Frederick j. Haskin says: when
the secretay of war and the Canal
Zone Commissioner sent Miss Helen
Varick Boswell into Panama a short
while ago to found Womens Clubs
they put the official seal of govern
mental approval on woman's influence
and openly acknowledged the power
OF the fair sex to make smooth many
rough places. II was seen that the
men who had gone down to work in
their dozen different capacities on the
canal were becoming discouraged 1t
was shrewdly suspected that it was
because their wives were discouraged.
and when the powers 81 the zone sat
down and thought it over they saw
p:any reasons why the women should
be discouraged and homesick. If the
men were to be kept on the job they
must be made content, and that meant
that the wives must be reached first

wave will cross Pacific slope about2,
great central valleys 4, eastern states
6 Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about 5, great central valleys7, east
ern states 8.
This will be a modern disturbance,
not much precipitation, temperatures
averaging higher than usual and no
severe cold weather. 1t will not be an
important disturbance.
Third disturbance of March will
reach Pacific coast about Z, cross Pa
cific slope by close of s, great central

This disturbance will not be of
much Importance west of Rockies. In
that section its warm wave, cool wave,
winds, precipitation and frosts will be
moderate. About March 10, when the
low, or storm center, is expected to be
near meridian 80. the storm forces
will begin to increase. AT that time
the cool wave will be crossing the
Rockies and its intensity will begin to
grow and its cold will increase.
On Mar. IL the storm center will
have crossed the Mississippi and me-
ridian 80 and from that time till it

cipitation will largely increase as the
disturbance nears the Atlantic and
about Mar. 10 the cool wave from
Manitoba will turn to a cold wave and
blizzard. Eastern sections of the coun-
try will get the most severe part of
this disturbance and it will be well
not to forget its coming.

BARNES RETURNS
 FROM LOUISVILLE
SEES THERE THE ADJUSTMENTS WHICH WILL BE BROUGHT TO BIRMINGHAM FAIR AND SAYS THEY ARE ALL FINE.

George T. Barnes, manager and secre- tary of the Alabama State Fair and Ex- hibit association, returned yesterday from Louisville and Nashville with his head full of ideas to make the Birmingham fair, October 9-17, reach far above the stan dard.
 Manager Barnes is the man to whose energy and organizing ability the success of the fair is due. He has left no stone unturned this year. His trip to Louisville practically finished his out of town work, and for the next three weeks he will be engaged busily in locating the exhibits and amusements.
 Tn Louisville" he said, 'I saw all the amusements which we will have in Bir- mingham in full swing. The free amuse- ments will be fine. Every act is @ top liner, and the crowds there went wild over them. l never saw a better fire works display than that which Is being brought this year. Riccis band is Tn great shape, with solost of unusual vocal power.
 At Nashville they are already to open the big fair. I find that our stables will be full of running and trotting horses this fall The live stock exhibits which are coming are far beyond the ordinary Prospects are so bright that there ceases to be any shadow of chance for failure.'
