However, a little thirg like rain doesn't take the spirit out of Oma harts, as was amply demonstrated by the manner in which the folks adjusted themselves. Mary who l;r.d planned on the public or amuse ( ' n'ent parks, miickly switched to the movies, which had record crowds 'i Vithin their gates y Many there , were, also, who declined to let the vcsther dictate terms- for the. day to them. These went to the parks as per rchedule, and there spread their lunches under shelters or in their automobiles. "It's cool, anyway," declared the optimists, "and that's a lot to be thankful for."

In spite. fit the early rains, the barbecue and frolic at Fort Crook yesterday was a huge success, of ficers and men at the fort fend the civilians who particiBated agreed. The only effect of the showers in the mortiing was 'in postponing the ' beginning of the aivities from 11 a. m. until lMn the afternoon. ; At that hou rthe skies were clearing, the crowd gathering, the fires under the beef sizzling, so the .program of sports- was begun. A greased pig chase awaken edthe most hilarity. An active porker was liberally-coated with lard and given a 25-yard start on the crowd. He was able to elude his scrambling pursuers for several minutes, and at the same time transfer a consider able portioirot his oleous coating to their, hands an dclothing. , Paul Hubva, 18 years of age, won this contest and the pig at the same time, when he got scissors hold and wrist lock on the animal.

Copyright, 1929, by the Wheeler Syn V -f-1 , dlctte. Inc.) The rise, and" fall of large bodies of water a phenomenon to which we have applied the name of . "tides" is the result of the influence exerted t upon the earth .by the moon an'd the sun. Both of these bodies ' pull or attract t&e earth in varying de grees, the power of the moon being about two and a quarter times as great as. that of the sun. This attraction is naturally most evident in the fluid portion of the earth surface the oceans and larger lakes which are so affected as to bulge ' outward, forming a rising of tbe'water on the side of tlft earth nearest the moon and also on the opposite side, corressponding "low water" in ' between. The reason for extreme high tides at the time of the new and full moon is because the moon is then in conjunction or in a line with the sun and the water re dacts to the rombined pull of both bodies. At the time of the first and third quarters of the moon, however, this influence is divid ed the single-unit pull of the sun acting at right angles to the two and one-quarter-unit pull of the moon, thus materially . aiminisnmg ine attraction ex erted upon Jhe earth and pro ducing "neap" tides, o those which do not rise nearly so high as the ones occurring during the time of the full or new moon. . As the moon appears to revive about the earth once every 24 hours and 48 minutes, two tidal waves continually sweep around beneath it, causing two high vtides and two low tides in each ..approximate day. These tides are simply a rising or falling of the 1 ?water a perpendicular motion Pich is changed to a horizontal Movement only on account of ine snape or tne iana or tne de crease ir) the depth of the water.
