These Storms Are Peculiar to the

begin their migration northward to-
gether. Naturally they follow the
path Of least resistance, which Is up
the Mississippi Valley. Possibly
they barely have sighted the delta
country before they encounter cold
wind which Is overstaying it's lease
The ducks yield gracefully and
turn back. but the south wind Is
spunky and decides to fight The
two winds, being confined between
mountain walls, have no alternative
they must meet head on. They meet,
and, having met, they do very much
like two choleric men under similar
circumstances: they go round and
round.
The next day the newspapers
carry stories about some town in
Mississippi or Alabama having been
destroyed by a tornado. And the
season is on.
The winds from the Gulf are pug
nacious and persistent, and the cur
rents from up around Medicine Hat
are pushed back and back, fighting
at every step. The battle ground
moves from Dixie up into Oklahoma
and Arkansas, a skirmish line being
thrown out occasionally into Tennes-
see and Kentucky.
Kansas Is next; and the Sunfower
State, which modestly admits it's su-
periority in most respects, bitterly
denounces the popular belief that the
tornado is q Kansas product and
thrives there In exceptional numbers
and strength.

Formation of a Tornado


Toward evening clouds began to
be seen in the northwest and south
west Within a few minutes these
clouds began to rush toward each
other with lightning rapidity from
the south, southeast, northwest and
north. The lower current seemed
to come from the south and the up-
per from the southwest, the latter
being the stronger. The cloud in
the west and northwest was the
heaviest and blackest and appeared
to "sort Of hold back" or remain
stationary until it was struck by the
other clouds. Instantly there began
frightful commotion, the clouds
tumbling and tossing in an appalling
chaos, and there was heard "a roar
like thousand freight trains cross
ing a bridge"
In a moment the funnel which Is
characteristic Of the tornado ap-
pearcd and dropped to the earth like
a huge elephants tusk, twisting and
writhing across the country as
though guided by some colossal mon
ster of the upper air that was seek
ing its prey upon the earth.
1t was this tornado that revealed
to the investigator for the first time
that such storms appear to have no
effect upon the barometer. Excel
lent instruments within a few rods
of the path Of the storm gave no
hint of the approaching disturbance
and showed no reaction to It's i'm
mediate presence. In this instance,
however, as is the case with most
tornadoes, the thermometer regis
tered a rapid and pronounced drop
in the temperature Immediately af-
ter the storm.
A later investigator for the Unit
ed States Weather Bureau, writing
of the tornado, says:
Its almost irresistible force is so
terrifying and the damage and curl

In fact this nation must be saved, if i it be saved at all, by the citizen who gives an intelligent attention to pol itics incidentally to his everyday work in other fields
 And what field of duty more invit- ing than that of the intelligent exer- else of ones influence in the deter imitation of the affairs of ones coun- try. What service to society calling for a higher degree of intelligence broader information, knowledge of human nature and ability to "do things" than politics in republic like ours; what area of endeavor throw ing one into more interesting end en- Tightening relationship with ones fel- lows?
 Why should not men and women show the same zeal in informing themselves about politics and public affairs, the proper determination of which so vitally affects the future of our nation, as they do in becoming
 ''fGns" along other lines of human activity, some of them of no bearing whatever upon public welfare?
 The truth is that with all the big talk about creating a better social,
 economic and political order in our republic, there is only one way in
 which this can happen, and that is through more general, a more in- telligent and @ more effective exercise of citizenship rights, duties and op- portunities for practical human serv- ice by the every day people of this country Political activity, base not upon mere fealty to individuals or de- sire for officeholding or for power to be used for personal purposes, but upon fealty to principle, upon love of country and aspiration to serve it, should be held up before the people of this nation as the nob1est occupa-
 tion of citizenship. It should be un- derstood that the man or woman who
 refuses to take a hand in politics or public affairs as 8 mere kicker" "knocker," and chronic critic of what | is done by those who do anything, is mot the superior being he professes to be, but decidely undesirable cit izen.

Seeking a Remedy.

Following UP the suggestion of the
Bennington Banner that the impov-
erished ad distressed towns Of Yer
mont send representatives to con-
terence at some convenient point this
summer, the Brattleboro Reformer
calls attention to a recent commune
cation from a discouraged and pessl-
mist.c resident of "side-hill town
as follows.
Evidently Mr.. Jones of Windham
sees only further decline of the hill
towns owing to the development of
farm machinery which cannot be util-
lied in those sections, but the cling
ng to the town organization to give
some resident an opportunity to go to
the Legislature and the remaining resi-
dents to enjoy free newspaper for
few months once in two years. He
also thinks most farmers will struggle
along until there is sufficient growth
of timber to make good sale to some
lumberman who will Skin" the farm
and allow 1t to become abandoned. He
says: Practically all are waiting to
get a good price and then they intend
to sell out"
This is a situation that The Herald
cannot believe is widely characteristic
of Vermont towns as a whole. There
is pessimism and encouragement
here and there, but that there is a.
situation which defies remedy no be-
lever in the future of Vermont will
for a moment concede.
1t is natural for towns to cling to

The daylight saving law is being
steadily put back into effect by the
cities and towns of the United
States. Philadelphia and every one
OF its suburban neighbors have adopt
ted the plan through their town and
city councils. The following is from
. Norristown, Penn, paper:
Norrlstown has officially joined
the ranks of the progressives in the
matter OF up-to-date periods in
the good old summer time. She is go
ing to save daylight-an hour of ii
every day, beginning on the last Sun
day OF this. month; and she will as
suredly put the same to good advan-
take, whether az work or at play. AS
in the case of all the other go-ahead
cities, she was aghast at the action
of Congress in deliberately repeating
the very beneficial law which pro
vided for the daylight saving
throughout the land, and at once be-
gan to consider the proposition for
the enactment of local measures that
would give back what Congress, in
its mullet-headedness took away.
Her Council did it, Tuesday night
last, to the great JOY of every lover
of progress within her borders. Phil
adelphia, the key town of this sec
ton, gave not only Norristown, but
virtually all other communities here
about courage to resent the action
of the federal legislators, and it is
remarkable with what CELEBRITY things
moved. Since practically the whole
vicinity will be lin on the new or
der" no confusion will result. AS
a matter of fact, it will probably not
be long before the entire country
with the possible exception of a few
backwoods farming districts in the
west, will be saving daylight, spring,
summer and early fall.
