Charleston's tornadoes in trio were not unusual, nor were they related to the hurricane which struck farther up the northern Atlantic Coast last fortnight. Blowing up from some 25 miles in the interior, the first twister knocked down a row of Negroes' houses near the Ashley River. Within seven minutes, another twister licked down Meeting Street, along the Cooper River, wrecked more ancient hovels of the poor, flattened many a garden of the native gentry and rich Yankee interlopers. Sadly battered but not ruined were palmettos, oaks in famed White Point Gardens, known to millions of tourists...
...constitution was drawn up for a projected World Council of Churches (TIME, May 23). Last week in Manhattan the U.S. backers of this movement met, learned that two U.S. churches, the Presbyterian and the Congregational-Christian, had voted to join the Council. Ten others approved in principle: the Northern Baptists, Reformed and Evangelical-Reformed Churches, two smaller Presbyterian bodies, two Lutheran groups, the Disciples of Christ, the Episcopal and Methodist Episcopal Churches. Only body which had thumbed down the World Council, the Southern Baptist Convention, was expected to reconsider at its next meeting...
There have been some cases of Monday pessimism on Soldiers Field of recent years, but only once after an opening game. Yesterday afternoon, however, from the H.A.A. on Quincy Street to the very northern extreme of the practice field, the atmosphere was slightly bleak...
Year in, year out across the northern U. S., great areas of high and low pressure, each several hundred miles in diameter, roll like atmospheric groundswells-the lows bringing overcast and rainy weather, the highs fair skies. Compared to this relatively placid atmospheric topography, the antics of West Indies weather are fantastic. In that tropical neighborhood, pits of low pressure suddenly take form, airy abysses miles deep into which winds from the high-pressure areas rush from all sides not at 30, 40, 50 m. p. h. but at 75, TOO, even 200 m. p. h. Such an abyss formed...
These mutual insults generated so much heat that finally last week neutral sub-chieftain Abu Khalid arranged a meeting near Jaffa. At the unexpected approach of British troops this meeting broke up, but at a second conference, in the parched hills of northern Palestine, matters were settled amicably. Each chief agreed to allow the other to retain the "Commander-in-Chief" title, but only over separate districts. Neither is now to give the other orders, although "requests for cooperation" will be heeded. To celebrate this "peace" in true Arab fashion, the two chieftains and their henchmen roasted a sheep...
