these ice storms will grow commoner year by
year.
Professor Brooks has devoted his best scien-
tifc knowledge to the study of these ice
storms. One of them occurred in the night of
February 1917. Until it broke the wind was
from the SOUTH and the thermometer eight
points above freezing. By sunset a fog had
filled the entire Back Bay and basin of Boston.
Three hours later, as the fog spread it's ten
tacles in various directions, the drops began
to fall. They looked like rain drops but they
painted an icy coating upon everything
Another similar storm occurred in the morn
ing of February 81. 1t lasted twenty-four
hours, and the ice attained thickness of one
inch everywhere. A third storm of the same
nature some time later extended from Texas
TO Michigan and Maine.
Ice storms are to be dreaded because of the
havoc they cause to telegraph and telephone
lines as well as to railroads and other sys

SNOWBALLS for Your HEADACHE or SORE THROAT

Perhaps one OF the best uses to which snow is
put is that of saving noses, ears and other ex-
posed parts of the body from frost bite. Peary,
Scott Amundsen, Steffanson and other explor-
ers have all proited by this use of snow.
When the privatons and fatigue of polar ex-
porers lower their vitality bit, the icy blasts
nip their toes fingers, noses and ear tips. If
something is not quickly done. gangrene of the
flesh may result, and the parts affected may
actually fall off.
To prevent this extreme degree of frostbite.
ii is unwise to suddenly heat up the exposed
parts by the application of snow with little
friction the affected parts may be saved.
StiH necks are very common ailment in the
Winter One of the best methods of treating
them is to fill a rubber napkin, rubber bottle
even fiat glass bottle with welpacked snow
and place this alongside the sore, stiff area.

Why birds that were formerly insectivorous should

theory is that lack of food caused the birds

Ice storms have been growing more and

of them occurred in Boston and vicinity.
