TABLE OF WIND SPEEDS.

Everyone has wondered at some time approxi- mately how fast the wind was moving. If you car feel it on the face, is it blowing a mile an hour ten twenty? When it blows down trees it is blowing forty, fifty seventyfive miles hourf In answer to many inquiries the United States Weather Bureau has devised a rough and ready guide to wind velocites, that anyone can use given in the table below:
 l mile an hour-Smoke rises vertically.
 to miles an hour-Causes smoke to drift, but will not stir weather vane
 to miles hour-Can be felt on face, moves weather vane, rustles leaves on trees.
 8 to 12 miles an hour-Keeps leaves in constant motion 13 to Is miles hour-Moderate wind, raises dust, small branches.
 19 to 24 miles an hour-Smal leafy trees sway gently, tiny waves on inland waters.
 25 to 31 miles hour-Moves large branches, whistles in telephone wires, makes it difficult to hold umbrella open.
 32 to 38 miles an hour-Sets whole trees in motion, is difficult to walk against
 39 to 54 miles hour-Is gale" which at 46 miles hour breaks twigs trees when stronger structural dam age, blowing off loose shingles.
 55 to 75 miles hour-Is a whole gale" uprootng trees and causing major structural damage.
 Inland gales, the Bureau reports, greater thar 75 miles hour seldom experienced except under tornado conditions

 Judith returned to the table, eyes wide with anxiety. If oil was found on Scathborne's property, she feared for the Rio Diablo dam.
 Max, I've got to get word to Cunard."
 nIL was the one thing that could V stampede the dam workers; the one thing Judith feared. Had Scath- borne actually found definite trace of oil, or was this just another of Lampere's ideas to destroy the har- mony in Big Tom Town?
 Still at the table, she confided to Max what had happened and he, sensitive to her foresight, agreed that Cunard should be notified at once so that he, as an oil man, might investigate.
 "We might go down to the train and see if they're telling the truth. suggested Larson, and hurrying through their meal, they proceeded to the camp depot.
