The forecasts illustrate trends of tho next 28 days' weather and will hit about two out of three times. HAT MIHt ii I I I TEMPERATURE The timing bar or calendar illustrates the expected periods of rainfall arid high and low temperatures for tho next 28 days. If a cold period appears on the timing bar, or calendar, it means that the day or days indicated will be significantly colder than the long-time average temperature for that same period.

Likewise, if a warm period appears ion the timing bar or calendar, it means that the day or days indicated will be warmer than the long-time average temperature for that same period. Because at night it is usually colder than during tho day, tho cold periods indicated refer to expected minimum night-time temperatures and warm periods refer to expected maximum day-time temperatures. During tho periods Indicated where rainfall, snow, or showers are expected, look for stormy unsettled weather, but don't expect rain, snow, or whatever type of precipitation Is called for, to occur on every day of the interval.

Two more caused minor damage and were accompanied by scattered deluges of rain on the southern plains of western Texas Sunday night Nowhere in the rain belt, run. ning from the Dakotas into the southern plains, did amounts approach the estimated 12 Vi inches that fell on Geneva, Sunday. About half of Geneva's business buildings and many residences in the town of 3,500 population suffered heavy water dam. age despite sand-bagging in an effort to' control floodwaters.

Amounts ringed up to .62 of an inch at Valentine, .91 at Chattanooga; Danville, .46, and Detroit, .31. Fog was widespread through the Great Lakes and central Mississippi Valley regions. Temperatures were generally in the 40s along the northern tier of states from the Great Plains westward, and In the 0s to the east.

Formula to Harjg In Your Wig wan MILWAUKEE. May 23 Chief Ben American Horse, 81, leader of 12.000 Dakota Sioux Indians, had this advice for the white man when he visited Milwaukee recently: Move easy, stay loose. Avoid whisky, thins out the juice. Confine your drinking to beer and ale. Smoke without fear, but don't inhale.

Stay away from vitamin pills. Move to South Dakota's hills. Forty cups of coffee daily. Keep the muscles feeling gaily. 2 Speakers Named By Factory Group SAN LEANDRO, May 23.

Flood Breaks Dikes In Manitoba Area PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, May 2T (Jl Swirling waters of the rising Assiniboine River soaked into thousands of acres of rich farmland today. The river rushed through broken dikes in the Popular Point area 13 miles east of here. Authorities said if the flood tide is not stopped, fanners face loss of some Old Oakland Parks Early-day parks in the Oak 1nd area were Zimmerman Hardens. Miller's Garden, Badger Park. Blair Park, Pied mont Springs Park, San Lorenzo Grove and California rarx, of Wiest s-xyst throughout the bitterest winter to hatch their eggs.

ANIMALS MIGRATE Mammals in the northland either migrate as do the birds or increase the -amount of their blubber as a food reserve be fore winter sets in. In addition to being a food reserve, when foraging is difficult, it also keeps the animal's heat in and the out. That is because blubber is an extremely poor conductor of heat. So poor, in fact, that a dead walrus which has sunk to the bottom of the cold Arctic sea will yet remain very warm after 12 hours. The toothless whalebone whale, actually has two sets of teeth.

However, both sets are useless since they never cut the gum. A brooding bird turns its eggs with its beak or feet at least once and sometimes twice a day It is thought this keeps the eggs evenly warmed. What grass is to cattle, mice are to most flesh-eating animals. Because of the tremendous demands made upon their race, mice must multiply very. rapidly or become extinct.

As a result, it is possible for a meadow mouse to have up to 17 litters a year, averaging three to five to the litter. This, of course, is the highest reproductive rate of any mammal. In sections of the Arctic summer temperatures may rise above 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Afr FBI laboratory said specks of metal around his face resembled bird shot Negro leaders believe he was killed for urging other; Negroes to register to vote in Humphreys County where; Negrees outnumber whites.

VER LjKE, Recreation Com Calendar Out to Nation By JOSEPH L. MTLEB WASHINGTON, May 23. The Weather Bureau is now putting out information twice a day -on which way to run If H-bombs start falling. Delbert M. Little, assistant chief of the Weather Bureau, said this information upper air fallout observations" has been a regular part of the bureau's teletype report since May 15.

i I With the! data thus supplied civil defense; officials in potential target areas can quickly Compute the radioactive fallout patterns that would result from nuclear attack almost anywhere in the United States. Thus armed, they can deter mine what areas must be evacuated if an air; attack warning comes and! in what directions populations must be moved to escape, fallout. BOW IT WORKS What the Weather Bureau does is measure wind velocities and directions every 10,000 feet from the ground up to 80,000 feet at its nearly three-score upper air stations. It then figures how far and what directions the wind would travel in three hours at the various altitudes. Coupled1 with estimates of bomb size and point of burst.

this data supplies the fallout pattern i the region in which deadly radioactive debris would descend downwind from a tar get for hours after an H-bomb I Meteorologists plot wind speeds and directions aloft-by sending up balloons and following them with automatic tracking equipment on the ground. The tracking equipment records on tape the balloon's position at various brief time intervals. RESULTS CIRCULATED The bureau's upper air bser vations go out two times a day on the 30,000 miles of teletype circuits which -connect its stations throughout the country, They go directly to federal civil defense headquarters at Battle Creek, and to key re gional officials elsewhere. The world learned about the deadly hazard of radioactive fallout after the U.S. H-bomb tests in the Marshall Islands in tne spring xS 1954.

Ray-spitting particles contaminated a 7.000- sea area extending un mnesi downwind from the big explosion of March 1, 1954. It has been estimated that a similarly poisoned land area w.ould be uninhabitable for perhaps as long as three months. 3,000 Battle Forest Fires in Canada HALIFAX, N.S., May 23. Unchecked forest fires burned paths ofj destruction through two Canadian provinces today, leveling more than 100 build ings in Nova Scotia and; eating tnrough 15,000 acres of rich Ontario timber lands.

With SAS (Delayed) Did you know that the Arctic tone is perhaps the driest, of all zones, in fact perhaps the driest region on earth, averaging less than IS inches of precipitation a year. The American explorer, Robert Edwin Peary, accom panied by a "Negro, Matthew A.

Henson, and four Eskimos, was the first white man to reach the North Pole, April 6, 1909, after making eight Arctic trips, be ginning in 1886. Quite likely, Eskimos were there before Peary.1 The largest star yet discov ered in the far-flung Alpha Herculis, is 200,000 times the diameter of ou sun. As the universe goes, it is relatively close to us Its light takes only 1,200 years to reach our earth. So, until the year 3,155 A.D., we'll never know if it is there today. Birds generally lay their eggs in a nest or in some safe place on the ground, but the fairy tern of America lays its solitary egg balanced on the bough of a tree.

DUCKS HOLD RECORD Speaking of laying eggs, cham pion ducks frequently outlay champion chickens. In 1927 the world's duck record for? laying eggs was 363 eggs lor 365 day: missing only two days out of the year. For the same period, the chicken record was only 351 eggs a loss of 14 days. As far as I can determine, the world's record for chickens was set by an Australorp hen of Australia which in 1946 turned out 361 eggs in 365 days. There are no foup-footed ani mals in the Antarctic.
