Our "Weather Factory"

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--Donald MacNiillan's description
of that wild and desolate section of
the Far North known MS Bafin Land
does not very highly recommend the
shores Of Baffin Bay for residential
purposes. Baffin Lands winters are
long and bitter and the island is fur
removed from the nearest centers Of
civilization. Those in charge of the
proposed international weather station
in this forlorn region would have no
easy thing. Theirs would be lives Of
heroic sacrifice nourished by n desire
to render many millions Of others a
service of incalculable value. But find.
ing men willing to endure personal
hardships for the sake of humanity Is
never difficult task and in the cstab-
lshmcnt Of Baffin Bay weather sta
ton that would be but one Of the
workable details. Such Is the spirit Of
our men Of science.
The troublesome features of the
project would be perfccting an inter.
national organization and the cOnstruc-
tion Of the station itself along with the
facilities required for the isolated set.
Elements practical Use and comfort
Were the nations ready to begin the
undertaking now, two or three years
nt least would elapse before we could
receive weather reports regularly from
Bafin Bay.
As to the practical value of such a
station there is no disagreement. Much
of our weather is "manufactured' on
the roof Of the continent and 1t would
be big help to have wireless sta
tion near the source of this supply. The
international station off the southeast
coast Of Greenland has been pronounce,
highly successful. Of the two sta.
tions. however, the one on Batfin Bay
would be the more important.
Gradually we see man moving toward
the Pole for his weather observations.
Amundsen hopes to gather enough fun.

dition to forecast weather everywhere q

To the Editor OF the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-The District Court of Appeals

deplorable, even disastrous, in language
that suggests doomsday hnality. Let
US face facts and try to determine
whether the worst has actually hap.

about 1t.
In certain States. Pennsylvania in.

Mble, without comment BY the teacher.
Whether such reading. on the whole,
does very much to promote religion,
or even to create an interest in the
book itself. seriously question. and

Take these in instance: "The eyes

Critics Of the California decision are
featuring not only the loss in q re-:

, that a great many great men have owed

Bible. Granted. But is It not also
true that to their parents. rather than
to school teachers, every single one
OF them was indebted for that solid
religious education that gave strength
and beauty Of character, kindled the I'm.
ngination and furnished him with the
simple yet majestic vocabulary with
which to create ideas and to express
those ideas tersely and truly? The
responsibility for religious teaching
should rest on the parents. 1t iS

Brooklyn Prep to
Meet Erasmus Hall
Eleven Saturday

Coach Harry Kane of Brooklyn Prem
has practically decided on the team,
which he will use against Erasmus Hall
saturday in game which will feature
the opening of the scholastic football
season in greater New York. The con-
test will mark the resumption of ath-
letlc relations with Erasmus Hall after
lapse Of two years.
In former seasons Erasmus met
Brooklyn Prep late in the year in con-
tests which usually had much bearing
on the championship of Brooklyn. Re-
lations were severed after the 1919
game. and the early date was the only
one acceptable to both schools.
Both Brooklyn Prep and Erasmus
have. been weakened by graduations.
the former losing its entire backheld.
Coach Kane has developed light but
fast backfield quartet and a strong.
heavy line.
Brooklyn Prep probably will line up
as follows Saturday: Ends, Captain
Furey and Petrilli; tackles, Vail and
Loughran; guards, Tierney and Prem
dergast; center, Tiernan; backfield, La
ooiHc' u my, MAIClInoTe and Harri- =
son. Bull. Kane, Dewey and O'Neill
are the leading line substitutes. Win
O'Connor as a capable backfield under
study.
The st. Johns Prep squad had a
long workout at Ebbets Field yester-
day, with large squad REPORTING
Coach Lynch has five seasoned PLAYERS
around whom he will build this wears
team. Captain John Gallagher. Wishe
Drank, O'Meara and Urevich PLAYED on
the line last year, while Bub Saunders.
who starred at Brooklyn Prep last
year, is the leading candidate for a
backfeld berth.
St. Johns will not open it's season
until October ID, when it meets Flush
ing. Blair Academy was scheduled for
October 7, but that game has been can
celled.

figured the proper medium for kill
ing in the closing dash of six and a
half furlongs. But this maiden three
year-old, which was backed from to 2
to to 5, must await another opportu-
nifty for graduation exercise. The best
he got was third; he was beaten off
more than three lengths, for Fator
was asleep at the switch and was prac-
tically left. A. X. Macomber's The
Dictator stood hard, long drive game
ly, to stave off High Speeds bold chal-
lenge by the proverbial lip. High
Speed, the opening favorite, receded
from to to 8 to 1. but The Dictator,
an outsider, commanded a strong play.
Several of the other trials left dark
brown taste like the morning after.
none more so than Pilgrims defeat by
George in the fifth race at mile. Pill
grim was backed from to 5 to to 10
and was beaten only because Of La
verne Fator's carelessness-or worse
race sewed up by two lengths. Fator
eased up and did not sense Sande's be-
lated challenge till too late. Pilgrim,
off his stride, could not be reused in
time.
Belphraizonia, the odds-on favorte
of the third race, at seven furlongs, for
the cheaper two-year-olds, ran misera-
bly, under McAtee and finished no bet
ter than third. Odds son favorites, or
for that matter, favorites of all sorts,
seem of late to have acquired the un-
happy faculty Of running mserably for
McAtee. Charles A. Stoneham's Vir-
ginius raced down Black Friday, the
early pacemaker, and assumed the lead
at the top of the stretch, but could not
withstand the challenge Of Lady Inez
in the last furlong. 1t must be admit
