ON WEATHER BUREAU

That it's 20 years of costly ex-
perimenting has failed to develop
one decided improvement in wealth
er prediction.
1t is cursed with politics.
That it has progressed only In
monopolizing and centralizing the
service, In shrouding it in mystery;
in defending it through expensive
literature.
That it prints thousands of elab-
crate rainfall charts, snowfall
charts and storm charts, all SUI
perbly Autographed, woven through
out with the defensive, the explana-
tory and the argumentative note
and sends them out monthly to
men who have no use for them.
That it's forecasts, mailed to a
hypothetical John Jones in Sleepy
Eye, Mimi, either from the Chicago
district station, or the Washington
national station. reach John Jones
so late that they are of no possible
benefit to him.
That, in attempting to cover this
country from seven district fore
casting stations, it cannot forecast
the weather to come at all.
That it realizes it's shortening,
and betrays that knowledge when 1t
refuses to make comparison OF
predictions and results such as The
Press has done with the weather
of April %.
Its inefficiency was partially re-
sponsible for the great loss of life
in the Galveston flood, edspite
Chief Observer Moore's oft-repeat-
ed statement that the weather bu-
reau warned Galveston Of the APP
preaching storm eight days in ad-
vance.
That it is culpable for the loss
of life and property in the Mobile,
Omaha and other great storms.
That, generally speaking, 1t isn't
worth while; that any old amateur
bureau is as good.

Does Uncle Sans weather bu-
reau, Costing $1,662,26O a year,
make good? Is Bureau Chief Will
lis l.. Moore false prophet?
Just before midnight March 8
last, Moore, from weather bureau
headquarters in Washington, tele-
phoned William Howard Taft. that
he could rest assured that the NOR
row, on which he was to be in
augurated president, would be a
fine day.
The next day--it showed. A wet,
sticky, slushy, pneumonia-breeding
snow it was. William Howard Taft
had to take his oath of Office in
the senate chamber, which could
accommodate only few hundreds
OF the thousands who had come to
Washington to witness the inau-
guration ceremony, therefore held
always on the steps of the capitol.
I'll stake my reputation on it
tomorrow will be a fair and pleas
ant day." Moore declared the night
before William Mckinley was in
augurated for the second time.
The next day-it rained. BY the
bucketsful 1t rained.
Bodily and mental discomfort
was not all the result on these two
memorable occasions. There were
deaths, scores Of them. Sightseers
were not the only ones who sacri-
feed by unexpected exposures.
There were some deaths of public
men.
In the May Eyerybody's Maya
zine, Emerson Hough takes up the
question. Does the weather bu-
reau make good?" In answer he
undertakes Moore, he undertakes
Moore's methods, and he muck
rakes Moore's assistants. He calls
this $1,660,260 year weather bu-
reau of ours "the most bureau
cratic bureau In the world" that
It more often goes wrong than it
goes right, that 1t hasn't progressed
one bit in 20 years. $3.50
With these Inauguration days and
this muckrakery in mind The Press
resolved to test the soundness Of
Houghs argument that we ought to
chuck the present weather bureau
on the ash heap and get ourselves
a new one.

SHIP SENDS WIRELESS
FOR POLICE HELP

NEW YORK. May 4.-Still a
newer use of the wireless at sea
was discovered when a message
was received from the North Ger
man Lloyd's Kaiser Wilhelm ii,
still 500 miles out at sea, asking
that force of police be sent down
the bay to quarantine the boat as
soon as it arrived in port. The
wireless despatch intimated that
serious trouble had occurred on
board with some gamblers, and it
was desired to have officers ready
to arrest them as soon as the boat
enters the bay.

WEA THEIR BUREAU WINS IN
PRACTICAL FORECAST TEST

Editors of nearly two score news
papers, widely scattered over the
country, were asked to report on
the evening of Wednesday, April
28-the day selected at random for
the test-just what the weather
was for that day, as compared with
the weather bureaus forecast.
The result follows. So far as that
one day-Wednesday, April 28-is
concerned, it was vindication for
the weather bureau, because the re-
ports to this newspaper from 80
cities show that the weather In "a
was exactly as forecasted. That Is
nearly 70 per cent. -Four cities
reported weather that partially full
filled the forecasts.
Observer Stewards forecast for
Spokane was correct.
Only FIVE telegraphed that their
forecasts were all wrong.

