WINTER WEATHER.
Predictions of Prof Geo. II. Swiss, of
Columbus for the Winter OF ISS2-3.

Prof George H. Swiss, OF Columbus, makes
the following weather predictions fer the
winter of 1929, based on the direction Of
the September storms, and predicted on the
first of the present month: The winter
will be one OF average temperature for this
latitude, ranging between that of last and
the previous winter. October will be mild
until about the Goth. The first heavy frost
in Ohio will probably occur between the
Goth and 30th Of this month, followed by
delightful Indian summer in the early
part of November. From the 18th
to the 25th rain storm, followed
by a cold wave, with again mild,
but not unseasonably mild weather, as in
December. By the Goth OF December the
weather will be fairly in, with cold dips in
regular succession, giving us the ice har-
vest in January, and no heavy snow storm
till February. The first half of March will
give us the rough weather of the winter.
About the 25th spring will open and give
us more advanced spring than that of last
year. The extreme severity of storms will
not be felt in Ohio. Western New York
and New England will show their greatest
relative intensity. Washington City and
the Southern Atlantic coast will expert
ence milder winter on the average than
last winter. 1t will be a favorable season
for the winter resorts Of Florida.

1t seems from all that can be learned
that the wholesale bouncing OF conductors
on the B. & o. road was not without cause.
General Manager Durham has been after
them ever since he took charge Of the road
and by a system OF detective espionage I'M
known TO the conductor, succeeded in dis
covering some bad conduct on the part of
the conductors. For instance, q ticket
from Columbus to Newark was discovered
to have been sold four times, the conductor
each time neglecting to punch it on taking
it up. 1t was then disposed Of TO scalper,
who resold it to a passenger, and it was
again used. Another conductor, It is as
serted, in one week "held out" seventy
two per cent. of the money he had received
for fares. 1t is said the road would have
been satisfied with an even divide, but the
additional twenty-five per cent. captured
by the conductor was the straw that broke
the camsrs back. Other acts equally as
fragrant were discovered. which fnally de-
termined the company on informing the
conductors that other men would I'LL their
places.
