Washington, Dec. 20. - When the
on-magnetic yacht Carnegie dropped

more than three years, the gigantic

Prof. l.. A. Bauer, director OF the
department of terrestrial magnetism
Of the institution and originator of
the project has prepared his report
for 1913, which he made public yes
terday. 1t includes the data of he
most recent voyage Of the Carnegie
and a chart showing the wanderings
of that vessel and her predecessor in
afale work, the Galilee. through every
DseA where the steamer routes lie the
Ytract winds n twists. Observations
(of compass readings were noted
every 200 miles or SO and In every
part of the world the accuracy of the
delicate instruments was tested by
swinging the ship and passing her
through the circle Of the compass
card TO prove up the correctness of
the readings,
On the ships charts all inaccuracies
Of regular navigation compass points
have been noted and the institution is
now prepared to furnish shipmasters
in virtually any part of the world
with true compass readings, against
which their own instruments may be
checked and the error noted due to
magnetic attraction aboard steel yes

the figures were at once available for

city by the women, Street Commits
sioner Moore operated four wagons
two days in hauling off the rubbish
and cans and other undesirable stuff
that the hustling boys OF the town
had accumulated and stacked ready
for the wagons. The cleanup spirit
still abides with the people and many
bonfires are seen each evening de-
stroyins the waste papers and trash
'ha. accumulates from day to day.
Ardmore is a cleaner town as re-
suit of the crusJie. Another result
is that the clean up spirit has come
to stay ard more pride is being taken
in growing flowers and roses and
neater fences are being built.
The freeze caught the gardens Just
as the radishes and spring turnips
and a dozen other good things to eat
were peeping through the ground and
the onion crop and the lettuce bed
were about the only vegetables that
stood the storm. Onions were beaten
by the hail stones and frozen with
the fall of sleet and they do not
have a very healthy appearance. The
work of replanting is now going mer-
rily on and not many days hence the
garden plots will be green again.

Editor Ardmoreite:

Editor Ardmoreite:
read a communication in yester-
days paper that touched a responsive
chord in my own heart, that was from
one who signs himself or herself "A
Moving Picture Fam" protesting
against the use of so many advertis-
ing slides in the picture shows of
the city. | want to say right here
that |, as another fan, desire to sane
tion every word contained in that
communication and heartily agree
that it is high time for the public,
who patronize these places and make
their success possible, to register a
vigorous protest against converting,
as 'Fan" says, their theatres into
advertising agencies at so much per
admission.
1t seems that the hour has arrived
for the patrons to kick, as the situa'
tior is gradually growing worse, and
about the most convincing argument
to use in case the nuisance is not
abated is to remain away from the
picture shows.

DENNETT HEADS
 TRADE BOARD
Former Vice President
 Succeeds Dr. Ancil Mar tin; Other Officers Elect ed Including Welch; Ex-
 pertinent Station Meeting

Quietly and with little ceremony, and inaugurated president of the Phoenix board of trade for the fiscal year just beginning at yesterdays meeting of the new board at the Adams hotel As was customary, pr. called the meeting and presided As was customary also, the first vice president of the old regime was chosen to succeed to the highest of flee. \. l.. Moore was made first vice president, George Olney second vice president, George Lutgerding treasurer and Harry Welch secretary.
 Dr. Dennett, of rose committee fame, is one of the strongest mem bers of the board. Always a willing worker, he has left his impress on practically every department of the splendid institution that has been built up in the past few Years. It is the unanimous opinion of the board that no better executive could be found than Dr. Dennett familiar as he is with every phase of the work Of the board of trade. and all wished him a most successful and prosper GUS term in office.
 The name of A. l.. Moore appeared oh every committee on which hard work and lots of it deVOlVed during the year just ended. He was indefa- tigable in the discharge of his duties at the head Q. various sections of the work and was seen at practically every meeting of the board Harry Welch needs no explanation. The reason his name was again ordered printed on the letter heads as secre- tary is-Harry Welch The other of ficers were selected unanimously and because they were known to be the proper men for the places.
 An important change was made in setting the meeting hour on Thursday back to four instead of at
