can be applied within a few months
at comparatively cheap price to
the huIls of ships already construct
ed. the only change necessary In
vessels already built will be a slight
enlargement i'm their beams. My de-
vice is of solid material and encir-

Bobby Harron made many friends
by his work as the young soldier
boy in The Birth Of a Nation" He
will make many more by his clever
impersonatiOn of An Old Fashioned

Not only is he brave and chivalrous
but he is perfectly natural and does
exactly what the average young chap
in America would do under the
circumstances. The plot is worth
while. too. 1t is interesting. adven-
turOus and romantic without being
sensational or silly The settings
range from Los Angeles 10 New Or

Of the different cities visited. The

LaSalle attractions OF the month.

WHAT TORNADOBS ARE
a Sign Of Spriug-Warm and Cod
Struggle Dor Supremacy.

-
Chicago Triunc)
Eightv-one tornadocs have careerld
across Illinois within the last 10
years. They keep happening, but a
town in the way of a tornado hap
pens rarely. Only when it hits a
town does tornado become deadly
and famous, and here in the Middle
West towns lie conveniently wide
apart.
A tornado is 4 sign of spring.
Warmth and cold struggle for su-
premacy. Dampness adds to the in
stability of the air. A warm wind
brushes past cod wind, starts the
air wh;rling. forms vacuum inside
the whirl and column of vapor
around the vacuum. The newborn
monster rushes across the country
at the speed of an ordinary railroad
train. leaving devastation along "a
track anywhere from 600 feet to a
mile wide. Were the air sufficiently
damp, and therefore sufficiently I'M
stable. the same thing might happen
in the fall.
AND the same thing happens in
spring even in the East. Ours is not
peculiarly a tornado district. 1t is
only in district where, with a few
hills to interfere. tornaGoes have free
run. IRE killer East starts as many
aerial fandangoes, if not more. but
stuntss them skyward. 4 Once IL a
while. thanks 70 occasional hillocks,
the Middle West does likewise.
Acyclone, in technical parlance, is
