Planets and Weather.

Being asked by a correspondent
as to whether the positions of the
planets have any effect on the
weather the director of the L. S.
Weather Bureau at Washington
says, a few people strongly assert
that they do, while many others,
like our correspondent, have their
doubts, but are willing to be shown,
Those however, who have given the
subject careful attention are positive
that none Of the planets, nor even
the moon, ever has any appreciable
effect on the weather,
AS a matter of fact all weather
changes depend ultimately upon
temperature differences, The tenn
pcrature, as we know, constitutes of
itself a most important weather
factor Another and equally inn
portant weather factor is rainfall,
But 70 obtain rain it is necessary
first to eyaporate water from the
surface Of the earth, and this, as
everyone knows, requires heat
Still another important weather
factor is the direction and iorce of
the wind, and this too, requires heat,
for the winds will not blow unless
the temperature is different at one
place from what il is at another any
more than the air will draw up a
chimney when there is no fire in It,,
Since then the heating Of different
parts of the earth and It's atmos.
pherc TO different temperatures is
the real cause of the winds and of
all weather changes it follows that
the moon and the planets can affect
the weather only so far as they
supply heat,
Now, according to accurate
made with the most
delicate instruments, the amount Of
heat sent 60 the earth by all the
planets and also by the moon is
insignificant in comparison 20 the
amount that comes from the sun,
Hence we could not expect either
the planets or the moon appreeiably
60 affect the weather They do not
supply enough heat, the one thing
that causes all our weather changes.
To most people the above reason
ing may seem quite sufficient and
conclusive, but there is still another
and nn entirely different hethod of
testing the whole question, We can
observe the positions Of the planets
and the kind Of weather during each
position and see whether the same
sort of weather always comes when
the planets are IN the same position,
This kind Of examination has often
been made, both for the planets and
for the moon but not the slightest
influence Of either upon our weather
has ever been found,
To sum up' We have every reason
TO believe that neither the planets
nor the moon can have any upprcei'
able effect on the weather because
they furnish so little heat upon
which all weather changes depend,
and this beliefs fully supported by
weather records,
The belief still to be found in all
countries, that the planets and the
moon do affect the weather never
had any scientific basis whatever it
Is only a remnant Of the many super
stitlons generated aud fostcred' by
that other and greater superstition

for its meaning S seif-evident and
the thought could not be expressed as
rapidly or as easily by any other COM
bination of words.
Make good" win out" "up
against it" "on the job" may be con-
sidered unobjectionable slang, and
these expressions are used by the
best speakers and writers whenever
the introduction of them tends to-
ward clearness, directness, and brew
ity; but none of these speakers use
the oregoing expressions, or others
like them, for the sake of being
slangy. They avoid even these when
they think they can make themselves
as clear withou. them.
Slang, then, has Its place, but it
should not be allowed to occupy
more than its place.
When in doubt, don't use slang.
If you must lean too far one way,
let it be away from the slangy way.
In connection with slang, may /
not say a word against the, use of
technical or trade expressions by
those who know nothing about them.
/ have no respect for the landlubber
who revels in sea slang, and who
says "starboard" for fright" and
port" for left" when he does not
know the difference between an auto
mobile and a motorboat; and who
calls Ship ahoy" when he means
"halloo."
The best rule to follow, and, in
fact, the enly rule worth remember
ing, IS to let your words be plain and
to the point, exp sing your thought
clearly, even though you may have
to use words and expressions which
are offensive to those who shiver in
the garments of superintendent.

