CuriOsities of: Wind and Tide

alteration OF land and sea breezes
which raise the water when the
wind blows on shore and depress
II when the wind is off shore. One
of the most notable effects of the
wind upon tides Though these are
not true astronomical tides) Is seen
In the phenomenon Of "seiches" In
lakes.
The lake of Geneva in Europe
has long been famous for this
species Of tide. But wind is only
one OF the causes at work In pro-
ducing seiches. Earth movements,
or tippings to and fro Of the lake
bed, the sdMtnrbance being of the
nature q " slight earthquake, or
series apfNiSht earthquakes, are

part Id the phenomenon.
But tides also produce winds.

of great force. That there must
be some reciprocal action of this
kind is evident, for a tide rising

the lower atmosphere on its back
and necessarily produces a varia-
ton Of harometric pressure,
which, in turn, creates an air cur
rent. In the Bay Il Fundy the
tide rises as high as sixty feet,
and this uplifts the air practically
as II the ground had swelled up TO
that height.

great effect that the movement of

INEXPENSIVE SUITS
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

For the matinee, she wears a
chocolate colored georgette blouse,
embroidered. a brown hat with
glycerine feathers, and a small
fur piece. Brown and sand col
ored pumps and sand silk hose
complete a fetching costume.
Grey homespun makes an at
tractive sports suit and ia smart
with grey footwear and a wooden
sports hat and scarf. Blue Is also
smart combined with grey foot
wear and a grey sports hat.
There are also many smart tri-
ootine and Poiret twill suits that
are inexpensive. One simple model
in navy blue twill shows a sim.
pie skirt and a box coat that
flares out from the shoulders to
the hips. A flame crepe blouse
and hat would lend considerable
charm to this suit and bring II
up to the minute. Or one might
choose a sand or grey blouse and
light footwear to brighten q dark
suit.
Sand colored triootine has again
made it's appearance, but this
time one finds the box coat flar-
ing out becomingly. A vest OF
periwinkle blue and hat to match
would be smart with this suit.
Wool Jersey is still In vogue
for general wear. although the
tweed materials are preferred.
One finds the Jersey suits in all
the wanted colors 1t unusually
low prices.

URING Q recent Sunday Il
was my privilege to make
the rounds or large
/ Southern city to study the ways
OF the youthful pleasure scekers-
On the Sunday following trav-
eied on a local train through fifty
towns and villages OF the central
South and was again able to study
pleasure seeking from another
angle. i.
Consider the boys and youths,
for example. In the big-city situ-
alton I found them actually hurry
ing from one pleasure center to an
other-movies. vaudeville, refresh
ment shops and ball games. Typi-
cally, the city youths appeared to
be thoroughly committed to the
idea that pleasure was to be found
only outside of themselves. It
was something to be chased after,
to be fought and to be consumed
quickly in anticipation Of another
round just ahead.
In the instance of the country
towns, the situation was FAR more
quiet. The passing Of the railway
train was the central attraction.
During this one day probably
5000 people-chiefly boys and
yoSths-sat on fences. leaned
against buildings. chatted and
joked quietly, staged an occasional
game of humble peg or leap frog,

The course CT the market confirmed
the prevalent impression that the re-
action, while eoninciding with dis
turbing news developments in the
Near East, was largely a readjust-
ment of weakened position. Trad
ing was largely in professional hands

stocks attracted an outside following.
While the domestic situation con-
tinues to improve the foreign Is still
uncertain. This is evident by the spe-
cial stress placed on 1t this week at
the convention OF the baners' associa-
ton.
While banking opinion Is divided as
to the advisability OF canceling all
