Golden Gate Foos.

The fogs of the Pacific, and espe-
cially those on the coast of California
and Washington, present some char
acteristic features of their own. They
are low lying, dense and of frequent
and regular occurrence, cnd have been
the cause directly and indirectly OF a
large percentage of marine disasters
in the vicinity OF San Francisco. Ow-
ing to the general movement of the air
from the sea toward the land, and the
climate of the great interior valley, fog
is frequent and well marked. In sum
mer the afternoon sea fog varies in
depth from 100 TO 100 feet, but 1t
rarely reaches far inland.
On some afternoons the velocity OF
the wind at San Francisco rises with
almost clockllke regularity to about
twenty-five miles an hour, and solid
wall of fog, averaging 1900 feet in
height, comes through the Golden
Gate, causing a fall in temperature to
about that of the sea-namely,, ,,55 aNe'
grees Fahrenheit.
The upper level of the fog can be
plainly seen from the hills in the, vi
cinity. Above the fog level the air is
cloudless, and the afternoon ,tempera'
ture ranges from so degrees Fahrep
heit to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, yiir

The doctors eyebrows began TO
contract There was a peculiarity in
the facial gesture. Something was
going on in his scientifically inquiring
mind The brows drew together until
their separate lines curved into the
form of a minute interrogation point;
little knobs of skin gnarled under the
bristles: his eyes focused until they
almost crossed. He clasped his hands

PASSES A
BIG PENSION BILL
Abolishes Agencies as De-
manded by the House in
the $15O,OOO, 900 Act.
(Natfonal News Assoctation)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IS
The senate yesterday yielded to the
demands of the house for the aboli-
ton of the pensions agencies through
out the United States and passed the
$3.50, ,0OO,0 pension appropriation bill
with provision for the abolishment of
the agencies Jan. 81, 1918.
The action of the senate prevented
what is claimed would have been the
greatest financial crisis in the history
of the pension bureau. The San Fran
cisco agency had balance of Z cents
and Detroit only cents. This condi-
ton was due to the delay of congress.
Many Pensioners Unpaid.
The extension of the old appropria-
ton bill for fifteen day period so
that one-twenty-fourth of last years
appropriation might be used to pay
less than half of the SIS, 100000 due on
August 4th, left 100000 pensioners un-
paid at Indianapolis, Knoxville, Louis
vile, New York, Philadelphia. and To
peka.
Acting Pension Agent Fountain at
New York had reported that condi-
tions there were serious. as many army
and naval pensioners are destitute.
The funds available today were only
1919 at Philadelphia; s97 at Louis
vile, where 100000 is due; sS7 at
New York City; not cent at Con-
cord, n. H.; at indianapolis only
enough to last one day: Columbus 1924
and Boston, S145.
Regular Army in Same Trouble.
The veterans were not alone in their
dilemma. Practically all the regulars
at army posts in the United States
have received no pay since June l.
This extraordinary situation was
caused by the delay in passing the
general deficiency bill. The regular
army appropriation had been exhaust
ed in May. and the war department
was depending on the deficiency bill
for more money.
Officers have received most of their
pay because they are obliged to sup
port themselves. The war department
felt the enlisted men would suffer
least because the government provides
everything for them. quarters, cloth.
ing, food and medical attendance.
