AIR TESTS Demonstrate
SOME UNKNOWN FACTS

Los ANGELES, Aug. ia mys-
teriOus isOthermal line Delts the air
eight miles above the earth and the
ar becomes slightly warmer there and
maintains level temperature there
after.
Storms seem to occur only in zones
extending from earth's surface to a
height of eight miles Above this, the
air is usually calm.
Air grows cold steadily as greater
heights are reached until the line of
mystery is reached
Above this line, the air currents Of
Southern California trend generally
from the southwest toward the north
east Below the eight-mile line varia-
tions occur.
Southern California has one OF the
most stable, dependable climates in
America.
Kecnly enthusiastic over an un-
equaled record Of twenty-three sue
cessful balloon soundings from Catalina
island, wherein much valuable data
was obtained for Uncle Sam and where
in the average height attained was flf-
teen miles and several pairs Of spheres
carried scientific instruments over six
teen miles, B. ]. Sherry, observer in
charge, completed his work yesterday
and came to Los Angeles
At The local United States weather
bureau office yesterday Mr.. Sherry re-
fCrred to the sO-called storm zone
grdling the earth at an average height
Of eight miles and varying from six
to ten miles.
"The present soundings support the
belief that storms occur near the earth
end rarely above a height Of eight
miles," he said. about this height
the air seems to be comparatively calm.
As instruments rise above the earth IN
balloons, they record cooler tempera-
lures steadily until they reach this
elevation approximately. Then instead
of continuing to report cooler air, as
IS the theory, they tell us on their re-
turn to earth that they noted a slightly
warmer strata Of atmosphere and

WILL ASK LOWER FREIGHT
ON COTTON TO THE COAST

}. J. ChappeH, who is widely known
IN the valley as cotton buyer for the
Oakland Mills, arrived in town this
morning, prepared to circulate petitions
asking the state railroad commission to
grant lower freight rates from the
valley to coast points. The petitions
recite that the present rate of 65 cents
rer 100 pounds is out Of proportion ID
the charge Of 95 cents from Mexican
gulf points to the coast, and ask that
lower rate be ordered.
1t is Mr.. Chappell's desire that all
farmers interested in cotton growing
sgn the petition promptly, as it is de-
sired to get a reduction Of rate in time
to apply on the crop now maturing.
The petitions have been left at the
Fl Centre National and First National
banks and Dunaway's and Davis drug
stores.

WHO HAS SEEN DATE CITY"
WANDERING ABOUT VALLEY

Has anybody noticed a strange city
site on which to locate itself? The
Press is in receipt Of the following
article from Los Angeles, and is free
TO confess that it knows nothing fur
ther Of the project, though it may be
that -this-is an important development.
FH diagram should have accompanied
the article, which says:
in the center Of 10000 acres ot
the richest and most productive lands
III the great Imperial valley and on the
main line Of the Southern Pacific rail-
road through the valley, the new town
C Date City is now being surveyed and
will soon be formally opened.
"Possessing unsurpassable advan
tages of location, backed by enormous
capital. and surrounded by a great
trade empire-thOse who are close to
Imperial valley conditions see for Date
City a brilliant future. In fact it is
freely predicted by close observers
that Date City will within few years

"Keen observers for years have rec

backing Date City and making it an es-
tablished reality.
With the big capital of this concern
back Of it, Date City is being laid out
along broad and comprehensive lines
and will be thoroughly modern from
The beginning. Six iOO-foot streets
will run through the town and every
feature will be a model of attractive
ness and practical utility. The sur
yeying is being done by the firm Of
Adams & Shears Of Los Angeles. The
company will shortly begin active con-
structiOn of a modern brick hotel and
attractive business blocks to meet the
demands of the new town.
in striking contrast to the many
towns which spring up in new cOun-
tries, and which are handicapped for
years by lack of capital to properly
develop their resources, the future of
Date City is especially promising. Date
City is fortunate in being backed by a
company with the financial strength,
and the faith in its future, to spend
large capital to start the town on the
right basis.
with natural advantages Of loca-
ton, with broad and productive trade
empire to draw from, with ample
water, and with plenty Of capital to
make it both progressive and aggressive
from the beginning, Date City will un-
dOubtedly make rapid growth"
