in high latitudes, the weather con-
ditions in general oscillate oppositely
to those over the cold land areas in
high latitudes and the cool water
areas of lower latitudes. These latter
regions also are regions of low vapor
pressure.
"The centers Of action are not
stationary, but tend to shift positions,
oscillating to and fro over wide areas
so that any given place on the earth's
surface may be at one time within
the influence of a field of action of
one kind and at another time under
the influence of a field of action of
opposite kind.
Disconcerting TO Research.
''This shifting has been one Of the
most disconcerting and discouraging
facts confronting research workers in
meteorology. A high relationship be-
tween different regions has been found
and then suddenly the relationship
reversed. A reason for these changes
now is offered for the first time as
due to changing solar activity. The
annual means of pressure in these
centers of activity follow in a general
way the changes in annual values of
sun spots.
Regions Of high vapor content in
the tropical regions of the earth are
strongly affected by changes of solar
radiation, presumably by the absorp-
ton of the incoming heat rays by
the water vapor in the air. The air

trend in the cold areas of high lati-
tudes, indicating a gradually decreas-
ing pressure gradient between high
latitudes and the Equator and an
amelioration Of the earth's climate.
I'm all latitudes, changes in pres
sure, temperature and rainfall are
most intense in certain areas which
have been called 'centers of action
In the equatorial regions the centers
of action are over the Indian Ocean
and over the equatorial Atlantic be-
tween the Gold Coast of Africa and
the Amazon River. In higher lati-
tudes there are centers of action in
the North Atlantic and North Pacific
in which the pressure and rainfall
change in the same way as In the
equatorial centers of action.
Opposite Behaving Centers.
"Oppositely behaving centers Of
action are found over the cold lands
Of high latitude such as Iceland,
Northern Canada and Northwestern
Siberia and over the cool waters of
the middle ATTITUDES such as the
Pacific Ocean west of Lower California
and west of Chile and in the Atlantic
Ocean west of Northern Africa. When
the pressure and rainfall are in ex-
cess in this latter group Of centers
of action they are in defect in the
equatorial and oceanic centers.
These centers of action are related
in a general way to such ma jor
features of the earth's surface as the
polar regions, the equatorial regions
and the distribution of land and
water. Within regions of warm water
and of high vapor content in the
equatorial regions, and over the oceans

is shifted from an equatorial line to
polar line-with the result that it
becomes cooler. The general effect,
in fact, is to make the earth cooler
because, he demonstrates, the ten
dency of hotter sun is to shift
northward the northern high pressure
areas and increase their intensity
so that they have more of push in
sending cold air southwark At the
same time the contrary push of the
northward moving warm air is weak
ened.
Mr.. Clayton leaves for meteorolog
ical research the great, but probably
highly fruitful, task of mapping with
more exactness the centers and their
adjacent fields of action and of de-
termning more fully the nature and
extent of their shifts of position with
solar radiation changes.
Explanation Of Findings.
Mr. Clayton explains his findings. in
part, as follows:
There is something common in
the weather in widely separated parts
Of the earth. Changes in rainfall in
Central North America show a SINH
larity to changes in Central South
America. Changes in pressure in the
Indian Ocean show similarities to
changes of temperature on the coast
of Chile. Annual pressure means in
San Diego vary in the same way as in
Buenos Aires and pressures in Ceylon
vary inversely as those in Santiago,
Chile.
1T is suggested that these common
features are brought about by changes
in the intensity of the earth's atmos-
phere. In confirmation of this view
it is show that there are periods last
ing for several years when the pres
sure gradient between the equatorial
region and the colder regions in high
ATTITUDES becomes greater than normal
and succeeding years when it becomes
less than normal. This simultaneous
change in the pressure gradient north
and south of the Equator indicates
widespread oscillations in the circu-
lation of the earth's atmosphere.
For the last AZ years there has
been an upward trend of pressure in
Evening star., 1934-06-12

therein becomes warmer, increases In
volume per unit mass, and its pressure
falls, attended by an increase in rain
fall. simultaneously there are centers
of action in high latitudes where .op-
posite relationships are evident These
centers Of action all sway back and
forth under the influence of changing
intensity of solar radiation and chang
ing position Of the sun with the
season.
when solar radiation increases the
centers of action in high ATTITUDES
move further north and increase in
intensity The pressure over cold
regions in these ATTITUDES becomes
abnormally high and the temperature
falls, while simultaneously the belts
of low pressure in equatorial regions
widen and develop centeis OF low
pressure in middle latitudes. These
changes in pressure are attended by
winds which markedly influence the
temperatures in high ATTITUDES"

Shifting of Centers.

