Fortune and O. it McKinney. A second charge against Brown, that of using improper license plates, was nol prosscd with lrave by the state.

Sur LET'S By: Grace & Selman You have doubtless heard ths whimsical idea expressed that "It's an' ill wind that blows no good." Apparently this is more truth than fiction if we are to accept the theory of a prominent scientist who claims that the tornado is actually one of man's best friends. Dr. Theodore Theodorsen. noted Uni versity of Maryland scien* ist. passes on word that the world wouldn't be a ! fit place to live in * if it 1 weren't for the type of air tubulence that stirs up tornadoes. To our layman's mind, which hitherto considered anything more robust than a spring breeze as a cause jfor mild?alarm, it appears that without tornadoes winds would sweep across |the face of the earth con stantly at the 100 m.p.h. .velocities which prevail in the upper atmosphere. This would appeal to hardy kite | flyers, of course, but would i make living next to impos sible. In the words of the good Doctor tornadoes are "merely the largest repre sentatives of the element of turbulence, and turbulence is absolutely necessary to prevent excessive wind ve locities along the earth's j surface." See? What it all boils down to, as ve see it; contrary to what the popular song says, '"Diamonds are not a girl's best friend."
