SHORT-RANGE WEATHER
The United States Weather Bureau does not nro
Tess to know all about the weather but its operations
DAY IN and day out show that it knows more about thai
subject than any of the amateurs who are accustomed
TO soothing at 1t. The Weather Bureau deserves re-

next winter for any period date far in the future
There may be methods of foretelling "hard
winter from goosebones squirrels fur trees bark
and various other tokens relied by amateur pronh

scientists they have knowledge of any means Of
telling what the weather is going to be more than
few days ahead Such may be discovered in the
future but far they have euded the men who have
devoted the most thought and the best equipment to
such problems.
The safest thing, therefore, is to ignore alike the
moon prophets in the almanacs and the goosebone
prophets at the general store and stick to the official
loreeastefs modest announcements for tomorrow and

Little Aethra.

The interesting news Is cabled from
London that Aethra has been found,
and that the discovery, or rediscovery.
was made by a man at Algiers. Aethra
is a little planet or a planetoid or an
asteroid belonging to our own system
or planetary family, and which spins
in an irregular orbit around our sun.
James Craig Watson, astronomer at
Ann Arbor, found this bright little
traveller through the heavens in 1878.
Then it became lost to view, it bear
ing not even so great a relation to
space as drop Of water does to our
seas. If Aethra truly has been found
it's orbit or path around the sun will
probably be determined so that a tele-
scope may be turned upon 1t at will.
No doubt there is scientific rejoicing in
all astronomical observatories. There
are two great observatories at Wash
ington, the Naval and Georgetown,
and one can easily appreciate the
thrill carried to those wonder places
by news that little Aethra has been
found.

tions can be equalized, by merger or
by some legislative action in regard
to taxes. II not by the adoption Of
the equitable zoning system, which,
despite it's obvious merits, has been
rejected by the public.
Injudicious financing methods in
the past may have brought about the
present conditions, in which the higher
rate Of fare is requisite to enable one
Of the companies to earn its expenses
and to yield small dividend. while
the other company, in better condi-
ton, reaps large profit. But the
arbitrary curtailment Of the fare rate
will not cure those ills, nor will it
be just to the present owners of the
system based upon the lines brought
into unity by the manipulations Of
the past. 90
The Public Utilities Commission
has. in the light of all the knowledge
Of conditions it can secure, decided
that the present rate Of fare is just.
The Senate, by it's repeated votes on
the five-cent-fare proposal, justifies
that decision. Plans for merger have
been before Congress for long period,
but without action. Perhaps at the
next session this question will be
taken up with a purpose of finding
the most equitable means Of bringing
about normalcy in the carfare rate
without inf1icting inequitable injury
upon any interest. The local car
riding public earnestly hopes that this
will be done.

Flight Records.

Airplane records do not last long.
They are broken SO often that one
might be warranted in saying that an
airplane record is q most fragile thing.
One can scarcely open his newspaper
without reading cf something that
has happened to a flight record. Some
times it Is an altitude record. Man
keeps going higher and higher, until
the height is now measured by miles.
Again, it is the long distance. non
stop record that is smashed. Then it
is the record for remaining longest in
the air. This time it is the speed
record. That record since last October
has been held by a gentleman who is
well known in Washington, Gen.
William Mitchell. On October 1s last
he Travelled at the speed Of 224.05 miles
an hour at Selfridge Field, near Chi
caeo. Now comes a Frenchman, by
name Sadi Lecointe, who. at the fly.
ing field near Marseille. travelled the
appointed distance, 1000 kilometers,
at the rate Of 234.o6 miles an hour, or

Home State Auto Tags.

1t is carrying the ''old home" spirit
pretty far when automobile owners in
Washington, resident here and en-
ployed here for many years, send their
cash back home to buy a license tag
instead Of taking out a District license.
1t is a curious form of state pride, or
state patriotism, and the assumption
is that 1t saves money to the auto
owner. One plausible reason for many
OF these home state tags is the atti-
tude Of Maryland toward the District.
The reighbor state "reciprocates'' with
other states in automobile tags, but
not with the District Of Columbia.
Therefore a man carrying an auto tag
issued by the state of Oklahoma 'gets
by" with it in Maryland and the Dis
trict. whereas il he showed District
tag he would also have to buy a Mary
land tag or be 'pinched' on crossing
the line few miles outside Of the city.
The District traffic bureau believes
that close upon 5000 motorists have
been using the streets of Washing
ton year after year by purchasing
license plates from their home states"
After March l an automobile carrying
state tag must also carry a small
tag to show that the car has been
registered at the local traffic bureau
within three days after arriving here.
This regulation, 1t is thought, will
bring to terms the Washington motor
lists who are using foreign" tags. The
time in which actual non-residents
must take out District license varies
from ten days to six months, the terms
of automobile reciprocity being differ
ent in and between different states and
the District.

Five-Cent Fares.

For the second time in a few days
the Senate yesterday negatived a pro-
posal to reduce street car fares in the
District TO ) cents, on this second
occasion by the narrow vote of 81
10, Sc. Undoubtedly this vote indi-
Gates a strong sentiment in the upper
branch Of Congress that the time is
at hand, OF near at hand, when the
ear fares must be lowered to normal
from the heights to which wartime
expenses forced them.
But it is gravely to be doubted If
the car fares can be brought down
by any such drastic means as a
straight-out command by Congress,
without precipitating disastrous con-
dition affecting at least one of the
local transportation companies. IN
less the Public Utilities COMMISSIONS
information is all at fault it would
be. impossible for the fare to be low
cred TO the pre-war rate without in
volVing the possibility of bankruptcy.
If the commissions information is
w1tbng, if the earnings of the less
afIiuent company are now sufficient
(1o meet overhead and fixed expenses
and to yield a reasonable profit to
the stockholders, then essuredly the
time is at hand for reduction. In
the discussion of. the matter in Con-
Sress nothing has been advanced to
demonstrate such condition.
Washingtonians want the fares re.
duced. They are paying the present
rates under protest. They hope to
see some method found whereby the

close upon four miles a minute. It
seems not long ago when the rate at
which Dexter trotted was the limit Of
speed. Then, news would come now
and then that q locomotive with q
baggage car and one passenger coach
had travelled at the amazing speed Of
a mile a minute. Mile a minute for
years stood as a synonym for high
speed. And here come men in flying
machines" cutting close upon the rate
Of four miles a minute, and perhaps
the time is not far in the future when
a four-milea-minute airplane will be
scornfully spoken Of as slow coach.
