Mr.. Palmer's testimony to

Palmer told the senator's,

Tomatoes and
Cyclones
Storms as Defined by the u. S.
Weather Bureau

Weather men define a tornado as a
violent windstorm, with rain or hail,
thunder and lightning, in which the air
masses whirl with great velocity
around a central core, while the whole
storm travels across the country in a
narrow path at high speed. The thun-
der and the Whirling motion have Civ
en- rise to two theories of the deriva-
ton of the word as to whether it is
derived from the Spanish tornado" a
thunderstorm, or from the Latin "tOrn-
are" to turn.
A cyclone, in the definition of the
weather bureau, is not necessarily a
windstorm of great velocity, but rath-
er widespread storm that moves with
no great speed. It's width may cover
several states. This cyclone, or area
of low pressure-indicated as slow" on
the weather map-gives conditions es-
sential to tornadoes. Many cyclones
never develop a tornado, but tornado
never develops without the cyclone,
and almost invariably the tOrnadoes Oc-
cur in the southeast quarter of the
low area. About 120 cyclones pass
across the United States each year,
moving in a general way from west to
east. They are of great benefit be-
cause they induce movement of surface
air from the south and southeast, and
the rainfall that makes the great in
terror valleys rich agricultural region
is dependent upon these southerly,
misunderstanding winds.
Practically all of the cyclones of the
warm season give rise at some time or
place to thunderstOrms or hail or vio-
lent winds. These winds may be vio-
lent enough to cause destruction, but
unless they have the whirling column
of air they are not tornadoes. In the
East it is not always easy to distin-
guish the funnel-shaped cloud, but the
lay of the debris after a storm will
tell whether there has been a twist
ing motion.
Tornadoes almost invariably move
in an easterly direction and generally
from southwest to northeast. The av-
erage length of the path of destruction
is about % miles, and this path may
not be continuous, if the funnel cloud is
not in contact with the earth during it's
whole course. Sometimes it rises and
goes for a considerable distance before
descending again.

Keeping Books Aids Farmer
in ASCertaining What Part
of Living Comes From Farm

(By the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
How many people know just what
it costs them to live? Such informa-
ton is extremely valuable, especially
if the makeup of the cost is known,
both as to money cost and the other
factors. To the farmer such data
should prove valuable, indeed, espe-
cially in determining what part of his
living comes from the farm.
If the accounts have been complete
Iy kept, the household expenses are
easily assembled from the cash rec
ord, inventory and record of supplies
used. Nothing in the realm of figures
is more likely TO astonish the average
farm family than a summary of the
household costs. The farm furnishes
the family a house to live in, milk,
butter, cream, eggs, pork, fowls. fuel,
vegetables and fruit, and often a great
many other things. Yet the farmer
often does not think of all these I'M
less they are set before him. If he
breaks even on the year he is likely
to think there is no profit in the bust
ness when, in fact, he may have been
living much better than the average
city business man of like education,
attachments and capital.
All these things may have to be
seen to be believed, but a well-kept
set of records, by adequate handling,
can be made to show them.

Dental Truck Is Provided
for the United States Army

The government has recently been
presented with a dental truck when
is remarkable for its completeness and
the ingenuity Of it's design. 1t is illus
trated in an article in Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Attached to either
side of the body and mounted on
frames that fold up, jackknife fashion,
are tents that can be opened quickly
when the car is at rest. These are
used as living quarters for the men IN
charge and for professional work. One
is equipped with a portable dental
chair and an oil heater.
I The body of the car is equipped with
a regulation dental chair, gas-admin-
istering outfit, spacious cabinets Tor
instruments, washbasin, thirty-gallon
water tank, rotary pump, etc. Acety-
lene gas is supplied from compression
tanks for lights, a heater and a braz-
ing torch. Storage batteries supply
current for auxiliary lights, dental
lathe and an electric engine.

Living on Vegetables.

There is at least one family in
England which can snap its fingers at
Lord Rhondda and whose members are
not to be found in food queues. The
head of the family recently wrote to
a London newspaper that himself, wife
and family of four have lived for IA
weeks wholly on raw vegetable salads
made of grated turnips, carrots, pars-
nips, beets, cabbages, etc., together
with fruit salads, toast and porridge
and says that they are all much
healthier as a result. They use nei-
Their tea nor coffee, and grow their
own vegetables, and SO may be regard
ed as the most Independent family in
England.-New York World.

Traumatic Shock, Harvard
Medical Expert Finds Far
Most Deadly in Trenches

Men rarely die of shell shock but
they have been dying at the rate of
10000 a year in the English and
French armies alone as a result of a
far more deadly form of shock-trau-
matte shock, says the Atlantic
Monthly. In fact, the latter is usu-
ally fatal when skilled assistance is
not at hand. DR.. William t. Porter
of the Harvard medical school has
been sent into the front line trenches
in France 10 study this strange enemy
in action. Traumatic shock, he found,
usually follows a serious fracture or
a major bone like the hip bone or
multiple wounds through the sub-cu-
taneous fat layer.
By experimenting with injecting
olive oil into the veins of cat Dr.
Porter developed symptoms identical
with those appearing in cases OF
traumatic shock, confirming his BELIEF
that fatty globules are released into
the veins by certain wounds and these
gradually clog up the hairlike capil-
laries of the brain until circulation
ceases. Then began an interesting Sc
ries of experiments in the front line
trenches in which DR.. Porter tried the
experiment of giving carbon dioXide
to freshly wounded men to prevent
shock. The poilus were delighted
with his tests and crowded around
eagerly to watch the operation.
All of these details, together with
many keen and humorous reactions
of a trained observer in the war zone,
are set down in DR.. Porter's recently
published little book, "Shock at the
Front" In fact, one well known
critic insists that the book, far from
being a mere medical treatise, is
rather ga glimpse of the war done in
sharp stroke by a physician who has
as pretty a technic with the pen as
with the scalpel."
