"SILvER THAW"
 OCCURS HERE
Thick Glaze of Ice Formed on All Cold Objects
 Unusual

A very unusual weather phen- omenon occurred in Juneau be- tween II D. m. yesterday and s o'clock this morning, during which time a light rain Cat in- tervals) fell while the ai. tenn perature at the surface of the earth was only 19 degrees. As a result of this rain and low tenn perature, a glaze of Ice about one-eighth of an inch thick form ed on all cold objects which were exposed to the east and south. Glaze rarely occur in Juneau They are quite common in the States, especially in the New England section.
 Glaze. or silver shaw" is pro duced when the ground and the lower levels of the air have been made excessively cold during prolonged period of clear anti cyclonic weather, when a moist upper air current in advance Of .tH oPpi ioNNhAhS ioN .Ddl Jiuctlis pressure area brings warmer weather to the upper air levels and precipitates rain. Glaze usually forms when the air tem- perature at the surface of the earth is near the freezing point. 32 degrees, but in todayss in stance rain occurred when the temperature was 13 degrees be- low freezing, thus indicating I very decided example of inyer- sion of temperature between the surface of the earth and in the upper atmosphere. The tempara- ture usually decreases at the rate of about one degree for every 30s feet of ascent, whereas last night the upper air was much war.nes than the lower strata.

HOME EDUCATION

Some children love to be the center of attraction while to oth- CTS such a position is an ordeal.
 We were calling at Margaret's. Margaret is Billy-Josephine's mo- ther In many ways she is a splendid mother for Billy-Jose- phine. who is nervous, highly strung child. very bright but very sensitive. But Margaret at that time had the bad habit of con tinually desiring Billy-Josephine to show off"
 Billy-Josepnine. I know, in her wee heart likes to be let alone. She doesn't enjoy the showing off and had tried to tell Mother Margaret so.
 "BillyJosephine is such moa. est child" Margaret explained. She really has a lot of talent but she always protests when l ask her to be in the little plays the school and church give. Why if I had not insisted, she would not have recited and sung as she did at the three different enter tainments last week"
 There were five of us sipping tea in Margaret's big living room on this particular day. I had brought with me three of our old school friends whom Billy-Jose- phine had never seen.
 A few minutes later Margaret called to Billy-Josephine. who left her play to be Introduced to Mo ther's friends.
 Dear, make your little curtsy and sing for the guests" Margaret coaxed, starting toward the piano.
 The child hung her head, blush. ing. nervously pulling at her dress.
 'BillYJosephine." the mother urged. her tone more persistent, do as Mother says"
 By this time the request had become a command. and a com mand before strangers is not con ducive to a happy state of mind.
 ''But. Mums-dear--" the child hesitated. TT don't want to-"
 ''Billy-Josephine! Mother does not want to have to speak again If she does." she spoke very se verely. "she will have to punish.
 Still more humiliation
 Finally, Billy-Josephine burst out crying.
 Her mothers face reddened as she hurried the unhappy child td b61.

Shipping congestion and the great
need for planes at tho front rendered
this desirable. Though the armistice
came before the planes were com
pletcd. the work was continued in the
interest Of aerOnautical science. and
in May, 1919. the NC4, under Lisut.
Comdr. A. &. Read, completed the
flight across the ocean.
This stuDendous achievement,
says the handbook, ''marktng the first
crossing of the Atlantic by air, was
considered to be the greatest feat
which America, had performed in the
air since the Wright brothers flight
in 1903"
At present the Smithsonian has
only the hull OF the NC4, because
room adequate for the entire plane is
lacking The wing spread is / 1856
feet. 1t is hoped that in time a suit
able building capable OF containing
the entire aviation exhibit will be
made available to the National Mu
scum by Congress- If such a building
materializes, the NC4 viii be assem-
bled for the benefit of visitors.
Besides this pioneering plane, the
Smithsonian has the fagpiane Of the
four De HaVilandS which made the
9,000-mile round trip flight from New
Ofk 10 Nome, AidShd, III 45Zu, GHueI
Capt. St. Clair Street; the IT,, huge
monoplane, which made the first non
stop flight across the continent in
1923, under Lieuts. Kelly and Mac
Ready; the Chicago, Capt. Lowell
Smiths plane in the first round-the
world flight, which took place in 1924,
and the racing plane which won the
Schneider race Of 1925, developing a
speed of over $50 miles an hour.
The original BerIiner helcoptor of
1924, which portrays the present de-
velopment in machines for lifting
vertically, also forms part Of the
Smithsonian collection. In the air
plane engine exhibit there is the first
Liberty engine built, completed in II
days after a superhuman effort on
the part of designers and manufac-
turerS.
To the already imposing list OF
pioneering planes on exhibition at the
Smithsonian it is hoped that in time
such other world famous planes as
Col. Lindbergh's Spirit of st. Louis
will be added.
