ocean current, acting as a natural
heating agency, tempers the climate
at Glasgow so that it's average tenn
perature for December is Identical
with that in our National Capital.
THE equatorial current, which plays
the role of furnace for the land
areas which it adoins. drifts west
erly UP and through the caribbean
Sea and north and south of the West
Indies. and then around the Mexican
Gulf in a northerly course along the
South Atlantic Coast as the Gulf
Stream. Proceeding northeasterly
across the North Atlantic Ocean. this
flow of warm water divides into sub
currents, which are effective in mod
Grating weather conditions in the
British Isles, France, Portugal and
she African coast.
The midocean circulation of salt
water currents follows in general the
circulation of the atmosphere above.
The center or nucleus of this circu-
latory system is the Sargaso Sea, an
ocean eddy where practically no
water movement occurs.
The effect OF the Labrador and
other frigid currents of Arctic source
which flow southwark down the At
Iantic Coast inside the Gulf Stream Is
depicted on the pilot chart by the con-
gestion of the isotherms of both air
and water between Cape Hatteras and
Newfoundland. This is the mammoth
fog belt of the North Atlantic, the
number of foggy days for the month
being shown on each pilot chart. The
most northerly aviation route recon-
mended as safe on the Nays new
est pilot chart of the air is to the
south of this fog area-a bugaboo OF
successful flying. Many other impor-
tant routes are shown on the chart, in
Guiding those traversed by the Euro
pean hirdman who crossed the South
Atlantic during trips from Africa to
Brazil. Air temperatures and fog in
formation are of negligible importance
along these courses and they do not
menace travel by air on these routes.
The naval photographers have
plated a number of interesting curves,
using various Weather Bureau publ
cations and data. They include. among
other things. graphic illustrations of
diurnal variations in wind velocity at
different attitudes. Cases are cited of
marked differences In wind velocities

woods where they grow should be
thinned in cutting the Christmas trees.
IIaphazard cutting should not be toll
Grated. The woodlands should be han.
died as sources of profitable tree crops
which are available for cutting each
year. They should be maintained as
commercialized enterprises rather than
sources of something for nothing"
No recorder of human emotions
has been perfected which can register
the joy and happiness promoted from
one end of this country to the other
by the Christmas tree celebrations and
ceremonies which are traditional
events on every calendar. Each fam
lily tree is source Of pleasure for
about five persons. Church, public
and community trees add to the hap.
piness Of many millions. The evi.
dences are that more than 75,000,000
residents of these United States are
gladdned annually by Christmas trees.

Friction and Force.

1t isn't very hard to walk along
the sidewalk. but If you try to push
heavy box along it is a different
story. This is, not because of the
weight of the box. in itself, but be-
cause of friction, the rubbing of the
box against the pavement.
Half of the energy used in the
world Is used in overcoming the
mighty forces of friction, although
we could not do so much unless il
were present. Oil is put on ma
chinery to overcome friction. Wheels
are used for the same purpose.
AS hard as men try to overcome
friction they could not live without
1t. For one thing. we could not
walk, because IL one foot did not
stick to the ground while the other
was being brought forward we could
get nowhere. but would be continual
~ sliding, just as a fellow who is
on very slippery ice and tries TO
walk. Nor could automobiles run II
II were not for some friction.
Engineers and mechanics are for
ever trying to get less friction i'm
their machines. but they will never
succeed in eliminating Ii entirely,
and they do not want to, because
the machines would not run at all
then.

Odd how your worst enemies
sometimes turn out to be your
best friends. It is not always
intentional, Of course, but Stun
bling-blocks do develop into step
ping-stones, and il you have any
doubts about such q statement,
consider how much good Hubert
dutch" Leonard has done Ty
Cobb in the last six months.
Intent on getting even" with
Cobb for waving him out Of the
league, Leonard turns up all Of
the so-called evidence in the
Cobb-Speaker scandal. For a
while he no doubt caused the
Georgia Gentleman q few rest
less nights, but in the end Mr..
Leonard's gesture resulted in
Cobb's signing the biggest play
ing contract extant.
Although IL is not definitely
known that the Athletics are
paying Cobb those $75, 900 alleged
dollars, all or part cash, it is
well established that two clubs,
New York and st. Louis, offered
him $4,000 as q starter. Fig.
uring from that point upward,
it isn't difficult 10 imagine how
Tyrus had the trio, Including
Philadelphia, bidding their heads
off.
And just how much Of the
aforementioned SIS, 900 Cobb is
worth is more or less borne out
by a couple Of incidents Of this
week. Sporting writers, men
hardened to thrills and heroes,
men who have watched the
DeInpseys and the Alexanders
and Johnsons without batting an
eye, cheered Cobb for five min
utes on different occasions.
In New York 800 of them
and their guests formed q Cobb
Marching Club among the tables
at the annual baseball writers
dinner. A couple Of evenings
later 500 duplicated the per-
Torrance at the philadelphia
sport writer's dinner when Cobb
announced his signing with the
AS.
These gentlemen are not
given to bologna, except in a
typographical way. They ap-
preciate Cobb's worth. his years
of hard playing, and in this they
see an incomplete career which
has made for them reams Of
copy. II baseball were not
jeweled with the Cobbs and
Speakers and Johnsons and
Ruths, it would be a colorless
institution indeed.
