Concerning weather Service.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 19-Edi-
tor The Argus: My attention has
been drawn to the editorial in your
issue Of Dec. 8, entitled "CurtaiI-
ing Weather Information" in
which you set forth the very dis
tinct value of the weather bureau
publications which it has been
necessary to curtail under the pro-
gram of economy in government
expenditures, and wherein you so
happily justify the cost of this
very important service in view of
the definite economic benefit to the
public at large.
This is matter which is of
course fully realized by the weather
bureau, but in the sweeping pro-
gram of curtailment of expendi-
lures it is very difficult to make
the proper determinations, and
communications like your own are
very helpful in bringing about a
proper view of matters and in sup
plementing efforts on the part OF
public officials to have these i'm
portant activities restored.
For your information, | may say
years the estimates prepared by
the weather bureau have contained
increases covering the restoration
of weather maps, and in most cases
these estimates have been ap-
proved by the secretary and sub
mitted to congress. The situation
this year, under the new law Gre
aing ando providing 70 rthe budget,
has presented new complications
and difficulties, and while our es-
Inmates submitted to the budget Of
f1cer contain increases 70 rthe res
toration of this important work,
this item is one he felt compelled
to eliminate in his strenuous eff
forts to bring down the amount of
the estimates to be submitted TO
congress. Just what action will
finally be taken in regard to this
matter is as yet predetermined, as
the appropriations for the depart
ment of agriculture have not as
yet been taken up.
l want to thank you for the edi-
torial referred to.
Respectfully,
c. F. MARVIN,
Chief Of Bureau.

We're On Record.

Rock Island, Ill, Jan 19-Editor
The Argus: Want to call your at
tention to the item appearing
Wednesday evening regarding the
Chamber OF Commences annual
meeting. From this article the
public seems to have gained the
impression that at the constitu-
tionaI meeting held some few days
ago no action was taken.
We want to call your attention
to the fact that after both Mr.. Dietz
and Mr.. Carlstrom had explained
their position a resolution was pre-
scented and passed by rising vote
that the meeting go on record that
Cook county be substantially limit
ed in both branches of the legis-
lature.
1t would appear from the CORE
spondence of Mr.. Carlstrom that
no such action was taken. These
gentlemen were both present when
the action was taken and We can
not see why an attempt is being
made to dodge the issue. The vote
on the resolution was a rising one,
and was practically unanimous
ians who did not rise to express
their opinion on the vote.
Will you kindly correct the i'm
preston if consistent that the pub
lie seems to have CLEANED from
your paper, that no action was
taken? Very truly yours,
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Managing Secretary.

This much is clearly gained. 1t
now remains, in the words OF the

orators" They will do it" the
paper is confident, for they are

Stories That Recall Others
She Got the Job

Helen. in person. answered an adver- tisement for typist. The prospective boss looked like he would be hard to please and Helen was rather embarras- sed. After answering most of his Ques- tions concerning her work he asked:
 What machine (typewriter) do yea use?" and as he asked 1t he glanced out of the window.
 HeIen's glance followed his and Sh, promptly replied: "A Ford" She got the job. Had Wrong Pair Shrinking She evidently was a new clerk in ths department store, and was doing her best to please. The customer asked 10 ses wool hose. Two pairs in the site Shs wished were shown her. One pair wzs a trihe larger than the other. The customer remarked that she liked the small pair better but she wai afraid they were not quite large enough She wished they were the same size as the others.
 The clerk promptly replied. ''oh that is all right madam These, the smaller ones. were made to shInk. and the otheri were not. They were made to stay the size they are?"

CHILD TRAINING
Imitation.
By Sophie Kitchener.


 "What adult deed is there that chill dren will not at once initiate? There fore be careful, you grown-up people, what you do in the presence of these little ones."-Froebel.
 The family is at breakfast, mother, daddy, and baby Betty, aged two. Ev- erything is very cheerful and happy until baby decides she must have the inside part Of a roll. Now mother doesn't think that the soft hot bread Is good for baby's youthful stomach and so she says, "No." Betty becomes dis gruntled and turns to her usual court of appeal-daddy. It happens, however that daddy knowing that mother iS right is in quandary. So for the time being Betty walls in disappointment But mother has to see about something in the kitchen. As soon as she is well out of the room daddy leans over tc Betty, stuffs the roll in her mouth, and says, Here, hurry and take 1t before your mother comes back"
 This illustration speaks for itse.f ! What kind of a standard is daddy set ting before his Betty who is In truth tht ptide of his heart? Children learn pI imitation, and if the examples set then are not worthy, they can't be expectet to invent worthy ones all by themselves A parents indulgence Of his ch;It should not make nim willing to sacrihc, the child's future standards to his pres ent pleasure. With parents t is ortei case of its being harder to idfsciplin, Themselves than to discipline their eail dren. Because they want the fu: wealth of their child's love they buy !

