dinner of the BOARD Of Trade OF the Fur
Industry OF New York at the Hotel
Aston last night. The organization WAS
described by w. S. Kies. vice-president
OF the National city Bank, as a real

been developed through the European
war. II has been developed In the sense
that Germany and England. which were
the great fur trading centres OF the
world. have been unable because Of the
wal to supply the demand and the
upited States has had TO tax a more
active part IN the manufacture OF FUR
products than in the past.
Speeches were made that showed the
manner in which Germany had been
the great middleman In The fur trade.
Constantin j. Medzikovsky. the Imperial
Russian commercial attache. showed that
Germany had sold more than 1000, 600
worth OF fur to the United states. while
Russia had sold less than 81 .0oo.""0 an

from Russia and had sold The finished

SCHEME DENOUNCED
Bureau Chief Warns Public
Against "LOng Range"
Prophecies.
AIMED At EX.OFFICIAL

wAsHrN0roN, March 2s.--From the
office Of the chief OF the United states
Weather Bureau there has Just been
issued Il warning to the public against
weather f%orecasting fallacies." II lays
stress on the latest Misrepresentation
in an alleged new system of long
range prophecies based on the riffs and
spottedness Of the sun and its shafts OF

The warning. signed by G. +. Marvin.
is said TO be aimed at the scheme OF
a former official Of the Weather Bureau.
II Is az follows:
Throughout It's history the Weather
Bureau has been called upon from time
to time 60 caution the general public
against the too creduious belief in alleged
new systems for fo~recastinc the weather
for weeks or months IN advance. or irt
schemes for the artificial production OF
rain. the prevention OF hail and other
proposals to control or modify atnos-
rheric phenomena or to forecast them a
long time in advance. P%rctensions Of
This character meet with u certain
crcdence because there are a Number Of
people who still cling to the ancient be-
lief In the influence of the moon on the
growth II development OF crops. and TO
tn" idc, that the weather conditions de-
pend upon planetary and astrological
combinations.
AS "a rule the general public Is only
partly familiar with modern scientific
facts and seems oycrready to accept con-
fidently at face Nalue almost any an
nouncen'ent Of alleged new discoveries,
especially when their exploitation IL
clothed in skilful illusions to items Of
the latest scientific information and is
accompanied by clever representations Of
the benefits that are to result.
