Mexico Expert Studies American.
Forecasts to Improve System.
Work In That Country Particularly
Difficult Owing 70 the Peculiar
Typographical Features
or Country.

Washington Mexico Is seeking to
improve its weather bureau service
by studying methods in use In the
United States The Mexican experts
work is particularly hard. owing to the
peculiar typographical features Of the
country.
IN Mexico there are three mountain
chains running parallel to the coasts.
Along the western border lie the Pa
cific coast mountains, link between
the great Rocky mountain and the
Andes. while along the eastern coast
lie the gulf mountains. Stretching be-
tween is the central plateau, the aver
age height OF which IS 1000 feet. Since
these ranges modify greatly the high
and low pressure and the course OF
storms which drift over the country,
the problem of forecasting plainly be-
comes complex.
The Mexican government has sent
Sencr " Castaneda to observe the
systems in the United States and
Canada.
Senior Castaneda came to the Uni
ted States some ten months ago. He
first visited the weather bureau in
New York. where he remained for sew
eral weeks. Thnce he proceeded to
Canada. where he visited the stations
at Montreal and Toronto.
Recently he went to Boston and win
remain there three or four weeks be-
fore going to Baltimore. where he will
have conference with Prof. Able.
one of the oldest men in the weather
bureau service and really the founder
of the system. Senior Castaneda ex-
poets to profit greatly under his able
tutelage, and. with the conclusions he
has drawn from observations of fore
casting methods, believes he will be
able to recommend some definite plans
to his government.

Baptlsts Are
Against Dahlman
State Convention at Grand Island
Adopts Resolution Urging Mem
bers to Vote Against Him.

GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. Oct. T.-(special)
AT the Baptist state convention which
closed a six-day session here late last
night the following among other resolu-
tons was adopted:
Resolved, That we rejoice IN the cam
paign being made by the people OF our
state to elect legislature pledged to enact
county option law, inasmuch as the
ravaRes Of the saloon blight the homes
outside OF the municipalities. And in view
of the fact that the county as unit must
bear the cost of the traffic in Increased
taxes for poor houses. jails and the prose-
cuton of crimes traceable to the saloon,
therefore the rightfulness of the demand
for county option cannot he seriously de-
MED. We urge our people to work and
vote only for such candidates for the leg
islature as are pledged to county option.
Resolved, That the candidacy Of James
c. Dahlman for the governorship neces-
sarily involves the issue of Dahlmanism.
Dahimanism opposes the most sacred inter
ests of morality and public order. Its un-
concealed friendliness for the elements OF
vice and crime renders Dahlmanisln a
menace TO public morals. We therefore
appeal to all patriotic citizens to resist the
threatening invasion of our moral heritage
as a people and its resultant humiliation to
the good name of our state by voting
against james c. Dahlman for governor.