A community which has voting ma chimes can have Ettle patience with those which persist in clinging to the old method of voting by ballot, and keeping at the same time that excellent chance of mlxups, recounts and dis franchisements which figure in every close election.
 That there Is a feeling of dissatisfac- tion with the method of voting by bal lot, such as now prevails in Massachu- setts, can be gathered from the contests, delays and reversals that have taken place in that state following the receat election.
 Concerning certain candidates tha election was decidedly close, so close that a call tor a recount occasioned no surprise tor N iS known how easily mistakes can be made under that sys- tenn of counting. Many were the towns that showed the vote had been incor- reotly counted in the senRtorship con- test, even though it did not change the outcome. Yet there were others where 1t did and the fight over the election ir that state hasn't as yet ended. Be. cause of the uncertainty contests car DS A@IPb AGNC 1Ot u COAA69OcgN0OI6 pST1OU
 Even though the recount did not de. feat Senator Lodge, it did reverse the election o6 q councilman in Sprnxatelt and at this distant day 1t is found out that a referendum on one question sub, mitted to the citizens resulted in defea oe the measure instead of its approva as the election night figures seemed tt indicate.
 The mechanical device for rertsterInl votes works with that same accurac, as does the counting machine. You vote is counted ss you cast 1t. To, cannot disQuallfy yourself by voting fo too many and your vote Is not left t the tender mercy of the counters to de cipher. There is available the complet and correct vote a few minutes afte the polls close and there is overcom the ground tor a contest even thouKl there Is majority of Out one. The se crecy is just as great and the 6reedor from the trOC1bie making contests is decided renef. Every contest and ever long drawn out count make friends fo the voting machine.

 You can't always tell" Bobby said, shaking his head wisely. There's days he takes off and sometimes he's sick. He called pr.

Stubbv got awful mad after ward on account of the old dentist finding hole and writing a note to his mother to say so. Now Stubby's got to go to the dentist, too. but I should worry "Yes" declared his father. with gentle irony. visits to the dentist do not seem | to trouble you"

 The idea that as soon as the n1zchine had risen to a certain height there is plenty of room to turn and twist about is all very well if there is no one elss aloft but with others flying about 1t Is to be reali7ed that there are rights of others to be respected in the air quite the same Gs in the highway. Such rights have to be enforced on land be- cause there arc those who insist upon violating them, and the same situat4cn Is bound to result above whom A9sPs undertake stunts that endanger others.
 It should be apparent to any aviator that serious consequences can be ex- pected to follow a collision in the air. This is no secret that has been wkh- held from the military aviators. but when one plunges into the other foI which there is no good excuse 1t en- phasizes the need of giving prompt et- tention to the regulations governing army aviators and an insistence upor full respect for the manoeuvers plannst by the afr drills.

THE CHRISTMAS CLUBS.

When it is announced that the banks of the country are distributing the sum Of $1so,000,0o0 to the members ct their Christmas clubs 1t demonstrates anew the results that can be gained by small sav4neN, Even for five million people the saving of this sum Is not a great accomplishment In all probability it does not constitute all the money that they have saved during the past year and 1t may not be the only club to which they belong. since there are oth- CTS for such purposes as vacation and the like, but it does mean the aceurnu- lation Of a considerable sum for Christ mas expenses ~hich would have come much harder had the attempt been made to take it all out of the weekly pay envelope during the few weeks be- fore Christmas.
 The growth of the Christmas club plan demonstrates the appeal that Il has made to miMons. and while it's pep ularity Is shown by tho increase Ir number of members and increased say Ings each year . much greater pencil $ certain to be derived from the culti' walton Of tho habit ef saving.
 There are those who can gave without any such assistance but there are oth e=s who need just that systernatll method Of putting asidO g cezeAin DOT easn of the income each week for on' thirx or another an order to be gurt when the time comes that there will b' funds avaiIable for certain fixed ant ! desirable purposes.

MELTING LOCAL CHRISTMAS
 NEEDS,

This is the season of tho year when organizations terrning themselves Good Fellows" arc organized in cities for the purpose Of seeing that a reaIs merry Christmas comes to those wto are not otherwise likely to have one. This in- cludes a fine holiday dinner and the gifts that go with the day that the spirit of Christmas may be properly spread and that all who might not ota- erwise experience 1t may be fully cared for.
 1t !s an excellent tdea. since there are those who ara always anxious so plsy Santa Claus to these who are liko- " te be obliged to pass Csris=InAs tss4 same As any other cay, cynscSUas of tho great pleasures others are having, eut mindful of their own unfortunate posi- ton. For the Good Fellows" to re- Spond to such situations, and they ars not dificuIt to find, is most praisewor' thy. Likewise the real joy of Christ mas giving comes through the knowl edge that the gifts and the dinners ar' going where they will be thoroughly op preciated.
 Norwich hasn't such an organization but tt has great numbers of Good Eel lows" who are always eager to respoa; at such a time. And while 1t may lacl the particular kind of an organisation referred to, 1t does not lack for the C ficient services Of two well equipped ant far reaching organizations, the Samdl! welfare department of the United Work CTS and the Salvation Army.
 Both of these are now making ap peals for Christmas work. They ar well acquainted with those who nect the ministrations that they are prepar ing to render, they are equipped to tis tribute 1t and they are eager to be tn Santa Claus for the many hundreds o Norwich people who desire to be goo fellows to those where circumstances 0 one kind or another warrant It.
 Many are there who learn of tn need of such Christmas effort and tn good done by 1t after the holiday an regret that they could not have helpe to meet the situation. With the pro per response to the appeals now bein made there will be no children and n homes in Norwich that will be entirel oheerless on Christmas day.

with weakness. As a result they re- ceive great deal Of affection, provided the child always gets what it wants. and have great deal of trouble when 1t doesn't. Trus this little Betty loves her daddy and in any predicament or childish unhappiness calls always for him, but should he be proud to be called by the baby whose love he has bought with pampering?
 What Is more. such examples will h. creasingly lower the babys stamina and will warp her viewpoint beyond re- pair. For since children do develop through imitation, Betty will probably be the sort of little girl who mus, nave what she wants regardless of everv- thing else; all because her father taught her how.
 Therefore it is well for parents [. watch first their own weaknesses SC i there won't be so many for their cni!. | dren to initiate.
