Also an indisputable law. But there's room for argument. The same holds true when your coal bin is empty. The coal man is in the Sunny South and the thermometer hits a.new low. With indisputable laws in mind, let's take up the matter of fog. It's a cinch before these words 80 through the complete printing process the fog will be gone, I tried singing “Fog, fog, go’away, come back some other day,” but it didn't work. In the first place, therefore, let's ask the question: What is tog? (Please confine your answers to the scientific explanation if possible. It's hard, I know, I'm sick of the fog myself.) Fog is very thick mist as near as I can make odt from reading a number of experts on the subject.

ON- the other hand, a number of other experts caution the student of fog not to confuse is with fog because there “a definite distincion. ' ; Even though both, mist and fog, consist of a

NEW YORK, Dec. 15—Mr. Average America, the target for radio commercials, department store advertisements, the Bureau of Internal Revenue ! and all the other merchants of everything, every- ! where, is getting so departmentalized that .it's | small wonder you can't see his face. f Mr. Kinsey has put you privy to-his—boudoir | The readership experts have decided what he a wants to see in the paper, and Hooper supposedly SSON'S can tell you what he likes on the air.

Y HAVE here a report on ‘the man market,” an exhaustive survey of that harassed gentleman, the male consumer, that has finally wrapped the poor fellow in a mummy swaddle of secondguess. If you boys will just hold still, Papa will tell you what Crossley has to say about you. You prefer—underwear-without sleeves, Gar» ters are anathema to 73 per cent of you. Most of you sleep in both ends of your pajamas, summer and winter. You like blue suits best, and it makes no difference whether they lap over double or button single. White shirts set off your manly beauty—which is enhanced by the fact that 40 per cent of you shave once a day. You smell right high, too, because 47 per cent use. foo-foo water after shaving, 32 per cent slick down the hair with - fortified bear-grease, 28 per

odorants. You chew Sen-Sen or Cloves occasionally, too, because 68 per. cent-d@0 not shriek and flee when somebody suggests a noggin of booze.

a thin fog could be called a mist. Whether a fog

is a mist or a mist a fog depends on the degree w ; 4 Tear ’ . os on” : ; of obscurity, (I'm sorry that's as clear as I can! [ff 3 : a Goin arts To | If you think that's a bit unclear, we could Co » i y . ~ % wo » a ’ .

drag a cloud (mass of fog high in the air—higher| than the Monument) into the discussion and beat

it with a broom until the water particles are| i ? .- W - : . dispersed to the point where you can see through| ry : it and it becomes a mist. That is, the cloud ‘

which is a high fog is a mist when it isn’t very thick. ! : - ; It—might -be wise at this ‘point to take a. preather. While we're breathing, a fact that. pre-| cipitated on me might be of some interest. Better | than nothing. In 1826, when the great labor] disputes raged in Great Britain, there was an| improvement in the atmosphere of the country.’ In some circles in England it was believed for a| time that if the country didn’t burn coal the]

Anyway, there are three types of. fog. The! slight fog is where the horizon is not visible but lights and buildings can be distinguished. . The| slight fog is what seldom octurs in Indianapolis. A moderate fog is a condition where lights, landmarks are blurred when viewed under aj mile. A moderate fog rarely occurs here either,

Oh, Fog, Fog, Go Away

THE fog authorities also eaplaiped a thick fog to the effect that light and objects are. invisible at quarter of a mile and less. I got the: impression that the experts never experienced driving to work in this city at 7 and 8 in the morning. How is fog produced? Where does it come) from? Does it have any commercial uses? f Fog is produced when moist air near the sur-| race of -the-earth—¢streets, sidewalks and other| areas) is chilled so that the water vapor con- | denses. Fog also is produced when warm air moves across cold land or water and gets chilled to the point where the moisture eondenses, Try to remember that the warmer the air: the more moisture it can hold. That last bit of] mmformation seems like a good thing to know. Fog comes from anywhere except places like Sahara Desert and Death Valley. Places where, the dew point is just about nil. Fog -is.- very. prevalent in this locality where the dew point seems to be ideal. As. far as I could find out, fog doesn’t.,have any commercial uses and that’s another reason why! we shopid hate it. | About the most significant paragraph in the many perused stated that in large towns the stagnant ‘air becomes further polluted by dirt, smoke, dust and political hot air until the fog is intensified. Becomes something of a smog.

executives into the government's top-notch jobs. I'm inclined to agree with 'em. And I'd be the last fellow to withhold a $10,000 wage increase to officials who are going hungry at $15,000. But I can't help asking the experts about the incumbents. 'Smatter with ‘em? :

Present Company Excepted

IF $15,000 won't hire an official with brains, what About the gents now on the job? What have they got beneath their bald spots? Suet? That's the question that makes the big-wigs sputter. They go harumpf, and they say of course they intend no reflection on the present members of the Cabinet. These, they say, are exceedingly intelligent men, who are serving their country at ¥ great personal sacrifice. So if everybody kindly will believe that present company is excepted, we will go into a little detail on why it is impossible to hire a smart man to boss a government department at $15,000 a year. John E. Webb, the persuasive budget director; said, Mr. Truman wanted to pay his first-string Helpers: $25,000 a year, his second-stringers (including Director Webb). $22,500, and his thirdliners $20,000. There are 218 of these underpaid federal hirelings now, mostly earning from $10, . 000 to $15,000 a year,
