eivInu the Weather It's Dues.

The Nations Business: Ever
since the days of Noah weather fore
casts, whether of private rheumatic
character or with official Ink print
ed on cardboard, have been targets
of ribald mirth and loud derision.
However. the rule might apply to
other seers, the weather prophet has
been without honor even in lands
not his own.
The tendency to belittle the
weather has enjoyed wide vogue.
In overformal social gatherings made
I'D of people intensely uninterested
in each other, there has always been
one standby when all other excuses
for conversation refused to serve
But these. like other popular forms
of Injustice, are becoming weakened
by progress. There is growing
feeling that the weather ought to be
given It's dues; to recognize what II
really means to commerce today and
what it has meant to history in the
past.
The money saved to the United
States through warnings OF floods
storms and droughts is impossible OF
computation. Foreknowledge OF a
single hurricane was responsible for
keeping safely in port vessels and
cargoes worth more than S3000O,OOO
Three and a half millions were saved
through a timely advance notice OF
one blizzard. Reports from single
small district in Florida showed that
warning of a freeze saved $1OO,OOt
worth of oranges and strawberries.
Think what could be saved If the
weather could be carried week or
fen davs in advance. This is the end
to which the weather experts are
working and they have reason To
hope that one Of these days we Will
be able to plan picnic week from
today, serene in tn assurance OF the
local weather man that the weather
will be warm and cloudless.
