Scientific Investigation Proves
Goosebone School Of Fore
casting Is vaIueless.
BY JOHN GOLDsTROM.
Universal Service.

Careful checking on weather fore
casts for all parts of the country for
a five-year period show them to be
accurate nine times out of ten, and
the goosebone. grounding and
plant-by-the-moon prophets hit It
right only when they are lucky.
This was declared today by Chief
Forecaster Edward II. Bowie, who is
primed with statistics which redu-e
to pulp the arguments of the citizen
who says the Weather Bureau can't
be believed and that the good old
ways OF doping the weather are the
best.
These figures show that for the
five-year period the degree OF &C.
curacy of temperature forecasts,
averaging the country over. was s0.2
per cent and the weather Ss.4 per
cent. In southern California the per.
centage has been as high In a year
as 81 for temperature and s4.2 for
weather.
"Meteorologists have checked up
also on the goosebone school Of fore.
casting and have founl that no reli-
snce is to be placed on any Of the IN
scientific signs" said Major Bowie.
They are the fruit of superstition.
and they come out right only when
they are lucky"
Mary Twain didn't know Major.
Bowie and his crew when he said
that everybody talks about the
weather. but nobody does anything
about 1t. The chief forecaster and his
assistants to the number of $50 en-
ployes of the Weather Bureau scat
tered around the country and some
5000 volunteer observers from the
citizenry do a lot about 1t. with the
result that hundreds Of millions o,
dollars worth of property Is saved
every year by storm. flood, cold wave
