The Different Storms.
The weather man" differentiates
between general varieties of storms
which the layman is apt to classify
under the general heads of tornadocs,
cyclones, or hurricanes. To the
scientist, cyclones are either tropical
or extropical. The tropical cyclone is
a storm which originates in the trop-
les and Is a vast atmospheric whirl,
rotating counter clockwise in the
northern hemisphere and clockwise in
the southern hemisphere. The winds
spiral from the outside toward the
center and attain a destructive We
locity.
A tropical cyclone or typhoon, as 1t
is sometimes called, always is attend
ed by torrential downpours of rain
and may be from 800 to 600 miles in
diameter. The winds often attain a
velocity of more than 100 miles an
hour in their whirl. The last destruc-
tive tropic cyclone to visit the United
States was that which wrecked Gal
weston, Texas, On Sept. s, 1900, caus'
ing 5000 persons to perish and a
property loss of $30,000,O0O.

Toll Rates are Explained
By T Telephone Officials

The following on telephone toll
rates has been submitted by officials
of the Richmond Home Telephone
company:
Although the present telephone toll

sation with any one answering the
telephone.
When a person makes a toll call

What's in a Name
ROBERTA
Copyright


Roberta, the charming boyish name
signifying bright fame, is one of the
many examples of feminine names
coined directly from the masculine
cognomen, Robert. Though Robert can
be clearly traced, there is no record of
the evolution of the feminine and it
can only be deduced that some parent,
disappointed at the birth of daughter
bestowed the family name upon the
girl-child and added the final "a" as a
concession to the sex of the infant.
Roberta has a charmingly poetical
heritage. Her counterpart appears in
the most famous passages of England's
| early history. The origin of the name
was in red" which accounts for the
translation of bright. Curiously en-
ough, Roberta was popular in Italy
after being rejected by England, before

which Queen Elizabeth addressed the

AN IGNORANT COMPLAINT.

The New York Sun is indignant that
the Washington correspondents were not
informed about certain thing, but had
to depend upon the "best information OBJ
tainable." The subject about which
information was scanty, it says sareasti-
cally, was not q secret meeting of the
reds, or caucus of still owners, or a
conclave of political plotters. 'No,
gentle reader: the newspapermen were
doing their best to inform American
citizens on the subjects discussed, the
business transacted at Il meeting Of the
President with his cabinet. Pitiful pub
icity painfully purveyed."
1t is an immensely clever paragraph.
1t may impose upon some ignorant per-
son, az it was intended 10 do. Every per-
son who knows anything about govern
ment business knows that all cabinet
meetings at all times, under all Presidents
whatever the party, are strictly and
severely confidential. The cabinet meet
ings were as secret when Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft were President as they
are how. They always have been. There
never was a public cabinet meeting

GERMANY'S HARD TASK.

The unparalleled mass Of criticism now
rife in Germany comes from three classes:
The stupid who have not the faintest
simmer of an idea rs to how complicated
the situation has been, is and will con-
tinue TO be; the clever who spin all manner
of fine theories as TO how TO save the day
there is no economist who cannot tell you
precisely how Germany can be cured
OF her ills over night; and those who were
responsible IN one way or another for
the kapp revolt The latter are the worst
of Il for il Is they who IN an attempt to
conceal their OWN devilish schemes are
tanning the flames Of discomfort among
those who cannot be expected to know
better.
The country Is full of people who would
like to rise up some fine morning and find
that they can live as in pre-war days.
The sooner we all learn that Germany 5
restoration will be a matter of decades
the better it will be. The man who
promises to work magic is charlatan,
and charlatans are not TO be endured for q
minute. 1t is the duty Of every German
TO support the government by work, self
discipline and civic responsibility Crti-
cism is out of order, for under the present
conditions criticism is unscrupulous demo-
gogy and nothing more.-feliX Pinner

Seem TO be All Alike.

