FEB—4 FORECASTS AIDED BY NEW SYSTEM “Air Mass Analysis,” Adopt- ed by Bureau Year Ago, Proves Effective. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) Important advances in weather forcasting have taken place as a result of the Weather Bureau's decision a | year ago to develop its forecasting | service along the newer lines of what | is known as “air mass analysis.” | It definitely has shown its value| in the following ways: Forecasting precipitation—rain and snow; fore- casting thunderstorms and their prol able movements; forecasting the prob- able occurrance and intensity of “bumpiness,” which is of special in- terest to airplane pilots; forecasting maximum temperatures, and forecast- | ing the probable “ceiling,” or helgm: of clouds, and the occurrance of ice formation on aircraft. Several years probably will be re- | quired to enable air mass analysis to | show fully what it can do, but the first year's progress shows its possi- bilities. | Short Period Success. This is especially true in the case | of the short-period forecasts for @ few hours ahead, such as are issued at night for frosts the next morn- ing. This type of forecasts finds its greatest use in districts where citrus fruits and garden truck crops are extensively grown. At present it is furnished in an_intensive way in| comparatively few sections of the country and its extension to other regions would yield very important economic benefits. Another example of the short-period forecasts is that issued for flying activities along the Nation's far-flung network of civil airways. These fore- casts cover, as a rule, a period of 4 to 6 hours and must be very precise and accurate. Air mass analysis is a particularly valuable aid in making this intensive and detailed type of forecast. Progress along this line has been possible chiefly because of the greater abundance of information regarding upper air conditions than was form- erly available. This has come about largely through the use of airplanes that carry so-called “‘earometeoro- graphs,” which bring back to earth a continuous record of temperature, pressure and moisture up to heights averaging 3!2 miles. The War and Navy Departments are co-operating in this program which at the present time is providing data from 22 stations. The flights are made early enough in the morning so that the information can be used for the daily forecasts. Air Characteristics.

OME of the romantic and color- | ful atmosphere of 1652 may be brought back soon to Surry | County, Va., through the re- | modeling and preservation of the home of Thomas Warren, which is one of the oldest brick houses in Virginia. | 'The old house, now the property | of the Association for the Preserva- | tion of Virginia Antiquities, stands on a tract of land deeded to his pretty | daughter Pocahontas, and her hus- band, John Rolfe, by the famous old | Indian King, Powhatan, in 1645.

The old azi Selective Youth Training Bars Defectives' heights and this enables the fore- | casters to determine the extent and the interactions of the various masses of air from different sources and to project their development and move- ments into the future more accurately than has been possible in the past. Although chief progress in improv- | ing forecasts through air mass analy- | sis has been experienced in the case of the short, highly specialized type of forecast, the value of the appli- cation of this system also to the reg- ular 24 to 36 hour daily forecasts is already becoming apparent. In numerous cases the additional upper air information, particularly of temperature, humidity and wind movement, have resulted in better forecasts than would have been pos- sible with surface data only. A striking instance occurred in the Mississippi Valley on October 24, 1934, when the weather map indicated the likelihood of general rains. The air- plane and balloon observations, how- ever, showed that dry air was coming in from the West at the levels where rain ordinarily forms. CYCLE RIDER IS HURT Passenger Is Injured in Collision With Auto. Harvey Wood, 25, of the 1300 block of L street southeast suffered concus- sion of the brain, a fractured collar bone and cuts about the face when the motor cycle on which he was riding collided last night at Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue south- east with an automobile driven by A. B. Moore, 39, of 308 Virginia avenue southeast. Wood, according to police, was riding on a motor cycle operated by George L. Van Wert, 25, of the 500 block of Second street. Both men were treated at Providence Hospital, Van Wert for minor scalp lacerations. He was charged with reckless driving.

This Capital City has never heard 8 speech from Mrs. John N.

The rules | which Rust worked out with the Racial | and Political Bureau of the National | Socialist (Nazi) party, demand con- tinuous examination of all students, both boys and girls, aspiring to higher sical condition, character, mentality and general nationalist aptitude. Defectives Are Barred. Accordingly, pupils with physical | defects affecting their vital strength and with inherited illnesses will not | be admitted. Those who do not | groom themselves properly, notwith- | standing admonitions from teachers, | will be dismissed. The same applies to those who fail in gymnastics and sports because of an unwillingness to acquire “physical hardness.” In regard to morals, misbehavior in school or out, permanent “lack of com- radeship” and infraction of the rules | of order and honesty will lead to ex- | | pulsion. In selecting the most intelligent | students not the amount of knowledge they have acquired will determine their eligibility for more education, but their general capacity for think- ing and the degree of security required for their respective classes. | Non-Aryans Status. Dealing with the best students from the national viewpoint, it is decreed | that “non-Aryans” must not be granted subsidies so long as “Aryans” do not enjoy them generally. Those revealing a hostile attitude toward the community or state must be dis- | missed. | In promoting a student to a higher | class, the teacher must consider moral | and physical qualities more than the amount of actual knowledge gained. It is ruled that any student who seems qualified for leadership shall be fa- vored in every respect. (Copyright. 1935.) . Gallery Head to Speak.

Raids by Federal agents and District police yesterday netted 1,000 gallons of liquor and a 75-gallon still, and | resulted in the arrest of three men. Sam Foti, 37, and Sam Lamanna, 45, were taken into custody after the vice squad discovered the still in the 500 block of Virginia avenue south- east. Benny Wolfson, 30, of 1116 Holbrook street northeast, was arrested in front of his home, where Treasury Depart- ment agents found 65 gallons of whisky. Fotl and Lamanna were charged with violation of the liquor tax law, possession of an unlicensed still and manufacture of liquor without a per- | mit.
