time TO timey that these changes can be foretold.
The everyday weather forecaster doesn't
bother much with variations in solar energy.
He attempts TO predict weather changes on the
assumption that what really matters is the way
in which any given amount of solar heat is
treated by the atmosphere the land and the sea.
and the other characteristics of the earth itself.
The heat of the falls unequally at different
parts of the earth. The warmer air rises and
flows towards the colder polar regions. The colder
air from the poles drifts towards the equator.
Thus, masses of warm and cold air, containing
moisture, cross each others paths. When they
meet, the cold mass lowers the temperature OF
the warm vapor, and rain and snow follow.
DR.. Carl c.. Rossby, of the u. S. Weather
Bureau. is noted for working out a method of
forecasting weather four five days in advance,
through calculations of warm and cold air masses.
The scientists are studying weather from two
sides one is the way that the atmosphere, the sea
and the land react TO solar rays; and the other Is
the way IN which the sun itself expelS its energy.
When the diverse methods are pooled and
reconced, new prediction age will come.

Prof Andrew Elhcott Douglass. Of the Unver-

cross sections of trees changed in thickness,
cording 10 spurts OF growth Of the trees. These
spurtS repeated each eleventh year.

gist found that the clay layers in ancient river

Rep. Bertrand w. Gearhart CD

He added that hundreds of
thousands OF war workers from

necessity for discretion in the
country's most vital and critical

Gearhart referred to official
