Thermometer Readings
Vory-There's q Reason

Temperature can vary. say
every foot. depending on the
surroundings. On the white
marble steps of the Supreme
Court Building, for example, on
Ia bright summer day. thermom-
Ieter needles have been known
to hop right off the dial.
Temperature differences bring
up the problem Of why the read
Iings for Washington are taken
in Virginia.
District forecaster Jane
Hunter says it doesn't make any
difference. For 60 or 70 years
District temperatures were taken
on the roof Of the Weather
Bureau building at Twenty
fourth and M streets NV.
When the airport was built
and the local Office moved there
Science kept a close watch or
what the move did to the read
ings.
Answer: Nothing.
Vary But Slightly
Readings in the little white
box at the airport, and the little
white box on M street vary only
about half a degree. Mr.. Hunter
said. That size difference means
nothing, he said. and could even
be laid to the human error OF
the man taking the reading.
Throughout the city Except
where aforementioned, as Science
is in the Weather BureauD lay
men found 1t too hot to think
That didn't stop Science.
Cooled by air, Science could
figure out how hot everybody

was not doing that. The curses
