ATTACK ON WEATHER BUREAU AND CHEF MOOR

hope of improvement in local fore
casting.
That its 20 years of costly ex-
perimenting has failed to develop
one decided improvement in
weather prediction.
1t is cursed with politics.
That it has progressed only in
monopolizing and centralizing the
service, in shrouding it in mys-
terry; In defending it through ex-
pensive literature.
That it prints thousands of elab-
crate rainfall charts. snowfall
charts and storm charts, all su-
perbly autographed, woven
throughout with the defensive, the
explanatory and the argumentative
note-and sends them out monthly
to men who have no use for them.
That its forecasts, mailed to a
hypothetical John Jones in Sleepy
Eye, Mimi, either from the Chica-
go district station, or the Wash
ington 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
forecasting stations, it cannot fore
cast the weather to come at all.
That it realizes it's shortcoming,
and betrays that knowledge when
it refuses to make a comparison
of predictions and results such as
the Times has done with the
weather of April %.
Its inefficiency was partially re-
sponsible for the great loss of life
in the Galveston flood, despite
Chief Observer Moore's oft-repeat-
ed statement that the weather bu-
reau warned Galveston of the ap-
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, it
isn't worth while; that any old am
ateur bureau is as good.

Shea Champion, Bonnie
Iowa High School Lass

IOWA CITY, Ia, May 5.-The
boys used to refuse to run races
with Clara Hanson, when she was
10 or IL years old, because they
never liked to be beaten in a 100
yard sprint by "just girl"
Now most of the boys in the
Iowa City high school refuse to
contest with her in the high jump
because she can put it over most
any of them. She has crossed the
bar at four feet nine inches in a
practice jump, and, SO far as the
|chronicled records are concerned,
she is the champion woman jump
er of the world.
Miss Hanson is the center on
her class basket ball team. She is
IN years old, and weighs 1876
pounds, to her five feet two inch
es in height. She negotiates the
loo yards in 13 seconds.
The high jump record OF four
feet nine, which Miss Hanson has
made, was the result of report
in high school circles that one OF
the state university co-eds had
cleared the bar at four feet six
inches. The university girls rec
ord up to that time-and Miss
Hanson's as well--was four feet
four inches. The high school girl
went at it to beat the university
record; equaled it one day, and
shattered it the next, with her
vault of four feet nine inches.

Death of Mrs. s. J. Thompson.

Mrs. S. j. Thompson, a resi-
dent Of Providence, Rhode Island,
died Tuesday morning at the
home of her sister, Mrs, J. H..
Buck in Macon, after an illness
of one week with pneumonia.
Mrs Thompson came south about
ten day ago in search of health.
as she had suffered from two at
tacks of pneumonia in the north.
Soon after her arrival here the
cold, bad weather set in and she
contracted grippe, which termi-
mated in pneumonia from which
death resulted. She was eighty
years of age. Messrs. Richard,
Nelson and William Redwood
were her grandchildren. The
remains were expressed to PrOvi-
dence, R. l. for interment.

LIES Ironies.

Life is full Of little ironies that
sometime level the rich with the
poor, the brilliant with the block
heads, youth with old age, the
powerful with the impotent, the
temperance advocate with the
drunkard. A few nights ago a
weH-known temperance advocate
of North Adams, Mass, slipped
on the ice and broke both legs.
The pain was excruating, and he
rolled on the sidewalk and ap-
pealed to the passers-by for help.
Men and women walking past the
helpless man made a detOur, and,
as frequently happens. simply
murmured, Drunken beast"
Many of them. undoubtedly, we're
temperance advocates themselves.
They believed in charity, help
fitness, and brotherlv love. And
so they turned mp their noses and
passed by. After five or ten min
utes, during which the temper
ance advocate grOaned and with
cred on the cold prvement, the
town drunkard came along. "Hel-
lo!" he said. Clocks as though
you're up against it," And the
town drunkard carried the tenn
perance advocate to the house of
the nearest doctor. 1t was just
one life's little irOnies-One Of
ture some higher power looking
down and smiling at our serious
ness. There are times when the
world seems surcharged with it's
own Importance; when men feel
their own power growing; when
surgeons feel that they can almost
bring the dead from the grave;
when engineers feel that a bridge
to heaven would not be impOssi-
BILE. Then comes n of those I'M
explainable accidents-a flood, a
fire, a cyclone wiping out the
work of man with a mighty hand.
Or it may be just a little incident
like that of the temperance advo-
cate on the sidewalk. 1t just
seems like a little game that all of
us have played-sitting near an
ant hill and shifting one of the
busy little insects, or walling it
in away from it's family, or put
ting it in a little pool of water to
see whether necessity will become
the mother of invention. The lit
tie boy wishes he we're a man so
that he cauld eat all the mince pie
he wants, and the grown man fire.
quently wishes he had the little
boys digestive soundness. The
man who refuses to ride on the
railroad or the water, fearing to
meet death, sometimes walks un-
der a falling brick and dies that
way. The sailor who lives on the
sea frequently dies of thirst On an
island, with water all around him.
The true philosopher realizes that
there is always a percentage of
gamblers luck in the game, and
he refuses to take life too serious
ly. He simply does the best he
can, and helps those he can, and
for the rest just bears in mind
that he is the merest drop in the
bucket. Washington Post.
