—Dietz on Science— MANY WEATHER RIDDLES SOLVED BY D. S. BUREAU Research on Large Scale Needed for Measuring Rainfall. BY DAVID DIETZ Rrrippj-Howard Science Editor Scientific research must be carried on continuously by the United States weather bureau. For, while weather is as old as the world, scientific meteorology still is very young and many important factors in the weather still are understood imperfectly. The excellence of the present forecasting service is due to the large amount of scientific research which has been carried on in the past. | By act of congress, it is the duty I of the United States weather bureau to keep continuous records of the | state and condition of the sky and ! the air at many places, to issue fore- j casts, based thereon, of the temperature, wind, rain, and other weather | elements of the morrow and the day j after, and also from these records to discover the climatology of each j and every portion of the country,” j Dr. W. J. Humphreys, physicist of the bureau, tells us. Reliable Records Needed "To perform this public service at all satisfactorily, it was necessary first to provide for obtaining reliable records of the temperature of the air, degree of humidity, amount and kind of precipitation, wind direction and velocity, cloudiness and sunshine, and also very accurate measurements of that special condition of the atmosphere, namely, its pressure, which though inconspicuous to our senses nevertheless is so related to weather changes as to be exceedingly valuable to any one who, from today’s weather, forecasts that of tomorrow.” Because of its duties, scientific research became necessary at the very start. The bureau needed, from the beginning, methods for making observations and instruments with which to make those observations.

Problem Is Difficult "Those without experience in such matters might think that this would be the easiest sort of thing to do,” Dr. Humphreys says. “For instance, one who has not tried it naturally is cocksure that an accurate measurement of precipitation is the simplest thing in the world to effect, and indeed rough measurements of it are easy to make and have been made for many centuries. "Clearly, too, the measurement of the water caught for that purpose offers no difficulty, but investigation soon revealed the disturbing fact that the amount of water captured by any and every rain gauge varied with the nature and proximity of neighboring objects, height of the catching vessel above ground, strength of the wind, and other factors. Much Investigation Needed ‘Hence a number of investigations were required to determine the kind of apparatus to use to catch the rain, where to expose it, and how to construct it, that it automatically w’ould make a reliable and convenient record of the time of occurrence, rate of fall, and total amount of each and every rain that came.” Difficulties, however, did not stop at that point. "A device that is satisfactory for catching rain may be, and generally is. poorly adapted to the catch and measurement of snowfall,” he continues. Importance of Snow The problem of making measurement of snow practicable and accurate entailed another series of investigations. Dr. Humphreys points out that the amount of snow accumulation must be know’ll with accuracy, particularly in mountainous regions. “In many cases it determines the volume of stream flow and the quantity of w’ater available for irrigation and other uses in the valleys and plains belov r during the coming summer and fall,” he says. PREPARE SUIT TO TEST TAX EXEMPTION LAWS Real Estate Board Directors Approve Legal Action. Suit testing the state tax board's interpretation of tax exemption laws was being prepared today for filing in a county court, following action by Indianapolis Real Estate Board directors Friday. The directors approved recommendation for filing of the suit submitted by a joint tax committee of the board and the Indianapolis Home Builders' Association. The suit is result of several decisions by the state tax board exempting income producing property, the most recent case being the Odd Fellows business block at Washington and Pennsylvania streets. Statement that all taxpayers would be justified in refusing to pay taxes, if the present exemption policy is continued, was made by Albert E. Uhl. a director, and state association president. The directors rejected a recommendation by the joint tax committee for reassessment of the mile square. Beard to Hear Penal Cases Seven state penal farm cases will be considered by the clemency board at its meeting Friday, it was announced today by Wayne Coy, secretary. None of the petitioners is from Marion county. JbCKFROST SUGAR Melody Moments fIATWINO JOSEF PASTERNACK WITH SAM HERMAN "WiM*d W die m |3Oc.S.T. Every Monday eve.

Round table discussions of banking problems will feature the annual convention of the Indiana Bankers’ Association here Tuesday and Wednesday, it was announced today by W. A. Codings, Crawfordsville, president. “Awakening of public interest in functions of banking institutions has been one good result of the depression,” Codings said, in issuing a cad for an assembly of bankers at the discussions. “With new laws permitting regional clearing house examinations, and exchange of credit information; with restrictions against some who would indulge in speculative banking, and with protection against possible delirium of unreasoning persons who hastily would withdraw confidences without justification, bank-

ers of Indiana today wed may assert that anew era dawns,” he said. Besides Codings, other association officers include Felix M. McWhirter, Indianapolis, vice-presi-dent; Oscar E. Lamble, Evansville, treasurer; Frank B. Bernard, Muncie, resolutions chairman, and Miss Forba McDaniel, secretary.
