WEATHER MAN
SCORES AGAIN

United States weather bureau IL
scoring heavily against Emerson
Hough, magazine writer who at
tackled the bureau as useless ex
pense and unreliable medium
Hougha mentioned the loss of the
steamer Portland in 1898 as an in
stance to show that the bureau had
failed to give warning of a storm
that cost many human lives in the
wrecking of the steamer. The cap,
tain of the Portland took his ship
out of Boston harbor in the face OF
a gathering storm.
The weather bureau has pro-
duced records showing that the
Boston observer not only forecast
ed the storm but personally warned
the captain of the Portland not to
go to sea. Every other vessel re-
manned in shelter of the harbor
and only the Portland was lost.
The bureau is citing similar rec.
ords in the case of the Galveston
storm, proving that ample warning
was given of the hurricane, that
the gulf was cleared of vessels in
consequence and no loss of life nor
property resulted In the open sea.
Hurricane signals wer flying In
Galveston and other gulf ports the
morning before the hurricane
passed.
In addition to this the bureau is
displaying a mass of testimony
from European scientists, conced'
ing that the United States weather
bureau is the finest of the kind In
the world and that it has been
taken as the pattern Of similar
service in the most advanced ma
tons of the old country.

Get after the moths. Nowsis the
accepted time.
They are probably busy laying
their eggs in your fine clothes
right now.
In the north, the moth deposits
Its larvae early in the spring. The
south moth, who disports himself
below the Mason and Dixon line
lays one set of eggs in the spring
and follows 1t up in the fall with
another.
Don't bother SO much about ,pur.
suing and killing the little yellow
ish or buff-colored moths you may
see flying about your rooms at
night. In themselves. they are
harmless enough, for they take nc
food in the winged state. They
aren't actually engaged in eating
your woolens. your furs. and your
f,irbelows.
Center your attention upon
clothes that are ranging away in
closets, or are buried deep in chests
and trunks. Shake them out, air
them, expose them to the light. Rid
them of larvae.
There are lot of remedies for
moths. a lot of good remedies. AS
good as any of them, however, is
frequent inspection, exposure to
the light and air and shaking.

THIS THE OPEN SEASON FOR MOTHS

The moth has always been with
us. Jobs reference to "a garment
that is moth eaten" falls far short
of proving him discoverer. Sc
does Pliny's description Of the
moth. The moth was in the garden
of Eden.
In anient times, before man wore
clothes, they fed on waste animal
material about human habitations
They were scavengers then. When
man, along about the stone age
began wearing hairy skins of ami
mails. the moth assembled higher
plane of diet. He's kept pace with
man, and is now subsisting on the
artistic products of the modern
tailor and modiste.
Three common destructive spe
cies of moths occur in this country
The northern moth. known scien
tifically as the true clothes moth;
the southern clothes moth, known
as the webbing species, and the
tapestry moth. The latter Is quite
rare, however.
