Air mass analysis the newest weather forecasting aid is going in to general use at the field stations of the U. S. Weather Bureau, includ ing those along the airways, W. R. Cregg, chief of the bureau announced' today. After several months of pre - liminary work, specially trained' meteorologists in the central office in Washington, D. C, are now able to map the various air masses and their boundaries, or "fronts," with greater accuracy than heretofore possible, Mr. Gregg says. These new air mass maps help round out the whole weather picture which the forecaster must have before him as he makes his deductions about coming conditions. Formerly he worked with maps show ing only the more general conditions in the atmosphere as wirelessed or wired in each morning to the Weath er Bureau from all around the globe. Under the new arrangement, which goes into effect at once, a summary based on the 8 a. m. weather map and describing existing air masses and their fronts will be transmitted, by airway radio and by teletype, daily, except Sundays and holidays, from the central office. From those sum maries, maps will be prepared at the various forecasting centers in the field. Mr. Gregg says the summaries will serve also as a check on the in dividual deductions of field observers in the practical application of air mass data, une Duueuns irom me central office will embody the con clusions of the best trained air mass analysts in the bureau. Finding and naming the air masses Mr. Gregg explains, gives the fore caster a third dimension for his study of the conditions that determine weather.- As the term is used in fore casting, an air mass is an aggregation of air having fairly definite char acteristics, such as pressure, mois ture, and temperature, throughout, even when it is big enough to cover a whole group of states, or even most of the continent. These air masses constantly move from one part of the earth to another. The boundaries of air masses their fronts are not steep walls. They have a gradual lope, which lets the warmer air over run the colder currents, lnis causes rain in much the same way as when warm air is forced up a mountain slope. Pronounced weather changes at the earth's surface are most likely to occur near these fronts. To the forecaster, . a "warm front" is the line of advance of warm air moving into space formerly occupied by a cold air mass. A "cold front" is the ad vancing boundary of cold air dis placing a mass of warm air. Weathermen have divided air masses into 13 groups "polar con tinental," originating over northern or western Canada; "polar Pacific," air that comes from tha northern Pacific ocean; "tropical Gulf," from the Gulf of Mexico; and so on. The trick in using air mass analysis for forecasts, Mr. Gregg says, is to know the direction and rate of move ment of air masses and, particularly, to figure out just when and where two contrasting masses will interact to produce storms. A small group of meteorologists have been specially trained to track these air masses day by day. They get their most useful information from observations ob tained by daily airplane flights at 25 specially equipped stations. The pos sibility of error in picking out in significant air masses for the fore caster's use is always present, espe cially for the western part of the weather map of the .United States. There is no way to check up on air mass movements in the western part of the Pacific ocean. The day-by-day sequence of events in the sky on which the forecasters depend in judg ing what kind of weather is coming cannot, therefore, be traced as far back in their history in the far west as can be done on the east coast. Fronts along the Pacific coast can be identified only from their most re cent behavior. As a further aid in the practical application of air mass analysis, Mr. Gregg adds, two extra observations particularly useful in identifying air trasses equivalent potential emper ature and specific humidity will be included in the airplane weather re ports sent out each day over the air way radio and the teletype system that connects approximately i"5,000 miles of airways and weather sta tions. These data will be given for each elevation at which temperature, pressure and relative humidity are now reported. "See It before you ouy It." GUARD BEEE DANIELS' HOME ' Santa Monica, Calif. Armed guards patroled the estate of Bebe Daniels and her husband, Ben Lyon, after they received letters threaten ing Lyon's life and intimating that their 4 year old child might be kid naped.

Hol land was adjudged insane after har assing Lyon and Miss Daniels with annoying letters. Lyon said he un derstood Holland no longer was con- fined to the asylum in Patton . B. Banning Comments on De partment W ork Diretcor of State Agricultural Depart ment Reviews Activities of His Branch of Government. Director W. B. Banning, of the state department of agriculture, com menting on the workings of his de partment, has issued the followin; statement to the press of the state: "In giving out the monthly record breaking reports on collection of the gas tax, I am not looking for any roses or credit of any kind. I am seeking no public office. My many years of public service places me on the list of old "political war horses,' however, it has always been my am bition to work with a public service organization, the members of which did not look upon their jobs as poll tical plums. The employees of the Department of Agriculture and In spection are responsible for the work the department is doing and should receive the credit. , I have never seen a more efficient or conscientious group of men and women, either in public service or private business. Of course, my ambition could not have been realized had Governor Cochran not have demanded an efficient or ganlzation instead of a political set up. "Gas tax collections for September, 1935, are again running far ahead of collections for the same month a year ago, even though there are 13,821 less motor vehicles in operation. The gas tax collected for September, 1934 was $720,620.22. Gas tax collected for September this year amounts to $788,167.71, when this going to press. (The gain in gas tax for the year will run over $1,000,000.) "The collection of the gas tax is only one of the many duties of the Department of Agriculture and In spection. The other departments are operating just as efficiently. How ever, in most of the other duties, concrete figures are not available as the work is of a different nature, most of it being along co-operative and educational lines. "My hat goes off to the employees of this department and I am sure the public wants efficiency. "W. B. BANNING, "Director of Agriculture and Inspection." GETS SOUVENIR OF CRASH Omaha. Dr. Victor Levine, Creigh ton university proiessor, returned home Monday from his third Alaskan trip. He went to' Alaska last June to study the habits of Eskimos. Dr. Levine brought home with him a bottle of headache medicine sal vaged from the wrecked plane in which Rogers and Wiley Post were killed. Dr. Levine was aboard a coast guard boat off Point Barrow when the Rogers-Post plane crashed. He saw the wreckage a day later. "In America, souvenir hunters would have torn the wreck to pieces, but up there, the Eskimos just stood around, never offering to touch it," Dr. Levine said. "Everything in the plane had been smashed to smith ereens except this bottle. Headache pills and powders were scattered all over the countryside." HEEDS ORACLE'S WARNING Addis Ababa. Emperor llaile Se lassie was advised by his principal oracle and soothsayer that if he went to Dessye before his coronation anni versary Nov. 2, evil might befall.

The emperor, thereupon, decided to observe his coronation ceremony Nov. 2, and, on Nov. 3, to participate In the elaborate festival of St. George, and depart for Dessye afterward.