That the weather bureau Is un-

That it is exceedingly self-defen-

That its local forecasts are of

THE JOY OF A JOB WELL DONE

1.-The man." says Ebert Hubbard,
''who not only does his work superbly
well but adds to 1t touch of person
ality through great zeal, patience and
persistence, making it peculiar, unique,
individual, distinct and unforgetful, is
an artist. And this applies to each and
every field of human endeavor-man-
aging a hotel. a bank or a factory;
writing, speaking, modelling, or paint
ing. 1t is that last indefinable touch
that counts; the last three seconds he
knocks off the record that proves the
man genius"
Apart altogether from the question
whether the doing his work in superb
way makes man an artist or 4
genius. it is certain that there is moth
ing else quite like the satisfaction that
comes to one from the consciousness of
doing the very best thing possible to
him.
Neither wealth nor position can give
the glow of satisfaction, the electric
thrill and uplift which come from a SUI
perbly done job.
There is fitness in doing a thing
superlatively we'll, because we seem to
be made for expressing excellence It
seems to harmonic with the very prin-
ciples of our being. 1t is a perpetual
tonic, improves the health, the happi-
ness the efficiency There is no happi :
ness like that which comes from doing
our level best every day, always. every
where; no satisfaction like that which
comes from stamping superiority, put
ting the royal trade mark of excellence
upon everything which goes through
our hands.-Success.

HER BANK ACCOUNT

When girl goes into a shop to earn
her living she does not at first think
much of saving, Perhaps she is a
member of a family in which father
and brothers are working, and in any
case she expects soon to get married.
The girl at the same counter was
welded only, a few weeks ago; the girl
opposite is engaged. The desire to pro-
vide for old age is tempered by the eX-
pectation that a future husband may
make saving unnecessary.
The future husband does not always
materialize, and the shop girl, like the
factory girl and the domestic servant;
like the cashier, the stenographer the
teacher, and other working women,
faces the problem of providing for her
self And so she saves.
A report on Massachusetts savings
banks reveals how much she does save.
In a recent year it was shown that no
fewer than 794,700 savings bank ac-
counts belonged to women and girls,
and that the total amount of these de-
posits was almost fifty millions of dol
lars Besides, women are saving in
other ways. Many thousands are TAX
ing out small life insurance policies,
end other thousands are investing in
cooperative banks in which they are
obliged to make regular monthly pay
ments. The working girl has made up
her mind that if she must support her.
self in old age she will have the money
to do it.-Home Journal.

FASHIONS MIRROR

The Fair of Fashions, organized by
the Daily Mirror, is to be held in Lon
don from June 26 until July 3, at the
Horticultural hall, Vincent square,
Westminster, under distinguished pat
ronage, says the Philadelphia Record.
From the preparations already made,
it is evident that the fair will excel
all exhibitions devoted exclusively to
dress and it's accompanying captiva-
lions which have been held in London
or elsewhere.
Smart women are looking forward to
it as a source of invaluable aid and
inspiration in providing charming
ideas for incorporation in their new
toilettes, being well aware that these
are to be gathered from the modes to
be shown by Beer, Worth, Ney Seours,
Martial and Armand, Redfern and
other great firms who are to exhibit
and who are vying with each other to
produce the most beautiful and origi-
nal of frocks.
Space being limited, only the best
houses and individual exhibitors have
been allotted stalls and the result is
that Dame Fashion will have an ideal
exposition devoted to her whims and
fancies, and the women of London and
all lovers of beautiful clothes an OPP
portunity to see, under one roof and
at one time, the choicest and most
bewitching frocks, hats, lingerie, etc,
that have ever been assembled for the
delectation of femininity.
A novel feature will be the constant
succession of gowns which VIII be
shown by living models on a stage es-
pecially erected
Among the home industries, one of
the most important exhibits will be
made by the Archduchess Maria Te-
resa of Austria who is sending some
of the marvelously perfect lace made
in the schools under her supervision.

CRATE or stove in the room of a sick
person it should be placed in paper
