weather bureau at Washington has
been wholly without the meteorolog-
ical data from abroad that are required
for the making of reliable forecasts.
Previous to the inception Of war
these reports of data We're received
daily by the bureau at Washington,
which in turn communicated similar
data to the European nations. With
the beginning of hostilities, however,
this interchange of weather informa-
ton ceased abruptly on the part Of the
contendlng peoples.
Forecasts as Aid to Enemy.
The European weather forecasts, like
those of this country, are intended to
estimate the weather for only q few
days in advance, but even these We're
discontinued as affording possible in
formation Of value to the enemy.
AS an example of the effective use
to which weather forecasts might be
put, the knowledge Of the atmosphere
conditions that might be expected to
prevail over the North sea and the
English channel may be cited. With
weather forecasting at its present
standard Of accuracy, the information
it affords may be depended upon for
short periods with reasonable certain
ty and for the short time required for
swift dashes across those bodies Of
water a fair average of Drognostca-
ton is attained
OF special interest. then, is such n
statement as that of Lionel w. Lvde
in his "The Continent Of Europe
"The low temperature and conse-
quent high pressure force the whole
air currents into lines of least resist
ance which come to be called the 'cy-
clonic tracks We thus have a con-
stant succession Of more or less violent
storms passing up the English chan
mel forming almost as sure a line of
defense for England as the channel
itself"
For this reason many believe that an
! invasion of England by the kaiser's
Zeppelins would be practically an i'm
I possibility. Even at the best the cham
mel in winter is most tcmpcstuous. At
its worst. when to the sudden storms
is added the fog, the channel is dam
ger that only the most reckless would
tempt.
English Channel.
While the weather on that part Of
the continent where fighting is reuson-
ably expected to occur during the Win
ter is quite cquablc compared with the
violent fluctuations of atmospheric con-
! ditions in the English channel, it is by
no means a constant quality. The gulf
stream, which plays an important part
in the development of the weather of
the channel, has also a large influence
upon the coasts of Europe, but the for
nations of the continent in large meas
/ ure modify the effect Of that wonderful
river OF the sea.
Europe has three elevated regions
the central plateau of France, the Alps
and the Carpathians. These to large
extent influence the climatic conditions
of the western part of the continent.
The lowlands Of the Rhonc and the
70 and the Hungarian plains have OK
ceptional long spells of warm weather,
which is markedly continental. Other
deprcssions surrounded by mountains,
like the middle Rhine plain and both
valleys south of the Caucasus noun
tains, have favorable climates at all
seasons.

BILE balloon, then. is not exaggerated
it may prove to be quite feasible for
masses Of foot soldiers, operating un-
der cover of the tremendously long
range artillery now in use, to be thrown
forward far greater distance than ordi-
nary bases Of supplies might seem to
warrant, complete dependence being
placed upon the balloon to fetch on
supplies unhampered by any obstacles
afforded to wheel vehicles by swollen
rivers or mired roads.
In estimating the carrying capacity
Of balloons it must be borne in mind
that the contraction Of gas because of
cold will lessen their lifting powers
considerably in the winter. Experts
in army aviation in pointing out that
deficiency of balloons in cold weather
say also that the harmful effect of
winter upon the operation OF aero
planes will be even greater, because
not only will the mechanism Of the
aeroplane be subject to arrangement
in extremely low temperatures. but
also its occupants will be more ex-
posed to the elements. What dangers
such temperatures impose upon aero
planists have been proved by some of
the record altitude flights.
Winter as an Ally.
\ we'll known ordnance expert of
the war department gives it as his
opinion that the "outcome of the war
will depend in very large measure
on which side has the best winter sol
diers.' In Offering this opinion he call
ed attention to the various difficulties
with which the different branches of
the army would be confronted in WIN
ter warfare.
I'm the last analysis" he said, ''it is
the man behind the gun. Heavy ord
nance and light arms can be fired with
more frequency in cold temperatures,
according to theory. At the same time,
if the weather is so extreme that the
men are compelled to Wear gloves, as
we'll as other heavy garments. their
effective manipulation of the guns be-
comes difficult and even impossible
"If the army moves from permanent
winter quarters it is confronted sooner
or later with the task of constructing
trenches and quarters for shelter from
the elements and from the assaults of
the enemy. With the ground frozen
the problem of digging trenches is Il
tremendous one. Even the disposal of
dead bodies might prove serious
problem to be solved only by crema-
| ton.
| Camp Sanitation.
Camp sanitation. however. is easier
to provide for in winter than in sum-
mer. While winter brings danger of
frOstbite. pneumonia and rheumatism.
it virtually nulliiics danger of typhus
and other disorders most imminent in
summer The absence of flies and 9TH
er insects in winter is a considerable
advantage In maintaining hygiene.
"The winter diet of the men and of
the horses ought to differ from that
Of summer. The men are ant TO re-
quire more meat for example. and the
horses more grain. Tie gross amounts
of supplies. however, are not so fable
to change"

STEEL STOCKS
BRING FORTUNE
TO A GROCER
Sells Out Business and Invests
All His Money in War
Shares.

