THE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE.

All great things are wrapped I'M
derneath a covering of the impossible
before they are attempted.
The infinite God meant it that way
so as to dot the earth with men,
If you want inspiration to come to
you as you look toward your task, you
must first shake hands with the thing
that people say you can't do. And then
you get the spirit, you begin to see
light, you feel the intangible taking
upon tangibility-the impossible be-
coming perfectly possible. 8Ntl i.
The life that we all live is Come
what of relative dream after all. :
We ought to become expert at see
ing visions at onsets. We ought at
every early stage to become personally
conversant with all the knows and
"shalls'' and wills" and ''sures" of
our caliber.- So that we might pro-
coed with great expectancy. For then
we would be doors sure enough.
Expect the seemingly impossible to
be around. 1t always has been.
OF course the thing looks too big,
too intricate, and too arduous. If it
looked easy you would underestimate
its worth, both to you and to the
world. And that's what the enemy of

general most desires.

seemingly impossible-none others.

There appears to be a general pol

fic will bear. They appear to be anx-
ious to get all they can while the get
ting is good. never taking into eonsid-
Grafton the possibility of bringing
about the death OF the goose that lays
the golden egg. The United States
Steel Corporation is being pointed out
as an exception to this rule. The de-
mand for steel products is so heavy at
present and the position of the Steel
Corporation in the industry is so
strong that it could raise prices very
materially. il it desired. and thus pre-
sent a much better showing of net
earnings at the end of the current
year. Judge Gary chairman OF the
board, in addressing the stockholders
of the Steel Corporation recently, an
nounced that it was not the policy of
the company to gouge the public and
exact the highest prices for it's prod
uQ obtainable. To do so, he declared,
would be to contribute to the ever
widening vicious circle" of price in
flation and add to the high cost of liv-
ing. Good business policy, he said
lies in charging reasonable prices and
taking reasonable profits rather than
in dipping as deeply into the publics
pockets as possible.

struggling with each other like clench-
ed wrestlers, originates usually at the
cloud level. 1t moves downward, and
usually strikes the earth in the shape
of vortex of air, which has terrific
speed and power. Sometimes it does
not strike the earth at all. Sometimes
it strikes the earth and rebounds
again without doing any special dam
age.
The difficulty of forecasting lorna
does is evident. Any cyclone may
produce a tornado, and cyclone ac-
companied by a thunderstorm is more
apt to produce a tornado than one
that shows no electrical phenomena.
But on the other hand, only a very
small percentage of cyclones produce
tornadoes- A continual procession of
cyclones trail across the country, often
at the rate of one every week or so,
and yet a whole year may go by with
out a single tornado. Then again
there may be several tornadoes in
single season, as has happened this
spring.
So the tornado remains the mysteri-
Gus devil of the weather. The wealth
err bureau predicts floods with great
success and it issues warnings against
tropical cyclones. but the tornado al
most invariably takes the scientists by
surprise.
The tropical cyclone is a real cy-
clone That is it is the same sort of
thing as the ordinary cyclonic air
movements which bring most of our
storms here in the eastern United
States; but in the tropics these move
ments are smaller in circumference.
incomparab lely greater in strength
and. fortunately much less frequent in
occurrence. Often in a given region
like the West Indies there will be
such a storm only once in two or
three years. The weather bureau will
usually note the storm after it has
gotten started, and will send warning
to ships in its path by wireless. The
ships usually make port. Those over
taken by the storm are almost invaria-
bly, destroyed. The islands that are
struck by it suffer most. Ships in the
harbors are thrown up on the beach,
houses are blown down, and banana
and cocoanut groves that have taken
year to grow are destroyed in
moment.
These tropical storms are the only
true cyclones which are destructive.
In the West Indies they are called
hurricanes; in the China sea, ty-
phoons; in the Philippines, baguios.
In the Indian ocean region they are
generally known by their correct
name of cyclone.
Thus the true cyclone is found prac-
tically everywhere in the world, and
it becomes a deadly thing in all tropi-
cal regions. The tornado, on the
other hand, is a truly American insti-
tuition, for it is found at its worst only
in the plains region of the United
States, east of the Rocky mountains.

Along with everything else, war and
peace have advanced IN price. In the

There is a great hue and cry over
the profiteer. But where would the
government get it's revenues and
where would the scores of drives
for funds, now in progress, get the
money If it were not for the profiteer?
Certainly they could not get it from
the general public. which declares it is
having a hard time to live at present
prices of necessaries. And it cannot
be denied that the drivers are getting
the money.
