Washington. D. g., March s.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts Of disturbance to
cross continent 3 to 7, warm wave Z to
o. cool wave to 0. This will cause
recovery from the cold wave and start
the move toward higher temperatures
that will reach the top not far from 10.
During this great rise in temperatures.
from March 3 to II. precipitation will
be generally deficient. Temperature
changes for March will he much the
same on all parts of The continent
The next disturbance will reach the
Pacific coast about 7. cross Pacific slope
by close of 3, great central valleys o to
II, eastern sections IL Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about 7. great central
valleys g eastern sections II. Cool wave
will cross Pacific slope about 10. great
central valleys Il, eastern sections ID
This disturbance will be Of greater
force than usual and will develop its
greatest intensity about March II. while
i'll eastern sections About that time the
storms all around the earth win develop
great intensity Careless readers might
misconstrue that statement It applies
only to localities where the eastward
drifting storm centers may be onI
March IL.
The fourth disturbance of March will
reach Pacific slope about 13, cross Pal
eifc slope by close of "a, great central
valleys IS to ~, eastern sections tS
Warm wave viii cross Pacific slope
about 49, great central valleys IS, east
ern sections II. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about t6. great central val-I
leys, eastern sections 20.
This disturbance will be most severe
on the Pacific slope about March IL and
10, while the preceding disturbance Isl
at its greatest intensity on eastern sec
tions of the continent Il will carry the
apex Of March temperatures and colder
weather and greater precipitation will
come in as VIC approach last part of
March.
March rainfall will be most deficient
over section within 400 miles of Pen
ial ILL.,, with a gradual increase outside
of that section.
About March 10 the opposition of
Marstl1e earth passing between Mars
and the stn--wilt cause a sudden in
crease in the speed and intensity of all
storm eepters wherever they may be all
around the earth and an electric storm
will occur at that time But | have not
yet determined the location of the cleo
tric storm.
In Fosters weather map the first
north and south broken line-drawnl
near the crest of the Roekies-separate
the Pacific slope from the central val
1eys The second north and south brok-
en- line is meridian 90 The third north |
and south broken line separates great
central valleys from eastern sections

Astronomers have concluded that our
earth will pass through the tail Of Hal
ley's comet May 10 and that the comet
will be at its brightest a few days later.
We can only guess as to whether the
comet will affect Our weather, but | am
Of the opinion its gases will be detri-
mental to health. These comet gases,
however, can not come down through /
our atmosphere Immediately.
