AIR FUSS
STARTLESG CITY

Housewives living near the
Anacostia parkway between the
Pennsylvania Ave and Eleventh
st. bridges were startled yester-
day morning to see and hear
airplanes diving almost to the
tree tops and apparently firing
viciously on a column Of infantry
moving through the park.
But the cartridges were blank
and the troops were a battalion
of infantry from F.. Washington,
Md, getting practice in repelling
or dodging air attacks. And the
only thing destroyed was the
peace and quiet Of the morning.
In this imitation Of modern
warfare, planes sent out at ir.
regular intervals from Boiling
Field dove down close to earth
forcing the troops to take shelter
under the trees in the parkway.
Housewives called police and Boil
ing Field urging that the troops
and planes do their hiding and
diving elsewhere.

Drought Until December
Feared By Md. Expert

Ivember, Weeks pointed out that
this month and next are usually
the dryest of the year in Mary
land.
Rainfall since the first Of the
month has been too slight to
measure, Mr.. Weeks said, adding
that only 1910 inches has fallen
since the first Of the year, the
total deficiency for the period
being 15.4 inches and for the
month to date 1.12 inches.
Because Of the probable pro-
longation Of the drought, Weeks
said, further reduction in ground
water supply, accompanied by the
surrender of more wells and
streams to the dry spell, is to
be expected.
Reporting that the city's Stor-
age lake at Loeb Raven was ap-
proximately nine feet below nor
NAL, Edward G. Rost, Water
engineer, said he hoped rain
would come before the ground
freezes. Otherwise the water
will run off and do little good,
he asserted.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 15.--Predictr
ing that the drought which is
now in its one hundred and elev.
enth day may continue through
November, John r. Weeks, local
meteorologist, has shattered the
hope entertained by many that
an early and long winter season
would succeed the hot dry sum-
mer.
weeks asserted q careful study
of weather of the last 113 years
had convinced him that no one
can tell by q hot summer what
will happen when winter comes.
Those months, after a summer Of
rocEeting temperatures, may be
either colder or warmer than us
ual, he said. He added:
eff, however, o summer, like
the last, has had an unusual
number of days when the
mercury rose into the nine
ties, there is a probability
that the following winter will
have more than it's share Of
days when the temperature
falls below the freezing point.
Even so, the average tempera-
ture for the winter may be
either above or below normal"
AS basis for his belief that the
dry spell will linger through No.
