Meteorologist Parker Reports that
September Wus Normal in Tem-
perature But Short in Rainfall.
The monthly mean temperature
for September, 1931, at the Airport,
Bellefonte, was 66.9 degrees, which
is approximately 4 degrees above
the average for this locality. The
mean maximum temperature was
79.8 degrees and the mean minimum
was 54.0 degrees. The 9th to the
17th inclusive and the 20th to 22nd
dnclusive, were the warmest parts
of the month; the mean temperature
for these days averaging 75.3 de-
grees. The highest temperature
was 94 degrees on the 12th and the
lowest 33 degrees on the 29th, mak-
ing a monthly range of 61 degrees.
There were 7 days with a tempera-
ture of 90 degre2s or above. The
greatest daily range was 39 degrees
on the 1st, and the least was 8 de-
grees on the 16th. The 17th, 21st
and 22nd were the warmest days of
the month, each having a daily
mean temperature of 78 degrees.
‘The coldest day was the 29th with
a mean temperature of 51 degrees.
The total monthly precipitation
was 246 inches, of which more
than half fell on the 2nd. There
were 9 days on which 0.01 inch or
more of precipitation occurred.
There wese 4 days with thunder-
storms, the 17th, 20th, 22nd and
25th.
The prevailing wind was SW and
a maximum velocity of 34 miles per
pour from the SE was recorded on
the 26th. Dense fog occurred on
the 4th, 5th, 10th, 11th and 30th,
and light frost on the 25th and
20th.
Comparison with previcus records
made in Bellefonte, Centre Hall,
State College and Fleming, shows
the following results:
The monthly mean temperature
for September in Bellefonte, for 10
years, 1900 to 1912 inclusive, (the
record for 1906 missing), is 65.7 de- |
grees, for Centre Hall, for 28 years,
1903 to 1930 inclusive, 62.2 degrees;
for State College, covering a period
‘of 43 years, 1888 to 1930 inclusive,
‘82.6 degrees; and at the Airport,
Bellefonte, 1928 to 1931 inclusive, a
period of 4 years, is 63.6 degrees.
Allowing a correction of 3 degrees
“for the temperatures previously re-
‘corded in the borough of Bellefonte,
reducing the mean to 62.7 degrees,
it is seen that the monthly mean

The carburetor should be checked,
and the valves should be adjusted to
prevent loss of compression. The ig-
nition system, especially the timing,
should be cleaned thoroughly and
checked for proper adjustment; the
proper functioning of the ignition
system is essential to easy starting
on cold mornings.

of the cooling systewa; draining and
flushing the crankcase and refilling

perhaps most important of all, the
brakes should be adjusted, or, if

CHENEY TELLS WHY
COFFEE IS HEALTHFUL
Coffee is beneficial rather than
harmfui to 90 per cent of the coffee
drinkers, according to Dr. R. H.
Cheney, professor of biology, Leng
Island University, New York. Scien-
tific experiments at the University
have shown that coffee increases the
efficiensy of nervous, muscular and
blood systems. It has been estab-
lished that limited use of coffee pro-
duces no injurious effects.
Dr. Cheney has written a book
(which deals with coffe in all its
phases. Many of his experiments
have determined the effects of fa-
(tigue. He has been conducting his
| experiments for more than twelve,
years.
The conclusions of the Long Is-
‘land professor have been upheld by
the experiments of Dr. John A. Kil-
lian, director of biochemistry,
York Post-Graduate School and hos-
| pital, who states that freshly roast-
ed and percolated coffee was not
found harmful to the disgestive or-
gans of the normal person. Fresh
coffee was found to stimulate the
gastric juices and aid digestion
while stale coffee made for a great-
| er concentration of acid in the stom-
ach with possible injurious effects.

It takes two for a kiss,
Only one for a sigh;
Twain by twain we marry,

Grief weeps alone;

—Frederic Lawrence Knowles.
—Fast and furious wags the bat-
tle over the new make-up ideas
that have sprung up with the new
fashions.
“What! and lipstick with
these new 1 fashions? Ridic-
ulous. They aren't ladylike,” de-
clare the conservatives.
But—"I'm not going to look like
washed out lily in these new
bright colors! I'm going to use
more make-up than ever.” So de-
clares the opposition.
Certainly there is a problem to
be met when you try on some of
the new costume colors. To some
complexions they do things that
make them quite unbecoming. But
—that can be remedied with make-
up.
yo those luxurious Fifth Avenue
salons devoted to the pursuit of
beauty there step every day fashion-
able women in searcn of remedies for
just such problems.
Under both daylight and evening
light their chosen colors are tried
against their skins. Deep confer-
ences go on as to what can be done
so Madame may wear the new Per-
sian green she ordered chez Patou
in Paris and the new Spanish tile
that, with her natural coloring,
| makes her look like an Indian.
| With a little time aud patience,
you can do your own experimenting.
| Blend your own powders and test
out rouges. And get quite satis-
factory results, too.
For instance if certain of the new
colors make your skin look too yel-
low, experiment with lavender tint-
ed powder, which tends to take the
yellow tinge out of the skin.
Lavender powders are generally
used for evening only, but a bit of
it mixed with your regular powder
or a light dusting of lavender over
your regular shade, will work won-
ders in the daytime.
If the color of the dress seems
to draw the color out of your face,
work with powders that have a rosy
i
cheeks.
Green tends to make some com-|
plexions look sallow. Try creamy |
| powders with your green. And a
| lipstick that has no orange tint in,
it.
The are of applying perfume is a’
delicate one. Don't put a daub be-
hind each ear and one on the front
of your dress and expect the odor
to be subtle.
An atomizer is the best thing to OfEree®
use in putting on your perfume.
‘Be sure and select one which is
‘mechanically perfect as well as
pretty to look at. The bulb must
'be made of a good grade rubber,
the tube which you insert into the
| bottle should not be too big in di-
ameter and should be long enough to
reach practically to the hottom, and
the metal top on the atomizer should |
be constructed in such a manner
that the spray will be as fine as
mist. Don’t buy one until you have
tried it out to see just how fine the
is. i