T HERE are three classes OF talk
ers; the ultra or super-re-
= fined, who filter their words
through silken meshes, and who pale
at any expression not cultivated by
the culturist; tn, unrehned- those
who seem to feel that ordinary words
are but alternate links in the chain
of slang; and the common-sense peoi
pie, who make themselves plain first
and refined afterward, practitioners
of simplicity, who do not condemn
any word-medium which will convey
their meaning, whether it be OF Spen-
cerian purity or tainted with slangy
emphasis.
Language is simply medium OF
thought expression, and the simpler
and palmer it is, the better. 1t
should convey the idea or the mean
ing, and nothing else. If it is used
for a display of useless learning, it
advertises the educated folly of its
speaker. If, on the other hand. it is
intended as a medium for the dis
tribution of vulgarity, or for any
thing else which tends to degrade, it
also represents its source.
The road of sense and of efficiency
is between the two extremes, and it
is used by those who are not de-
voices of ultra-rehnement or of in
excusable slang. They express them
selves in the plainest, simplest and
most forceful language, and use the
words which mean the most, even
though some of them may not ap-
pear in the dictionary of culture.
They do no. parade or over-use
slang They do not, however, ex-
clude from their vocabulary express,
sions which, even though slangy, by
their directness and clearness better
express the idea than would words
which, academically speaking, are

IMPORTANCE OF ROAD
MAIN N A N c E AND
REPAIR
/. /. !: {: :: ;: Il :: {. :: :: ;: {: ;: :: 3

Washington, July 27.-There is no
phase OF the road problem more i'm
pOrtant than that of maintenance.
The general impression that there
are certain types of roads that are
permanent is erroneous. No perma-
nent road has ever been constructed
or ever will be, according to the road
specialists of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture. The only things about a
road that may be considered perma-
nent are the grading, culverts and
bridges. Roads constructed by the
most skillful highway engineers will
soon be destroyed by the traffic, frost,
rain and wind, unless they are prop
erly maintained. But the life Of these
roads may be prolonged by system
attic maintenance. A poor road will
not only be improved by proper main
tenance but may become better in
time than a good road without it.
The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
surface well drained To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and
smooth crown maintained Except for
very stony soil the road machine or
scraper may be used very effectively
for this work. The machine should
be used once or twice a year and
the work should be done when the
soil is damp so that it will pack and
bake into a hard crust. Wide and
shallow side bitches should be main
tanned with sufficient fall and capac-
ity to dispose of surface water These
bitches can in most places be con
structed and repaired with a road ma
chine
All vegetable matter, such as sods
and weeds, should be kept out of
the road, as they make a spongy sur
face which retains dust or mud, and
for that reason roads should never be
worked when dry or hard. Boulders or
loose stones are equally Objectionable
if smooth surface is to be secured.
A split-log drag or some similar de-
vice is very useful in maintaining the
surface after suitable bitches and
cross sections have once been secur
ed. This drag can also be used TO
on a gravel road as well
as On an earth road. The principe
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-07-27

inNCh ed is that clays and most heavy
soils will puddle when wet and set
very hard when dry. The little atten-
ton that the earth road needs must
0e given promptly and at the proper
time il the best results are to be OBJ
tanned.
In dragging roads only a small
amount of earth is moved, just enough
to fill the ruts and depressions when
thin layer of plastic clay or earth
which packs very hard, so that the
next rain instead of finding ruts, de-
pressions and clods in which to col
lect runs off, leaving the surface but
little affected.
The drag should be light and should
be drawn over the road at an angle
of about 45 degrees. The driver
should ride on the drag and should
not drive faster than a walk. One
round trip, each trip straddling a
wheel track, is usually sufficient to
fill the ruts and smooth the surface.
If necessary the road should be
dragged after every bad spell of
weather, when the soil is in proper
condition to puddle well and still not
adhere to the drag. If the road is
very bad it may be dragged when
very wet, and again when it begins to
dry out. A few trips over the road
will give the operator an idea as to
the best time to drag. Drag at all
seasons, but do not drag dry road.
The slope or crown of an earth road
should be about one inch to the foot.
If the crown becomes too high it may
be reduced by dragging toward the
ditch instead of from it. If the drag
cuts too much, shorten the hitch and
change your position on the drag. lf
1t is necessary to protect the face
of the drag with strip of iron, it
should be placed flush with the edge
of the drag and not projecting. A
cutting edge should be avoided, as
the main object in dragging is to
smear the damp soil into position.

Love is understanding. You cannot

he never discovers the real. So the
truth about God has ever remained
in the hearts of the simple, who

1t changes coarse desire and makes
it sacramental. 1t comes to the greedy
