places have been readily taken as the

suit that the masses do not realize the
value of accurate figures and have TO
get their ideas of temperature through
unreliable sources
In order that this may be obViated
as much as possible. the weather
bureau will erect small kiosks. in which
the best thermometers, both stationary

lie. There will also be constantly OF

will enable people to possess an mteiil-

not to exceed two feet square and SIX or
eight feet high. and with view to max

possible. They will be made to CONFORM
as much as possible to the SURROUNDINGS
with the idea of making them as famiiiar
articles to the public as the mail boxes

The weather bureau has a general ap-
preparation which will cover the expense

booths have been established laws will
be enacted which will insure further pro-
lection to the property.
If the plan is greeted with the popular
interest which is expected. it is probable
that the weather kiosks will be establish
