University Professor Refutes Popular Theory That Seasons Are Changing
Year
1921 IS ABNORMAL YEAR
The seasons are not changing, says Prof. C, J. Posey, head of the University Meteorological Station. There is however a tendency for the weather to move in cycles of eleven and thirty-five years. There are also approximately 5.5 day cycles during which there is a tendency for weather conditions to repeat. The amount of rainfall and the temperature may both move in cycles, but they need not necessarily correspond.
Warm Weather And Lack o Rain Characterize This
The outstanding feature of the weather for 1921 was the high average temperature for the year, it being the highest during the fifty-four years recorded by this station. The number of days of ninety degrees or above, the rainfall for the year, and the number of days between severe frosts were each above their previous mean, the rainfall, the number of rainy days, the number of snowstorms, and the total run of winds were each below their norms.
The average annual temperature of 57.70° is d2.2 degrees above the normal, being the highest record for the year recorded on July 27 and August 23 is 1.72 degrees below the normal maximum, and the minimum two-thirds fourth is 15.18 degree above the normal minimum.
The rainfall for the year, including melted snow, was 43.58 inches which is 6.97 inches above the normal. During November there was no measureable rainfall and the precipitation of the last three months of the year was considerably below the average. The hardest rainfall of the year occurred on the morning of August sixth, when between four and five o'clock of water fall, which is at the rate of an inch every twenty-three minutes.
But 7.4 inches of snow fell during the year, this being 12.94 inches below normal.
The greatest run of wind for a single day was 1017 miles April twenty-third and twenty-fourth an hourly velocity of forty-two miles. The highest velocity attained for a single day was 1530 P. M. to 8:30 P. M. of February fifthteen.

Gibben's Condition no Better
BOBBED HAIR GOING OUT, THINKS BARBER
Girls are Letting it Grov Again
—Unshorn Won't Take Plunge
THEY LIKE BARBER SHOPS
But the Barber Won't Bob a Married Woman; Says He's Afraid To
"Few girls with bobbled hair come into our shop anymore," said a downstairs barber this morning, "and those having their hair still uncut scarcely ever come. The girls are letting it grow, and that perhaps haven't yet had it cut aren't going to take the plunge. I don't know why it is—some of them say that it's too much trouble to keep it cut." The barber says, "I should say," the barber said, "that it all depends on the hair—and the girl."
Girls have overcome their first bashful fitness at doing business in a place generally conceded to be man's domain, the barber said. They take the form of a woman, many of them come in as casually as a man does. More, however, bring from one to half a dozen friends, and make a celebration out of the affair. A tired if the girls as a rule were barber replied, than the men, the barber replied.
"There isn't much difference. After a girl has had her cut the first time and has decided how she wants it, she can't have it covered except with the naturally fusca ones. The biggest difficulty lies in the fact that a girl doesnt know how long the distance "just to the tip of my ear" is, so I don't think it's likely to be hard to please as the girls.
"Some boys are as nervous and fussy as old males, while others are as downright slay as any girl. Some times we feel like removing a few of them to the middle of the street," he said.
Girls do not talk much in a barber shop, the barber declared, unless to another. A boy, if he feels like it will keep up on a running conversation with the barber or anyone else in the shop.
"It's all right for girls to bob their hair," the harber remarked. "But You always refused to cut the hair of any woman that I knew was married and was doing it just for the fun. When they have nice hair, they ought to keep it. Besides, he added "their husbands are likely to come down and jump all over me when they find out what has happened."

She Strode Swiftly While Males Stared
Yesterday afternoon.
She was fighting her way across the Campus with long, swinging strides. The wild north wind and whirls of heavy wet snow did not impede her joys l-buying, graceful paw gestures with Leah. With she hopped over a growing snow-drift near the steps of Green Hall. She passed small groups of her struggling sisters with a gag "Hallo, you slow-pokes," and leaped up the broad entrance to Snow Hall three steps at a time, t3 find herself five minutes early for class.
She was exhelerated. With an absolutely酷生 gesture of perfect abandon, she trudge through this classroom door—and then stopped short in embarrassment. The fifteen males within had risen as with one accord and looked dwn upon her with zanine mouths and nontong eves.
She minced self-consciously over to her seat, and crossing her legs caecaud and looked down upon her with skirt. But, alas, it was not there.
She was clad in knickerbockers!
