WORK OF WEATHER
BUREAU EXPLAINED
Forecasts Alone Only Small Part of
Activities, Weightman
Saws.

How the United States weather bu-
reau spends its time outside of issuing
forecasts on the weather was ex-
planned to members of the Newcomers
Club by Hanson Weightman of the
service at the weekly luncheon of
the club in the City Club yesterday.
After detailing the growth of the
bureau since it's inception under the
signal corps of the Army in 1871. and
subsequent transfer to the Agricul-
tural Department, the speaker outlined
the great service being rendered farm
ers, Seafaring men. aviators and irri-
cation workers every hour through
the 200 stations of the five divisional
districts.
More than SIS 600. 900 are saved ship
ping interests by the bureaus hurri-
cane forecasts each year. Mr.. Weight
man said, "and this one item alone
Justifies an increase in our appro-
priations."
Thousands of dollars are also saved
those handling perishable products in
Wisconsin and Michigan by forecasts
received from the weather bureau
telling of ice conditions, while the
water companies and irrigation plants
rely greatly on incoming forecasts of
how water is running for the spring
use
Millions of dollars. the speaker said.
are saved those living In the low
lands of the mississippi. who, If not
for the forecasts, would be wiped out
by the rivers overflow. not to men

rendered aviators by observations
from kites and balloons, whereby

rents
He also stated that the hurricane
warning service of the West Indies.
which was conducted from land sta
tions alone up to 1899, was now doing
yeoman work for mariners by send
ing reports from vessels.
Joseph A Burkhart presided, and
announcement was made that the
club would hold another out-of-town
meeting in September, when the en-
tire membership would make a day
of it on the Potomac.

TIE shape and contour Of skulls

age earlier than that in which the
Neanderthal man lived In central
Europe, DR.. Harrington believes
The Neanderthal man possessed a
far greater expanse of forehead
than the Santa Barbara primitive. he
said. and comparison of the two

Proof that the Santa Barbara prini-

utensils was found in the hard pan
in which the skulls were unearthed.
The scientists penetrated the hard
pan to depth Of forty-four
inches below the level where the
skeletal material was found and dis

Berlin Papers Agree Allies Disap-

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 27.-The Anglo
American exchange Of notes on the
reparation question and the speeches
of Premier Baldwin and Gen. SHUTS
are prominently featured in the Ger
yna n press. and while the editorial ap-'
praisals of the triple discussion are as
yet non-committal. the newspapers
are agreed generally that 1t consti-
tutes moral offensive against
France"
In the opinion Of Die Zeit, which
usually reflects the government at
titude. the utterances Of the British
statesmen and the exchange of views
between London and Washington
plainly indicate that England, during
the last few months. has devoted her
efforts to reconstructing her foreign
policy in the direction Of establishing
firmly co-ordinated front against
French imperialistic policies.
The newspaper believes that Secre-
tary Hughes observation that the
proposed conference might fail be-
cause, Of the, lack Of necessary una
nimity on the part of the European
powers and that the American gov
ernment in that case would reserve
its final decision Is proof positive that
Washington clearly perceives the mo-
tives Of the French policy.
THE Anglo-American exchange of
views Is an urgent admonition to
France that 1t can no longer remain
oblivious to common world interests.
and that both governments desire to
restore conditions essential for Euro
pean peace" says Die Zeit.

SOLDIERS ON EDGE

Camp Meade, Fort Myer and other
nearby Army posts emptied their
troops into the Clark Griffith Stadium
this afternoon, where the Third Army
Corps eleven-the pride of the serv-
ice-will battle with the powerful
Georgetown University gridiron ma
chine.
Apparently confident of a triumph
for the team that represents them,
the soldiers, between 5000 and 5000
strong, invaded the American League
Park long before the hour scheduled
for the clash. The Georgetown stu
dents and other supporters of the
Hilltop eleven, almost equal in num-
Der. also took their positions in the
stands early, eager for the Blue and
Gray squad to wash it's hands Of the
stains Of three successive defeats.
Bands from Fort Myer, Camp
Meade and Fort Washington. in addi-
tion to the Georgetown band of forty
pieces, kept up an almost incessant
blare before the game. The crowd
moved to the music and forgot the
chill in the air that made the after
noon an ideal one for a foot ball
game.
The Cd Army Corps squad of thirty

Breidster, arrived in Washington

Charges and counter charges, with

For more than an hour and a half
a searching inquiry was made into
details of the first of thirteen specifi-
cations against Davis, prohibition

had produced a bottle of liquor for
evidence in a case against Pomeroy

cember. 1922. when no liquor had

Hopeful that indicated acceptance
by France, Italy and Belgium of Brit
ish proposals for an advisory study
by an international commission Of ex-
perts of Germany's capacity to pay
had definitely opened a way toward
solution of the reparations tangle.
Washington officials today awaited
the further formulation of plans pre-
sumably under way at the European
capitals.
Developments of the last. twenty
four hours were said authoritatively
to have been such as to make II ap-
pear a virtual certainty that America
would be represented on the proposed
commission by experts named with
the approval of the Washington gov
ernment. Just how far the European
governments involved had proceeded
toward a complete agreement, how
ever, was q matter which. 1t appa-
rentIy was expected here, would be
clarified by some official announce
ment from London.
At the same time, late unofficial ad-
vices from Paris bringing out that the
French acceptance of the British pro-
posals was not regarded there as con-
ditional, inasmuch as the plan for a
committee to be named by the repara-
tions commission, 1t was said, was
one of the British alternatives, gave
support to the anticipation by officials
here of a definse agreement.
The plan which the French govern
ment would accept at least appears to
offer no obstacle to American participa-
ton so far as the American govern
ment's position was stated by Secre-
tary Hughes In bis reply to Lord Cur
zon's communication of October 13.
While the United States, he said, could
not participate officially In the activi-
tives of the reparations commission.
he had mo doubt" the Secretary added.
that competent American citizens
would accept membership on an ad-
yisory body appointed by the commits
sion to make recommendations.
1t would be expected here, however,
1t was said, that not only the American
members of such an advisory commits
sion but those representing the allied
governments would be appointed only
with the approval of their respective
governments. The qualifications of the
personnel of such a commission, II was
pointed out, would be vital consider
ation and it was held that II the COM
missions recommendations are to car
ry a weight commensurate with the
Importance of the subject dealt with,
