asserted in an interview.
Before explaining his new prin-
ciple, Maxwell spread out a blue
print containing II weather dia-
grams.
Last August. he said. he knew there
would be a major storm in the
northeastern United States in mid
November. In October he made l.
charts Of the storms course. and
placed a blue print of the storm in
the hands Of navy weather men and
his friends. II called for a start on
Nov. IL, and on that date he began
driving eastward from Chicago. 1t

At Niagara Falls on Nov. Is he
noted how heavy winds had blown
back the water Of Lake Erie, drying
up the Falls. Then he hit IN ice storm

to the Atlantic coast in New Eng
land and drove southwark along
the coast as heavy gales swept the
Seaboard last weekend. thus con-
firming the charted course he had
predicted.
1T was interesting to note the diff
ferent manifestations of the same
storm at various points" he said.
The wind on Lake Erie. the ice sheet
in New York state and the Atlantic
gales were ali from the same source,
a cold mass Of air from over Green
land"
His new principle is based on the
fact that the relative motions of the
earth. moon and sun are irregular,
resulting in a slight molten OF the

water will Slosh out Of a pan if the

Maxwell computed the relative
changes Of the magnetic fields of the
earth, moon and sun. which form
an astronomical triangle Of contin-
ually variable shape. From this he
knows the variation in the earth'S
motion. and hence the later varia-
tons in atmospheric masses, max

To the Voters of
BROWNSVILLE,
TEXAS:

Members Of the Administration ticket
feel that the success Of the Brownsville
Port depends upon keeping the manage
ment Of the port in the hands Of business
men and entirely out Of political faction
alism.
We believe that its Commissioners
should be representative business men
and taxpayers, chosen without regard to
their political affiliations, who have in no
way obligated themselves to any political
faction, either of the Cit of Brownsville
or of the County of Cameron.
Experience Of other ports and other
navigation districts has conclusively
proven that a port cannot be the success
we all believe the Brownsville port VIII
be, if it is made the football Of o%ontending
political factions.
Feeling as we do, we hereby pledge
ourselves that, if elected as mayor and
commissioners of Brownsville, we will
take no official or factional part in the
selection or election Of any candidates for
Navigation Commissioners, and will in no
way attempt to use either our official posi-
ton or our positions as leaders Of any
political faction in such selection or cleo
ton.
The Brownsville Port is too great a
thing, too close to the hearts of every resi-
dent of this section, to be hampered and
hindered by political factionalism and
political activity.

Fahnestock Divorce
Fight Here Recalled

The battle between Mrs. Fahne-
stock and Colonel FahneStock for
the custody of their children,
Mary Lee, z, and Clara, 8, opened
in District Supreme Court here
last January when Mrs. Fahne-
stock charged her husband had
kidnapped" the children and held
them prisoner" in the marble
home of his mother at 2311 Mas
sachusetts Ave. N. w.
Colonel FahneStock boarded a
train bound for New York from
South Carolina and took the chill
dren to his mothers home. They
were being taken by a governess
to see their mother in Ne wYork.
It was at this time Mrs. Fahne-
stock filed suit for divorce. Her
husband entered a countersuit in
Newport, r. I.
Last month Colonel Fahnestock
was awarded a divorce. Prior to
that he had been given custody Of
the children by Justice F. Dickin-
son Let's in District Supreme
Court.
While the husband held the
children in his mothers home
here Mrs. FahneStock besieged the
residence for two days before she
was able to obtain a court man
date allowing her to visit the chill
dren.
The Fahnestocks were married
in 1925 and separated about a
year ago. In his suit for divorce,
Colonel Fahnestock charged his
wife had become infatuated with
another man"
Although we'll known in Wash
ington, the FahnestockS did not
maintain a house here. When in
the Capital Colonel FahneStocE
made his home with his mother
on Massachusetts, Avenue. On her
most recent trips here Mrs
Fahnestock lived at hotel.
