Kappa Delta Pi Has Initiation Banquet SIX INITIATES ADMITTED Miss Williams Is Hostess To Group; Misses Durland and Schmidt Give Reports LETTER FROM WASHINGTON, D. C. BY JOE MARSHALL The people of Massachusetts will be happy again, because the bill passed congress to bring Old Ironsides back to her home in Charlestown, Massa-chusetts, after her trip to the Pacific. Rep. Kleberg of Texas has a 30-mile driveway to his home. He owns a county which has but one road and that leads to his home. The fishing licenses in Maryland are $15.00 so that sport is now out of reach of most people. The C. W. A. here is a criteria that better times are returning to the east, as private industry is using most of the relief workers now. The Senate and Administration are beginning to lock horns on a number of issues lately. According to Emily Post the proper way to address an envelope to Presi-dent Roosevelt is: To The President The White House The President's grandson, "Bussie" Dahl, has a case of measles, which are now an epidemic here. Checking over the comparative ages of representatives and senators one finds the average is higher for representatives. As the object of Lindberg's Spirit of St. Louis is the first thing that draws your attention in the Smithonian Institute, so the word TOLERANCE hits you between the eyes on entering the Congressional Library. It is in large gold block letters. The reading of Schopenhauer's "Studies In Pessimism" gives one a new slant on this abstract word.

G.

In their charts, Prof. and Mrs. Hutter have registered the rainfall and snow fall and the average temperature of each month for each of tthhee years during that period of According to Prof. Hutter, most of the rain comes in April, May and June, and its source is from the Gulf of Mexico. Most of our rainfall comes in the form of the thunder shower type when the vapor in the air con-denses and falls, reviving "good old mother earth". In the last 22 years the most rain that we received in any one month came in June, 1925, when the clouds opened and sent 11 inches of rainfall on these Dakota plains. That was over 1-3 of the moisture recevied that year. The rainiest year for Aberdeen was 1915 when 38.1 inches fell. In 1933 the prairies suffered severely when we received only 12.6 inches of rain. The average rainfall from 1911 through 1933 is 23.54 inches. During the winter of 1916-17 there were 71 1/2 inches of snow while in 1920-21 there were only 17% inches.
