PROVERBS PROVE USEFUL
TO FORECAST WEATHER
That weauur proverbs can now
have little practical use, no one Is dla
, posed to ccnteud. The national
weather service forecasts with mar
velous accuracy weather conditions
all over the continent The conditions
are followed every hour throughout
the day.
In remote parts of the country.
however, particularly on farms aid
in Tillages, weather reports are not
alwajs accessible. Hence, many far
mers are inclined to rely upon their
own interpretation of the signs before
them.
Farmers, woodsmen, fishermen and
outdoor craftsmen in general have
developed among themselves a set of
proTerbs which serve as weather
guides. Many of the seasonal pro
verbs deal with results rather than
tjpes of weather.
Common among them are:
Tear of wow
rult will grow.
Irost year,
Fruttyear.
Another form goes:
A year of mow, a year of plenty.
Then.
A late epriog never deceives.
The truth of these proverbs is
found in the fact that a more or less
lengthy covering of snow not only
delays the blossoming of fruit trees
until after the season of killing frosts,
but also prevents the freezing and
thawing so harmful to wheat and win
ter grains.
Consider the proverb:
A red ana liaa water la Ms eye.
Now, a quantity of dust and smoke
particles will give the sun a red ap
pearance, particularly In damp
weather when the atmosphere is lad
en with moisture and dust particles.
It Is then that we see the sun as a
fiery red ball. A red sun then indi
cates the two essential rain elements,
moisture and dust. So it is easy to
understand how the proverb came to
be accepted.
Another one in this connection
says:
If red toe sua begin hla race.
Re sure the rala will fall aoace.
Weather proverbs have a wide
range. Some are good, others bad.
Concerning the color of the sky at
sunrise and sunset, we have the fol
lowing lines from Shakespeare: -a
red mora that ever ret betokened
Wreck to the seamen, tempest to tbe field;
borrow to me snepneras, woe unto me
birds,
(lusts and foul flaws to herdsmen and to
herds.
This proverb conveys a similar
idea:
Sky red In the moraine;
Is a sailor's sure warning:
Sky red at night
Is the sailor's delight.
If the evening sky contains yellow,
or some other short-wave-length
color, the indications are that clear
weather will prevail on the morrow.
This is because these colors of the
yellow and greenish hue signify less
condensation and dryer air than tbe
red colors.
Again Shakespeare lends expres
sion:
The weary sun bath made a golden set

Not in freuqeuntly one finds persons
who supposj'that the moon exercises
considerable control over the weath
er. Meteorologists, however, have
shown that the moon has little or no
Influence on the weather. Support
ing this. It has been said:
The moon and tbe weather
May change together;
Bnt change of tbe moon
Ioes not change the weather.
If we'd no moon at all.
And that may seem strange,
W- still should bare weather
That'a subject to change.
Conditions of the atmosphere re
flect upon the appearance of the
moon. Hence we have the proverb:
Clear moon.
Frost soon.
Proverbs based on the stars are
usually without merit. The follow
ing Is typical:
W&en the stars legln to bnddle.
The earth will noon become a puddle.
The ideas that stars can huddle to
gether before a rain is probably due
ic the fact that at ths beginning of
condensation a mist forms over the
sky causing the smaller stars to be
come Invisible to the naked eye .while
the brighter stars shine dimly with
a faint appearance, each appearing
as a cluster of stars.

STCDENT GETS THRILL IN AIR
Was Betty Erter Finds Varied Sens.
Hon In Plane Ride.
The Slgourney Review, of Slgour-
ney, la, for July 21, contains an ac
count of an airplane trip taken by
Miss Betty Etter, a former student
of tbe School of Journalism.
"At last the time came,' Miss Et
ter said. "My anxiety was forgotten
as I tried to figure out how I was
going to get in, and went over in my
mind all my vocabulary of bad words
because I had worn a tight skirt.
I got in. I had my- little fur lined
cap hooked under my chin, and a
strap hooked around me as if I were
a baby going for a ride in its buggy.
and we started. There was a place
to brace my feet, but no place to hang
on by my hands, was my first discov
ery. The leather strap was the only
thing between me and the next worlds

that we did not seem to be going fast
at all, but the ground went by so
fast that I figured we must be. The
roads looked about an inch wide. I
wondered why fields were so wide.
but finally deduced that I could not
see the fences, and it all looked like
one big field.
"I was beginning to feel a little dis
appointed, though, when he sudden
ly shot down a little way, and then
again I didn't feel that sensation that
had been described to me, but sudden
ly the earth seemed to be on the side
of me, instead of beneath, and I had
a sinking sensation in my stomach.
We righted ourselves, and before I
had got my breath we went down
again, a long way this time. My head
went dawn till it nearly hit my toes.
my feet slipped off the brace, and then
we began to go up. The air was so
heavy it nearly smashed me, I could-
