It is inevitable, however, he said,
that a small proportion OF these
tempests will descend on populated
portions of the globe, leaving be-

These storms, known technically
as tropical cyclones, arise in the
doldrum areas near the equator. In
these districts. air lies still and hot
until approached by cold wind.
Then the hot air rises rapidly while
the cold rushes to replace it.
Thus a tremendous wind IS Gre

storms usually cut swath not less

furore might be settled more or less

Specifically, the test is over
whether the Hoosier Democratic

per cent from state employees and
let Bowman Elder handle the

Having Endorsed the scheme orig

it should continue.

Mr.. Peters offered strong objec-

which resulted in the special meet

that 2 per cent is too much
and suggested a reduced levy of
per cent, to cease when party debts
are paid. He also would GUST Elder
