THE VERY LATEST
t
Court Reform
On<' of the most important pro-
blems confronting Texas is reform
of the judiciary, from the justice
court to the supreme court. Gov.
Moody is interested and no doubt
before the session is far along will
submit the matter, as he has inti-
mated he will do. The idea that
many legislators have about court re-
form is only to create more courts
or have more judges to handle the 1 vantage
business of the courts. If Texas gleet to

to sixteen miles in width and is some
sixty miles long. It is a great
chasm in the level prtirie of that
section and is not visible until 'ts
very banks are approached. Its en-
tire length furnishes surprises at
every turn, scenic views of magni
ficerit grandeur and picturesqueness.
By all means it should belong to th>-
State and be opened it- full length
to the people who would like to visit
it. Texas has reached the stage 'n
its development where it can afford
to utilize its beauties to best ad-
and it should no longer ne-
acquire and improve it; best

Planets and Precipitation
In my weekly bulletin dated April
< , 1921), appeared the following:
"April is expected to average belo>v
normal precipitation for the conti-
nent but, as month advances, area of
heaviest precipitation ic ir Atlantic
coast is expected to move northward."
Ontario and north Atlantic coast
sections now realize the accuracy of
this forecast. My weekly bulletin
dated March 19, 1927 stated that level
of Great Lakes would be expected to
rise until 19.'I0, as forecasted by ex-
pectancy curve drawn by engineers
of the Chicago sanitary district.
High and rising lake levels are now
destroying much property along lake
Michigan's shores and officials of
the Chicago sanitary district ire
using this condition as evidence that
they are not using a damaging amount
of lake Michigan water. During latt-r
part of 1930, 1 will expect the peak
of Great I^ake levels to be passed
and that levels of Great l^ikes will
be lowered during the five years fol-
lowing, gradually; by 1935, if levels
of Great Lakes have not been low-
ered to a damaging point, then it will
be evident that Chicago sanitary dis-
trict is not using too much of Ihkc
Michigan water. Years 1935 and 1936
will be expected to bring the lowest
levels that Great I-akes have exper-
ienced during twenty years past;
also lowest river levels from Greit
Lakes to Gulf. The principal influ-
ence that will cause the above levels 1
of large lakes and waterways will be
the relative positions and movements
of Jupiter and Saturn and Earth to
heliocentric relations.
