esmen on the jury probab- ly will begin deliberations on the gangsters fate by tomorrow noon-

On the Jurors minds the govem- ment has sought to impress with a mass of testimony. the belief that Capone had g, princely income. and spent dollars by the thousands without care, and kept his pockets well stocked with $100 and $500 bills.

Defense Attorney Fink explained to the jurors that they may find him guilty on one or more oi the 24 counts in the two indictments. but not necessarily on all of the counts.

Making traps of ail sizs, from one large enough to catch a lion to that for tiny mice, is becoming a leading industry in Wednesfleld, England.
