A declaration that the sterm was causing “twice as much” damage as any previous dust storm this spring because it was the first “hot” wind of the season was made here by O. 'W. Roberts, veteran federal meteor- ologist. A new wind record for April is in Prospect here this month, Roberts said, pointing to previous high winds on April 10, 11, 14 and 18. Though the “official” reading was much lower than 60 miles per hour, Roberts said, the wind actually blew that fast according to the wind meas- urement scale with the four-cup ane- mometer in use prior to Jan. 1, 1928. He changed the scale so that with high winds for April of previous years. The highest previous April wind, he said, was 74 miles per hour jin April of 1878. Is Worst This Year Saturday's was the worst dust storm here so far this year. Velocity of the wind during the dust storm of April 10 was 48 miles per hour; April 11, fifty-four miles; April 14, forty-five; and April 18, fifty-five miles per ¥ Saturday’s wind was particularly damaging in view of the fact that Bis- marck’s rainfall for the last five years is eight inches below normal and mois- ture is “at a premium,” Roberts said. The storm moved from the north- northwest in a south-southeasterly direction. Dust storms this month previous to Saturday's were accompanied by “‘cool” winds which did not take moisture from the soil.so rapidly. Not only were farmers and busi- nessmen perturbed by the damaging wind but citizens, particularly house- wives, throughout the state gnashed their teeth as the wind raised havoc with spring cleaning work and soiled clothing—to say nothing of dust work- ing its way into the eyes, ears, noses and hair of unfortunate individuals out-of-doors: The wind, however, is due to sub- side Sunday, accompanied by cooler weather, the official forecast said. | WARNS MERCHANTS ABOUT POST CARDS Says ‘Reply’ Card Often Sub- terfuge, With Letter Post- age Required Declaring that many Bismarck bus- inessmen are violating postal regula- tions by mailing monthly statements to patrons on double postcards, Post- master Walter Sather Saturday urged that all businessmen immediately fa- miliarize themselves with postal regu- lations and abide by them.
