THE BLUE EARTH People have often wondered what the earth would look like if we could stand off in space and view it. Os course we know that Brazil would not look yellow, the United States pink, nor Mexico green. Scientists even doubt that the great masses of the continents would be particularly visible at all. This seems odd to us, because we lay great stress on land and water, but seen from space both soa and laud would appear in a secondary role, and the most important thing visible on the earth wouid be weather and clouds. The earth is a blue pianei as seen from outside. When the moon is almost between the earth and the sun and is a very thin crescent, the dark side of the moon is illuminated with blue light. This blue light is sunlight reflected from the earth. Such a moon is called a “blue moon" This blue light from the earth comes from our familiar blue skies. Somet.mes the blue moon is much whiter than at other times. Tins is because the cloudiness of the earth's air varies. As seen from space our clouds would shine with the brilliancy ot new fallen snow in the sunshine. Astronomers are in doubt as to what color the oceans would lie Some say they would be dark blue or even almost black, for sunshine is not strongly reflected from water.

“Ferdinand the Bull” Intrigues Milliners, Too V I | 1 Joan Fontaine vtMf * ijjr > IjfiHr llpF liWm itViffinKS ifßfrTm

Milliners, like most everyone else, are intrigued by ’•Ferdinand the Bull,” in book and cartoon popularity And the milliners took the story of the bull so seriously that a whole line of mid-season hats save resulted. Hollywood has gone for the adaptation, too. as these three film players show you Peggy Carroll is wearing a gypsy turban of a gay printed silk which tells the complete story of the

the future, to make us wait so long for a real glimpse of the biue earth. WEATHER QUESTIONS Q. We received a humidity eat d from you last week, but the tab has remained blue since we hung it in our home. Can you tell us how much water we will have to put in the air to make it turn lavender, the way it should read lor proper moisture? G. \V. A. We recently .b led an experiment that may help you. When the the-mometer was zero outside and the air inside was heated to 72 decrees we evaporated five buckets of water before the humidity tab turned pink. Winter air is a great deal too dry for health and nothing short of a small jet of steam in a room will really make the room healthful. Wet clotns or pans of water are good, provided you have enough of them. Q. Much of the winter wheat area *s dosperateiy dry now. and some fields are already ruined. What are the chances of rain or suow be lore the growing season opens in the spring? M. D. R. A. Changes are not very good. It will taae a month of heavy rain over the western plains to put the soil back to even normal condition, and during the most of the winter the Gulf Stream of the Air will bo located on the Atlantic Seaboard and the Japan Current of tne Air will be too far to the west to help. Q In your opinion, is there any form of life on the planet Mats? n. T. A. There is a possibility of life.

START YOUR NEW YEAR RIGHT Many a husband and wife vow they will get up a family budget, plan their expenditure to fit the income and save systematically. But they too often put it off to “next year,” when things “straighten out a bit.” The value of a budget plan set family income and expenses is greatest just when things are not ' straightened out.” And budgeting, contrary to popular belief, doesn’t involve a lot of bookkeeping. It can be made simple and a lot of fun, besides its great practical value in conserving funds and putting the money where it does the most good. Our Service Bureau at Washington has a carefully compiled booklet on FAMILY BUDOKTING, that tails exactly how to go about constructing the budget and the simple recording that is necessary to the family income working for you to its maximum benefit. send the coupon below for your copy and start 1939 right: CLIP COUPON HERE F.
