The weather bureau, as everybody

not that long-distance forecasts are
impossible. but that no method OF

Commander Brandt's answer is
that the weather bureau Is unac'
auainted with the results Of the
photographic Offices research work.
THE weather bureau" he says,
lis like the photographic offices in
that it hasn't the money to do more
than stick to it's appointed job, fixed
by law. That job is to get out daily
weather forecasts, not to expert
ment.
"Oniy. the photographic Offices
routine duties have taken 1t, aut;''
matically, in the direction Of lona-
distance forecasting. The weather
bureaus have not.
What we need now is some
agency with plenty Of funds to take
over the information already gata-
cred by the photographic office arc
use it practically in the making u
actual forecasts.

the science of the seas.
Weather study isn't its business
primarily. but incidentally it is.
THE seas provide the weather
The sun shines on them and warns
them up. Their currents distribute
this heat. But it varies. Some
times the sun furnishes more of it
than at other times. When the sun
eools off. so do the seas. Then the
weather changes.
RUN IN CYCLES
There's periodicity about thesS
changes. They run in cycles of
years. We haven't determined their
length accurately yet. We're study
ing them now.
Right here the Bible comes In.
1T contains an immense amount
of valuable weather data-all about
floods and famines. BY learning
when they occurred. we can Judge
what the weather must have been
like during those times.
THE Bible doesn't give many
dates, but experts have determined
them very accurately.
These Biblical weather reports
are reliable and quite complete. In
asmuch as we have these cycles OF
change, we can draw important con-
illusions for the future. from what

Then, Peter did something that
showed what kind Of gentleman
he was. When the referee handed
him the purse as the winner Of
the bout, he took the money and
handed it to Brannan.

Bonded Left Knee
Important For
Mashie Shot

One Of the most important
things in the playing Of the
mAshie shot, according to Ted
Ray, is the bending Of the left
knee. Neglect to ease the left
knee IN taking the club back
may bring about an error in
direction, as the club cannot be
brought across the front Of the
body, the left elbow flying out.
A firm grip is essential for the
mAshie, for as in the case Of
other iron clubs, it win strike
the ground with q violence
which may well cause it to twist
in the hands. The feet may be
a little more apart than is
usual.

an his fight with Mr.. FirpO,
the South American. Jack was
hit on the back of the head in the
second round and from that time
on was numb from the heels up.
It was a terrific blow, but Jack
fought on. Not knowing where
he was or what was going on he
flung his arms about, fighting
this giant Firpo round after round.
He forgot his science, he was
without his mental faculties, yet
he went on and on, and on, and
on, eventually scoring a knockout.
