WEATHER FORECASTS FOR NO.
TOR ROUTES

The Weather Bureau Of the U. s.
Department OF Agriculture has ar
ranged, in cooperation with the State
Highway Commission of Pennsylvaia,
to aid the automobile and motor-truck
traffic during the coming winter over
the Lincoln Highway between Pitts
burgh and Harrisburg by giving out
daily information of the weather con-
ditions prevailing over the route and
issuing weather forecasts and warn
ings of heavy SHOWS and cold waves
for the region traversed. The plan
is for the assistant superintendent of
highways at points along the route to
report to the Weather Bureau office at
Pittsburg at o'clock each morning
by telephone or telegraph the depth
of snow or ice on the highway, giving
its general condition. These reports
are published in the newspapers and
furnished to the different automobile
clubs, thus becoming available to au-
tomobile and motor-truck drivers
passing over the highway. The fore
casts and warning are given public
distribution and telegraphed to the
superintendent of highways at Harris
burg, who gives instructions to his
forces along the highway to make pro-
visions for the anticipated weather
conditions. This service was in oper-
alton last winter and gave great salts
faction. The Weather Bureau is ready
to give similar service to other traf-
fc routes as may be desired.
