March Enjoys Deserved
Fame As Month of Wind
WASHIXOTOX, j April 11
March of all months in the year
still continues to hold the record
for high winds, although the big
gest wind ever actually measured
blew across Mount Washington on
a January day ' ' . V !
This record, was made January
II, 1878, when a velocity of 186
milas an hour was recorded on an
official anemometer there. - But
high winds reach their greatest
number inMarch. particularly in
the country east of .t.he Mississippi
river. t f -'" f ,. . : : .
"How 4 strong was the wind" is
a question often asked after a
destructive storm. The, American
Nature .association says .the an
swer is liable to be misleading,
for it is almost always stated in
terms of speed rather than. force.
The force of ;a wind can be in
dicated accurately; by saying what
pressure it exerts! Jn pounds per
square foot upon a surface at
right angles to! Its path.. -This
pressure varies approximately as
the square of the speed.
Thus a wind of 20 miles; an hour
blows about four times as hard
as one of ten miles an hour and
a wind of 30 miles an hoar blows
about nine times as hard as one
of ten miles an hour.
In such storms as the one which
swept through Illinois the uprush-
ing air attains pa" aieed of 2,000
feet or more a minute. t: -

THRIFT BY STRAUS
Collateral ! Effects on Our
Lives Worth More Than
Mere Money Values f
(By .S. W. Straus, President Am
i erican Society for Thrift.) f
1 i , .
Many of the greatest business
organizations of the present day
owe, their origin to the careful
frugality at some strong-willed
man who knew the value of sav
ing the pennies. 1 . '
In none of these cases was there
a great amount of money Involved
at the beginning, but the processes
of saving small sums developed
men of strong character whose
strength of will brought success.
When we save money we should
not think exclusively in terms of
dollar and cents. We should re
member that these practices j of
thrift are developing character as
well. - . :. . ' :
On the otier hand, those, who
squander money should not de
ceive themselves with the belief
that their losses are financial ones
alone. They! 'are losing opportuni
ties and throwing away careers.
Saving money is within itself a
most commendable ' performance
when it is accomplished in the
right spirit. But Its collateral ef
fects upon our ilves are worti In
finitely more than the accumula
tions we may lay by through, our
frugality. j j
Thrift is not entirely an econ
omic virtue.;! The thrifty man is
happy not. jnerely of his finan
cial independence. In a finer
way, he Is happy because of the
.wholesome . effects his thrift has
on his own moral standards.
He is sure of himself. He
knows his own strength. He faces
the future without fear. He knows
that he will never be a failure
because, he has shown himself to
be the master of his own actions.
! It is in these ' respects that
thrift proves Itself of the' greatest
value to any man or any woman.

state and municipal bodies to re
duce the. jnumber of accidents
from automobile traffic.
A marke4 reduction in the num
ber of deaths by automobiles Is
shown In trie figures for the last
few months In 1924 and in the
first months of 1923.
; Estimate were based on reports
received fnjm twenty-eight of the
sixty-eight cities' in the country
having a population of more than
100.000. Tin seven of the first ten
cities in the country the reduction !
of fatalities over! the correspond
ing months the year j previous,
was thirty-four pier cent.:
In an announcement authorized
by the steering committee of the
National Conference on street and
highway safety, which was organi
zed at the instance of Secretary
Hoover, the stamenet was made
that rigid enforcement of existing
traffic laws will do more than
anything el!se to reduce the auto
mobile accijlent rate.! j
In the committee's program for
the TOming year; one feature will
be an intensive study of adequate
traffic enforcement. New com
mittees will be appointed by Secre
tary xioover to deal with uniform
ity of laws Jand regulations, enfor
cement, causes of accidents and
metropolitan traffic facilities.
Secretary Hoover . stated that
two purposes; of the 1924 confer
ence had been accomplished: First
to focus; public attention on the
traffic accident and death rate
each year, nd, second, to prepare
a comprehensive national! program
of accident prevention given in
the report of the 1924 conference.

HEBREW UNIVERSITY .
ON MOUNT SCOPUS
JERUSALEM, j April V 4 The
Hebrew University of. Jerusalem,
which Is to be1 opened here ApHl
1 by Lord Balfour, who comes
from London especially for this
purpose, is the first European in
stitution of its kind, says the
university committee's announce
ment, 'to be eroded on oriental
soil by an eastern people who,
after 2,000 years; absence, are re
turning to the east with the cyl-
ture of the west
The university occupies thesum-jent
mit of Mount Scopus. Just outside
the gates of the ancient city, over
looking the city of David, and in
the distance may be seen the
mountains of Moab and the Dead
Sea. ;The aims of the institution
were outlined at the laying of the
cornerstones in July of 1918 by
Dr. Chaim Weizinann. member of
the central board of directors, in
part, as follows:
"It seems at first sight paradox
ical that in a laijd with so sparse
a population, iin a land where
everything still remains to be
done, in a land crying out for
such simple things as ploughs,
roads and harbors, we should be
creatine a centet" of spiritual and
intellectual devejonments. -But it
Is no paradox for those who know
the 8ould of the Jew. It Is true
that great social knd oolitical prob
lem still face usj and will demand
their solution. We Jews know
that when the mjnd is given fullest
play, when we fiave a center. for
the developmen : of Jewish con-soiou?nes.-tfteu
coinHdentally we
shall attain the fulfilment of our
material needs.
"Our " university, formed by
Jewish learning and Jewish energy
will mold itself; into an integral
part of our national structure
which Is in process ,of erection. It
will have a centripetal force, at
tracting all thatjis noblest in Jew
ry throughout the world: a unify
ing center 1 for lour scattered ele
ments. There will go forth, too.
inspiration and Rtrength, that shall
revivify the power now latent In
our scattered communities."
The university, as completed to
date, was built by funds received
from all parts of the world, sev
eral endowments of - considerable
amounts having come from the
United States. The language to be
used in the university will be the
language of th4 prophets of old,
Hebrew, and courses; of free pop
ular lectures are planned to begin
this summer.
