WEATHER PROPHETS
JOIN THE I'm BAD CLUB" "
Predictions Fail, but They Keep
on PrOphesying.

Something wrong with this weather
business. Even so well-known an au-
thority as Weather Prophet De Voc, of
Hackensack, who is as intimate. with
weather conditions as if they belonged
to the family, has been handed a bad
brand of advance information by some
deceitful party.
Take the present month for instance:
On Monday Professor De Voc had rea-
son to believe it would be bright,
sunny day. Instead of that there was
rain and fog. Tuesday should have
been a warm, balmy day, but instead
there was more rain and more fog.
Wednesday was to be the finest day OF
the week. yet what happened was rain,
more rain, and then some rain, with a
little fog on the side. Thursday was
to have been a pretty rough day, ac-
cording to Professor De Voc. A
screeching storm was booked for this
section, but again the combination
failed, and it began to look as though
it would clear.
Today was to have been rainy and
disagreeable, but up to a late hour
there was no evidence that umbrellas
would have to be dregged out again
after their long service this week. So
far as tomorrow is concerned Newark
is due to have rain and lots of it.
while on Sunday a big snow storm is
threatened Just what the next day
or two will produce in the way of
weather IL is of course hard to say.
and it would be the height of folly for

TRENTON, March 4.--Plans for a
uniform system of city auditing and
bookkeeping and for regulating the
bonded Indebtedness OF cities were sub
ntted by the legislative committee of
the conference of mayors at a meeting
of the conference held In the State
House today Forty city executives
were present, among them Mayor
Haussling, of Newark
A part of the plan for a system of
auditing provides for the appointment
of State auditor to examine the sac-
counts of every county and munich
paIity to see that the requirements Of
the law are observed. The auditor will
be under~the control of the State, but
the expenses of his department and the
making of inspections will be borne by
the localities. This proposition was
adopted and a bill embodying the rec
concentrations will be introduced in the
Legislature. 1t will provide a fine of
five hundred dollars to be imposed on
any municipality which refuses to sub
NIT to an audit.
The bond issue regulation provides
that issues Of bonds shall not exceed
2 per cent. of ratables in counties, 7
boroughs and other municipalities 1t
also provides restrictions as to the
purposes for which bonds may be is
sued.
The point was raised by Mayor
Haussling, Of Newark, that the plan
outlined might interfere with Newark
carrying out it's scheme for reclaiming
meadow lands. 1t was suggested by
Mayor Fisk, Of Plainfeld, who presided,
that the bill should be submitted to
the, Legislature and there amended If it
did not suit Newark.
Taxing UP Governor Forts suggestion
of adopting a shorter ballot at munich
pal elections, President Fisk pointed
out that the proposition would involve
such important changes In existing laws
that 1t would be unwise to make any
changes this year.
Taxation D7scussed. s.
Mayor Spencer, of Passaic, reporting
upon the question of taxation, said
that the time of the present session of
the Legislature was too short to dis
pose Of the subject. His committee
recommended that the Legislature
should appoint a joint committee to
consider the subject.
After some discussion the conference
adopted by divided vote a resolu-
ton recommending the elimination of
all "frills' and superfuous work in
the schools and the shortening of the
school term, so that vacation shall in
clude half the month of June and July,
August and September.
President Fisk named a committee
to confer with the Legislative committee
which is investigating the affairs of the
public schools. The committee is COM
posed of Mayor Spencer. of Passaic;

Two telephone girls were talking over
the wire one day. The subject of the
conversation was lawn party, which
was to take place the next day. Both
were discussing what they should wear,
and after five minutes had come to no
decision. In the midst of this CONVEX
sation a masculine voice interrupted,
asking humbly what number he had.
The lack of reply did not squelch the
inquirer, for he asked again for the
number.
One of the girls became indignant
and scornfully asked:
"What line do you think you are on,
anyhowf"
"Well," said the man, 'I am not
sure, but judging from what L have
heard, should say was on the clothes
