DIVERGENCE OF VIEWS ON
NEW WEATHER SYSTEM
Prof. Marion, U. s. Bureau Chief,'
Finds No Sound Scientific Basis
for the Advanced Forecasting.

That there is practically no sound
scientific foundation in the recently
discussed system of forecasting wealth
er for a long time in advance" was the
opinion expressed by Prof. Charles F..
Marvin. chief of the weather bureau,
at the dinner Of the Ohio State Uni
versity Association held at the New Eb-
bitt Hote: Thursday night.
Prof. Marvin said that the weather
bureau has received number of let
tiers from Mr.. Carothers. discoverer Of
the new system, and that his reports
have been carefully investigated.
I'VE are convinced" Prof. Marvin de-
clared, that there is practically moth
ing at all in the alleged new system"
Prof. Willis J. Moore, former chief
of the weather bureau. who champions
the Carothers system, when told OF
Prof Mar n's st.-tement. said:
The Carothers predictions Will
doubtless be- published in some of the
Washington papers. and the Washing
ton public can judge for itself as to
the merits Of the Carothers system and
that employed by the weather bureau"

Heretofore the operators have re-

The company has now increased this

Boobar, of from $50 to 500 a year in
their earnings.

MISSOURI ENACTMENT
BASIS Of navy PLANT

Capt. Ridley Mclean, Judge advocate
general Of the navy. has recommended
that legal steps be taken to give OFF,
GERS and enlisted men Of the Army.
Navy and Marine Corps the privileges
Missouri. which. 1t appears. they are
denied under the state constitution.
Recently he asked Gen. A. q. Patter-
son. Judge advocate general Of the Ma
tional Guard Of Missouri. for informa-
ton on the subject.
Gen. Patterson replied that broad
and liberal construction of the con-
stftution OF Misss dri would permit the
reserves for the army and navy to ex-
ercise the right of franchise" He held.
however, that the Missouri constitution
absolutely disfranchfsed' officers. SOL
diers and marines OF the regular Army,
Navy and Marine Corps.
Repugnant to Federal Constitution.
In his reply Capt. Mclean said: I'm
my opinion the above cited provision of
the Missouri constitution is clearly re-
pugnant to the federal Constitution.
and, therefore. null and void as applied
to persons belonging to the regular
navy who are otherwise qualified vo-
ters in that state; and that should such
persons in the regular navy be denied
the right of suffrage by the Missouri
authorities the department should lend
its assistance and request the co-opera-
ton of the Department Of Justice in
obtaining an authoritative decision in
the federal courts as to the validity
Of such discriminatory provision
against persons in the regular navy as
a class
TT may be noted that other persons
denied the right of suffrage by the
same article of the Missouri constitu-
ton are inmates of poorhouses. asy-
victed of felony or other infamous
crime. In the same category with the
foregoing are placed officers, soldiers
and marines in the regular army, or
navy of the United states. who are sim
ilarly denied the right to vote at cleo
tions in the state"

NAMES MOVIES As AID
TO PAPER PRODUCERS
Secretary Redfeld Suggests Plan for
Inducing People to Engage in
Rag-Saving.

Display of slides in the moving PFC
ture theaters pointing out the shortage
of raw materials for paper manufac-
ture, asking the people to save their
papers and rags and telling them how
to dispose of them would help ma
terially in the campaign to get the
people to save their old papers and
rags, Secretary Redfield said today. He
declared that the suggestion came to
him in a letter from NJ. F. Glessner'
secretary of paper manufacturing
company at Modena, Pa.
Greatest Need Pointed Out.
The greatest need in the present
movement, the letter further pointed
out, was that of telling the people how
to dispose of their collections. The let
ter said the paper manufacturers could
take only certain kinds, as they could
not use all grades. They should first
go TO the sorters. who would know
what factories took the diherent
grades.
third stage had been reached in the
campaign of paper and rag saving: IL
is that of instructing the people how
to utilize their old papers and rags.
Today he instructed DIR. E. E. Pratt,
chief of the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce. to have prepared
pamphlet telling how to save, sell and
sort paper stock.

BALTIMORE, March 18.-Having de-
livered, for the second time in the day

pie, a sermon on Motherhood" which
brought tears to the eyes of hundreds
of men and women and youths. Billy
Sunday climaxed his service last even
ing with a spectacle which will endure
as one of the memorable high lights OF
his Baltimore campaign. He was max
ing his concluding prayer before call
ing for trail-hitters. The heads OF the
multitude were bowed and the evan
gelist's voice. throbbing with emotion,
was lifted in an appeal-typical. the
essence of sincerity to most who heard
him; shocking, perhaps. to the thor
oughly orthodox. Except for his voice
there was a silence disturbed only by
the half distinguished breathing Of the
thousands
Testimonial to Mother.
While your heads are still bowed"
said Sunday. switching from prayer to
address in a manner peculiarly his
own, IT want every man ano woman to
put your handkerchief over your left
hand. with your fingers closed like
this (demonstrating). And when I give
the word raise that hand on high as
q monument to your mother. to at. the
mothers of the world"
There was a great rustic through the
audience as hands were thrust into
pockets. into handbags or muffs for
handkerchiefs. Never word was
said, there were no EXPLANATIONS OF
surprise by the audience. Sundays au-
diences are not easily surprised.
In the audience last night were about
500 persons from eight Washington
churches, who had come over on a spe-
cial electric train.
