Hi School Notes

This week has been more than
abundant in high school activities.
MIR. Longfellow, that expert swim
mer. the Red Cross lite saving man,
instructed the high school boys Mon
day evening in the y. NJ. {. a. tank.
On Tuesday afternoon at /
O'Clock assembly. this large jovial
friend of humanity so successfully
covered the unpleasant side of his
occupation with a thick veneer of
bumor that his talk to the students
was more than we'll received.
He demonstrated swimming and
life saving with the help of some OF
the best swimmers in the girls ad-
yanced class at the ''T" on Tuesday
afternoon. He also started on its
way an excellent movement for or
ganizing a womans life saving corps
in Olympia.
Mr.. Frank Bonn. the eminent pub
licist and author. gave a most excel
lent address on Bolshevism and ex-
planned the real conditions in Eu-
rope, Tuesday night. He is well in
formed concerning the true facts, as
he was a member of the United
States diplomatic corps in Germany,
Switzerland, Bavaria. Russia. Austria
Hungary, and Poland The business
OF this corps was to circulate all pos
sible propaganda explaining to these
people the true principles of dem
Ocratic form of government The
keynote of his speech was the out
standing fact that no such thing as
republicanism exists in Europe The
republics, especially Germany's, are
so instigated by the kings as to force
the people to welcome a returning
monarchy.
AS a tribute to the letter men of
last autumn's team, the manager of
the Strand theater invited as his
guests the football team. the coach
and Is young ladies to attend the
opening of a new serial. which
showed fine football game After
the matinee he entertained them at
Princes. Everyone enjoyed them
selves and from now on they're going
to boost the Strand. When We find
someone is friend of ours like that,
we're for them!

SNOWFALL IN THE ELEVATED
REGIONS OF WASHINGTON
Highest Recorded for Many Years
Past.

The snowfall of January. 1920. in
the elevated regions of the state, was
one of the highest ever recorded for
the month, as shown by the reports
of 81 mountain snowfall and cooper
ative observers. U. S. forest service.
and l.. S. reclamation service EN-
ployes.
New snow fall to total amount
averaging IS to 20 inches for the
month at the various measurement
stations located in the Cascade noun
greatest totals recorded being 80
inches at Paradise Inn. As inches in
the upper Clealum valley, also at
Dirtyface mountain. and 40 inches at
Cascade tunnel An average Of about
5.4 inches fell in the Okanogan high
lands and SO inches at points in the
foothills near the Blue mountains.
These amounts are all very much
less than snowfall in the same regions
during January, 1908. which was the
lightest January snowfall of previous
years.
There was but little or no snow on
the ground at the beginning of the
month. and during the first half
there was SO little fresh snow, and
the temperature was SO uniform and
moderately cold that the depth of
snow continued slight and nearly con-
slant. But from about the 18th to
the goth "Chinooks" and warm rains
greatly decreased what snow there
was except at very high elevations,
and melted 1t from southern slopes.
This run-off added greatly to the den
sity of snow accumulated in ravines,
gulches. and heavily timbered spots,
giving to it high water content. No
density reports have been received,
however.
On the oath and for a day or two
following, light to moderate depths
of snow fell in the mountain regions,
increasing the depth until the 9th,

to make a proper forecast and issue
adequate warnings. The fate of whole
cities rested on his decision. AS he
turned from his study of the telegraph
lc reports received from the eastern
and southeastern section of the coun-
try, he joked little-but in the man
ner Of one whose joviallty was trifle
forced, perhaps-about his repeated
hard luck at being on duty EVERY
time one of these storms hove In
sight" There was an unmistakable
tenseness in his manner as he studied
the map, pointing to the low barom-
eter area that was moving steadily to-
ward the southern states.
Weather Forecast Correct.
The next chapter in the hurricanes
brief history is told In the weather re-
port of September O: "The tropical
storm was central Tuesday night and
little south OF Key West where the
barometer read 29.0S inches with
wind velocity OF 60 miles an hour from
the northeast. The storm Is apparent
ly moving nOrthwestward, and will
pass into the Gulf Of Mexico during
Tuesday night"
How speedily and decisively the
forecaster had acted in the face of the
oncoming peril is indicated by the
next sentence: warnings to ship
ping and other interests have been
regularly sent since Monday morning
when storm warnings were first dis
played on the south Florida coast"
The following As hours were laden
with grave responsibility for the staff
Of the weather bureau. It was theirs
to decide at the earliest possible mo-
ment consistent with accuracy in what
direction the storm now moving with
increasing power and rapidity would
travel as II came nearer the mainland.
On Wednesday, September 10, the re-
port read, "The tropical storm passed
Key West, Fla, about midnight Tues
day night with the barometer reading
1881 inches, and estimated wind We
locity Of no miles an hour from the
east" Here was evidence that one OF
the most violent storms of recent
years was about to strike at some
point on the Gulf coast.

