the earth. We call these flowing 1 currents hi the air winds and weather. WEATHER QUESTIONS Q.—Why does snow vanish withI out melting? I ve seen snow in my' I barn vanish when the temperature I was much below freezing. (A.O.R.)' A.—When the air is dry, it can take up water even from solid ice.j Such dry air usually occurs when the sky Is cold and blue. The j amount of water in the soil depends not only on how much falls, 1 but on how much is evaporated back. We make allowances for - ’ such evaporation on our wet and ■ dry maps. I Q. —Will we have much snow in | 1 Nebraska during January, Febru-I ■ ary and March? (H.H ) A.—The prospects for rain and snow in Nebraska this winter are ] fair to good. Q.—We are developing a winter sport playground in the highest' part of Pennsylvania. Will there> ' be snow this year? (A. L. H.) A.— Snowfall in Pennsylvania will tend to be light much of the I winter. Q—ls there more sunshine in I Austin, Texas, than near Houston?] Is Texas nicer in winter than I Cuba? (E.S.) A.—The Texas coast is more apt to be cloudy in winter than farth-1 er inland, because of the nearness to salt water. Cuba is warmer than Texas in winter, but the ell-1 mate is not so salubrious. Q —ls it not always colder at. night than in daytime? (C.H.H.) | A.— Usually, but not always. Some of our heat comes directly , from the sun, the rest comes from ' hot air from places south of us. j When night is warmer than day it, means a storm is near, with strong intake of southern air. ♦ HISTORICAL WEATHER MAP Weather and ocean current played a tremendous part in the ! discovery and settlement of America.

Journey to Bethlehem Not Like Today’s Travel Accustomed to our swift and modern transportation. It is 1 difficult to visualize the hard’hips of that journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, or the great fatigue and weariness suffered by Mary and Joseph. Consternation filled their hearts at the decree of Caesar; yet there was nothing to do but obey the summons. They must make the | long, tiresome journey, and at once!" No shining motor car waited outI side their gate; no silver-winged plane stood throbbing in a nearby field; not even the meanest ox-cart was available. While others rode by in gorgeous caravans, a patient little donkey was their only means of transportation. We can imagine the tall and bearded Joseph leading 1 the animal along, glancing back every now and then with words of cheer and encouragement for Mary, ] or pointing out some landmark ] along the way. i Behind them now was the Sea of Galilee and Mt. Tabor. Through the plain of Estraleon they labored; ] then came the rough and uneven trail through Samaria, where even the sure-footed donkey stumbled at ] times. To the west, the Jordan ran ] its course, to empty farther south I into the Dead sea. Along their way they passed many places whose names would be known and revered around the world in the dim future , • • • Did Mary have a vision as she went by that one day the Son I whom she was about to bear would go up and down this country preach- ’ ing a new Gospel of love and peac# and hope for man, and that His birth would be held in happy and blessed remembrance by all the peoples of the earth until time would be no more?—Katherine Edelman. © Western Newspaper Union.

asaaajsawjßaisgss'.Rasagsssaßaw First Christmas Carol When Christ Was Bom siswssississtfKiicfiisajsawjjsjssija CHRISTMAS is the time when men are drawn together in a great unity. Much of this may be attributed to our response to familiar songs, sung year after year to commemorate the advent of a little Child on earth. The first Christmas carol ever heard, we like to believe, came over the field of Bethlehem, when Christ was born—- “ Glory be to God on high, and on earth, peace, good will toward men.”

But it was 1,200 years later that St. Francis of Assisi and his brothers took up the singing in public of carols at Christmas to combat the unbelief of their time. With lighted tapers they went about the streets of the small Italian village pouring out their hearts in songs of praise. In the 800 years since then the singing of Christmas carols has gone around the world. Wherever Christianity is known carol singing follows. The simple vision of a mother lulling her babe to sleep gives Christmas music its strength. Some sing as a tribute to their religious faith, others as a custom they enjoy. But whatever the reason, the important thing is that more and more people do it. From such widely’ different sources as churches, theaters, schools, clubs, radio stations, come the words of “Away in a Manger,” “Silent Night,” "Joy to the World,” "Little Town ot Bethlehem,” "Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” and "Come All x’e Faithful,” sung by soloists, choirs, choruses or the voices of school children. So each year new joy is expressed through old channels. — Frances Grinstead. ® Western Newspaper Union.

CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS IF YOUR Christmas tree is a balsam —and that is the Ipveliest kind of all, both for appearance and for fragrance—then when you first light it a cheerful old superstition urges a glance at your shadow’ on the wall—if you dare. Should it appear headless you will not live to see another Christmas. Then, later, when the tree is burned, another tradition suggests keeping a partly burned stick to ward off lightning.

Paint Brightens Toys In the basement or the attic many of us will find old toys the children have discarded. Christmas Is almost here and much joy can be brought into the lives of less fortunate youngsters if we get out these toys, give them a coat df gayly colored enamel and distribute them ourselves or turn them over to a social agency to be handed out so needy youngsters pn St. Nick’s day. In England's Wassail Bowls Brewed in England’s Yuletide wassail bowls are baked apples, hot ale seasoned with spice, orange juice and rind and whipped eggs. Flan Christmas Dinner Plan to prepare as much of the, meal as possible on the day prior to Christmas so that the housewife can enjoy the day with her family.
