hie with the weathe - in Mlanta this

stumbles In very late
This meteorology, a I jamboree, so to
speak. Is caused b\ a plethora of at
mospheric pressure Kxcesshc atmos
pheric pressure has the same effe. t
upon the weather is a quart of whisk)
has upon the human form.
Here's the Plain Truth.
For Instance, as Professo, VonHerr
mann explained Xtlanta has a normal
atmospheric pressure of 29.9 inches
Just now it has a pressure of 3fi 1
inches, and as even a tenth of an inch
excess atmospheric pressure Is equiv
alent to a barrel of booze, anybody can
see why it is that the weather situa
tion isn't a situation at all, but an orgy.
That's why it's tn silly, as Directed
VonHerrmann explained, for a fellow
to call him up from the shelter of n
s'nrner cigar store and ask him if he
doesn't think he'd bettei change his
fair weather sign to one that says at
least somewhat cloudy, because it's
been raining pitchforks for two boors.
Director VonHerrmann explained that
this-fellow-is <Hl>) for more Ilian one
reaeon Because, in the first place, the
weather bureau hangs out Its weather
signs as prognostications for the day
after
“We don't get paid bi the govern
ment." he said, "to predict the weather
that's already happening Sortie hu
morous persons say that we're getting
paid for predicting the weather that is
not going to happen, hut I'll pass that,
be, ause, while the national weather
bureau forbids us to ve'tfx our fore
casts. I am pretty sure that we've been
right nine times out of ten even Oils
summer."

"Here's thr point." -xplained Dire.- ■

In view of the bureau's success in
[prognosticating the weather so far this
I summer the reporter asked Director
VonHerrmann if he thought we were
going to have these fair weather del
uges right along up to Christmas
I Mirectoi VonHerrmann replied with
i bo. onilng modesty that he didn't care
to make an explicit forecast on ac
count of the abnormal atmospheric
pH ssuri but he aid that aei olding to
tto wcatlio averages h< thought thete
wouldn't tn any great lot.up in tain
storms until September. Then he said
it would probably slough off sufficiently
so as to bring the rainfall of the year
to just about normal, which Is 19
Inches here He said ho couldn't fore
tell Ibis with the usual certainty be
cause here It Is only the middle of July
and we lack hut five Inches of equalling
th< whole years normal fall. He was
a little mot e < onfused over the situa

also throttled another proposal to mike
a new county of several slices of Ap
pling. Ware and Coffee, and to call it
Aiken.
There were two delegations on hand
from Berrien. One urged the new coun
ty of Cook. The other advised against
it. When it came to a vote, the new
county men lost out 11 to 2. The bill
will be reported adversely, and '-an nor

The Aiken county proposal hardly got

JACKSONVILLE-BRUNSWICK
ROAD SHORTENED 15 MILES
BRUNSWICK. GA.. July 17.—A new
public road has just been completed
through Camden county, which short
ens the distance between Jacksonville
and Brunswick fifteen miles. The new
road also does away with the portion
of sandy and rough roads south of the
St. Marys river, which has made the
Brunswick-Jacksonville highway so
unpopular to automobilists traveling
, this section.
