INTEREST GROWS
IN ORGANIZATION
Property Owners, Businessmen
and Residents Booming Up
town Merchants Association

Interest in the formation of an Up
town Merchants Association is in
creasing on all sides. as the business
men, property owners and residents
in that section of the city learn just
what the organization proposed will
mean to the welfare of the district.
The new method of street lighting,
advocated and promised for North
Third street, between North and Reilly
streets, has been a long felt want and
when accomplished will be the first
big step toward the improvements in
the uptown district which 1t should
have, according to men residing in
that section.
The association when formed will
investigate conditions thoroughly in
the vicinity, so that the members can
understand what is most needed for
the benefit of the people.
The placing of street standards in
Third street, when completed will re-
place the former system of arc lights.
Other sections needing improved
lighting will be looked up later. it is
understood.
Want Better Car Service
Car service for residents in the dis
trict will be another matter which the
A'@NAtASSAS "a bAiO bSAiApoi elAy VI
ton are, already discussing. Others
not members at present, also are in
teresting themselves in this move. Car
service both north and south in Third
street, will be advocated in order to
accommodate the people in that dis
trict. At present the Third street
cars, after reaching North street, turn
up and go uptown in Capitol and
Fourth streets.
Residents in the uptown district, in
many instances, must either ride to
Seneca street, and back again, or
walk from Fourth street, down to
their homes.
Cooperative advertising already
being used by the businessmen, is
bringing fine results, showing the in
terest manifested in the entire plan.
Suggestions are being made daily, ana
will be considered carefully before
any action is taken.
The new organization will be form
ed in all probability during January
of the new year, according to plans
being completed by present men,
bers of the temporary association.
Enthusiasm is running high in the
proposition, because it is thought that
an active cooperating body of bust
nessmen in the district affected can
accomplish more than personal efforts
of a few persons.

EDUCATORS PLAN
GREAT MEETING
Two Governors and Many
Prominent Men Will Be
Speakers at Scranton

From all appearances, the State
educational meeting to be held in
Scranton on December 1929 will be
the largest educational gathering ever
held in Pennsylvania. Reports COM
ing from President III. II. Baish, of
the Pennsylvania State Educational
Association, show that up to this time
the registration for the year is a record
breaker. Many superintendents of
schools throughout the State have sent
IN registration lists of 100 per cent. of
the teachers in their employ.
The committee in charge of arrange
ments in Scranton is making elaborate
preparations for the reception and en-
tertalnment of the visiting teachers.
The hotels in Scranton have been re-
serving rooms for the convention as
far back as October. A. II. Welles,
principal of the Central high school,
scranton. is the chairman of the COM
mlttee on rooms and has large list of
private rooms for those who can not
be accommodated in the hotels. Hotel
casey is the headquarters of the con-
Vention and the meetings are to be
held in the Lackawanna courthouse,
Central high school and the Technical
high school.

Weather Man at Work

The professional humorist hard
pressed for material can generally get
off an old one at the expense of the
weather man. Maybe that is why
there is a general impression abroad
that weather forecasts are unreliable
They are not-they are remarkably
accurate. as a mater of fact, and they
are followed implicitly by thousands
of big men in scores of big industries.
Warnings displayed for single hur-
ricane have detained in port vessels
and cargoes valued at $30,000,00
That hurricane transpired as predicted,
too, and number of those ships would
probably have found port on the bot
tom but for the vigilance of Uncle
Sam. Such service is of inestimable
value, not only at sea, but on land
one warning of an approaching cold
wave is known to have saved
$3,000,0 900 worth of property from in
jury and destruction. Warnings of
frost and freezing weather are fol-
lowed with closest interest by fruit
and vegetable growers The daily
weather forecast is mailed to 1856, 900
addresses and 100000 telephone sub
scribers learn it's contents daily over
the wire.
The picture shows the observation
tower at the Weather Bureaus central
office, one of the $500 similar towers
that spy on wind and cloud all over
the country, and with the 1000 ma
rine stations on shipboard furnish the
great mass of data on which the ex-
perts of the bureau base their fore
cast. These forecasts are borne out
by the next days weather whenever
the areas of rain and widd, of high
and low barometer, follow their ordi-
nary paths, which they do about four
times out of five. The fifth time some
capricious frost or windstorm follows
an unreasonable course of its own, and
then the bureau is wrong. But the
experts always win as long as the
weather plays the game according to
the rules.

COMPARES JAPANESE QUESTION To

can assure you that II Is well worth
the while 10 hear tie after-dinner
speeches that are made. My stories
are tame and fossiIized beside them.
Yet am glad to say they were gen.
erous enough to laugh at some of the
chestnuts we pulled off when responds
ing for Ohio.
Looking al the japanese question
as enc must at close range, there are
some phases OF II which may well give
us concern.
The Japanese are an aggressive
people; furthermore, they are intelli-
gent and they are crafty
They are already overcrowded In
their own country and necessity is
forcing them TO seek other lands and
new homes. This makes them men

edge they possess, when the time
comes, they will not hesitate to dis
place us II they can.

with the world, but it is always well
to be able to maintain ones right what
ever may betide. and this brings this
article to the army and navy as rep

Through the courtesy of the off,
GERS OF the army and navy we were
able to get especial privileges and in
sight into the question of our pre-
paredness and the needs in Oahu The
conclusions we reached after viewing

posts, was that Oahu, chief of the Ha.

outpost for the United States. that
from 1t might come the first signal OF
invasion from the Far East, and upon
its citizens depends the holding in
