TIMING MOTORISTS.
Speed Recording Camera to Settle
Court Disputes

To ascertain the exact speed at which
motor cars are travelling Is often question
of great Importance to the general public.
who suffer by reckless motoring. and OF
equal Importance to conscientious and care
full motorists. who wish to obey whatever
the law on the subject may be. A new
time recording camera has just been patent
ed in England.
If the police wish to know the speed at
which motor car Is travelling, two Of the
time-recording cameras referred to can be
placed at each end of trap" the distance
between the points where the cameras are
located having been accurately measured.
The plan is for the cameras to- take actual
photographs of car, including the people
on the car, as it passes the selected spots.
recording the time of taking to the fraction
of a second. This gives the speed and
means of identification Of car and occu-
pants. If the watch be synchronized, the
decision arrived at must be accepted by ali
parties as accurate. 1t is proposed. the
Motorcar Journal states, that when a driver
is summoned for exceeding the speed limit
he be furnished with the photographs of
the car entering and leaving the trap
and the time records, and be- given an OPP
portunity before appearing In court to
measure the length Of the trap and calcu-
late from this data the time actually taken
in traversing the distance and from this
the rate of speed. The Motorcar Journals
description in part is as follows:
With this camera it Is possible to take
photograph of any rapidly moving object
passing any given point, the shutter speeds
giving range of exposure from one TWEEN
ty-fifth of a second to one one thousandth
of a second: at the same time and with
the same movement photograph Is taken
of watch, thus giving the exact time. A
special case Is provided for the watch. and
in an opening above the latter q card is in
serted giving the date. which can be signed
by the officer responsible for the time test.
Underneath the dial is numbering appara-
tus, and each watch case bears registered
number before it is sold. The case is so
made that after the official has placed the
watch in the case it can be sealed mot lock-
ed) up and 1t is impossible for the person
in charge of the same to tamper with the
watch without breaking and destroying the
seal. The camera thus makes record that
can be produced in court, and If carefully
stored can be referred to and reproduced
months afterward.

CROP CONDITIONS.
Summary Of Reports to the Weather
Bureau


The weekly bulletin Of the weather bu-
reau summarizes crop conditions as fol-
lows:
Texas and Oklahoma experienced very
warm weather. while it was too cool over
the northern portion of the lake region and
on the California coast; otherwise the tenn
perature conditions during the week ending
August Z were generally favorable Too
much rain proved detrimental In portions
of Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri and also
In Florida and portions of Mississippi but
in northern Alabama. Georgia and the Car
olinas and over considerable part of the
Middle Atlantic states, Ohio valley and
Tennessee rain Is much needed. the effects
of drought becoming serious over the great
er part of Georgia. Rain is also needed on
the north Pacific coast.
Over the central and western portions of
the corn belt and the greater part of the
Middle Atlantic states corn continues in ex-
cellent condition. and, while needing rain in
the Ohio valley, the condition of the crop
in that district is generally promising.
Thrashing of winter wheat is largely COM
pleted in the principal wheat states This
work has, however. been interrupted by
rains in Kansas, and complaints of injury
from moisture continue from portions of
Tennessee and the middle Atlantic states
Flowing for fall seeding is in progress in
the southern portion of central valleys.
While rust in spring wheat is more or
less prevalent In the Dakotas and to a
slight extent In Nebraska, Iowa and Min
nesota, the reports generally indicate that
the crop has not sustained serious injury
Harvest is nearly finished in Iowa and Is
in progress in Nebraska and the southern
portions of South Dakota and Minnesota
but has not yet begun in North Dakota,
where the crop is generally In excellent
condition, with long heads which are fill
ing well. In Oregon harvesting Is active
with yields below expectations: in Wash
ington spring wheat is ripening rapidly and
Is beyond further injury from hot winds.
Nearly all reports indicate that good
crop of oats has been secured. Harvesting
is now finished. except in extreme northeriy
districts, where 1t Is well advanced.
Cotton shows some improvement In Ten
nessee, western North Carolina northern
Alabama. Mississippi. Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Indian territories, northeastern Texas
and portions of Louisiana, but elsewhere
over the cotton belt the crop has deterio-
rs ted. The prevalence of rust is very gem
orally reported from the>eastern districts
and also from portions of the central and
western districts. Boil weevilss and boil
worms are doing considerable damage in
Texas and western Louisiana, but In the
first-named state they are less numerous.
Picking is general in southern Texas and
in some central counties of that state and
has commenced over the southern portion
of the eastern districts.
Tobacco has done well generally but
needs rain and cultivation in Kentucky and
sunshine in Virginia.
The reports concerning apples continue
unfavorable from nearly all districts where
unfinished, haying has progressed under
generally favorable conditions.
