Why Florida Hurricanes
Bloom In September
(Continued from page one.)
for hurricanes are present in the
hurricane-breeding area only dur-}
ing the tropical storm perlod.‘
Such conditions exigt at and near
the equator all the year around,
but Mitchell explained that there
never are any hurricanes at the
equator, because the deflective
lorce of the eargh——which is an
other hurricane essential—is ab
solute zero at the equator. ‘
Turned by Earth’s Motign.
“All the southeastern hurr.canes
originate in the doldrums, which
rup from the coast of Sputh Am
erica to the Cape Verde Islands,”
Mitchell said. “The deflective
force of the earth's roation tends
to furn every moving body to the
right, so that a wind which startg
narth tends to the east. Inters
change of air from (he trade winds
t aas to establish the rotation
Wwhich makes cyclones,”
The so-caled doldrums form a
belt of calms ranging from near
the equator to a line of about 10
degrees morth latitude.
When peculiar atmospheric con
d'tions give birth to a storm, the
whirling disturbance begins to
draw in warm, moist air from
near the surface of the sea. The
air pressure beging to fall, and
both the rotary and the forward
motions of the storm are accentu
ated.
jAn inrushing air reaches the
center of the digturbance, it moves
move upward, and cirrus clouds
formations reaching perhaps hun
dreds of miles are formed.
Ranges Over Sea
Soon the dncipient hurricane be
comes full grown. It drives north
ward. Rain falls in torrents. The
wind attains almost incalculable
destructive force.
Once the hurricane moves in
land, it begins to d!ssipate. A big
body of water and an immense
regervoir of warm air are the ony
things that will keep it growing.
Over land, these factors are lack.
ing.
Weather authorities regard pure
ly as coincidence the fact that
the worst ‘stormg come near the
time of the autumnal equinox. At
mogpheric conditions peculiar o
September, not the equalization of
day and night, is the real explan.
ation of the September hurrizane.

thaet faced Him as a man indwelt

such a one we are to gather the

in our daily life, for everyone of

Last Prayer.
“This is the ast of Jesus’ re
markable prayers. In the record
ed prayers of Jesus, short though
they are, we really have a perfeet
picture of Christ. We have a pic
ture of Him such as we get no
where else. Study the prayers of
Jesus. This is the last and the
raost wonderful, the most wonder
ful' prayer ever uttered by any
soul, the most remarkable word
that was ever utvered, of any
character, from any source. . . .
“First, there is the address in
the prayer: ‘O my Father.” I
wish that I had the power to so ut
ter those words as to convey to
you something of their pathos, of
their deep significance, . . .
“And then we move from that
«ddress into the petition itself:
‘Let this cup pass from me.’ This
cup — strange expression, so
strange as to arrest our attention
and call for our examination.
What does He mean y this cup?
lithe community where I grew
up, we children had a way of tell
ing our fortunes by ‘ooking into
the dregs left in a coffee cup, and
we always wanted to look inside
tnis cup that Jesus sveaks of, just
a practical look, What did Jesus
see inside the cup that made Him
cry, as He did, that made Him
pray for de'iverance from it?
Saw [Reman Assembly.
“He saw first of all the assem
bling of Roman soldiers around
the gute, and He knew that soon‘
He would “e in their hands, and
what that meant. He saw the,
raixed multitude gathering with
‘staves in their hands to be at Him.
ille saw the plotting activity of
Judas, one of His trusted disciples.
‘He saw the lack of sympathetic
understanding of the three disci
%ples whom He had taken with
T im inside the Garden. the break
ing of the fellowship that he had
depended on in the hour of His
suffering. Disappointment of
{riendship possessed Him as He
vttered that prayer, and I do not
know anything that is more cal
culated to trouble one’s heart than
aisappointed friends‘nig, to have
‘a friend on whom yoli have re
itfed and in whom you have confid
ed as a friend, one with whom
yvou have enjoyed fellowship, to
heve that friend go back on you,
ond that at the time of your great
cst suffering—oh, how it would
¢ut to the heart and the soul of
our Lord He saw the treacherous
kiss of Judas, and nothing could
have been more revolting to Him,
more distunting to His sensitive
soul than such a hypocritical, dis
appointing, treacherous kiss. No
wonder it broke His heart. Look
ing still ahead He saw Peter’s de
nial of Him; and still further
ahead He saw himse!f nailed to a
cross, and lifted up on that cross
as it was planted in the ground,
and He saw himself remaining
there until He breathed His last.
He saw the mocking multitude
that gathered about to buffet and
make svort of Him; He saw all
sorts of humanity in that multi
tude, the rich and the poor, offi
ciels of the state and officials of
the church, all standing there in
that great erowd mocking Him as
He suffered upon the cross. No
wonder He prayed that prayér.
Did Not Stop.
“But, thank God, He did not
stop there in that prayer. There
is the finzl acquiescence with the
wil! of God: ‘Nevertheless not
my will but thine be done.’ And
in that last utterance we have
deity and humanity so closely en
wrapping each other that they
never have scparsted any more.
Let me urge that this acquiescencze‘
that characterized this last prayer
of Jesus becoine the acquiescence
of every sou! that knows Jesus.
and for that matter of every soul
that knows not Jesus. May we
come to the place where Jesus
came, and say of a truth as we
face life, whether of hardship or
pleasure, disappointment or not,
‘nevertheless not as I will but as
Thou wilt We talk about the
high peaks in Christian experi
ence. This is the highest peak of
all ' experience, the peak that
vierces “eyond any cloud and ve
mauins in the never-failing, never
setting sun of the eternal will of
God, and when one gets upon that
peak the rest of the world is
easy for him to bear; whether it
bas in it stings or not, from that
high altitude it is easy to bear
iife’s disappointments. It is only
‘when we are in the fogs ourselves
that the disappointments of life
Lreak us. There is no disappoint
‘ment to the man who stands upon
‘that highest peak of the will of
God.
‘ “Let me say to you in my clos
ing word that the one great su
preme need of this very hour in
which we live is to bring men and
women to the place where they
will actually surrender themselves
and al!l that they have, their busi
ness, their occupation, their time,
their service, their homes, their
everything, all to Christ, Oh, it is
a day when the heart of Jesus is
beating as never before that He
might have a chance to take this
world of mankind and manipulate
lit so as to praise His name and
| make it glorify man as God in
;tended man should be glorified.
‘Neverthe'ess not my will but
thine be done.’ Let us try to bring
ourselves to that point. . . .
“The time has come for the
church to come back and fall back
npon the one thing that has neyer
failed and cin never fail. God
has n:vei‘-!ajlal; “Bti)s will' work

