By ROGER WAIT Staff Writer If toward noon, you ever pass that square, sawed -off pagoda-like white structure on stilts north of Brace Laboratory of Physics, you may see a man btanding on tiptoe to extract information from its in nards. That man will probably be an employee of the U.S. Weather Bu reau taking a temperature reading, one of the hundreds of hourly tem perature readings taken all over the U.S. and the world. From such widespread readings of temperature and air pressure an from daily ovservations of prevail ing weather conditions, W. R. Ste vens, meteorologist in cnarge of the Lincoln Weather Bureau said Monday, weather predictions are made. "The main thing we watch for," Stevens said, "is the development Of high and low pressure centers and their related fronts, which are the lines of difference between warm and cold air masses." From this and other information, he said, precipitation can be roughly pre dicted. Stevens', who is also a lecturer in meteorology at the University, said that precipitation is measured from the accumulation of rain which falls into a cylindrical pan. It can be measured he added, down to the hundredth of an inch. Thf science of weather forecast ing. Stevens pointed out, is based on "study and experience com-i bined." At the present time, he said it is 85 per cent accurate in the U.S. ' Meteorology," he commented. know." But, he said, "of course,! we are trvins: to improve it all the I V time." Any improvement in accuracy, Stevens went on, must be based on well-known laws of physics. But, he said, too little is known about the motions of the atmosphere. If more were known, Stevens indicated, through continuous and simultane ous observations of the atmos phere's currents, that advances would be forthcoming. "But," he said, "it is humanly impossible to have such observation." Some mathematicians, he said, "have proved that absolutely ac curate forecasts cannot be made." But they are accurate enough, he added. 4- Third Annual 'Homemakers Day' Scheduled Speakers from Nashville, Tenn., and Pittsburg, Penn. will be feature at the third annual Homemakers Day to be held Friday. This event is being sponsored jointly by the University home eco nomics staff and home extension staffs and the Home Economics As sociation of Homemakers.
