"T'oo Cold to Snow" an
Old Saving but Not True

The majority of more or less
heavy SHOWS occur in connection
with a general cyclonic STORM. e.,
a travelling atmospheric disturb
ance, usually several hundred
miles across, in which the baromet-
ric pressure is relatively low and in
which the winds Tin the northern
hemisphere circulate in a counter
clockwise direction around the cen.
ter; the storm moves from a wester-
ly toward an easterly direction, and
the snow falls in the forward por-
ton of the storm where the winds
are from southerly or easterly di-
rections and are therefore relatively
mild. AS the storm passes, the
winds change to northwesterly and
hence are relatively cold; that is
precipitation comes with relatively
warm eaSterly or southerly winds,
and clear weather follows with rel
atively cold northWesterly winds. If,
then, the winter wind is from the
northwest, it is cold, and at the
same time the wrong direction Gin
the wrong part of the storm area)
to give snow, says the United States
weather bureau.
This, presumably, is the origin Of
the saying, ''It is too cold to sncw."
This statement, however, is not lit
orally true, because light SHOWS can
and do occur at any temperature
whatever below freezing, and it oc-
casionally happens that heavy
SHOWS occur when the surface air
is quite cold.

it undying glory. Nor was it confined
to the Cuban conflict. It provided
martial inspiration for American
troops in the Boxer Rebellion, where
its words were changed to "A Hot

British Tommies in the Boer War,
who substituted "Transvaal" for
"China." Later, as if to demonstrate

Salt Long In Use

The story of salt is so closely al

two thousand years ago the
Egyptians used it to preserve their

CONQUERED the World

The song conquered the world.
It was known and shouted and
whistled in every crossroads of
America. Then the fires died down,
only to blaze again when Theodore
Roosevelt and his impassioned CO.
horts, in need of a spirited march
ing tune, which would symbolic
their zeal and vigor, made it the
theme song of the Bull Moose con-
vention in Chicago in 1912. It was
again revived in the World War,
the doughboys changing the first
line of the chorus to when you see
our Yankee fightin' line"
The song is thus indelibly woven
with the history of America, is a
beloved part of musical folklore.

The deeds that I do for others
Live on through eternity.
When others burdens we tighten,
Or our fellow mans pain we ease,
Our lives will forever be frightened,
For we know that God is pleased.
The freedom that we give to others,
And the load that we help to bear,
We do it not for glory sake,
But because of the burdens we share.

Oh! God I pray that it may be
