WEATHER BUREAUS
BIG Chief HERE
Laughingly Disclaims Any
Responsibility for Gloom
lest Day of Fall

Charles F. Marvin, the big chief of the
weather bureau, in Washington, was in
Birmingham yesterday. but he laughingly
disclaimed any responsibility for the
dreariest, rainiest and gioomiest day
Birmingham has experienced this fall.
While here Mr.. Marvin was the guest
of E. C. Horton, the local weather OBJ
server at the station on Fountain
Heights.
His trip to the south was in connec-
ton with some Investigations he has been
making regarding the big storm on the
gulf recently and on his way back to
Washington he stopped at only two inland
weather station points, Birmingham and
Admission.
He found conditions at the local station
highly satisfactory and comphmented
Mr.. Horton on the manner in which the
station here is conducted. Mr.. Marvin
also spoke in praise of the work the
newspapers are doing in connection with
getting information about the weather
to the people He said that such coop
Grafton is absolutely essential in order
to get the best results from the work the
bureau is doing.
The visitor left during the afternoon
for Admission, and from there will return
directly to Washington.

RAISING ANIMALS FOR ARMY
Government and Farmers Cooperating
In Production Of Cavalry and Ar.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
In order to encourage the production
of horses suitable for cavalry and light
artillery uses, the United States de-
partment of agriculture. In co-operat-
ing with the war department, has
placed in selected localities good,
sound stations of proper type and Of
fered mare owners special induce
ments to make use of them. This
plan, made possible by provision of
congress in 1913, grew out of the diff
Guilty the government has had in Sc
curing a sufficient number of army re-
mounts. Lighthouse stock had de
Perforated, due to the curtailed de
mand as a result of the growing popu
larity OF motor vehicles, and farmers
had turned their attention to improv
ing the heavier draft horse.
The plan consists primarily in plac-
ing stations of merit, registered in the
proper stud books and belonging to
the Thoroughbred. American Saddle,
standardized, and Morgan breeds in
suitable localities in Vermont, New
Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky. and Tennessee. Mare own
erS may breed to these stations on the
following terms. The owner of the
mare agrees in writing at the time of
breeding to give the government an OPP
ton on the resulting colt as three
year-old at a stated price, which so
far has been $3.50. No service fee is
charged unless the owner of colt
wishes to be released from the option,
in which case ii is SO.
This means that practically no
money is invested in service fees. If
the colt is purchased by the govern
ment no fee is charged. nor is there
any charge if the colt is offered To the
government and purchase refused be-
cause it does not qualify. The breed
er does not have to pay a service fee
on Il colt which dies, which is de-
formed, or which is seriously injured,
Only sound mares that approach either
a cavalry or a light artillery type are
used. Records taken June 80, 1917,
show that 3,0S9 colts have been pro-
duced since this plan was put in OPP

TOO OFTEN LACK HARMONY
Groups Of Houses, Especially In Sub
urbs Of American Cities, Express
a Spirit Of Unrest

Harmony in design in groups of
houses is coming to sense of appre-
citation, as is evidenced by several
housing schemes and the architectural
treatment followed In certain develop
ments.
The American, when ne builds for
himself, has strong desire for indi-
Viduality Of expression. This is shown
particularly in almost any suburb.
where you will see neighborhood of
houses in which many styles of archi-
lecture, class of materials, color
schemes, ETC., are represented. The
lines and shapes have no relation to
each other, so that as you look at the
group there is spirit of unrest and
clashing In many respects. The whole
group lacks repose and the homellke
feeling is interfered with, even al
though each individual house might
be good enough in itself.
Possibly this result is reaction
from the individuals having previously
lived in city rows of a stereotyped
plan; thus, having been previously sup
pressed. when the opportunity offers
they go to an extreme of expression,
or possibly 1t might in some cases be
due to the architects desire to have
the individuality of the house stand
out, or the wealth of materials and
knowledge of styles which we have
ut our disposal may also tend to this
variety in treatment. In any case
the result is not entirely satisfactory
and could be improved.
Variety and individuality sufficient
for reasonable nature may be OBJ
tanned even when the buildings are
designed with relation to each other,
and harmonic In line, shape, ma
terlals, color etc. and thus produce a
more artistic and homelike feeling to
each one and the entire group.

