NO EQUINOCTIAL,
SAY WEATHER SHARPS

From time immemorial /. has been
customary to speak of the bad spell
Of weather which usually comes to-
ward the last of September and March
as the "eQuinoctial storms These
disturbances are attributed somewhat
vaguely to the passing of the sun over
the equator on the semi-annual shift
ing of the earth i'm its orbit. But
meteorologists scoif now and chal-
lenge the unscientific to produce
proof
There is no such think as an
equinoctial storm is the calm but
final assertion of the United States
Weather Bureau, and all OF its en-
ployes stand back of this assertion.
After stating that the stormy sea-
son of the year over the North At
lantic begins with August and con-
tinues with increasing sincerity until
March or April the International
Encyclopedia says that there is no
special day or period more likely to
be stormy than any other. But il
makes concession to the popular
belief by admitting that unusually
heavy storms came on September 20,
1876: October 20, 1870; September %.
1915; October 2, 1871: October z,
1S49, and September s, 1869.
Yet even this assertion is somewhat
bewildering to the laity, for the en-
cyclopedia intimates that the rainy
season in this part OF America con-
tinues for about eight months, wind
ing mp in March or April. That steps
relentlessly upon another cherished
tradition. for that long. rainy season
in May is as firmly believed in as is
the efficacy OF planting potatoes ON
st. Patrick's Day.

SUGGEST GLASS CANOPY
FOR THE BOARDWALK

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Sept e.
A plan to cover 40 feet Of the width
OF the Boardwalk with a glass and
steel framed canopy, so that visitors
need not be confined to their hotels
in wet weather was proposed at a
meeting Of the City Business League
by Albert T. Bell, of the Chalfonte.
Mr.. Bell suggested that the bust
ness men first widen the Boardwalk
from 60 feet through the hotel and
amusement district and then cover 40
feet of the structure ON the inner side,
so that travel need never be inter-
rupted by rain or snow. He suggest
ed that the steel and glass canopy
be erected on line with the second
story building level and have curtains
to cut off the glare of the sun in mid
summer. adopt something of this
kind" said he, land boardwalk bust
ness, which Is now suspended entirely
every time It rains, would not be
dependent upon the vagaries OF the
weather"
The league discussed the proposals
informally, but took no action. The
increased revenue, It was contended,
would soon pay the entire cost of the
transformation OF the promenade.
