'The Alpine foehn enjoys the same reputation ag the American chinook for making the snow fields disappear ~--not merely melt--as '* by magic; 'hence the Swiss call it the "ichnee- fresser," which is just.a shade more expressive than the chinooks nick- name of "snow eater." The 'nine wind is rther renowned for render ing wood-work dangerously inflam. mable and for causing a transien. ail- ment known as "foehn sickness." Meteorulogists recall the crude ther zing 'nce rife about thi. wind, the heat and dryness of which were ex- plained, up to the sumption that it traveled via the upper atmosphere ll the way from the Sahara Desert. There are several winds in various corners of the earth whose names have almost become hovsc' ld words, though in a roomful of educated peo- ple you will rarely find one who can tell you what these breezes are li. > where they blow. The name of the "simoon" is familiar--and the mis- spelling "simoon" even more so--but most of us have forgotten, if we ever knew, that the wind bearin;, this name blows in Asian and African deserts, bringing such intense dry heat that its deadly effects are popularly ascribed to a mysterious poiso. in the air. The name of the wind signifies "poison" in Arabic. The monsoon is not a storm, though the southwest monsoon -of India is commonly ushered in by a period of stormy weather called the "burst of the monsoon." The name of this wind has been spelled in twenty-four differ- ent ways in English-during and since the sixteenth century. A monsoon is a seasonal wind, in any part of the 'world, that blows from a large land area to an adjacent ocean in the cold season and in the opposite direction in the warm season; but, of course, the monsoon par excellence is that of Asia, especially as manifested in India, and over the adjacent seas. The south- west monsoon is the very life of the country, bringing the "rains" from mid-June to mid-September, when it does not fail. In the latter case the sequel is hardship, though not, as formerly, famine. Little Known of Pampero The habit of the pampero is more widely familiar, than its habits, since the former is indicated by the name, The pampero dwells upon the broad pampas of Argentina, but it is best known to the world at large through the encounters of sailors with its squally gusts on the River Plate. It comes from the southwest, mainly dur- ing the months from July to Septem- ber, and on land it raises enormous clouds of dust, which sometimes spread such a pall of darkness over the land that it is hard to find one's way about. Often heavy rain falls, "and, mingling with the dust, becomes a shower of mud. Thunder and light- ning frequently accompany these squalls. - The harmattan is a dry, dusty wind of the west coast of Africa, blowing from the deserts. It feels cool because ol promoting evaporation and brings a scnse of relief from the oppressive nioist heat of the coast, for which rea- son it 1s sometimes referred to as "the doctor." 5 The ctecians are the persistent norsherly winds of the late summer znd early autumn in the eastern Medi teriauncan region. An anélent notion ehout the etesians was that they cause tia annual overflow of the Nile by} lowing the water upstream. 'The tropical cyclone has two aliases not always mentioned. It is"a baguio ji the Philippines and a willy-willy on thy northwest coast of Australi fcchn, besides being a chinook in Nerth America, is a zonda in Argen- tna and a berg wind in South Africa. One of th most remarkable climatic featnrcs of the American plains lacks} a truly distinctive nana, since. it is merely known as a "hot wind." It Is the antithesis of the blizzard, which uriches in the same region. Hot ids come during general hot spells in narrow bands, ranging from 100 feet | mys started taking Kruschen Salts.

' by any nation is expected to take place next March or April, when twenty-four Italian sea- plangs, under command of General Aldo Pellegrini, will set out from Orbetello, near Rome, for a round-the- world flight. The planes selected for this flight, which the Italian Air Ministry has been preparing for carefully for the last two years, hre Savoia Marchetti machines of the S56 type, fitted with new Isotta Fraschini engine. develop- ing from 760 to 800 horsepower and having a speed of 200 kilomet.rs (125 miles) an hour. The flight is to be made by stages, the seaplanes stopping at thirty dif- ferent localities before returning to this country. Two bases will be estab- lished, presumably at New York and Tokio. The object of the flight is not to establish any new record but simply to test the regulerity of the machines in long-distance flight, General Italo Balbo, Italian Air Minister; General Giuseppe Valle, chief of the air staff, and all the fly- ers who took part in the Italian for- mation flight across the Atlantic two years ago will ;;o on this flight, It is telieved also that the Duke of Aosta, who recently joined the Italian air force, will take part, thus being the first member of a royal family to cross the Atlantic by air. Each ma- chine will carry a crew of four. The fligh' will last about four months. --p eee Beauty The beauty of the house Is ordcr, The blessing of the louse is content- ment, The glory of the house is hospitality, The crown of the house is godliness.

Wheat and Chaff There is no virtue in being a go- getter, unless you are going after the right things. Nothing warms a girl's heart a. quickly as promising to go through fire for her. If you watch the clock when you are twenty, you are apt to be a watchman when you're sixty. It you don't want to grow, look for an easy job. It is easier to shift the blame than to weigh your ewn weakness. When a rich man loves them and leaves them, he usual- ly leaves them a plenty. The night has a thousand éyes and them can't see half as much as a jealous woman, The more clocks and watches there are In the house the oftener somebody asks somebody else what time it is. To avoid being late it is necessary to start early. It is well to follow good advice, but be sure you catch up with it once in a while. A mule usually kicks because he doesn't want to g0 anywhere--which is exactly like some people. A man doesn't know he's old until he's eighty, but a woman starts worrying at twenty-five, Many a pro- mising young man turns out to be a man who keeps on promising. First Pessimist--"It's hard to make both ends meet nowadays," Second Pessimist--"Yes, and just when thev are about to meet some fool comes along and moves the ends," Horace sagely remar.. that when a man is doing the best he can, he does not want to have som» idle bystander tell him how to dig in harder. The Crowd (at football game)--"We want a touchdown! down!" Small Voice -- "Papa, I want a sack of peanuts." Do not worrry about the rising gen- eration. There i8 no'hing the matter with it that age won't cure." A woman didn't want her party writ- ten in the paper as she had informed her folks she was too hard up to e any Christmas gifts this season, and didn't want her mother-in-law to hear about her party.
