fourteen, though 1 later found she

looked just a little tired, but every

proposed to restore certain features of

itself. Substations would be maintained
at various points along the canal for the
dissemination of weather information.
In addition to the land service, the
bureau wishes to provide for the e2ten-
sion of marine reports by wireless from
vessels plying the waters of this region,
so as to provide the safest possible in
