I.—There will be a white Christmas, John Drake, Berks county's weather forecaster, says. The earth will be covered with snow. The winter weather will be mild. There will be no blizzards and very little snow. These are Drake's predictions. He lives in a little bungalow in the woods in Frush Valley, where ho enjoys bachelor life. There is little furniture in his home, but hundreds of books are all around him. Here he studies the movements of the planets. In his early days he was success ful as a weather prophet, winning the admiration of all of his teachers because of his accurate forecacts. Drake was born in Muhlenberg township, this county. His aptitude in weather forecasting was noticed one day when, instead of going to school, he hid in his father's barn, remaining there until late in the aft ernoon. His mother discovered him and asked why he didn't go to school. He replied he knew in the morning the day would bring aq awful rain storm. It did.

Though the cost of "high living" may remain expensive, according to this veteran sage, the high cost of ordinary living will be "lowered by a mild winter." Drake avers there will not be any early cold spells; that the winter will be mild throughout with hardly any snow, and feels confident those things will save coal bills and cloth ing costs. "Light overcoats will suffice for the entire winter, with a few excep tions, when it will be quite cold for a day or two," lie says. The young folks who already in the fall plan for sleighing parties need not worry, for there will not be enough snow for sleighing, he finds, but assures children Santa will de liver his presents in his reindeer sled and that the earth will be cov ered with snow. John Drake does not merely guess his predictions; he "works them out." He studies the stars. He uses what he calls a "weatherscope," a device made by himself and which he close ly guards so as not to reveal the mystery of its details. His me teorological observations require a great deal of his time. In fact, he does very little in the autumn but study weather conditions.
