OUR WEATHER BORN
IN FARAWAY PLACES
Poles and the Equator Fun
damental Breeding Areas.
Washington, D. C. —Where does our
weather come from? Many an Ameri
can has asked that question lately, for
weather has been making some of the
biggest headlines. One of the severest
winters of the Twentieth century,
devastating spring floods, and, more
recently, tornadoes, have kept “weath
er” on the front page.
“Weather, with its showers, clouds
and winds, may seem a local thing, but
actually the weather of the United
States is born in faraway places—
Arctic ice fields, the steaming-hot trop
ics, the blue waters of the Gulf of
Mexico, and the foggy northern Pa
cific,” says the National Geographic
society.
“The poles and the Equator are the
fundamental weather breeders. Air,
cooled at the poles, falls toward the
earth’s surface and flows toward the
Equator. There it is heated, rises
again, and flows back toward the poles
once more.
“But because the earth is whirling
on its axis, and its surface is broken
up by mountain chains, river valleys,
oceans and continents, this flow of air
between Equator and poles is far from
smooth. It moves in fits and starts
and often meanders off its course.
In Eternal Turmoil.
“The thick air blanket covering the
earth therefore is kept in eternal tur
moil. Huge, mountainous masses of
cold air from the poles and warm air
from the tropics battle each other
unceasingly and from their struggles
comes the weather that we know.
“When warm and cold air masses
collide, vast areas of high and low
atmospheric pressure are formed, known
to the weather man as’highs’ and ‘lows’
for short. Atmospheric pressure is the
weight of air above any point.
“In a ‘high,’ cold air moves down
ward in the center of the area, piling
up a greater weight or pressure of air
than normal. W’arm winds flow around
and outward from the center, in an
anti-clockwise direction. Fair weather
comes with ‘highs,’ for the downward
moving cold air forms no clouds.
“In' a ‘low’,’ warm air rises in the
center, forced up by cold air flowing
inward around the edges in a clock
wise direction. The rising air re
duces the pressure at the surface be
low normal. As the warm air rises it
is cooled, its moisture is condensed
and falls as rain. Hence ‘lows’ bring
storms, rain and snow.
“Across the United States, from west
to east, moves a steady parade of al
ternate ‘high’ and ‘lows,’ and with
them they bring the nation’s weather.
They move as much as 500 miles per
day, as far as one might drive in an
automobile, and cover areas ranging
up to half the continent.
“Lows” Bring Storms.
"Out over the north Pacific ocean,
south of the Aleutian island chain,
hangs a more or less permanent ‘low.’
In its center rises warm air heated by
the warm Japanese current, while cold
air from the Arctic pushes in at its
sides. From it comes a large propor
tion of the ‘lows’ that bring storms and
wet weather to the United States,
breaking off from the parent ’low’ like
small bubbles from a big one, and
moving steadily east. Other ‘lows’
form over the United States itself,
when cold currents from the Arctic and
warm, moist breezes from the Gulf of
Mexico collide.
“Fair weather, brought by ‘highs,’ has
more widespread birthplaces. They
range from the northern and southern
Pacific to Alberta and Hudson bay in
Canada.
“In winter many cold waves are
brought by chill Arctic air masses that
flow southward via the great Macken
zie river valley of northwest Canada
or byway of Hudson bay farther east
“Almost always America’s weathei
flows from west to east, fair weathei
and foul alternating in the eternal pro
cession of the highs’ and lows.’ Only
w’hen a ‘high’ or a ‘low’ neeomes
‘stalled’ over a single region does one
kind of weather, such as drouth or
a cold w’ave, persist for an unusual
length of time.”
Encouraged!
Last week it was made clear at the
White House that some of the spee
ches originally planned by the presi
dent during the campaign will be
abandoned. President Roosevelt is re
ported greatly encouraged over the
prospects for his re-election.
THEY SAY.
“The rain fell on Ballard’s place in
abundance, but he’s rich and doesn’t
want for anything; and here I see
poor people with their crops two
thirds ruined and still wanting for
rain.”
I was riding across the country
with one of God’s common men. The
day before he had been riding with
a rich planter across his extended
acres which had just been refreshed
with a beautiful shower of rain. The
section we were then passing through
was needing rain badly. We saw the
toilers in the scorched fields work
ing a wretched stand, for it hadn’t
rained there much since before the
fields were planted.
My friend’s heart went out in sym
pathy for those poor people as they
toiled almost against hope, and this
remark fell from his lips:
“The rain fell on Ballard’s place in
abundance, but he’s rich and doesn’t
want for anything; and here 1 see
poor people with their crops two
thirds ruined and still wanting rain.”
And I thought: “There is a Wis
dom so far above man’s wisdom that
when we see it manifested it seems
like foolishment to us!”

Power Debate.
The third world power conference,
which met in Washington, was at
tended by some 3,000 i delegates from
fifty-two nations. The addresses and
discussions covered a number of sub
jects but the most intense debate over
government generation and sale of
current. Private utility spokesmen
pointed to abundant service at low
prees in America, but government
representatives found these inade
quate, told of difficulties in holding
down rates and cited the success of
public plants in achieving this goal
through competition.
Labor Rests.
The battle between the groups
which have split the ranks of organiz

until after the American Federation
of Labor takes final action and ex

the same time a showdown is expect
ed in the efforts to organize steel
workers.