structiOn."
To fight the hurricane Extensively is
folly. For ages mankind has been able
to wage only defensive war against
Its terrifying drives" and these eff
forts have been, until modern times
pitlfully feeble. Mans only defense
Is to be forewarned. That 1t has been
possible in the present generation to
reduce death toll Of hurricanes to a
minimum, is due to the marvellous
service maintained by the United
States weather bureau.
The headquarters of the weather
bureau, located quite to one side of
main-traveled thoroughfares in the
national capital, are the nerve center
Of this unique organization which ex-
tends across the continent and also
far out to sea, since many vessels CO.
operate with the bureau by making
daily reports to It.
Great Storm Sighted.
Early In September a hurricane.
destined to devastate wide area bor-
dering the Gulf of Mexico, reared its
head like great monster a thousand
miles to the southeast of the United
States, among the islands of the Car
lbbean. AS to what gave 1t birth not
even the scientist knows. The forces
that propagate all of these storms are
shrouded In mystery. This particular
hurricane was born in remote tropical
waters, probably about September s.
A few hundred miles north of this
center OF disturbance the sen was rel
atively calm and passengers on steam
ers passing this way had no intima-
ton Of the terrific force that was
generating off to the south. Likewise,
the southland OF the United States lay
placid. in part bathed In sunshine and
In part shaded by far-stretching blank
cts of clouds, many of them so fleecy
that to the casual observer they car
ried no suggestion Of the coming storm.
But the hurricane In the tropics gath
cred strength quickly and flung Itself
in fury over the slender chain of is
lands constituting the Florida keys.
In the face Of every such rising
peril the meteorologist upon whom
rests the responsibility for making
daily forecasts, stands like one facing
a thief In the dark. Beyond the main
land coast and a few scattered sta
lions In the West Indies, he has no
means of learning Of the changing
atmospheric conditions In those seas
to the south and east. save chance re-
ports from ships. Early reports OF
this hurricane were meager indeed.
The first intimation Of the coming Of
disaster was received September s.
The daily forecast for that date stated
that a tropical storm had appeared
to the southeast Of Key West. But
as to It's extent. or Its course. the chief
forecaster at that time could only con-
lecture.
Despite his long experience In his
profession. II was Inevitable that the
forecaster should be anxious-every
meteorologist who is forecasting at
such a time Is anxious. He had been
on duty 10 seasons past when not a
<ngis hurricane appeared. But In
other years between July and October

the journal EahiMas down faost Of d
column without getting anywhere aid
without answering the News-Rndget's
article Of Dec. o6, which was inspired
by a Journal slam at the governments
Liberty bond campaigns coupled with
the statement that the remark was
thrown solely to rifle" the News-Bud-
get. If, as we trust, the Journal sue
ceeded in getting the desired result
from us, we submit that that was the
nearest to laudable reason for his re-
peated filings at the Liberty Bonds the
Journal scribe has yet advanced.
Let's get back down to brass tacks
on this. The News-Budget does not see
where anyone's personal habits, wheth-
er they went fishing on Sunday or not,
or who has the corner on the heroism
If organizing the state guard, or any
other eXtraneous matter, has any
place as an argument in supporting the
Journals attitude on the Liberty
Bonds.
Note this difference: The News
Journals attitude on the Liberty
Bonds; the Journal. displaying rare
depth of argument, comes. back with
childish reply of personal filings. Does
the Journal print our reply. that his
readers may judge, and proceed by
mentS or statements set forth? Not on
your life.
The Journals attitude on the Lib
erty Bonds was absolutely wrong, but
there is such thing as knowing you
are wrong and being too stubborn TO
admit it.
The News-Budget has made numer-
Gus mistakes and will continue to make
them in spite of our best efforts The
ws-Budget was wrong in believing
that volunteers would be plenty and
CONSUMPTION unnecessary. but gu
opposition to it was while the PROPOSE
ton was being discussed and not after
our government decided and announced
that that would be the way the govern
ment would depend on for raising the
men it NEEDED.
The Journal would have been with
in its province to oppose the Liberty
Bond proposition while it was theory
under discussion and not a fact but it
was absolutely and uneQuivOcally
wrong in its opposition to them after
our government decided that that was
to be the means depended on for rails
ing the money it needed.
The News Budget challenges ! the
Journal TO print the latter part of this
article including a straight out and out
answer to these questions
Did the Journal support the govern
ment in selling Liberty Bonds? If so.
produce one editorial urging your
readers TO purchase them.
Do YOU think it was the patriotic
duty of newspapers in this country to
refer to the governments articles on
the Liberty Bond issues as lies and
rot. as you did?
In conclusion. we fear that if this
thrilling continued story lasts long
enough the readers of the Journal will
have an encyclopedia of several volumes
of the various and divers short-com-
ings. criminal perhaps we
should say. recOrd-viciOus traits. rank

disreputable sheet is going to plead
guilty to something in the first degree
and take our punishment.
