GOLDEN JUBILEE SERVICE
AT GEORGETOWN CONVENT
Cardinal Gibbons Crowns Mothel
Superior Mary Mullen Before
Large Gathering.

The golden jubilee of Mother Mary
Benedictina Mullen, mother superior
of the Georgetown Convent of the Wis
itation, was celebrated today at the
convent in Georgetown.
In the presence of a large gathering
of sisters of the convent, students
alumni and clergy, Cardinal Gibbons
crowned Mother Mullen. The corona
tion exercises were held at 1890 o'clock
in the convent chapel. Following the
coronation Rev. Benedict Guldner, s. j.,
preached a sermon and pontifical mass
was celebrated by Rt. Rev. owen B.
Corrigan. a reception followed the
mass.
In connection with the celebration
there was a business meeting of the
Alumnae Association, which was fol-
lowed by luncheon. Pupils of the Acad
envy gave an entertainment this after
noon for the visitors and Miss Ella
Lorraine Dorsey made an address. An
informal reception is also to be held
and the guests are to be given the
freedom of the grounds
The papal blessing Is to be conferred

while many bushels of grain were
snatched from barns and sown extrava-
gantly over many acres.
These instances show that while the
Mississippi valley is supposed to be the
home of tornadoes. they occur In the
east Atlantic states also. AS mat
ter OF fact, they occur occasionally as
far north as New England. Here they
became the subject of a poem by Oliver
Wendell Holmes. in which he describes
the erratic flight OF shirts and petit
coats from the clothes1ine in the back
yard. and. most lamentable of all. his
Sunday breeches. They also show that
the tornado does not always conf1ne its
attack to the period from April to Sep
tember. but may appear as early az
February.
The tornado still is a little explored
phenomenon. Few people are inclined
to sit down and make deliberate ana
elaborate notes on the progress or pc.
culiarities of the funnel-shape cloud
while listening to the loud ominous
rumble of its approach. Instruments
for testing the barometric pressure oc-
casioned by it have at once been SHAT
tered. The most accurate details on
record have been supplied by terrified
spectators who have been able to jot
down their memoirs of confused i'm
pressions.

Secretary Baker said today that he

Army officers explained that as mine

TORNADOES.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The tornado season is well under
way The Mississippi valley Is just re-
gaining its equilibrium after siege
of storms that took heavy toll OF life
and property. The dazed people are
now engaged in adjusting insurance
claims and rebuilding their dwellings,
Yet the next week may bring another
destroying gale.
Although the tornado is a familiar
occurrence in the Mississippi valley
and the southern states throughout
the period from April to September,
so swift and dynamic is its approach
that it always finds many unprepared.
1t is the one kind of atmospheric dis
turbance that is impossible to predict.
The government weather bureau may
warn the people that heavy storms
are headed in their direction. but the
tornado is SO largely matter of local
occurrence that the specific indications
are usually apparent only a few min
utes before it happens. Thunderstorms
country, but the tornado accompani-
ment is only occasional 1t is therefore
unreasonable to suppose that at the
people are going to leave their vari-
Gus occupations and seek seclusion in
caves. dugouts or cellars. Yet this
would seem to present the only abso-
lutte means of safety.

GET VIEWS OF RESIDENTS

Should Ds Extended.

The District Commissioner endeav-
ored to ascertain through . public
hearing today whether the proposed

nth to Mount Pleasant streets. 10 the
moro preferable to a majority Of the
residents OF that section. Divided views
were expressed which left the District
heads somewhat in a Quandary as to
the wishes Of property owners regard
ing the matter.
In their estimates they already have
street Improvement. the estimated cost
of which fs $1,000. In view Of represen-
tations from taxpayers. however. that
the Kenyon street opening is more de-
sirable, the Commissioners reopened the
question today.
Believes Neither Is Essential.
Suggestion was made at the hearing by
jeremiah Connolly that the opening OF
neither street is essential at this time
and that the area between Kenyon, Irv.
ing. Mount Pleasant and 18th streets b<
converted into a playground.
Regarding the merits Of the two ex-
tension propositions. Mr.. Connolly lined
up in favor of the 17th street proposal
as did w. T. Fitzgerald and Alexander
NJ. German. jeremiah c. Dowell. B. H
Warner, jr., and A. B. Coolidge spoke
against the Kenyon street plan, while
I. B. Linton urged that Kenyon street
be improved. He said that Q majority
Of the property owners between Adaml
Mill road and Mount Pleasant street
are In favor Of the Improvement OF
this street. The Kenyon street project
also was Endorsed by Elisha Hanson.
The Commissioners took the matter
under advisement.

on Warm, Sultry Days. the after.
noon, usually. great quantities of this
moist. hot air have risen and formed
dense clouds. But as this air rises the
gravity of the earth is pulling masses
of cool air from the strata above the
storm clouds to it's surface. This ris-
ing and descending of air causes an
energetic eddy of air currents, form
ing a whilrwind or a tornado. In the
case of the whirlwind the rotating mo-
ton is usually horizontal. while in the
case Of the tornado it is vertical, taking
the form of a funnel-shaped cloud.

Churches Struck;
Saloons Escaping

newspaper that
Churches Struck all the churches
Saloons Escaping. an and al the
saloons left untouched. The saloon
keepers were disposed to attach a
prophetic Significance to this mysteri-
Gus distinction. but a scientific explana-
tion also was published. Besides it's
wind velocity. the tornado has an ex
plosive action, due to the sudden de-
crease in barometric pressure. Four
teen or fifteen pounds per square inch
is the average barometric pressure.
Now. when this pressure is suddenly
reduced one-half, seven pounds per
square inch is added to the interior of
buildings containing air for which
there is no rapid means of outlet. Thus
the windows of churches and other un-
ventilated places are pried outward by
the power of the heavier air within.
The tornado, which, by the way, is a
Spanish word meaning "whirl." is pc
culiar to the United States. being prac-
tically unknown elsewhere except In
modified form in a few places where
there are frequent and violent thun
derstorms. The theory has been ad-
vanced that tornadoes occur oftener OF
late years than they did in the past
but this is unlikely. the only difference
being that now they are reported and
then they were not Some wears. OF
