tionally dry since the first Of Janu-
arv.
Weather records indicate the
fact. Other parts Of the Valley
have not been so dry.
The first four to five months OF
the year are always dry, but this
year. reports Meteorologist Schnu--
busch OF the Brownsville weather
station. the moisture Is four inches
below normal.
Rainfall in January was 46 inch;
in February. .27 inch; in March .26
inch. and in April, .38 inch.
The rainfall early Tuesday
amounted to 80 inch. giving total
OF 2.26 inches since January. when
there should have been about six
inches.
MARVELLOUS is radio science.
An airplane leaves Brownsville
for Mexico City.
1t Is equipped with radio.
This enables IL to connect with
station NAY. the United States
naval radio station in Brownsville.
Thereafter. on its 285-minute
flight to Mexico City it may. II u
wishes. keep In constant touch with
the station here.
It is another step TO promote
safety in air travel.
And which brings one to wonder
whether the airplane voyages be-
tween Brownsville and Mexico City
couldn't in some way function to
supplement weather information
here.
The United States weather sta
ton here has no weather dope"
on the country to the south. Per-
i1aps this could be supplied through
arrangement with the aviation
companies.
