27 DEAD FROM TWO TORNADOES 38 Charleston Residents Reported Critically Hurt Charleston, S. C.. Sept. 30.—<U.R> This 268-ynar-olil city of colonial landmarks, ancient Hardens and wrought Iron gates struggled today to remove the ravages of two tornadoes that struck within a few minutes from opposite directions yesterday and killed 27 persons. Four companies of national guardsmen and soldiers and marines from the forts guarded the 30-biock area of destruction from looters. Os the 107 severely injured. 38 were in a critical condition. Red Cross workers found 72 homes and buildings demolished: more than 100 damaged. The loss was estimated at $2,000,000. Eleven hundred homeless were sheltered in armories, schools, the Y. M. C. A.. I and Y. W. C. A. buildings and slept ; last night on cots provided by the | militia. The dead included 15 whites and , 12 negroes. Most of the bodies ; were found in the vicinity of the ; city market, where slaves once : stood on auction blocks. The century-old city hall was un-: roofed: St. Michael’s Episcopal church and St. Philip’s church, i both built before the Revolution, ] were damaged badly. Homes that | had stood more than 100 years lay ; in heaps, some having literally ex-

vup) I I£U( JJOO. UUIII COMING FROSTS Most of the chill winds which I will blow during the first three weeks of October of this year will come from the icy plateau of | Greenland, or from the cold reg-1 ions of the province of Quebec, in northeastern Canada. These winds will sweep down across New York State. Pennsylvania, portions of West Virginia. Maryland and Virginia and may con- ' tinue as far south as the Caro- ’ linas. Another branch of these same winds will move over Hud- ' son Bay and will approach us by way of the Canadian province of Manitoba, sweeping down over Minnesota. lowa. Missouri and portions of Illinois and Wiscon- 1 sin. Still other chill winds will 1 follow down the Rocky Mountain highlands and through the states of Wasb’ngton and Oregon. Whenever a cold wind blows there must be a warm wind blow- i ing somewhere else, otherwise a vacuum would be quickly created, j But a vacuum cannot form, because air pressure is 15 pounds per square inch all over the sur- , face of the earth. Outside air ’ immediately forces air to move into the place vacated by a wind. j As cold winds move down from Quebec across our eastern states there will be compensating warm winds which will blow from the central portions of the Gulf of Mexico fan-wise across the middle , west as shown in the illustration. The cold air mass which wili i come down from Manitoba on | October 5 and possibly October 6 looks large from a distance The growing season in the upper Mis- | sissippi end Missouri Valleys may end at this time. Frost of 36 de- ' grees w ! ll kill tender vegetation Thirty-tw’o degrees will kill ordinary vegetation that is not protected. and at 28 degrees all green things are killed WEATHER QUESTIONS Question —Does the sun revolve i in a stationary place in the sky or has it an orbit to travel in?— I J S. OR. Answer—The sun is moving toward the constellation of Lyra in the northern sky at the rate of 11 miles per second, carrying all its planets with it. This motion is probably an orbital motion moving around another object, about the stars of the Milky Way, but it .

ploded into the vacuum core of the I I twisting wind. The first storm struck the northI ent end of the city shortly before ' .18 a. m. yesterday. There was a . I lull of a few minutes, then the oth- , ler swooped through the battery j I and business district. A heavy I ’ rain followed. The power failed! and for six hours all communica-, tion lines were out. I Several were injured on Sulll-, ( van's Island, where Fort Moultrie stands. Detachments of soldiers , ' j from there aided in patrol duty in ■ ' the city on orders from President . I Roosevelt to the army. navy, ma- ' i rine corps and WPA to rush all possible assistance. The streets were strewn with ; fallen trees, smashed automobiles, ! , timbers and mortar. Weather ob- ' servers said that although the ap- . I pearance of two tornadoes almost I simultaneously was unique, they I II evidently were an offshoot of a low I pressure area that sent a wind- ' storm sweeping up the Atlantic coast today. The winds here were j gauged at 72 miles an hour. o PLAN CONCERT | (CON’TINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I the Almighty.” j Organ, "Prelude and Fugue in G major”, Bach.

Answer—This superstition has a certain basis of coincidence. Fruit ripens best when the days are bright add warm, and on such days the moon usually shows better than ordinary. I Question—Will rainfall in North ’ i Dakota and Montana be as good i in 1939 as in 1938? We recall that i you said somewhere that you ‘ i thought that rain would be good ' iin this section about 1943. Do i you still think so? B. W. T. Answer — Except for rains in the middle of summer it looks like 1939 will not be so favorable as 1938. Question — What is potassium? Why is it found on the sun? H. H. Answe r —Potassium is a metal lighter than water occurring in potash and in many rocks. AstronI omers think that all the chemical elements found on the earth also occur on the sun and indeed that matter with all its different elements is universal in the sun, the planets, and the stars. * •!

replies favorably to Poland's dej mand for immediate cession of i the Silesian area claimed by Poland, Warsaw has threatened drastic action. Already there are clashes and Polish troops are demanding the order to march in tomorrow. Except for the slight cloud of possible trouble on the Polish border, the conference here ended in a marked atmosphere of cordiality and agreement. Before leaving for Paris, Premier Edouard Daladier of France issued a statement in which he said: “I believe that the Munich ' meeting may mark an historical date for Europe. “I am glad to see for myself that Germany entertains no feeling of hatred nor hostility. Be assured that France feels no hos- ’ tility for Germany. “The two nations must agree.” Polish Threat Warsaw. Sept, 30 — (U.PJ —The foreign office announced today that if an unfavorable reply is received from Czechoslovakia re- ' ga-ding Poland's demands for ers-

■ sion of the Teschen area, "the ( Polish government during the course of the evening will resort I I to measures which may involve 1 , the most far reaching conge-. . quences.” i The statement was issued after ’ President Iznacy Moscicki had i t conferred with his ministers at j i the presidential palace. It read: , 1 "Poland is determined to settle ' - its conflict with Czechoslovakia I independently. "The Czech answer to the Pol-' « ish note has been expected for! ■ three days and will be handed i over to Warsaw tonight. It will; i be examined immediately. I "Should the Czechoslovak an- ' swer contain no agreement for the ( immediate cession of the disputed • territory, the Polish government > during the course of the evening - will resort to measures which may involve the most far reaching ’ consequences. "The responsibility will be s Prague’s.” r Political quarters stressed the s gravity of the situation, pointing j - to the increasingly greater mil!-1 tary preparations.
