CLIMATIC STUDY1 {
Government to Determine Salton
 Seas Influence on the Weather
Observation Stations in Imperial and CoachelIa Valleys Established by Special Commission of Experts.
 Water Has Fallen Only Two Feet.

The effect of Salton Sea upon the climate of adjacent regions has been a subject of much dis cussion and no end of theorizing. Unusual rains even so far away as New Mexico and Texas have been attributed to Imperial Val ley's accidental pond and Arizona is dead sure that her climate has changed materially since the Col orado spilled over into the desert and drowned out Durbrow's salt works. Salton Sea contains enough water to make one mod crate shower over Arizona if it were all evaporated and precipit- ated at once, but it is possible that the body of water covering an area of 400 square miles may modify the temperature of air currents and increase the humid ity sufficiently to affect general climatic conditions.
 In order to determine what eff feet Saltonss ssSea has upon the eli mate, the United States Weather Bureau is establishing observa- tion stations in Coachella and Im- perial Valleys and the first will be opened at Indio this month.
 This work is undertaken by a special commission, appointed by President Roosevelt about a year ago, composed of Prof. Frank H. Bigelow, chairman; Prof. G. K. Gilbert, of the United States Geological Survey; F. H. Newell, chief of the Reclamation Service, and one of the engineers of the Yuma Reclamation ptoject.
 The station at Indio will be in charge of Prof. Bigelow. As soon as the necessary appropria- tion is made by the government other stations are to be establish ed at Brawley, Salt Creek Trestle, Mecca, Edom and in the middle of the Salton Sea, on piles driven to support the observation tower.
 Towers will be erected, and from these elevations observa- tions will be taken as to the amount of moisture carried in the air; the relative humidity or wa DOT tension" at the various points in the two valleys; and close watch will be kept on the varia- tions and vagaries of the ovapor- ations from the SaltOn Sea.
 This large body of water is gradually receding. Agents from the Reclamation Service some time ago placed on section of the piling of the Salt Creek Trestle a river gauge. and this shows that between May 1 and October 1, the water had fallen 2. 1 feet.
 All of the instruments for use at the various stations to be es- tablished in the Coachella and

RING WORM AND DANDRUFF.
They Are Each Caused by Pestfer-
Gus Germ.


Ring worm and dandruff are some
what similar in their origin; each is
caused by a parasite. The germ that
causes dandruff digs 10 the root of the
hair. and saps it vitality, causing fall
ing hair. and, finally badness. With
out dandruff there would never be bald
ness, and TO cure dandruff it is neces-
sary TO kill the germ. There has been
no hair preparation that would do this
until the discovery of Newbro's Herpi-
eide. which positively kills the dan
druff germ, allays itching instantly and
makes hair glossy and soft as silk.
