Chief Of Air Service.

UTHILE waiting for my plane to
W depart from Pittsburgh's
municipal airport not long ago, I
was idling in the Office of Weather
man Lloyd Sykes. getting the latest
information on the weather ahead.
And while talking to Lloyd. it
struck me that the general term,
weather" means something en-
tirely different TO the man in the
air than to the man on the ground.
In the first place. the weather as
we knew it, is merely the ventila-
ton system of this planet and
weather changes come about by diff
ferences between certain masses Of
air in point of temperature. To I'M
derstand this better, one must re-
member that hot air rises and cold
air descends.
Another curious thought: For the
ground man. local weather is most
important. To the air man, local
weather is only incidental for he
won't be in that locality very long
he is more interested in what lies
ahead. Modern weather forecasts
are checked and all the data from
hundreds of weather observation
points throughout the United States
is centralized and then distributed
back to every interested point.
Perhaps you've been wondering
about those dust storms in the West.
Here's what has been happening:
Remembering that temperature
differences between masses of air
mean weather changes, the vast
quantity of dust in the atmosphere
during those storms has resulted in
lowering the temperature because
the heat of the suns rays has been
absorbed by the dust in air.
Only a small amount of heat can
get through to the earth, so that
the temperature below the dust
clouds is considerably lower. The
effect of cold air close to the
ground will be felt for great dis
tances. And that's why we have
been able to detect dust in the
air in Pittsburgh, New York, Phila-
delphia, Washington and other
Eastern cities.

COUNTY. GETS
26O PENSION
PETITIONS

EVANSVILLE. Md, Oct. 8.
Prince Georges county's pension
program will be inaugurated De-
cember /.
Already 1876 applications have
been filed with the welfare board.
Seventy-five more are expected be-
fore the deadline. Each applica-
ton is being studied to determine
if the applicants meet the terms
Of the State law. Many applica-
tions already have been diSap-
proved because of some ineligible
feature.
The pension program will not
increase the tax rate of the
county, 1t was indicated by Mrs.
J. Enos Ray, chairman of the vel
fare board, today, A part Of the
$4,000 now spent annually on
local relief may be diverted to
sustain the county's share Of the
pension program, it was said.
Some of the $4,000 is now spent
on cases eligible for pensions.
With the county supporting
only a third of the program, the
remainder financed by the State
and Federal governments, the
work will not materially affect
the tax rate. Funds necessary to
maintain the work between De-
cember / and the time Of the new
levy next year will be the only
added cost to Prince Georges.
Without any data on the
county's allotment by the State
and the extent of the county's
pension outlay, Mrs. Ray said it
is impossible now to say how
much of the county's emergency
fund will be required.
Mrs. Ray reiterated that many
applicants do not meet the State
requirements. Only those IS
years cf age or over, without rela-
tives to support them and with
out incomes. citizens of the
United States and without Grim
inal record are eligible.

WPAPAY SCALE
REGULATIONS
LIBERAL|zED
InternatIonaI News Service


New pay regulations for the
1000 million dollar work program
announced by the Works Progress
Administration give additional dis
cretionary powers to local WFA
officials, it was revealed today.
The regulations amend the "se-
curity" wage scales announced by
President Roosevelt last May un-
der which scales in four zones
were fixed arbitrarily for towns
of over 100000 population: for
towns between $4,000 and 100, 900:
between $4,000 and $4,000; be-
tween 5000 and $4,000, and under
1000;
The amendments authorize local
Works Progress representatives TO
fix wages for entire counties or
townships on the rate established
for their largest town. In q town
ship that has q town with o popu-
lation between 5000 and $4,000.
the rate for the entire county or
township may be set on that basis.
Thus, in Region III, comprising
the States of Arkansas. Kentucky,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and
Virginia, the maximum wage rate
for unskilled labor for towns un-
der 5000 was $21 q month. Now,
if a county has a town Of more
than 5000 population and less
than $4,000. the WPA may fix the
rate at $24 a month.
Another amendment authorizes
the Superv Using Governmental
agency on a project to deduct not
more than SIS a month for board
and lodging where workers receive
housing and meals. This applies
chiefly to tranSientS.

they haven't been really funny
as he told them to me. Then,
for lack of other material, I
have transferred them to print
and 10 and behold, using Mr..
Holz' identical words, with no
embellishments of my own, they
have become extremely funny.
Explain that if you will.
Jimmy Durante is very &C
ceptable as q companion. He Is
bOisterOus, he is naive, he Is
even cute. But he Is not at all
funny. Far from it-except on
the screen and stage, Of course.
Remember, 1 am only referring
from now on to how these gen.
tlemen impress me in nOn.pr0-
feSsional capacities.
On the other hand, Harry
Ritz can twist you into knots
over a cup of coffee at Lindy's
by merely rolling his eyes or tell
ing you some far-fetched yarn
which he illustrates with gro
tesque gestures.
Sir James Barrie once said
Or maybe he wrote it-that
he was quite content II lines
in his plays drew q quiet
chuckle and Goldsmith wrote
"The loud laugh that speaks
the vacant mind" but in this
show business Of OurS-and
that includes the radio, it's
the belly laugh that counts
the louder and longer, the
better. They pay off heavily
on laughs-and 50 all the
gentlemen / have mentioned
above, whether they draw q
columnist's rating as genuine
comedians or not, have head
aches around income tax time.
They are the nations clowns
and what a sorry time we
would have without them.
I salute them!

If you dropped me out OF q

So am by no means finding
fault, I am merely making
statements. And all this, mind
you, by way of a general pre-
lude to a painful conclusion I
have formed.
The professional comic gen.
tlemen are very dull people.
Nice, understand, but very dull
in private life. Some Of them,
1 claim as personal friends. 1
have been out with them,
supped with them, accepted
ties from them and given them
ties in return. But I've gotten
nothing from them in the way
of o sparkIe-just q fragment
of q sparkle-SOmething to iven
up my evening, perhaps to give
me one single inspiratiOnal
thought. In turn, it is probably
true, I have given them no
sparkle either but that's beside
the point.
