1t may be considered a smart thing to
deride sw eepingly the official weather pre-
dictions simply because 1t was once the fash
ion to believe that such prophecies were
Inevitably wrong, but 1t Is unfortunate that
this tendency exists at time when the
weather prediction service of the country
Is In such a high state of efficiency. All
manner of fun has been poked at the bu-
reau on account of the unhappy slip that
was made in forecasting the weather on the
Fourth of July, and 1t would be hard If
the public could not have Its laugh over
the occasional amusing blunders of the
forecaster. But serious assaults upon the
bureau based upon such occurrences are
unjust. One critic says: 1.-The present fore
casters have demonstrated that 1t Is prac-
tically impossible to give accurate weather
warnings. Still worse, they bring loss and
injury by predictions that are invariably
proven absolutely untrue" The official
forecaster who does not succeed In max
ing accurately eighty per cent of his pre-
dictions is considered To-Day as pretty
Door stick at the business. Eghty-five per
cent Is more often obtained. and this, too,
for the entire country, and not for New
York or Washington or Squeedunk alone.
Three million square miles of territory
are covered by the official forecasts, twice
each day. and over eighty per cent of the
representations are proven by subsequent
event to be warranted. These verifcations
are made, not alone in the matter Of actual
rain or shine, but the shades Of tempera-
ture and moisture, and the finest discrimi-
nations are drawn to ensure rigid inspec-
ton Of the forecasts. The Weather Bureau
will never be able to satisfy the entire pop
ulation of the country. for the reason that
1t will never be possible to mako the fore
casts absolutely perfect. But II 1t improves
during the next decade as rapidly as 1t
has during the last one there is every rea-
son to believe that Its honest critics will
be few in number and may entirely
disappear. The Weather Bureau annually
saves many times Its cost in the amount OF
property that is kept from destruction on
the lakes and seas and on the plains by the
warnings that are given by the forecasters.
and it Is q pity If the good done in that way
cernot be recognized and commended, even
II few picnic parties did have their In
dependence Day holiday spoiled by a little

With the coming Of the watermelon-and
the watermelon has been coming for some

which have their origin in gastronomic ex-
ercise. Blessed as this portion Of the
country Is with almost countless varieties
Of the earths fruits, it Is questionable
whether any of the large or small edibles
Of the non-esSential sort are more popular
than the watermelon-the good watermelon
Now, to be thoroughly good a watermelon
must be just ripe-two or three days more
or less make all the difference in the
Qua,ity-and quite cold. In the city there
are, of course. none of those delightful
springs where pure water, clear as crystal
and cold as water for drinking ever should
be- Is available, SO the melon-eater must be
content with Ice ~ cooling substitute.
When there Is conjunction of healthy
appetite and frigid melon that gives forth
cracking sour DIS when gently pressed. then
for a season ensues happiness which takes
no note Of time and Is oblivious to the
world and all its carking care. Unripe
watermelon or over-ripe watermelon or
watermelon that has been severed from the
vine for many days will cause trouble in
the average stomach and may even be pro-
Afc of serious results. but the watermelon
as Washington ordinarily knows it-for the
very best Is to be found in our markets
Is. when properly treated. palatable and
healthful. People who know not this kind
of watermelon should come to Washington
and bury their visages In the rubicund
depths Of lusciousness itself. It Is perhaps
properly fashionable in public places to
convey the watermelon to the mouth with
a fork or a spoon. and under stress Of cir
cumstances the use Of knife may not be
a misdemeanor. but it is not possible to
sound the deepest depths of melon-eating

cars II thsre was any comfort at all to be
derived from such an experience. 1t Il safe
to aver that no sane man or woman ever
Travelled on an Anacosua car for pleasure:
nothing less than genuine necessity would
compel any weA-balanced person to get
into one Of those slishtly-exaggerated soap
boxes on wheels which forlorn-looking
horses-one horse to each box-have drag
ged unwilhngly all the way from Anacostia
to the business center Of the city and back
again. Why does not the company awaken
to the fact that the twentieth century Is
near at hand? Does not the management
see that traffic expansion is utterly irnpos-
sible 50 long as the present equipment is
In use? Why not try the experiment of
roomy, well-built, modern cars, run either
by horse power or by some one of the
many economical and satisfactory motive
forces now beginning to be common: cars
on which the driver will not also have to
be conductor? OF course. this change of
plan would call for the expenditure Of cash,
but fnasmuch as 1t would almost surely re-
suit in much more of profit than can pos
sibly be made in the bob-tail way. 1t would
seem as though no argument were neces-
sary to work such a change as that sug-

President Griswold of the Washington
ard Anacostia R.R. Co. has acceded to the
demands made by his employees. and the
strike, which has had the road tied up for
some time, Is successful The result Of
this local struggle is in no sense surplus
Ing to those who have watched its Incep-
ton, growth and conclusion. Taken as a
whole. the Anacostia strike was model
In the first place. the strikers had a real
grievance Then. they gave the company
fair opportunity to amend the oppressive
conditions; no step was taken without care
full consideration, and in all matters the
company was deliberately warned as to the
results which would follow disregard Of the
petition respectfully submitted by the
overworked and underpaid. The company
having ignored the prayer. the drivers of
the ancient "bob-tails. ceased for a time
to labor and the road was, in modern
phrase tiled up" Just then 1t would have
teen an easy thing for the strikers them
selves to knock the strike on the head.
% If the drivers had followed the example
set in many other strikes elsewhere the
cause as WI II as the cars would have been
wrecked. But there was no violence: nor.
indeed. was any one of the strikers heard
to utter a threat; on the part of the men
all things were done decently and in order.
Strikers themselves saw to II that the COM
pany's property was unchanged. which,
by the way, was a good deal more than
the company ever did for the strikers. From
the outset, public opinion and public SYM
pathy were with the drivers. This condi-
ton was evidenced by the mass meetings
held by residents of Anacostia and the VI
cinity; meetings in which it was made plain
that IL there as any law breaking in the
case justifying an appeal to the courts, 1t
was attributable to the corporation and not
to the strikers In active partnership with
the great bulk of the people. the Anacostia
strikers were bound to win, for without
tho public patronage the Anacostia COM
pany could not do business. There was
nothing left for the company to do but to
get into accord With its patrons, and as
Its patrons were Individually on record as
favoring the contentious of the strikers.
the company had perforce to harmonic
with these employees with whom 1t need
never have quarreled. There can be no
question to which Is the better way to
manage a strike In the interest of the
strikers. There is, Of course. q right way
and a wrong way. The Anacostia way is
the right way.
