SAFEGUARDS AGAINST
WEST INDIAN STORMS
photographic Office Of Navy
Issues Instructions.
Tells Mariners What to Do If Caught
in Dreaded Hurricanes-Little
Ice Sighted.

The pilot chart issued by the Hydro
graphic Office of the Navy Depart ment
for the month of August contains a
valuable article on West Indian hurri-
canes. with Instructions 10 masters who
may be so unfortunate as to be cau-ht
in one OF these rotary storms. These
storms, SO dreaded by mariners, are
most likely TO occur about this time of
the year and during September.
The chart also makes mention OF the
exceptionally small amount OF ice that
has been sighted by the transatlantic
vessels this season. But l per cent of
those passing near the Grand Banks
have sighted any ice or bergs of any
kind, and the percentage is equally
small in all of the regions where ice Is
usually sighted, drifting down from the
Northern seas

Capt. Nathan Bickford, Mrs. Isabel Wor-

tour of inspection of the parks yester-
day to note the condition of the floral
designs Of corps barges. With few ex
ceptions they we're found to be most
beautiful.
Officers Get Reminiscent.
The trip was designed primarily to
ascertain just what state these very at
tractive floral designs were in. and it
was enlivened considerably by the de-
and Captain Bickford. who are thorough
ly acquainted with the engagements in
which the various corps participated. II
is not unlikely that Colonel McElroy will
prepare a history of the various army
corus
There is every reason TO believe that
in the carly part Of October the foliage
OF the parks will still be bright, and
that these most attractive designs will
be seen at their best

Captain Kelley has not made definite
reply to these communications. and will
not be able to do so until he receives
reply from the Liverymen Association.

the rate for horse with equipment will
be at least 81 higher than for those
