Shanghai was excluded because of its hybrid internationalism — but Nankingers believe that the eapital should have a relation to Shanghal like Washington has to New York. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek { himself favors Sian, capital 6f Shensi province, which is so far inland as to correspond with Chicago. But Bn f or poverty of communications excludes Sian. Peipingers argue that China must have a eapital which acts as a Linchpin between Manchuria, Communist China and Nationalist China.

tornado seldom .1asts longer than an hour and in any bneé place rarely meré than a’ minute. The average path is'about 30 miles long and only 1000 feet wide, so narrow that the U. 8. Weather bureau advises that if underground shelters are not available one should try to Xun out of the path of thé approaehing storm. The : tornado itself is" a whirling vertex or funnel of winds, reaching ‘high up inte the sky. It travels from 26 to 40 miles an. hour in most cases; occasionally less than 10 or more than 60. The velocity of its whirling winds has never been measured but, judging by the destruction they do, engineers say their speed must reach 300 to 600 miles an hour. In the storm's center a slight vacuum is created which is responsible for many of the astonishing feats credited to tornadoes. When this area of low pressure surrounds a house it literally eauses the structure to explode, because of the higher normal atmospheric pressure remaining in the house, which must have immediate outlet.