The wheel Of fortune has done It's
full share for Wesley Grace, 10 years
old, u retired sea captain, Of Goshen,
n. j. One year ago he was the pro-
prIetor OF a small grocery store and
the owner of a modest home in that
crossroads village. Today he is the
wealthlest resident, not only OF Gosh
en-, but Of all Cape May county. He
no longer owns the small grocery
store. but in its stead he is possessor
of nearly $1,000. 900 in bonds and
stocks Of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration.
Captain Grace's enviable condition
is due to the fact that he is the faith
err of his son. That son happens to
be president OF the Bethlehem Steel
Company. and It "a upon his sug-
gestion that Captain Grace converted
his grocery store and real estate into
cash n year ago. The proceeds, plus
what money he could obtain by stretch
ing his borrowing capacity to the ut
most, Captain Grace put into the Beth
lehem basket.
The old man said tho other day that
lust before Bethlehem steel began Its
remarkable rise his son came to him
and said: Father. you have spent
many years OF hardship for me on the
sea. I want you to sell your grocery
store and raise all the money you can
and then let me invest 1t for you"
~ didn't know how 1t would pan
out" said Captain Grace. but had
confidence In my sons Judgment. The
first thing I heard after stalking my all
on one throw was that I was worth
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars. I
certainly denied myself n great deal
to give my boy an education, but I'm
getting pretty good returns now"
After graduation from Lehigh Uni
versity sixteen years ago, Eugene G.
Grace doggedly cut loose from an
academic environment, put on over
alls and began operating al electric
crane at the Bethlehem plant for $40
a week. Last year his income was
more than $2.O00.0 900.

women no longer demand shoes a
size smaller than the size OF their
feet" said one dealer in women'a
shoes. "But ninety-nine women out
of a hundred insist on shoes with the
French heel With the heel raised
so the front of the foot necessarily
spreads and demands a wider shoe.
Women walk more now than their
mothers did, and that has a tendency
to increase the size Of thslr feet.
However, American women will al
ways be noted for their becoming
footwear. They have never been so
particular as now to obtain a shoe
cut to fit the foot exactly. Shoe lines
all tend to make the foot appear small
er, without exactly cramping 1t. Also
women visit the c%hiropodist more ire
quently and keep their feet in better

A WeN-Croomtd Woman

While clothes are an important fac
tor in ones appearance, it is not the
o1ly one to be considered. SO many
busy housekeepers neglect to pay suf-
fu:ent attention to their own personal
appearance. We are not all born
teauties, neither are we born hsne-
~. unless the case be abno NAL. "A
clean, healthy woman, who carries
herself erect, and dresses herself prop
erly, is never homely, while on the
other hand a slovenly, sickly, cranky
person is never pretty, says a writer
in Farm and Home. How eyes our
features may differ, if we ara normal
we all have hands, feet, had, CON-
playions and figures that need atten-
ton to keep them in good oriei and
in {, cd shape.
The complexion is generally a
pretty good indication Of the health
Ct the individual. A complexion that
is put on deceives no n and makes
the wearer only ridiculous. Some
points to be remembered by one who
would preserve a good complexion are
as follows: Keep the bowels regular
by natural methods. Drink little tea
or coffee, but plenty Of milk, butter
milk, or pure water. Eat literally OF
fruits and vegetables, but rather spar
ingly Of meats and greasy foods. Elk
ercise regularly in the open air and
sleep enough and in a well ventilated
room. Wash your face carefully and
thoroughly, morning and evening, US
ing only pure soap, with warn water.
followed by a rinsing with cold water.
Frequent bathing is conducive to
good health. II keeps the pores OF the
skin clear, so that they can perform
their proper functions, clearing the
system of excretions which cannot be
discharged in other ways. A brisk rub
after the bath promotes circulation of
the blood.
