HERE 1T IS-Here signals from
the radiosonde are being recorded
,Uith special equipment aboard the
cutter.
In recent years, however, much
of the guess-work has been taken
away. With the rise of aviation,
the general interest in upper air
conditions has increased and air
craft have made it possible to OBJ
tain upper air observations more
frequently and in more localities
than formerly with sounding bal
looms and kites. The radiosonde, a
miniature broadcasting station with
parachute attachment which
weighs less than two pounds, has
come into quite general use for the
recording of pressure, temperature
and humidity in the upper atmos-
phere. This robot weather observer
is sent aloft attached to a carrier
balloon from the decks of floating
weather bureau stations on two
coast guard cutters in nid-Atlantic
and from the grounds of six airports
in the country. The radiosonde sends
back signals which give the tenn
perature, air pressure and humidi-
ty at all heights reached by the
balloon.

gan only recently, are of great value

out, is Selling" The breeder starts
with good ear from some stand
ard, productive variety. After plant
ing, he covers the shoots with a
paper bag before the silks are ex-
posed. When the tassels start to
shed their pollen, the silks are
carefully fortified and then kept
covered so that no other pollen can
reach them.
Result Is Amazing.
Next step is to cross these in
breds. The result of this "single
cross" is startling. For some rea-
son that science cannot yet explain,
the offspring of these runty inbreds
is an amazingly strong, vigorous
and large plant.
Then the breeder takes two single
crosses which tests have proved to
be good and crosses them. This
double cross" is combination of
four inbred parents. Again the tedi-
Gus process of trial and error is re-
peated until the breeder finally gets
a combination that includes high
yielding ability, strong roots, stiff
stalks and a high quality ear with a
mysterious vigor that results from

Now the standard parts are avail
able for marketing to the farmer as
commercial hybrid seed. Mass pro-
duction is the next step.
Fertilization Important.
One of the important results of the
switch to hybrid is the change it
has wrought in the attitude of many
farmers toward fertilization. Stats
ticians have figured out that SO BUSH
els of corn (not a remarkably high
yield as hybrids go) removes about
rs pounds of nitrogen from the soil.
1t takes out about 81 pounds of phos-
phorus and about Al pounds of pot
ash. Bigger yields naturally make
even greater demands on the soils

Thus, remarkable as hybrid seed
is, it has to be accompanied by a
well-rounded program of soil man.

results, in the form of high produc-
ton, are to be maintained. Only
then is there satisfactory replace
ment of the essential plant food ele-
ments which hybrid corn removes
from the soil.

II AVE you ever tried placing
= = your davenport on the side of
the room where there was a single
window? You probably found that
it did not look well, because the
back was just high enough to give
the draperies an awkward cutoff
appearance, as shown in the upper
sketch. The lower sketch shows
how a friend of mine solved this
problem, and changed her living
room that had seemed hopeless,
into an attractive, cheerful place.
There are no windows under
those lowered blinds. A painted
box-like cornice board was made
about 2 feet longer than the dav-
export and was fastened to the
top of the frame of the one win

Football Without Ball

The only place in the world
where football is played seriously
without a ball is the Caroline
group of the South Pacific islands.
There are II men on side, and
they assume the orthodox posi-
tons. As there is no ball, the
players merely hop on one leg
until they come up against their
opposite numbers. Then each
player places the sole of his free
foot against the sole of an oppo-
nent's foot, and pushes. The man
who falls is out of the game.
Though one would imagine that
such matches would be over in
Jew minutes, they last for hours,
tor the players are remarkably
skillful in keeping their balance.
When all the players of one side
are eliminated, the other wins.

Navy Man Plotted Plane
In First u. S. Air Flight

NORFOLK, VA.-Capt. Patrick N.
L. Bellinger, commanding officer of
the United States naval air station
here, piloted the first airplane struck
by bullets in combat.
While flying over Vera Cruz dur
ing the Mexican trouble in 1914, Bel
fingers Curtiss seaplane was hit by
bullets fired by ground troops.
Bellinger also is believed to be
the first aviator to attack enemy
soldiers from the air.
The incident involving his plane
when he first was shot at is men
toned in recently published book,
''Navy Men," by James Connolly,
an old shipmate of Bellinger.
It was not until Bellinger had
landed that he realized what a
close call he had. Examination of
the ship revealed three holes, bored
by bullets in the fuselage.
The purpose of Bellinger's hops
over Mexico were for observation.
Flying plane in those days was
tough job. The seaplane he flew
had a speed of go miles an hour and
its ceiling was about 1000 feet. !,

Scandinavian Desk.
One of the busiest men in the state
department is the expert who fol-
lows the tragic fate of Finland, Nor
way, Denmark and Sweden.
He is Hugh Cumming Jr., son of
the former surgeon general of the
United States, and one of Secretary
Hull's ADLER assistants.
The state departments system of
keeping in touch is to divide the
world into different areas, assign
ing an expert to study each area.
Thus there is the European division,
the Far Eastern division, the Latin
American division, and SO on.
Cumming has charge of the Scan
dinavian desk in the European divi-
sion, and last summer was far
sighted enough to take trip through
these countries. It was the last
time he could have found their terri
tory intact.
The minute Cumming came back
from his Scandinavian tour, things
began to break. His desk shows it.
So do the maps strewn over his
tables.

He has about as much information

says he ''has a temperature" and
wants the good doctor to tell him
whether he has measles or menin-

agnosis must be based to a large
extent upon the surface weather

When Robbers Return

Two holdup men who robbed q
liquor store at 311 H street NV
about midnight last night, one OF
whom was fired upon twice by the
store proprietor, were sought by
police today.
Charles Weinstein, the store
owner, said the men entered as he
was closing for the night, took $45
from a counter and cash register
and left, overlooking a second cash
register. When one of the robbers
returned to the front door a few
seconds later, apparently to look
into the register they forgot, Mr.
Weinstein shot at him twice, one of
the bullets breaking a lock on the
door. Mr.. Weinstein said the other
shot might have wounded the
bandit.
The store owner said this was
the fourth time he had been robbed
in the past four years.
