Copyright 1938, John F. Dille Company How Big Is the Moon? 3-18 Inch in diameter.

Why does the moon look larger ' when it Is low than it does when it is high? No doubt you have seen this phenomenon many times. The moon really is no larger when it is close to the horizon than It Is when it is aloft, in fact, it is slightly smaller on the horizon than on high, because when the moon is on the meridian it is about 4.000 miles closer to us than it is when it is on the horizon, the difference being the radius of the earth. Sometime, when the moon seems extra large to you. look at it through a paper tube or cup your hands about it to shut off all other objects, and then it will at once resume its normal appearance. Artists have a custom of measuring objects by holding a pencil at arms length and marking off sizes on the point of the pencil. If you will do this you will find that at arms length the moon will be about

THE HOUSE, Buy Machines When You Need Them —Pay a Little Out of Each Source of Income—on the International Harvester Income-Purchase Plan The new INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER INCOMEPURCHASE PLAN recognizes the fact that frequent small payments are easier to make than one large payment. It is so flexible that it can be adapted to each farmer's marketing schedule, permitting him to make his payments when he has cash coming from crops, livestock, or dairy or poultry products. Each farmer's requirements are considered and analyzed individually—resulting in a convenient schedule of payments, easy to meet.

i When we see the moon near fa- ! miliar objects, our minds sub-con-sciously associate the moon with I these objects. Now, we know that | a tree is normally 50 to 60 feet ] high, and a house is somewhat less. | What we do not realize is that objects lose apparent diameter ' quite rapidly as we recede from them, so that at even moderate distances houses and trees really look smaller than they seem to us. We keep remembering them as though they were close to us. Then ' when we see the moon behind such ■ objects our mind subconsciously i makes the moon seem bigger than lit really is. When the sky is clear ■ this optical illusion is much more ' ] pronounced than it is when the sky I is cloudy. You can forecast weather by the i enlarged appearance of the moon. 1 It usually happens that within two I or three days of the time when you

This is especially true If the moon Is tinted with red. The .scientific explanation is that when i the moon seems large the air is ! dear and w» are tn the midst of a ; strong movement of polar air from ; the north, and if the moon seems | red. there is already much water ; vapor in the air. Within three days | a return flow from the south will ‘ pass over us anti as It comes it will bring storm and rain. QUESTIONS and ANSWERS QUESTION BOX | Question —Can I see sun spots I with the telescope that I have made | after your plans? G. R. Answer—Yes. but I would recommend that you use about half a dozen pieces of red photographer's glass between the eye piece and the object glass. The sun is very bright, and you must not look at l it without taking extra precautions

Stream will tend to move to the , central and eastern part of the Gulf of Mexico and away from the western part of the Gulf of Mexico. " This will cause less wet weather I . over most of Texas, as well as the , auja:ent states, and wetter weather I over the east Gulf Coast and the . Atlantic Seaboard. ( Question- Could you tell in a . general way from October 1938 to April 1939, whether temperatures' . will be above or below normal In; . Virginia. West Virginia, and Ken- . lucky and whether there will be ’ light or heavy snows? W. M Answer — The early part of the fall and winter will be cooler than the later part, and the weather will be rainy and snowy to a greater extent in 1939 than in 1938.
