it Is perfectly correct and in my opinion rather nice.
 As I said, the parents and rela- tives of the bridegroom elect should make the first move to establish cordiality between the two families. They should call on the girl and her mother, but if they live some distance away they should write cor dial letters to the girl expressing their pleasure at the engagement The young mans mother may invite the girl to visit them.
 All letters and calls should be an- swered and returned if possible with in a week. The bride-elect should not delay answering her future family in laws letters and she should write them in the same spirit which their letters were written, for every girl must realize that her first duty to her future husband lies in :1aking his family feel kindly toward her. On the other hand, it is their duty also to make her feel kindly toward them.
 The Behavior of An Engaged Couple
 The engaged couple should never make themselves conspicuous by ob-
 
 by seeming interested only when talking to each other. It is not only very bad form but extremely boring to other people. If they can- not feel interested in others, they should not go out, but once they are among a number of people they should behave toward each other as they behave toward the rest.
 It is not customary for an en- gagged couple to make calls togeth 1T except on relatives or intimate friends, of course. they are invited to make the call.
 When An Engagement Is Broken
 If for some reason either or both of the young people find themselves unsuited to each other, 1t is my be- lief that they certainly should not hesitate to break the engagement. It may take a little courage on he part of the girl, and I think that parents should always help her by making her feel that they think she is doing right. The short embarass- ment at the time is much better than possible years of unhappiness for both.
 When an engagement is broken off, it is the duty of the girls mother to write to friends telling them of the break without giving any req Son whatsoever, unless it be a mere statement that it was by mutual con- sent,
 The ring is. of course, returned, but there is no definite rule for the return of any present given by eith- CT. This depends largely on the man. ner in which the engagement is broken and the friendly or unfrend- ly feeling that may exist. Any pres- ent of real value should, I think, be returned.

TORNADO VAS FREAK OF NATURE:
DISTRICT NOT IN CYCLONIC BELT
Continued on Page .. Colum

The tornado, which swept its dis
astorus path through Silver Spring and
Sligo yesterday afternoon was a freak
of nature and does not indicate that
Washington is in a cyclonic belt, in the
opinion of weather bureau authorities.
Tornadoes in this section, it was
pointed out, are rare, and the few that
have occurred in years past We're only
squalls in comparison with the one that
wrecked a dozen homes in the nearby
Maryland town, swept away trees and
telephone poles and injured four persons.
Path 200 Yards Wide.
AS a matter Of fact the records at
the weather bureau, in its half CEN
tury of existence. have not chronicled
a tornado within the District, a Pc
rusal today by DR.. P. c. Day showed.
Back in 1879, DR.. Day said, tornado
struck Sandy Spring, Md, on Septem-
Der 3, but did little damage. Again
in 1891, he added, a tornado of mild
intensity blew through Nottingham.
Prince Georges county, Md. but like
wise was not very destructive. In
recent years several tornadoes Of
mild intensity have occurred in the
vicinity of Baltimore and Annapolis.
A survey of the path of yester
days tornado by Wilfred Day, as
sistant to the weather bureau fore
caster, showed that it was about 200
yards Wide and two miles long. The
velocity of the wind was estimated
rs ranging between 100 and 200 miles

Cause of Tornado.
Forecaster Bowie explained that
tornadoes are different from cyclones
in that they do not cover as great an
area as cyclones, and the wind veloc-
ity is more intense. He said it was
unusual for a tornado to occur at this
period of the year in this section of
the country.
The tornado, it was pointed out. was
caused by a volume Of warm air try
ing to rise above volume of cold air
above 1t, which caused a vortex. Had
there been any instruments for
measuring wind velocity in Silver
Spring when the tornado struck. it
was explained, it would have been
virtually impossible to record its in

velocity of the wind in the case of
the tornado yesterday was said TO
