MAY INVESTIGATE
WEATHER BUREAU
FREQUENT BLuNDERs IN FORE
CASTS" ExcITEs CURIOSITY
OF HOUSE MEMBERS.
WEATHERMAN A FAILURE
Experts Put In one-Half of Their
Time Making Mistakes, the
Other Half in DabbIing in
Politics, Says Member.

Washington, D. C.-The failure OF
the government bureau to accurately
forecast the weather for days upon
which important events have been
scheduled to take place probably will
result in an investigation of the bu-
eau The evidence of lack of proper
knowledge of a scientific character,
necessary in the field of m~eterology,
was first manifested in the weather
prediction for the presidents inaugua-
ton day. The forecast for the presi-
dents silver wedding also was inaccu.
rate, and the climax was reached
when the weather man fell fat in
his prediction for the opening day of
the Chicago aviation meet.
The obvious mistakes of the wealth
er bureau experts and the 'lond-Wind-
ed" explanations which have usually
followed them on several recent i'm
portant occasions have absolutely con-
WINGED some of the leaders of con-
gress that there is something radi.
cally wrong with the weather bureau.
The committee on expenditures in
the department of agriculture, which
is investigating the Wiley charges, is
expected to turn its attention next to
Prof, Willis Moore and his assistants.
Forecaster In Politics.
"The experts of the weather bureau
put in half their time making mis-
takes and the other half bringing pc
litical pressure to bear on congress
to prevent somebody being scalped
for them,' said a member of congress
who, because of his official connection
with the committee of the house hav
ing to do with the weather bureau
did not wish to have his name men
toned.
1T seems to be the policy Of the of
ficials of that bureau to attempt theil
self-perpetuation in office by playing
politics. 1t has always been my expe
rience that when a government off
cial in an executive department play
politics the government and the sery
ice suffer.
""This cry of wolf at the wron,
time has aroused my suspicion. /
there is any service in the govern
ment that needs close official atten
ton right now it is the weather bu
reau. Just as soon as congress cal
get around to it that bureau will re
ceive careful attention and its organ
lied pe%rpetuation in office propagand
will have ample opportunity to g
against something that will not b
t~errorized by it."

Reward Had Been Offered.

The discovery brought to an END a
vigil by the elder Schmid, who had Of
fered a reward of $500 for the capture

a search by Schorr's relatives, who

side.

Wild Dogs In Africa.

The wild dogs in Africa are more
feared by the natives than any otbe,
beasts, for, while they are not to h
digniHed by the term Of game, they
run In packs and cen to know that
the native Is afraid OF them. Native
burden bearers will often take their
chances In passing around a buffalo
herd and viii hardly notice a lion. but
when they hear the howl Of the wild
dogs they drop whatever they may be
balancing on their heads and take 10
the trees. There they are frequently
held captive until their cries summon
assistance. Crossing the trail Of large
game. these dogs often interfere with
the pursuit. At a distance the hunter
Is likely to mistake them for leopards
or some OF the smaller game. Intense
disgust follows the wounding Of a wfd
dog, for then, according to the ethics
Of the chase, the true sportsman must
pursue and kill the beast. These dogs
are not d~egenerates, but are natural
mongrels. They have low bodies Gov
cred with hair Of coach dog growth,
bushy tails and powerful paws.-Mc
