Tornado Time

From Alabama comes the report Of
the seasons first tornado. AS the sun
moves northward the tornado belt WILL
with slight deviations, keep pace with it,
until in June there will be news Of
devastating storms in the Dakotas and
Minnesota.
The home of the tornado is the Mis-
sissppi basin. 1t never ventures east
of the Alleghanies or beyond the noun
tain barrier of the West The physical
contour Of the United States is respon-
sibe for this seemingly freakish favor
itism. The Mississippi basin is walled
in by high ranges, and with spring the
warm, moist winds of the Gulf move up
the valley. Then a cold wind sweeps
down from the Northwest and the two
are hemmcd in. When they meet under
the right conditions they go "round
and round" forming what in popular
parlance is "cyclone"
In meteorological text books, however,
there is distinct difference between a
cyclone and tornado. A cyclone is an
atmospheric disturbance Of from one
hundred to five hundred miles in diam
eter, in which the wind moves in a circle
in the opposite direction to the hands of
a clock. All great storms which cross
the United States from west to east
are cyclones.
In a cyclonic area, under the right
conditions, there may take place one or
several tornadoes. A cyclone is big and
sluggish, as a rule, but a tornado is
always little, in comparison, and never
sluggish. 1t may be only two hundred
yards in diameter, or less, and it moves
forward with speed OF sixty or seventy
miles an hour. But accompanying this
forward movement is a whirlng move

speed.
One of the interesting researches of
the Weather Bureau has been along the
line of tracing the derivation of the
word tornado" Dictionaries attribute
it to the Spanish verb to,nar, to turn,
but the Weather Bureau is of the opin-
ion that this is only partly right. Ac-
cording to it, tornado is combination
of two Spanish words, tor7ar, to turn,
and t'onido, thunder; hence, thunder
storm that turns or twists.

Peales Full Length Washington

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: A recent issue of The Tribune refer
ring to the portrait of Washington unveiled
by President Wilson while in London states
that ct was painted by Bcal, of Phila-
delphia, and was one of three copies, the
original Of which hung in the Council
Chamber at Philadelphia and was burned
many years ago"
In correction, it may be Of interest to
know this portrait was the work of Charles
Wilson Peale, who painted numerous life
portraits of Washington and that the
original Of this full length, painted from
life, was not destroyed, but now hangs in
the gallery of the Academy of the Fine
Arts in this city. The unpublished CORE
spondence of the artist now in nv pos
session refers to this portrait 1t may be
Of interest to add that the sash mentioned
worn not as an exception in the case
of the commander in chief as intimated
but in pursuance of the army headquarters
order of July H. 1775, issued at Cambridge
Mass, by which the general officers in the
army were distinguished as follows:
The commander in chief light blue
ribbon worn across the breast between coat
and wastcoat; maj or and brigadier general
by pink ribbon worn in like manner and
aids de camp, by green ribbon.
Pealc was called upon to paint num-
Der of copies of this portrait for the sew
cral states and for presentation to foreign
courts, and including also n copy ordered
for the college at Princeton, now in Mas
sau Hall.

4 Miniature Rebellion

The New Ulm episode the first large
pro German demonstration in the state
The City Attorney of New Ulm, Albert
Pfaender, led a movement of protest
against the draft law, which gathered 5000
people in its first meeting This was July
%, 1917. On a smaller scale similar erup-
tons appeared in number of other places
Meantime the head of the Nonpartisan
League, A. c. Townley, had entered the
state in an effort to gain members and was
making such utterances as these
well, the rich man will stay at home.
He's making the rules of the game
These boys will give the biggest sacri-
fees men can make. They will give up
their lives. They will lose legs and arms.
Whole companies will be blown to atoms.
Hundreds of thousands, yes, millions of
the best you have will be sacrificed.
There is a question of fact as to what
Mr. Townley said at this time. His exam
nation before the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs MAY 1, 1879 puts the
matter in the most favorable light to him,
and, | think, will convince any one as to
the general character of his utterances.
He probably did not directly oppose the
draft or the First Liberty Loan. He did
seek to stir up the feeling that the war was
being by capitalists at the expense
of the poor Other league speakers took
the same line.
There followed the effort in September
of the i'll fated Peoples Peace Council to
meet in Minneapolis under the protection
of Socialist mayor. Governor Burnquist
promptly prohibited the council from meet
ing anywhere within the state, on the
ground that its meetings would result in
rioting and loss of life. 1t will be recalled
that the Peoples Council was later run
out of Wisconsin, and finally broken up in
Chicago by Governor Lowden. What is
little known in the East is that Governor
Frazier of North Dakota "a leading figure
in the Nonpartisan League, invited the
Peoples Council to meet in his state and
promised it protection. 1t would have at
tempted to meet there had not Max
Eastman meeting in Fargo, N. d. been
broken up by riot.

