CLOUDS TO AID FLYERS
SHOWING WIND VELOCITY
Weather Bureau Develops Gauge
to Determine Atmospheric
Conditions.

~ the Associated Press.
Clouds have been put to a new use by
the Weather Bureaeu as wind gauges
for aviators.
A cloud travels with the wind and
makes visible the speed of the wind at
Q certain altitude. The bureau has
devised an apparatus by which OBJ
servers can determine clouds speed.
They sight the clouds In black mirror
mounted in a frame graduated by de-
grees. One factor for computation Is
obtained by observing the image Of
cloud as reflected by the mirror for
period of time.
The second factor needed is the
clouds distance above the earth. To
obtain this a standard ceiling" balloon
is sent up. BY timing 1t, 1t Is possible
to estimate the distance
The observer then computes with
these two factors the rate at which the
cloud is moving and whether the pilot
will encounter a headwind or tail
wind The bureau said 1t Is possible
frequently to tell the flyer he will find
favorable winds at a certain altitude,
but less favorable conditions at other
attitudes.

preserve them for their

Fire that was spread by a high
wind early Saturday destroyed two
stores, an ice cream plant, two
dwellings and a garage at Green
wood. The loss is estimated at
about $4,000. Half Of the COM
munity's small business section
was wiped out by the flames. The
fire, of unknown origin, was dis
covered at 2.30 a. M III the rear
of the general store owned by Lew
is Gorsetman, Neighbors, aroused
by the cracking of flames, hastily
summoned firemen. They were un-
able to save the building, however
Gorsetman estimated the loss to
his building and its contents as
$4,000. West of the store stood
an ice cream plant owned by w. S.
Cook. This building, together with
all its equipment, was soon in
flames and, like Goretman's store,
was burned to the ground. The
loss is said to have been $1,000.
Meanwhile, fire companies from
Milford, Bridgeville and Harring-
ton had ben summoned, but the
firemen, soon after their arrival,
found that Greenwood's water sup
ply had been pumped dry Penn

then appealed to and special
train, made up of tank cars, was
rushed there from Harrington car
rying water. Greenwood is on the
Pennsylvania's main line between
Wilmington and Norfolk The
after ravishing the ice
cream plant, quickly spread to the
general store of George Hanks. An
adjacent dwelling nearby, owned
by Hanks, was also destroyed A
stiff wind carried the flames to
William Carey's garage, a sheet
iron structure, which likewise was
leveled. Four automobiles, stored
in the building, were destroyed and
it is: said that the total loss was
$4,000 Fearing that the home Of
Mrs. Ella Webb, a two and a half
story frame STRUCTURE, would be
burned lso, neighbors worked fran
tically to remove some of the
Woman's furniture and household
effects. Although they succeeded,
they were powerless to save the
and this was likewise de-
stroyed, the loss being estimated
by Mrs. Webb as several thousand
dollars. When the flames had lev
eled the homes of Hanks and Mrs.
Webb, in addition to Hanks store,
the fire was brought under control.
Firemen continued to pour water
on the smOuldering ruins all morn
ing however. The first indication
of disastrous fire came when neigh
oors were aroused by the crack
ling of flames in Gorsetman's store.
Edward Bets, a constable, said he
passed by the building at a. m.
and that there was then no indica-
ton of a fire. Greenwood, which
has population of but 500, is To-
