TO AVOID CONFUSION.
Conference at London Adopts Inter
national Code of Storm Signals.

Willis l.. Moore, chief of the weather
bureau, has returned from Europe. Mr..
Moore's trip to London was to attend an
international conference of weather ex-
perts called to decide on an international
code OF storm signals. At present all
countries maintaining weather bureaus
have different sets of storm signals. and
as consequence mariners are often seri-
ously confused.
The conference adopted new interna-
tional code, which will! have to be rati,
fed by the various countries represented
before It can become effective. In this
country the new code will require the ap-
prOval OF the Secretary Of Agriculture.
Another matter which was informally
discussed was the possibility OF sending
wireless messages from ships TO the
shore. showing the results of weather OBJ
seryations taken. at sea, for. the use OF
the forecasters on land. The countries
represented at the conference were Great
Britain, Germany. France, Russia and the
United States.
