AGE HAS ITS DRAWBACKS
YOUNG MEN FOR PLACES IN
WEATHER SERVICE.
Chief Moore Announces Settled Pol
icy in Changes He Makes at
Stations.

Old men, make way for younger blood.
This, in effect. is the ''intimation'' which
has been sent along the line OF the United
States weather bureau field service by
Chief Willis l.. Moore. It means in plain
English. that the day OF men over three
score years of age occupying high posi-
tions in that service is passed. Young
men of visor and snap are being pushed
to the front to fill the places once occu-
pied by sray-haired veterans Of the serv-
ice. Men who have reached the age above
indicated will not be let out OF the service,
but will take less important stations.
Striking Illustration of the fact that this
is to become the settled policy of the
weather bureau is indicated by changes
which have just been made in the sta
lions at Philadelphia. Indiana polls. Gin
cinnati and Nashville all of which posts
have been filed by men whose ages are
between sixty and seventy years, but
which from now on are to be occupied
by younger men.
Among the transfers are: +. IL. Emery,
forecaster at New York city. to ProVi-
dence. r. l., to he succeeded by James
II. Scarr of Pennsylvania, and Edward
Bowie. formerly in charge of the st. Louis
station to be forecaster in this city. He