The haying season for tame hay
lasts about ten days. Sometimes

the acreage is large 1t takes longer
to get the hay made. The hay grower
should plan to get his hay made with

the amount of hay each machine will

amount Of labor required per ton Is
known, plans can be made to make n
certain amount of hay per day.
1t has been found that. under aver

When the haying season comes an
effort should be made to make as

many farms in the East the best re-
suits are not obtained, because hay Is
hauled only in the afternoon. This
practice lengthens the hayng season
and thus increases the chances of

certainly true that the French had
the best roads in the world when the
war broke out and that the men and
supplies which checked the first Ger
man rush went forward largely by
motor. 1t Is also true that break
down of all transportation facilities
prevented Russia from effectually mo-
bilizing her tremendous resources.
There is now federal office of good
roads. operating under the federal
road act. whereby the government APP
propriates funds for roads, provided
the states in which the roads are to
be built will appropriate similar
amount. This gives the government
the power to recommend the improve
ment or building of certain roads and
to diSapprove the Improvement or
building of others. 1t may exercise a
sort of advisory and mildly cOmpul-
sorry power toward the establishment
Of unified national system of roads.
But this power, II is argued, is by no
means sufficient in an emergency like
| the present. What is needed is the
| power to form definite plan for a
system of national highways, and the
funds to carry that plan into execu-
ton as rapidly ms possible.
For this new national system of
| highways must not only be thorough
~ co-ordinated. but must be radically
different from that of most of our
present roads. The failure of these
latter is largely due TO the fact that
roads which sufficed very we'll for the
traffic of light pleasure cars and farm
ers' wagons will not stand up under
the strain of heavy truck traffic. A
truck highway, to meet the require
ments now being laid upon 1t, must be
paved highway with concrete base.
| Such road is very expensive to
luild; 1t costs from $4,000 to $4,000
mile.

Westinghouse were unable to reach
the Maryland oasis.
This incident is no special discredit
to the Maryland ROAD builders. The
Washington Baltimore road was not
built for the amount and kind of traffic
1t Is now bearing. The same is true
of many other highways in all parts Of
the country. More and more motor
trucks are taking over what used to
be "short haul" railroad freight And
the short haul that is accomplished
by motortruck has gradually length
ened from ten or fifteen miles until
now much freight is carried 200 miles
In trucks.
Such facts are the basis of drive
being made on congress for legisla-
ton to empower the federal govern
ment 10 unity roads of the country into
comprehensive system and to spend
the money necessary to make the
roads adequate to meet the new re-
quiremcnts. The federal government,

plan. must do the work, because q
central authority Is absolutely neces-
sary to the perfection of national
system of roads.
The federal government should
spend the money, they say. because
their military value makes the roads
great national asset. This military
value of good roads Is already shown
by the dependence which the govern
mcnt is placing upon them for the
moving of troops and supplies. In Eu-
| rope it has been even more conyinc-
ingly demonstrated. 1t has been said
that good roads saved France and the

farmers. The brood mares are usual
ly farm work animals which generally
pay for their feed by doing farm work,
and the colts are brought up to birth
without cost. High-class stations are
available for the mare owners use.
Community breeding which is of in
estimable value, Is encouraged. The
object of the remount breeding work
is to select for and breed sound horses
possessing quality. stamina and en-
durance which conform to the army's
needs, and such animals will also be
useful for general farm work especial
ly in mountainous sections. While it
is true that the heavy draft horse Is
more valuable for most farm work,
there are many sections where light
horses are better suited because of
their activity, surefootedness, superb
or lung capacity and endurance.
The governments plan of aiding
farmers in producing army horses is
giving them material as we'll as edu-
cational aid in developing an impor-
tant phase of their farming opera
tions. Good horse power is indispen-
sable to successful farming and good
horses cannot be produced without
good sires. From the agricultural
standpoint alone. the publication says,
the remount breeding work should be
extended to other suitable localities,