Decoration for Valor
GFyons Poetry)

(Fron Poetry)
THIS boy, who stands so straight
Il While the general pins the medal on
his coat,
May be thinking of frame house
On Kelley Avenue in South Bend,
Or of the misery of having every one look
at him
While the trumpets blare.
But if should ask him if he remembered
Curtius of Rome,
Or Childe Roland.
Or the Stainless Knight,
He would shake his head awkwardly
And say,
"No, ma am"

When | Read Names of England

fF'rom The Atlantic Monthlp)
NTHEN I read names of England
w Old as the Druid stones,
fall into a dream of men
Now but dust of bones.
Around Tintagel hangs the shroud
Of fame of crumbled kings;
Though Quarley Down is pasture now,
Anciently it sings.
Ambleside and Bow Fell,
St. Anne's- he~Sea:
The quaintness of an elder dag
Imparts their wizardry.
Do they speak out to Englishmen
With strange and haunting notes,
Does long-familiar music still
Tighten the English throats?
If / were a British yeoman
Caught by the spell of name,
I wonder if Vermont would burn
With CORVALLIS primrose fame?
Would there be mystery in these
Tombstone and Buffalo?
And in Chicago, SCARED with wounds
London does not know?
Quarley Down was young once,
Clovelly not at all;
Two thousand years and Michigan
VIII bear the eyes of Saul;
Two thousand years and one will sigh,
Dreaming over the word,
Michigan! Michigan.
And l shall have heard.

The La Toilette Incident

Soon after came the famous Townley con-
ference of farmers and laborers in Mime
apols which resulted in the La Toilette
explosion. There is good reason to believe
that Towpley did not know what La Toilette
was going to say, and had, indeed, at
tempted to keep him within bounds 1t
seems clear that by this time the Nom
partisan League leaders had awakened to

Of the law was thus stated in a recent re-

Of the law was thus stated in a recent re-
port to Governor Burnquist:
Even before Congress declared war in
April, 1917 many of our people, irrespec-
tive Of their racial origins or affiliations,
appreciated the significance of the contest
IN Europe, and were openly and heartily
in favor of our entering the war. But
this was by no means true of all our
people Some of them at first could not
see why we should get into it at all.
There are several explanations of this
Many Of our people did not understand
the principles governing ocean traffic nor
grasp the paramount Importance of main
tanning the rights Of the country and
its citizens under the established law
Of the sea- We live far from the coast,
and thousands of us have never seen
the ocean or the big ships which sail
on it. The sentiments of these people
were reflected in the votes of some of
Minnesota's representatives in the two
houses of Congress on the McLemore
resolution.
"Another explanation was the racial
situation in the state. We had a popu-
lation of about 100000 by the 1910
census, and more than 70 per cent of
these were either foreign born or of
foreign parentage on one or both sides.
Out of the 100000 people nearly
100000 were either born in Germany or
Austria, or were of German or Austrian
parentagc. There were many sections
where the English language was not
spoken, and in some cases not under
Stood where the English language news
papers did not circulate, and where q
foreign tongue was the medium of com
muncation in church and school, in the
home and in business relations"
