o by 5 ahiw . PR Producing Cool Weather by Gas Diffusion. By the Assoclated Préss. Producing cool ‘weather by diffusing gas %hrough the atmosphere, as has been suggested by a German inventor, is a good idea, in the opinion of Wil- liam ~ J. Humphreys, meteorological fhyslcm of the Weather Bureau—only it cannot be worked. Dr. Humphreys placed the proposal of Christian Smudt Alexander to cool Havana by releasing gas at an altitude of 300 to 500 feet in the same cate- gory with hundreds of suggestions for E:cflcll rain-making, all of which he scouted. Sound Well, but Don’t Work. “They sound well, but they don't work,” said Dr. Humphreys. “The best chance would be to release liquefied air or another gas much colder than the atmosphere. Assuming that gas 100 de- grees colder than the air's temperature could be obtained, it would be neces- sary ot release 125,000 tons of it— at an altitude of 500 feet—in order to reduce the temperature 10 degrees over an area of 1 square mile,” Such a volume would be necessary, he explained, because gases when mixed reach a mean temperature. He com- puted the 125,000 tons on the basis of volume and weight, assuming that gas 100: degrees colder would reduce one- tenth of its volume by 10 degrees. Proposal Impracticable. “This is offered merely to demon- strate the utter impracticability of the proposal,” added Dr. Humphreys. “Even this computation presupposes an abso- lutely windless day. Otherwise the cold gas would drift indefinitely, doing no | good at the carth's surface.” Furthermore, the Government scien- tist argued, merely decreasing tempera- ture would not eliminate discomfort, which results, he reminded, largely from humidity. More fundamental, he suggested, would be a plan to remove the moisture from the air in dwellings, simultaneously with cooling it by re- frigerating systems. ’ Y. W. C. A.

The carnival opened with a base ball game between the juniors and seniors in col- orful costumes. All other campers, in costumes of every type and color, were led by the cheer leaders in yells and songs for their respective teams. The senior cheer leaders were Inge Von Lewinski and Elizabeth Jenkins, and the juniors were cheered to victory by Amy Veerhoff and Doris Tucker. After ! the game supper was served to the huge crowd from the vari-colored booths spe- gially built and decorated for the event. At sunset time a flower-decked gondola came into view around Campfire Point bringing the carnival queen and her maidens. The gondolier, Eleanor West- ergren, sang delightful melodies which came softly across the water to the; expectant crowd lining the shore. The | queen, Amy Veerhoff, who had been elected by the campers, with her maids, | Betty Alexander and Lorraine Gerardi, were greeted at the pier by the Governor of Maryland and his pages, imperson- ated by Miss Mabel R.. Cook and the camp_counselors. The queen was es- corted to her chariot (a country buggy in disguise) and presented with the key begins, made to Kamp Kahlert by the governor. The pages then drew the chariot to recrea- tion hall and escorted the queen into the ballroom, where she and her maid- ens mounted the elaborate throne. The guests then passed in review and the queen presented a blue ribbon to the pages for their unique costumes. Red ribbons were presented to Florence Hodge and Grace Hazard for the most original costumes. Mary Middleton, Nell Griffith, Kate Reilly, Myrtle Stevens and Venita Hinkle composed the orches- tra and, led by Annabelle Linthicum, furnished delightful music for the eve- ning. The Mardi Gras closed with a eou?lon led by the queen and the gov- l ernor. Tuesday evening, after the program, RESORTS. FISHING POINT HOTEL 1S OPEN i C. J. Ulery, Proprietor Pearsons. St. Mary's Co.
