COP'S BANDIT SON IS SLAIN — Chicago Policeman Makes Possible Solving Os Crime Wave — Chicago, June 17.— LU.R> -Police-) man Ernest L. Keen. 43, has main- j tained an excellent record for > bravery and performance in the J line of duty during his 15 years t in the Chicago police department. I He still could claim that record j today. Last night an elusive “phantom’’ [ baiffiit, who in little more than 1 two weeks had committed 28 early I morning robberies, was shot and . killed by Keen's fellow officers. But Keen was credited with hav-' ing made the capture possible. i The bandit was his son, Harold, 23, who had been a lawbreaker since he was 10 and was discharg- ' ed from parole only two mouths ago. The search for the young gunman became a city-wide manhunt last Tuesday after he had engaged in a running battle with police. He was wounded, but abandoned his automobile, later found stained with blood, and escaped on foot. He had not been identified when he fled. The next morning Policeman Keen, a member of the stolen automobile detail, told his superior officers he was convinced his son .

' was the ’'phantom.'’ He said ho had taken a photograph of the boy I and made the rounds of filling stations und restaurants that had been robbed. Five persons made identifications. “I know Harold is the man you • want," Keen said. “I want to be [ the one to cutch him, though. Hell I shoot. I know, and I'd rather get j it than have some other policeman killed." He said his son’s wife, Angellne, 1 f>. who Is an expectant mother, 1 would know where the boy was. ! She was apprehended and admittl ed she had kept a rendezvous with ’ her husband Wednesday night, i dressed a wound in his left arm. I and made a date to meet him last i night at the home of a girl frftmd. i Seven detectives went to the , home to await his arrival. The ' elder Keen was not permitted to I accompany them. Mrs. Keen was' | held in temporary custody at the | , detective bureau. Keen arrived on schedule. As he stepped onto the rear porch he saw Detective Joseph McCabe, holding a machine gun, behind a ‘ screen door. McCabe ordered him to throw up his hands. Keen hesitated and jerked an automatic j from his pocket. McCabe opened fire and Keen fell before a barrage ' of bullets. The elder Keen didn’t report for ■ work on his early shift today. He ; stayed home with his wife. “Harold was a bad boy.” he said. ■ “His mother and I tried our best, but we tailed.” o FT. WAYNE MAN (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ing. Only Beard was injured.

LIBRATION OF THE MOON AND FUTURE WEATHER A correspondent writes to inquire the origin of the superstition that the phases of the Moon show the weather to come. This superstition is an old one, but has a foundation of fact. , Whether the Moon runs high or i low, is bright or dark does not I affect weather. This may seem i odd until we realize that the ' phases of the Moon are the result of its illumination by the sun, and are merely a question of light and ' shadow. But there tire other appearances of the Moon which give a rough indication what the weather ahead will be. The Moon is egg shaped, not spherical. The Earth, at a time when the Moon was fluid, lifted an enormous tide in it, so that when the Moon solidified this tide-shape remained, pointing toward the Earth. This holds the Moon, and prevents it from spinning the way : the Earth does. As the Moon purI sues its orbit around the Earth it ; turns just once as it goes around, always keeping the same face toward the Earth. But the Moon’s i orbit is not round, but oval. Consequently the Moon librates. or ’ tilts, back and forth, as it moves in its oval orbit, and we alternately see a little more of one side than the other. Not only is the Moon's orbit an oval, but it changes this oval frequently. The i varying gravity pull of the Sun [ and the Earth upon the Moon cause the Moon’s orbit to constantly move from one oval shape to another, so that the librations of the Moon in orbit are never twice alike. Weather waves on Earth are j caused by the gravity pull of the Moon and Sun. Every time the Moon takes a fresh orbit a weath-I er wave is generated on tffe Earth. I 'When the Moon changes its orbit ' drastically, a large and rainy ■ weather wave is induced some- ‘ where on the Earth's surface. When the change is smaller the weather is less stormy than normal. When the orbit is changing rapidly there are stronger librations of the Moon than there would be if the changes were slower. Those ot you who have sharp eyes 1 can see these librations even with the naked eye. Using powerful telescopes and ' the most refined instruments of modern science astronomers can tell what orbit the Moon is moving in and what orbit it is going

J JUNE. 1938® I 20 21 22 23 24- 25 26 27 I J..* e i INDIANA | I QCAIM GfAIRtoUNOTIED ©UNSETTLED F ttINXIIItDtoSWY • STORM W-WNDI The maps show total effect of Hot, Cold, Wet, and Dry Air to be expected next week. DAILY FORECAST to follow In the future, and so we can tell far ahead the general picture of wether to come upon The Earth. Those of you who are interested in watching the Moon and looking at weather will find it watch the dark spots near the edge I instructive and interesting to of the Moon swing back and forth under libration as the Moon ravels its orbit. WEATHER QUESTIONS Q. Do articles of different shapes | fall through the air at different speeds? You say that rain drops fall at the speed of 18 miles per hour. —F.R.D. A. The resistance which the air offers increases in proportion to the surface of a falling body, relative to its mass. A hard compact objective like a cannon ball offers comparatively little resistance to the air, but an extended object like a parachute or a feather offers a i great deal of air resistance. The top speed of a falling human being is believed to be about 96 miles per hour. Q. How do tornadoes occur? — I R.F. A. When warm and cold air meet a zone of turbulence occurs. In | this zone there are a great many ' violent winds of local character. They roll and toss and whirl in every direction. Those which roll horizontally make thunder storms. Those which roll vertically make i tornadoes. Most tornadoes occur in the air. Probably not one in a hundred ever reaches the ground. Q. What kind of weather are"we going to have in 1939? Will it be wet or dry over Kansas? —Z.T.A. A. 1939 will not be so wet as 1938 in the Kansas region, but it will be rainier on the Atlantic slope. We will probably find that in Kansas, areas in 1939 will not have quite as good crops at 1938. Q. Is the direct breeze of an | electric fan bad for the health? Is it better to swelter on a hot day or to sit in the direct breeze of

the fan?—A. H. H. A. The cooling effect of the fan lies In Its power to evaporate perspiration from the body. If this evaporation is too rapid the body will be chilled. Try putting the fan on the other side of the room where the current will not be so violent, or direct It against a wall so that the stream of air falling on you is not a direct one.
