LONDON.—The British royal air
torce enjoys an important advan-
tage over German aviation in the
matter of weather information.
Normally, weather changes from
west to east. British meteorologists
hnow Germany's weather because
Britain has had it Arst. German
observers are not in a position to
ibe weii informed about British
weather.
Royal air force weather experts
prepare forecasts, aided by intri-
cately co-ordinated information.
Daily and hourly reports from ob-
servation stations in the British
Isles and other countries pour into
* central recording station.
Worked Ont on Map.
The airfield "met" ofBcer, with a
pile of messages before him, works
over a map of Europe a yard wide.
The land contours are marked in
varying shades of green. The sea
is light blue. The map is dotted
with small circles denoting weath-
er observation stations.
Around these the meteorological
ofBcer draws curious symbols, some
like musical notes and others like
signs of the zodiac. They represent
vrid direction and velocity, amount
and nature of cloud, visibility, baro-
metric pressure and temperatures.
So small are these symbols that
on a square centimeter of this map,
there is for the trained eye a com-
plete picture of the local weather
conditions of that sector.
His information complete, the
meteorological officer is able scien-
tifically to estimate the future
weather in his own locality, and
over the areas where the aircraft
of his station will have to fly.
^ Heavy Responsibility.
Meteorological officers at coastal
command stations have a particu-
larly heavy responsibility, for they
have to forecast weather in areas
hundreds of miles from the shores
of England, which are patrolled by
reconnaissance aircraft.
During the severe cold wave the
coastal command experienced dif-
ficult flying weather. At a succes-
sion of "front"—meeting places of
masses of air with different meteor-
ological properties—aircraft were
tossed about like corks in a rough
sea. Snow often formed solid cur-
tains and clouds extended down to
sea level. The various types of "de-
icers" were rigorously tested as ice
formation on the wings was an
everyday occurrence.

In the compilation of votes in last,
weeks' issue of the Herald, we gave
the Chester A. Gipson vote a 41 ma-
jority, when it should have been 51.
Errors of this kind are likely to hap-
pen when handling as many figures
as appeared in the July primaries.

Anti-Knock!"
re
tvery motorist knows that there
tivo important ranges of acceleration
where highest anti-knock perform-
ance is needed. l or example, you need
kruckless power at 10 to 45 mites per
hour for acceleration in traflic and 45
to 90 miles per hour for passing other
cars and climbing hills. Some gasolines
may give high anti-knock in one range
but not in the other, But the netu
Sinclair H-C combines high antiknock
po/ormance in both ranges. With the
DoMofe-Rangc anti-knock in H-C you
also get other remarkable qualities in
performance. You get quick starting—
rapid pick-up—smooth power—and
long mileage.
Try a complete tankful of the new
Doub!e-Range H-C in your car today.
Your nearby Sinclair dealer sells it at
regular price. You will find it adds to
the pleasure of driving and helps
reduce motoring expense as well! Ask
for the new Sinclair H-C.
N.w S!NCLA!R H-C
For performance, no gasoline at regtitar
price is superior to the new Sinclair H-C-
