There are strong bonds of gravMy between the earth and the tn-ion Thu next slot-t you are on the seashore, watch the tides surge In. and then ebb back. Th>- whole bulk of the oce»n swell* and ebb* twice each day under the gravity pull of the moon.

There to no weather on the moon to correspond with weather on liie earth, tiecause the moon ha* no about of which to make weather. But If there were air on the tr.oou there would tie weather a-plenty there, because the earth tide* upon the muon are Intense. In fact, ths earth tides of the moon are *o very intense that they have pulled the mopn completely out of round, aud have raised such a big bulge on it

This was a telescope made by uiy Kiandfatber. Hut it got wet. and now I cannot seem to tocus it right. How can I go about getting It fixed again? U.C.H. Jr. Ala. A. You ffa<l better remount the lenses in a metal tube. An iron or, brass pipe should do. or rain pipe or stove pipe. U true and straight. Find the focus of the front lens bv letting the sun shine through It. and measuring the distance from lens to bright spot at the focus. Q. To the beat of my knowledge most fishermen along the coasts catch fish by the tides, and I have heard It holds true on inland water as well. Is this right? I’ll. 111. A- A good many fishermen say it is true Science says fish bite best as the pressure on their air bladders — from tide or clearing sky. or both,—is increasing. Q I have made a wind force indicator after your plans and it does not work well. In making 11. I used a piece of ply wood 13'%x lo’i and % inch thick I think this ply wood is too light in weight, as It measures the wind force at too high a figure. I've measured winds that I thought were "a brisk wind" or "a strong wind" and the Indicator measured force 10 to 12. Perhaps you could tell me away to correct 11. G.DJ. Ind, A. The Beaufort wind force indicator originally used a square foot of heavy sail canvas, which la considerably stiffer at the hinge than you Indicate your plywood hinge may be. Use a canvas binge. If yon can. Q What causes a small shower sometimes to go in almost a complain circle? B M. Fla. A. Local showers are usually . part of a larger cyclone, or rotary whirl of air. If the cyclone is large the local storms, as seen from any one locality, seem to plow strulgh*. ahead, but where the cyclone Is weak and small. they go In circles. Q. Will there be any tornadoes In the state of Texas In August? Mrs. H. T. Texas. A. Tornadoes are spring storms Ln Texas. They are due to the mixing of cold air from the Rockies and northern Plains with warm wet air from the Gulf region. The Western Plains will be mostly warm in August, and therefore tornadoes in Texas are unlikely to occur. Q Why is the water on the Illinois aide of Lake Michigan wa-nt when the air is cool and windy, but cool when the weather is warm J. K 111. A. lake Michigan, except for a thio layer of water on top. Is always cold. This warm water floats, and drifts with the wind. When a strong cool northeast wind blown, warm water drifts to *he Illinois ahbre. but when the farm southwdst wind blows, the worm water drifts away, and the. hike is cold War Pendulum Two days of this week's weather will be warm and cloudy and wHI tgvor the British, rive days wiu be cool and clear and will fa»or the axis One day will be warm and cloudy

SYNOPSIS With war clouds in the offing, a special watch is set on Marie Schuyler, current Glamour Girl, who is “doing" the Mediterranean on her yacht, Serena, surrounded by a suspicious set of "important" people. Chief of these is Felix Northeim, promoter extraordinary. Cooperating with the gay girl's guardians, the intelligence service unofficially assigned Tony Worth, a young lawyer, to safeguard mad* cap Marie. En route to Europe, he observed the sophisticated Baroness Lascar, one of Northeim's alluring aides.... In the meantime, Marie is entertaining Northeim; Ray Sheldon, an American playboy; Marchese Nino Lippi, her latest heart interest; Eve Pryne, wandering widow; and Major Eric Thelme, stalwart retired army officer. Kioto, the wireless operator, has received some gravely important messages for Northeim. Marie has taken her speedboat for a spin and it upsets. Worth, watching from the Corfu shore, sees the accident, jumps from a nearby dock and swims to the rescue. Marie objects to the interference of thio stranger. CHAPTER TEN When Marie ceased to struggle In the water, Tony Worth let go of her. "That’s better" ho said. "You’re making a spectacle of yourself," she spluttered. She had kicked off her sandals, but her skirt got in the way of her leg stroke, and anger quickened her heart so that she wasn't up to her usual form. And that was annoyingl Tony laughed. Her eyes made him think of the intense blue of Payis violets in spring. Free of him, she turned and lashed back toward her boat Ho caught up with her, grabbing her by the ankle. She dove under, trying to wriggle away. None too gently, he reached for her shoulder and jerked her upwards. Tony had seen the launch being lowered. "11l race you to shore," he said. "Be a sport!” Mario didn’t bother to answer. Her teeth bit into her lip, and she swam in earnest for the quay. A crowd had gathered. She paid no attention to them, but stood proudly in the sunlight, her blue linen clinging to ber, her feet bare on the stones. Somebody handed Tony his eoat He flung it around her shoulders. Marie’s hair, tangled in wet red eurls, dripped along the tweed cloth. She stared past him at the launch which had waited for Nino Lippi. "You needn’t feel so sore," Tony remarked. "You might easily have bumped your head or twisted your wrist in that spill. Why didn’t you look where you were going?" Mario didn’t answer, and Ms patience snapped. This was a line beginning. "You’re a stubborn youngster, aren’t you?" ho crackled at her. "You might at least say’thank you’l" "All right I’ll say it tMs way." She took a step forward and gave Mm a stinging slap on the cheek. The Marchese Nino Lippi, nearing the quay in the launch, saw I Marls strike Tony Worth. Then tor , an instant their figures were motionless, clipped out against the i olive-gray slopes of Corfu, spot- , lighted by the intense sun. They | were glaring at each other. Uppl narrowed Ms eyes, bitterly ( reproaching himself for having al- i lowed Marie to dash off alone in her < speedboat If he had been with her, < thia never would have occurred; she < never would have got mixed up with a meddlesome stranger who looked 1 Uke a fresh American.
