delicate meteorological instruments

weather.
Neither guessWork nor supersti-

throbbing toe or misery in the
bones presaged milder weather and
rain. explained Harold Bernard
Ward, Northwestern University geol-
ogist.
Increased humidity and decreased
air pressure cause your corns and
bones to hurt Mr.. Ward said. land
those pains, therefore, are a per-
fectly good indication of immedi-

Generally, however, he said, mod
ern man knows little about weather
lore, because he is almost COM
pletely shielded from his environ
ment. He continued:
Among the earliest forecasters
were shepherds, who had picked up
authentic knowledge of the subject
through observation, which is, after
all, the finest way to determine
weather phenomena"
Most weather forecasting proverbs,
Mr.. Ward asserted, were fallacies.

The Hatch bill to outlaw per

it curb on patronage politics in