“GASTON” MARTIN GETS A VISIT
FROM SANTA OUT OF SEASON AND
MAKES LIFE MISERABLE FOR THE
SECOND FLIGHTERS BY SENDING
“ALFONSE” SOULE TO THEIR RANKS
By “Gaston” Himself !
Well, you boys who are to make
up the second flight in the cha -
pionship golf tourney of the Ath
ens Country Club got a hari
punch and a stiff wollop Wednes
day afternoon when the first up
set of ‘tourney happened and one
of your should be chosen flight
ers, nteaning no other than ‘Gas
tor. Martin, ecaught Alfonse Soule
way down south on his game and
sent him to your ranks to battle
for the prize you are to scrambl2
for instead of remaining as one
of the bidders for first honors.
Too bad, mates, even on the
winner of that match. Now Gas
ton is perched up among the elect
to be knocked off by the next
real golfer who happens along
when maybe he might have had a
chance at the money in that sec
ond division. 5
With Alfonse shooting a gam~°
that he was anything but proud
of, turning with a ragged 46, and
a few of Gaston’s own shots hit
ting the bull's eye, what should
have been a one-sided match turn
ed into one that even Archie
Griffith and Joe Myers, who were
making out the foursome, finally
got interested in, that is until it
ran into the 19th and 20th holes
then they got disgusted and de
serted the game.
Gaston has been carrying a
midiron around in his bag for
about seven years with it doing
practically nothing but adding ex
tra weight for the caddy and now
he is going to frame it and hang
it up with that old army dis
charge. It performed at least one
noble shot even if it was serving
out of scason. The round was bat
tled along through the 19th hole
without either ever heing over one
up the cntire way and Gaston
knew he was sunk when Alfonse’s
second shot iay three freet from
the green and Gaston’s was in the
bunker to the right. Gaston just
did manage to get out on the
third and then that old midiron
came into service when it was
grabbed for a try at a roll for
the cup, a dubber’s shot but ‘a
sweet one when it works. This
one worked, the ball bounding
over about 20 feet of fairway and
then trickling over about 50 feet
of green to plunk into the bucket
for a four. Alfonse chipped up
close to the pin but his putt rim-l
med the cup and sat down four
inches away and a travesty on
the game was enacted because |

" That was a mean trick to. play
on those second flighters as well

again will a midiron pinch hit so
‘disastrously for a mashie niblick
Here's the way the holes ran:
A'fonse went one up with a par at
one; two was halved with pars;
three was halved in regular Al
fonse-Gaston styie; four went as
it should be played, in pars; Al
fonse’s drive to five was caught
by a bunker and the match was
squared; the sixth went into the
funnies again, but Alfonse out-
Gastoned his opponent and slipped
to one down but picked it up at
the seventh at par; the eighth
sent the match square again when
Alfonse was canght by the rough
and Gaston chipped out of the
trap with a lucky shot. Both had
fives at the ninth and both putts
at ten stopped one grass stem's
weight from fours. The eleventh
was squared when Alfonse got
generous with a putt and the
match went square at the twelfth
when Alfonse had a beauty pa;
the 13th was squared and Alfonse
took the 14th to go one up when
Gaston’s tee shot got funny and
dived for the well. Alfonse’s sec
ond shot to the 15th shanked off
to the right and Gaston evened
the. score once more. Sixteen‘
was halved ana neither bragged; |
the 17th found both in the trars

up for a four; Gaston conceded the
18th when the woods attracted his
ball, and the 19th was square(li
when Alfonse sunk the longe :tl
putt of the afternoon and then
came that gift from Santa Claus
at the 20th. X
Maybe Gaston should have fol
lowed that other match around
vesterday and told you how Wat
