For long-range forecasting, you think
of weather as something that flows.
Literally weather does just that, being
cop,poced 0f streams OF air
Persistence of flow, which you would
recognize as perhaps an annoyingly
long length of time for one kind Of
weather to last, is an interesting sign.
You can take a chance, as a beginner,
in using this flow in late winter and
again near the end of June.
Persistent cold, for example, in Janu-
ary, is likely to be followed by a cool
February. Persistent dryness at that
season, and again near the end Of June,
means the possibility of continued dry
ness the next month.
When you can sense the persistence
OF flow you are up among the high cards
in weather forecasting-in fact, in the
region of that science which Is only
recently coming within the grasp Of
scientists.

ment will tell much about the local
weather if watched until you know it
responds to local conditions.
In winter, for example, rising ba-
rometer in clear weather is likely to be
followed by cloudy weather when the
barometer falls. This may be reversed
in summer. Localities may differ, too.
This glass was used by your fore
fathers-and without weather forecasts,
less than century ago, they did very
well at predicting. Perhaps you have
inherited the ability.

Britain's Army Chief
Is a Fighting Brooke
BY Russell LandStrom,
Wide World News,

LONDON.-"You know" said one long
familiar with the mettle of Sir Alan
Francis Brooke, He used to smoke 40
or more cigarettes day, besides several
pipes Of tobacco. Then he gave 1t up
Just like that"
That" was a finger swapping gesture
signifying that both vocabulary and
imagination had failed in the presence
OF staggering fact.
This decision, the admiring informant
continued, is sample Of the determined
qualities of the new chief of the imperial
general staff-highest service chief of all
the empires armed forces.
Sir Alan Brooke strikes most persons
as suiting the part.
His face observed mostly in military
tnf1exibiltty, and his manner that of one
who insists upon obedience, competence
and elf-denial among his Subordinates,
he matches the customary descriptions
Of an uncompromising commander.
If Hollywood ever were to film his BIZ
ography, the man for the role would be
Basil Rathbone-at his reticent best.
This angularity of disciplinarian has
inclined many to consider him a marti-
net in whose nature human warmth
had little If any place.
Such an appraisal Of the 58-year-old
chief Is heatedly challenged by his inti-
mates, who say that behind the dwell
ing upon form, the cold eyes, the close
clipped mustache and the lines of de-
termination in his face, there are an
unassuming manner, reserves of good
fellowship, bright sense of hunor, and
more than few traits identifying him
with . humanity known for its weak
nesses and whimseys.
He's devoted to photography and Is
extremely fond Of chocolate candy.
He's an ardent sportsman, reputedly
one Of the 10 best shots in Great Britain,
and q fisherman Of the Izaak Walton
school.
He's known in the service as brilliant
teacher, with . liking for free discus
sion, both in and out Of the army.
He has an inventive turn Of mind.
Hes human, all right, but he's not
soft or slack" his close friends assert.
when he has job to do-no matter
what-he does it thoroughly, and he ex-
poets others to do the same"
Several stories are told about his detes-
tation Of sloppy habits. A favorite one
dates from the First World War when
he was inspecting q base hospital which
he found pretty much abandoned to dirt.

Here's How to Be Your Own Weather Prophet

There are 13 signs in the sky that will
: help you be your own weather forecaster.
They will tell you more than the
United States weather forecasters are
permitted to say under the war rules.
There also are some other signs. These
you may not be able to see, but you
can feel them sometimes, or sense them
by knowing what to look for.
You can even do some long range
about certain seasonal weather combina-
tions.
AL are we'll verified by science. They
come from the observed experiences of
members of the American Meteorological
Society.
Like all rules, they can't be followed
out OF a window. This means they apply
in particular ways in different localities,
and you must watch them to know how
to fit them to your local area.
The sky signs involve sun, moon and
clouds.
Rings around the Cd sun or co moon
forecast storms, usually in a large part
but not all of the United States. In
the Eastern States, in winter, the rings
8 times out of 10 forecast a storm
within "a hours.
: In summer they do not forecast
storm so often. Watch then to see If
there has just been a storm, for they
may appear after storms.
In Florida, for example, the rings do
not apply. There they are apt to follow
storms. The explanation is that these
rings are formed by the light shining
through regions of fine, floating ice
crystals. In summer and in warm cli-
mates, the ice is less frequent, and apt
to form after the cooling effects of
storm rather than before.
3. A red sky in the morning, contrary
to the red sunset sky, is likely to be
sign of rain soon. The sky is red as
the sun rises because of considerable
moisture in the air. The moisture is
likely to precipitate.
4. The red sunset, almost universally
accepted folk-sign Of fair weather to-
morrow, is really a good fair-weather
indicator. This sunset red also comes
from moisture in the air.
But at evening this does not forecast
? rain because of the probability that the
GOODNESS Of night will remove some of
the moisture in the form of dew.
However, red sunsets sometimes FORE
tell stormy weather. This happens when
there has been succession of clear
summer days, with no dew.
: Now, the clouds:
5. Sheet clouds (also stratus. They
: are, at first, very high. They look ike
either a veil, or q curtain covering the
sky. They start at about 10000 feet.
Then they drop, and this falling must be
watched for. The descent may cover

For this hair trouble goes back five
centuries to one Of the worlds famous
weather forecasting discoveries. Nicho-
las, Cardinal da Cusa, found that by
weighing a ball of wool yarn he could
do some surprising Cat that time) FORE
casting.
The wool changed its weight according
to the amount of moisture in the air,
absorbing enough to change the weight
on a delicate scales.
Human hair is a better absorber, and
women's hair, on account of its length,
snarls and becomes unruly from excess
moisture in the air.
Predicting weather from womens hair
is a matter of skill and experience. It
has varying meanings. In climate like
Florida's summer, which appears in many
parts of the United States In warm
weather, the moisture is fair indicator
Of . storm ahead.

18 to "a hours. They get down to 1000
or 5000 feet. When the sheet clouds
start coming down, you can get ready
for a storm.
Furthermore you can make a guess
that the weather will become warmer,
not Immediately but few hours after
the storm starts The reason is that the
sheet clouds and their drop indicate the
approach of a warm 'front.' the scientific
name for mass Of warm air.
6. Castle shaped clouds (alto-cumulus-
castellatus). These are flat-faced, with
castle-like turretS Seen in the morning,
they are good signs of impending thunder
showers.
7. Lens-shaped clouds 0enticular).
These are thicker in the middle, fiat
tened at both ends. They may be in