Taking advantage of the revelations in
respect Of lavish expenditures in behalf
of various aspirants to the Republican
nomination for President, especially in
the campaign for General Wood. Senator
Hi Johnson has been posing as the
poverty candidate" in n recent inter-
view he said ne was conducting a shoe
string campaign" one designed to ''see II
a man without power, wealth or influence
can be candidate for the highest Office
within the gift of the people. and ! am
demonstrating to my friends that it can
be done"
But without money, even though not
furnished by himself? 1t does not ap-
pear so. According to a dispatch from
Trenton. y. j., the johnson primary
campaign in that State was shown to have
cost sl0,7i720. in statement filed at
the State House. IL contained the
further information that Irving X. Tay-
lor of New York and Angus McSween,
Johnsons eastern campaign manager,
contributed all the money expended.
So it will be seen that Johnson also has
some angels" who are financing" his
primary campaign. in which respect he is
on all-fours with General Wood even
though his fund may not be as large as
Woods. But if it amounted TO more
than $1,000 in New Jersey IT must have
been much larger in other States. and very
considerable in its grand total.
What's the use of Hi talking in such

erty candidate?" He is. like his fellows.

OPERATING THE TREATY.

The alliance Of nations which defeated
Germany was not shattered a fortnight
ago, and consequently was not restored
last week. The facts are simple. What
was hailed in some quarters as the break
up of the Entente was only the functioning
OF the Entente, with many jars and much
creaking of the wheels, 10 be sure, but
operating nevertheless. There are GER
tain things which just cannot be; and one
of these is the disruption of the coalition
which fought and won the war and which
must maintain itself during the coming
years if Europe is not to iureh into chaos :.
The quarrel between Lloyd George aud
Millerand has had its prceedents When
President Wilson at Paris cabled for the
George Washington, when Orlando and
Sonnino quilted the Conference after
Wilson's note to the people of Italy, there
was the same talk OF n breakup of the
Allies These things did not happen
because they simply could not happen
Vet neither Wilson nor Orlando was
bluffing They were merely showing how
strongly they felt on the issues in con-
trovcrsv. They were practicing the most
open kind OF diplomacy so il was with
Llovd George and Millcrand. Each man
stated his case as strongly as might be.
And then they sat down TO hammer out a
settlement.
The settlement IS a compromise. But
il is a compromise in which both sides win,
because the disagreement was not single
issue. It was situation in which the two
sides each thought of its own predominant
interest and had no time TO think of the
other man interests At San Reno the
Allies have agreed TO think of the general
problem France wins because Germany
will now receive warning that she must
disarm and that she must give up hope on
SCATTERING the Treaty by objecting of
every point Great Britain and Italy
win because France has promised a formal
denial of all plans of annexation on the
left bank Of the Rhine. Neither side wins
or loses in the decision to restate Ger
many's financial obligations in definite
form To such a decision we were bound
to come sooner or later, and France must
have been aware Of the fact.-New York

TROUBLE AND FRIENDS.

It's seldom trouble comes alone, I've
notice this when things go wrong
An trouble comes a-visitin', it always
brings friend along,
Sometimes it's one you've known before,
and then perhaps it's someone new.
Who stretches ont a helping hand an
stops TO see what he can do.
I've. gone along through pleasant days
when had not thing TO dread,
An never thought about my friends
they just went trudgin' right ahead;
Then suddenly the clouds grew gray, an
right away friend OF two
Dropped everything to come TO me an
figure out what they could do.
II never trials came to US, if grief an
sorrow passed us by,
If every day the sun came out an clouds
were never in the sky,
We'd still have neighbors. | suppose, each
one pursuin selfish ends,
But neighbors only they would be-
we'd never know them as our friends.
Out Of the troubles have had, have come
my richest friendships here,
Kind hands have helped to bear my care,
kind words have fallen on my ear;
An so say when trouble comes, ! know
before the storm shall end
That ] shall find my bit of care has also
brought 20 me friend.
