of showers that ended the long c0url-
try-wide drought that gripped the
country during August, September and
early October. Continued dryness was
predicted for some days because con-
ditions were sluggish and ns changes
were observed within the scope of the
reporting stations. Between two days,
however, sudden showers swept down
from the uncharted -egions, freshened
ND the entire Atlantic seaboard and
the Southern states, quenched destruc-
tive forest fires in Canada and brought
an end to the drought.
If there were more stations farther
north, it was said, the change could
have been foreseen far ahead Of its
actual arrival, instead of in about two
DAYS or less, and farmers and others
TO. whom weather conditions are i'm
portant could have had longer warn
ing to prepare.
It must be explained that through
general interchanges the weather OBJ
servations Of nations are made avail
able to all other countries having
weather services, and to whom the
data are important. Canadian stations
therefore make observations which are
as important to this country's weather
service as though those stations we're
owned by the United States. The Baf-
fin bay station would be financed and
operated by the countries Of the north
ern hemisphere to whom tho data
would be Of value when reported by
wireless.

World Weather
StationzUrged

In the United States and Canada for
some time in the interest o. the pro-
posed Baff1n bay station.
The great value to this country OF
such q station is shown by observers
in the fact that they are often handi-
capped by the sudden arrival OF I'M
foreseen weather changes, originating
in northern Canada, where there are
few stations. Thousands of miles OF
the continent, up to the Arctic seas,
hold no observation rosts, nor means
Of messaging observations If any were
made. The northernmOst weather sta
ton in Canada is almost 40 degrees
from the northern edge Of the CONT
nent, which puts it far south, close to
the international boundary line. Con-
sequently, officials say, much weather
which originates in that vast stretch
of land is unobserved until 1t is right
down upon us. For this reason, 1t was
added, cold waves often bear down
from the north In winter, and our
weather bureau can give only scant
warning.
A recent example Of this sudden and
Unforeseen change occurred in a series

Paris promises a winter season OF
lavish decoration, observes fashion
writer in the New York Times. If ones
frock be somber, it must be enlivened
with crisp flowers or vivid girdle. II
your evening gown be stately, let 1t
slip off either one or both shoulders,
and hold it securely with straps OF
tiny flowers that glitter with silver or
gold. If ones suit seems the least bit
businesslike, it should be embroidered
with steel beads or strips of fur In
vermicelli pattern. Above all things
one must avoid the obvious, and have
ones frock beruff1ed where rufflest
might least be expected, or beribboned
and gayly buttoned ii unusual design.
As an expression of the vivacity OF
his costumes, Worth has chosen the
tassel, which may seem old-fashioned,
but which really has gone through
many stages Of regeneration. They are
used alone or in groups, Of large d.
mansions or Of small, Of silk, OF satin,
Of metal or beads, but in every case
they are the natural complement OF
the gown they adorn. Especially love-
ly ones are made Of blades Of metal.
which are used on street. frocks, and
one evening gown boasts three long
tassels Of tubed crystal.
Brandt hangs tassels by slim cords
or finely wrought chains and tops them
with exquisite embroidery or braid Of
q contrasting ehade. And with the
prevailing vogue for superfcialities OF
trimming, ribbons have gayly come
into their own. They offer width TO
slim skirt lines and width to abbrevi-
ated hens. Encrusted with wee flow
ers, or variously braided. they wind

created an otherwise simple evening
frock for the jeune file. When silk
ribbon is padded and attached to either

folds sufficient weight to attempt q

Originality in Sleeves.
The designers are finding the sleeves
a field for originality. Nothing that
could be done to q sleeve has been left
undone, and If one should feel that al
that can be said Of sleeves has long
ago been said he must hearken to the
words of Jean Patou, who decorates
one tightly fitting sleeve in suit coat
with epaulets Of rich fur. Alice Der
nard fits her cuffs tightly to the wrists
and permits them to flare, funnelwise
at the elbows. Jenny has varied thi'
theme by adding to the flare cuff

The shock Of the collision damaged
the radio so much that it was not for
three hours that it could be used. An

ant at Cavite, sent the destroyer Whip
pie racing for the scene at daybreak,
followed by the naval tug Wompatuck.
When day broke the position OF the
vessel was so precarious that Captain
Mizuno decided to abandon ship. The
forepeak was stove in and the vessel
was grinding badly with every break
er and threatening to slide back into
deep water, where she would have
sunk like plummet. Volunteers OF
the crew scrambled out or the reefs
