Keep 1t Up

Six hundred men attended one church
on one Sunday in Middlebury recently and
almost 400 attended one church On the
same Sunday in Bristol. There was a
church attendance contest on between thu
towns and Middlebury manhood was
rounded up by a community spirit which

strange that in this day contests, drives,
organization and propag anda must be re
sorted too to get m9n (aad women) to do a
perfectly obvious duty. Say, but wouldn't
600 men in church inspire the minister !!
Men scott at women who follow more or
less rigidly fashion changes but it takes a
gang Of men to get courage enough to go
to church or school. Singly many of those
men would cringe and shrink from the
duty but. get number of men together
and they are brave, even to the point of
attending church. There is a point for
further thought in this matter. Too few
human beings think and act independently.

more than following fashion after all. =

That is good, getting men to go to
church, even if it takes bunch to get
them started, but what we would like to
know is how many of those 600 men are
keeping it up? It's we'll to start them in
gangs, but keepit up, singly or collectively.

warned all the neighborhood spiders,
for there were many spiders living in
the attic where Brown Spider lived,
but he only laughed at their warning
and kept on with his reckless doings.
One day Puss came to the attic
hunting for mice, and when she ran
under chair where Brown Spider
sat in his web near the floor she took
the web and Brown Spider, too, away
on her back.
Everyone thought that was the end
of him, but by and by he came run
ming across the attic floor and began a

depend. Another of his achievements
is a particularly efficient seismograph
which records earthquake shocks, and
is so sensitive that it will respond to
heavy disturbances taking place in
any part of the earth.
OF prime. Importance in studying soil
moisture, ETC., is knowledge of the
rate at which evaporation takes place
on the surface of bodies of water
One of the instruments used in this
work Is also the product of his brain
Still another Marvin invention is a
Paragraph Of exceptional precision
which makes a continuous record of
atmospheric pressures so that one can
tell at glance how much the barOme-
ter has risen and fallen during a given
period. No weather forecasting can
be done without knowledge Of changes
in barometrfc pressures.
A study of the clouds, their char
acter and movements, Is another im-
portant phase of the work at the
weather bureau. To carry it on bet
ter, Mr.. Marvin devised a nephoscope
by which an observer views clouded
conditions of the sky, and by means
of scales and sighting arrangements,
determines the motion of clouds and
their apparent velocity.
OF all the varied services under
Marvin's supervision, first in impor-
lance is the work of the forecasting
division, which receives and charts
twice daily telegraphic reports of pre-
vailing conditions, and issues state
ments of impending weather changes.
In the case of severe disturbances,
warnings are issued along the lakes
and sea coasts. The frost and cold
wave warnings are invaluable to many
interests, including the trucker and
fruit grower, especially in the spring
when tender vegetation needs protec-
ton.
The aim of the weather bureau, as
guided in It's charging program by
Mr.. Marvin, has been to serve wher-
ever it's facilities and a special need
made service practicable. The va
riety Of special uses of the storm
warnings illustrate another phase of
the pra ctical value of the forecasters'
service. In advance of a predicted
storm, rice planters flood their crops
to prevent the straw from being brok-
en- by the winds. Agents of marine
insurance companies stop insuring
cargoes after a storm has been pre-
dicted. Fishermen take steps to pro-
tect their boats and nets. Lumber
men make their standing booms secure
and regulate their log towing. At lake
ports vessels load hurriedly If they
can get off two to five hours in ad-
vance of off-shore winds. If snow is
expected, shippers must start II to IS
hours in advance.
Not only on the farms and on the
water is the service of the weather
bureau invaluable, but cities also are
constantly dependent upon it. With
notice of an approaching cold wave,
greenhouses are closed and their boil
ers fired. Preparations are made at
once by heating and lighting plants
in all cities, whether gas, electric,
steam or hot water. Fire plugs, ex-
posed mains, and general plumbing are

Puss came into the attic and after
