Wet and Dry Winds to Come Half a century agp scientists had utterly no idea where storms come from or why they move. But the Weather Bureau in this country and the Meteorological Offices of other countries patient- I ly collect reports of the daily hap- I penings of storms, and bit by bit | we are learning what makes storms act the way they do. For example, think of this strik- i ing development: We are finding out that heavy rains along the | Atlantic Seaboard are nearly al- , ways accompanied by drought in I lhe Middle West and frequently I by heavy rains on the Pacific j Coast. When theie is rain in the I Middle West, however, it is usual-1 ly dry on both sea coasts The reason for this lies in the current ' of air we call the Gulf Stream of ■ the Air. This Gulf Stream of the Air follows the Gulf Stream of the Ocean, but it is not confined ■ by the shape of the continent the j way the Gulf Stream of the Ocean I is. Sc ientists are finding that the- I Gulf Stream of the Air swings as I it flows. Sometimes it crosses I over the narrow part of Mexico I and moves for a time in the Pa - i cific Ocean, where it makes , storms on the west coast of Mex ' ico and rain in California. Stud- ' ies of the floods a year ago in California, the heavy rains of last spring over Texas and Oklahoma and northward, the recent droughts in the east, and the

DAILY FORECAST string storms and heavy rains ! which are now happening on the j Atlantic Coast give us a dynamic picture of the movements of the I Gulf Stream of the Air.

Forecast of Early 1939 This pattern of rain which we | will soon see is going to be the i general patterns of rain for the | early part of 1939. The Atlantic | and Pacific Coasts are going to ! receive abundant water, while the ' w. stern plains are are going to i be too dry. WEATHER QUESTIONS Question — Can you tell me whether we will have plenty of rain next spring in the Black Hills region? It has been terribly

I dry there this summer. M.N.C.G. Answer—Good rains will probably occur next summer in this , section, but the spring and the autumn may be dry. Question- Will 1939 be n hay fever year in Indiana? A.D.L. Answer—lndiana will probably be drier in 1939 than in 1938. For that reason pollen will travel in the air farther and will make it unpleasant for hay fever victims. Question — Will there l»e deep snows this winter in the Lake Erie region? T. 8. Answer — From the computations to date we expect good snows this winter in the Lake ; Erie section. Question My boy is Interested in studying Jupiter at school. Where can we find this planet In the sky? G. 8. Answer — Face south at dusk and look straight ahead and a little up. Jupiter is a bright bluewhite star. ♦ —■ ■ ♦ Model Hurricanes The savage fury of a hurricane is known to all, but hurricanes are a great mystery nevertheless, because few cientifle weather observations 1 can be taken at the time of i-re.itcit storm st verity. Bill Professor Selby Maxwell has ' devised away for making model hurricanes which are very instructive and show many of the characteristics of these whirling storms. Boys j and girls of Grammar School | or High School age will find | them very instructive and amusing. Oldsters will better 1 understand the forces that battle about them in time of j storm.

POPEYE CREATOR TAKEN BY DEATH Cartoonist Os Famous Comic Strip Dies Last Night Santa Monica. Cui. Oct. 14 — (U.R>—Popeye, the spinach eating sailor. J. Wellington Wimpy, created out of hamburger. Olive Oyl and all the other comic strip characters of "Thimble Theater" today lost their creator. Elzie Crlsler Segar. The 48-year-old cartoonist who popularized a vegetable for millions ot children died at his home last night utter a lengthy illness of spleen and liver. He suffered a relapse last month after indications of regaining his health. With him were Mrs. Segar and their children. Marie, 14, and Tom. 10. The family had lived here 10 years. There were more than 60VI licensed products of Popeye and | Crystal City. Tex., spinach center | of America, recently erected a huge statue of the scrawny, hamarmed sailor. The jutting jawed, pipe smoking. one-eyed Popeye. who claimed to b? the greatest fighter and i strongest man in the world, appeared more by accident than design on Jan. 17, 1929, and soon made Segar famous. Popeye was born because Segar, in expanding the continuity of* his strip featuring the Oyl family, introduced a boat for which he needed a sailor. Castor Oyl. I Olive's brother, was master of I the boat. He saw a man in sea-| faring garb and yelled, "Hey, are! you a sailor?” The belligerent reply, "Ja think I was a cowboy?” introduced Popeye to the comic s’rip world. Born in Chester, 111., Dec. 8. 1894. Segar as a youth operated a motion picture projection ma1,1, — - ——————— approving the bond issue, in order that the PWA grant of $25,363 might not be lost through the delay. He asked that the law he quoted lie upheld by the council. The PWA grant is to pay 45 per cent of the approximately $55,000 • asked originally, the remainder! or $3,000. plus the 55 per cent | of the county's share will total ' $33,000. Mr. Abramson requested the council to observe the apparent, intent ot the majority of the ■ signers on the petition and re-1 monstrance and to deny the bond i issue of $33,000. He also denied I there exist definite legal grounds for the removal of the names on the remonstrance, asked by Mr. Custer.

It. F. Outcault, famed then as creator of "Buster Brown and Tige" got . Segar a job on the Chicago Herald drawing "Charlie Chaplin's comic capers.” The paper dosed after two years and the newly married Segar was out of a job. In 1917 ho began drawing a local strip. “Looping the Loop" and was part time dramatic critic for the Chicago Evening American. Three weeks after Segar went to New York in 1919. he started "Thimble Theater" for King Features Syndicate. First members of the cast were Olive Oyl and Ham Gravy. There were plenty of gags, satire, comedy and nonsense. but no great following. I Then Segar's pen shaped Popeye | and millions loved it. o SECY. WALLACE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I again. By last spring a real depression was developing. But, unlike 1932, this time the people were not defenseless. "The president and the congress went into action with the employ- , ment and recovery program. Meanwhile, on the farm front also important things began to happen. I The provisions of the new farm j act began swinging into operation. "With she help ot the farmers' I program, farm cash income this 1 year will be only twelve per cent below the peak of last year and farm buying power will be only nine per cent under that of last year." He said that in view of the present “supply situation” of corn the 1938 corn loan rate would be "at least 57 cents" which was the rate, in 1937. Wallace described the operation of the AAA hi the corn belt this year as a “demonstration of economic democracy which has no parallel outside the farm program.” Referring to the campaign last I spring of the corn belt liberty lea- ‘ gue, which was born in nearby Mc- ; Donough county and now has i branches throughout the midwest, | Wallace Said: "Remember how the farm proi gram haters centered their fire, on I the marketing and storage quota | feature? This they denounced without mercy. “No attention was paid to the fact that a specified marketing quota level must be exceeded and