Now, after years of research, Mr..
Clayton is able to demonstrate that the
trouble has been due to the fact that
the centers shift, and with them the
territories whose weather they control.
This year the Middle Atlantic States
may be part of the area of one field
of action. Next year the center may
have shifted so that it no longer exer-
ciSeS control. while another center
has moved into a position where it can
take over the banadoned territory.
Mr. Clayton's second essential con-
tribution is the fact that the shifts
are dependent on variations in the
solar radiation. When the sun gets
hotter it may disturb the pressure
equilibrium so that a given territory

Weather radiates from certain "cen-
ters" on the earth's surface.
The centers shift from time to time
in accordance with variations in the
heat radiation of the sun.
These two findings, dealing with
the fundamental mechanics" of
weather phenomena and probably of
far-reaching significance in meteoro-
logical science, have just been an
nounced by H. Helm Clayton. asso-
ciate of the Astrophysical Observatory
of the Smithsonian Institution.
Mr. Clayton not only has succeeded
in clearing up some paradoxes which
have bothered meteorologists for a
generation. but may have brought
substantially nearer the day of long
range weather forecasting.
The earth derives all its heat from
the radiation of the sun. On this
basis. presumably, the hotter the sun
the hotter the earth This undoubt-
edly would be true if the earth were
without water or atmosphere, like the
moon. But actually when the suns
heat radiation increases, as at sun
spot maximum period, some parts of
the earth are cooler In fact, some
statistical calculations have purported
10 show that the hotter the sun the
lower the mean temperature the world
over. but these are probably in error,
due to lack of accurate records.
Source Of Air Important.
This is not so paradoxical as it
might seem. The temperature of a
given spot at a given time does not
depend directly on the suns radiation
but upon where the air is coming
from Weather depends on the op-
posing movements of high pressure
and low pressure areas The weather
of given spot at given time de-
pendS upon its location with respect
to these moving areas.
Mr.. Clayton, analyzing the weather
map of the world as compiled in the
Smithsonian World Weather Records,
succeeds in locating certain areas
where changes in pressure, tempera-
ture and rainfall are most intense
In these areas the highs and the lows
are started moving. They are like big
meteorological railroad functions from
which are dispatched the trains carry
ing hot air and cold air, rain and
fair weather, for the adjacent terri
tories.
The existence of such "centers of
action" as Mr.. Clayton calls them,
have been suspected for a long time.
If they could be proved to exist. me
teorologists have long felt, they would
afford an invaluable empirical basis
for weather forecasting. Unfor-

Stage HeadIiner
at Earle

In Gambling Lady," now on
the Earle screen, you can see a
Barbara Stanwyck vehicle far
superior to any Of her last pic
lures.
Miss Stanwyck has at last got
ten away from those tough gal''
roles. This film gives her a chance
to be feminine and incidentally
prove that her knowledge Of act
ing wasn't lost.
AS the title suggests, the central
figure is a girl schooled in the art
of cards and gaming tables. She
relies on lunches, is never dis
honest. Meeting a young-man-
about-town while working for a
Syndicate" she falls in love,
marries him.
An old flame turns up, and tries
to humiliate the young wife.
Murder is committed, her husband
suspected. To free him, the girl
agrees to secure a divorce in re-
turn for her rivals supplying an
alibi. The trick is discovered, the
couple reunited. And thus ends
an entertaining sixty minutes OF
fast melodrama interSperSed with
comedy.
Star Outstanding
Barbara Stanwyck delivers a
really excellent performance. Her
role is far and away the most i'm
portant, so to her should go the
credit for the diverting qualities
of Gambling Lady" Truth to
tell, the theme is a familiar one,
but so tricked up, so cleverly di-
rected by Archie Mayo that you
don't realize it.
Joel McCrea plays the husband
and reveals a hitherto hidden
sense of comedy. Pat O'Brien has
a few opportunities, to register,
and does. C. Aubrey Smith offers
a sterling characterization and
Claire Dodd serves as the "other
woman"
On the stage is Ozzie Nelson
and his orchestra. When this
young maestro appeared yester-
day, several young ladies were
heard to utter expressive sighs.
It seems to be the way he affects
'em. Assisted by the very lovely
singer, Harriet Hilliard, he pre-
sents a program of popular song
hits, diversified and well arranged.
Ozzie Nelson Sings
The Three wizards sing in
harmony, and Ozzie himself chi

lad, ''We're Through" seemed to
register most highly with yester-

Better routining might enhance

after the final curtain yesterday
testified to the orchestra's popu-
larity.

reaches up in a tree, casual-like,
and grabs down a leopard or two.
wild Cargo" is plenty wild, no
mistakes about that, and those
who want their thrills white-hot
ought to get fair quota out of
the battle with a hooded cobra.
That cobra in Bombay Mail"
was just a curtain-raiser for this
one.
But it isn't all thrills and chills,
for the honey bears, cute crea-
lures that they are, are comedians
of the wilds, and an episode in
this picture shows just how. One
of the big punches, however,
comes in the capture of a herd
of elephants, thanks largely to
the cooperation of decoys.
In addition to the feature, up
