A checkup on putty around
window panes can save you a lot
Of work. Places that show signs
of separating from the glass or
window frame can be repaired
before complete replacement
becomes necessary.
This precaution also prevents
rot in the wood sash or rust on
metal sash. Before reputtying,
be sure to prime the woodwork
with which the putty will come
in contact. This prevents the
oil in the putty from being abb
sorbed into the wood. Wait sew

Of course, is that low pressure areas draw
in turbulent weather and cause storms, but
exactly what causes low pressure areas is
not fully understood and Just why a low
pressure area developed west Of New York
and drew Hurricane Carol north instead
of northeast at the critical moment is yet
not fully explained.
Another puzzle about hurricanes which
is not yet fully understood is the question
about high tides caused by them. 1t was
formerly believed that hurricane tides re-
suited from lowered pressure at the center
Of an advancing storm The lower pres
sure would cause water to rise since the
pressure would not be as great
In a new authoritative work on wea-
Their, by the American Meteorological so
ciety, it is suggested that the pressure effect
could only amount to about four feet. Yet
hurricane tidal waves are quite often much
higher than this and this suggests there
is another cause-aS yet unknown
Al of which brings us around to the
point that man is still long way from

cially those concerning the weather.

ground over a hole connected to another
