SUNSHINERS TO START
 SUNSHINE BOOMERANGS
Relieve With Accepted Motto of so- ciety That Happiness should
 Re Passed On"

Everyday is d happy day for some- body. At lease that is what members of the Sunshine society think. And why shouldn't they? They are busy spreading sunshine all over the city every day? They send sunshine into sick rooms, into the rooms of the help less, the down and out, or the wealthy but lonely persons indiscriminatily.
 The Sunshine Society has gone a step farther. Believing with the fam- out Poet Scout" the late Captain Jack Crawford, whose poems have been read all over the world that sum shine which Is passed along to those wh are still in the clouds, always prove a sunshine Boomerang" they have started a series of sunshine boom- erangs throughout the membership.
 The members have secured little folders. each folder containing a place for 10 dimes. Every time a member has a happy day he or she is expected to place a dime in the folder. How many days the sunshiners themselves have had during the month will be as- certained at the next meeting. The proceeds will 20 towards spreading sunshine into other homes.

SPENT A YEARS IN SERVICE OF [. N. i.
Captain Curtis Enlisted as Private in Company E, First Regiment

1 After 24 years of active service in
 the Connecticut National Guard, Cap tain Hanford L. Curtis. city comptrol-
 Ter. at his own request has been placed on the National Guard Re- serve. Captain Curtis feels that he is no longer able to give his time to the military work as he is kept busy with other work in New Britain. Notice to the effect that the transfer has been made was issued in orders from the adjutant generals office yesterday
 About A years ago Captain Curtis joined Company F. of the old first regiment, C. N. G., as private. He worked his way through the various officers berths and for five of the 10 years spent in this company he was captain. When Captain Edgar l.. Smith resigned as paymaster on Colonel John Hickey's staff, Captain Curtis was appointed to fill the va csncy.
 Several years later there was a re- organization of the National Guard in Connecticut and a quartermaster corps was created. Through the crea- ton of this department Captain Cur tis automatically became paymaster of the regiment and has held that position since. During the late World war Captain Curtis was federal property and distributing officer.

NATIONAL LINKS PLAYERS
 TEE OFF DESPITE RAIN
i2a Are Scheduled To Finish Quali- flying Round nt Dayton Links To-
 

Dayton, O., June 25. - Rain early today failed to interfere with the start of the second round of qualify ing play in the national public links tournament and the first pair drove off the tee at SEQ.
 One hundred and twenty nine of the 1a2 who started play are sched- uled to finish their qualifying play to- day, the other three having dropped out of competition, picking up their balls in the middle of yesterdays round.
 The field will be narrowed down to S2 men by dusk, It appears doubtful whether Dick Walsh, 1923 national champion will he included in the title flight
 Walsh is suffering from an infect ed hand which he had lanced yester- day morning and which makes accu- rate play almost impossible. He fin- ished yesterdays round with an s6.
 Yesterdays feature was the playing of the golfers from Washington, D. c. One of their number, Earl, McAleer, broke the course record with 70 and was low scorer for the day. The four man Hardic csp team from the capi- tai city was leading the play for that cup with total score of Sl2.
 First round play saw i men mak- ing the l $ holes in less than so, while si more got scoros Of s2 or better.

of these irregularities how the tor nado usually conducts itself; in which direction the cyclone will go and whether the Montana blizzard by the warm winds from the Gulf 1 Stream.
 That is the Weather Bureaus daily problem.
 'The first radiogram received by the Weather Bureau containing a weather observation taken on a ship in the Atlantic was from the s. s. New York on December 3, 1905,'' Calvert said Tn 1906 the vessel weather service was established as distinct project The masters of about fifty vessels agreed to take observations daily and forwarded them by radio to Washington. At the present time practically all ships on the high seas make daily ob- servations and forward them to the Weather Bureau"
 Canada Will Aid.
 Arrangements are being made by the Canadian Government to es- tablish radio stations in the Macken- zie River region primarily for the purpose of obtaining meteorological reports. These will be made avail able to the United States Weather Bureau
 Tt is apparent that meteorology will advance hand in hand with radio" Calvert declared There must be close undisturbed contact be- tween the agencies engaged in meteorological and radio activities.
 "The crying need of meteorology is more information from ships and from inaccessible places, and espe- cially from the areas in and about the polar regions.
 "Meteorology is essentially an in. ternational science Weather has no natural allegiance"

PERFECTS A NEW
 SALVAGING SYSTEM

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-The perfection of salvaging system for raising sunken ships, by which even an ocean liner of the size of the Lusitania could be raised, was an nounced here today by J. c. Currey an inventor, of Leavenworth, Kan. sas.
 In experimental work at Astoria Ore, and other ports, Currey claims already to have raised hundred-ton weights from as deep as 38O feet.
 The success of Currey's machinery hinges upon two points, the inven- tor said today. They are: CD A grappler which, he declares, will cling to any object upon which it can get hold, and CD a new prin- ciple of lifting the sunken ship be- tween barges.
 Heretofore the tension in lifting weight out of the water has been directed from the inner sides of the parallel barges," Currey explained. My principle is to equalize the strain by running lines to both sides of the barges, so that the barges retain an even keel and have a fixed water foundation against which to pull"

who point out that the progress of meteorology in the future depends upon the development of radio com munication.
 The Weather Bureau was the pioneer of all agencies of the United States Government in development and experiments with radio, accord ing to E. B. Calvert, meteorologist in charge of the forecasting room.
 "The investigations were under taken soon after Marconi began his studies of wireless telegraphy in 1S9," Calvert said. "It was fore seen that this form of communities tion presented field of opportunity in meteorology in securing current weather information from inacces- sible places and from ships, the pro- viding of storm warnings to vessels at sea, and supplementing or re- placing the Weather Bureau system of collecting weather reports by telegraph and cable
 Radio Is Used.
 Radio has been utilized continu- ously by the Weather Bureau for more than twenty years, and it now plays large and indispensable part in the bureau'S activities
 Accurate long forecasting will never be possible until the entire northern hemisphere is dotted with radio stations, according to Calvert; and even then, he pointed out, it is questionable to what degree of ac- curacy predictions may be made over thirty-siX hours in advance.
 There are now millions of unchart- ed square miles out beyond the jurisdiction of civilization where weather" may originate without the knowledge of the weather bureaus of the various nations of the world. A few stations already dot the Amer ican far north, in Alaska, the Hud- son Bay region of Canada, and on the islands off the coast, such as Greenland and Iceland
 In Northern Europe few stations daily flash weather conditions southward to be relayed around the world. Little is known of the North ern Siberian wastes and of the great spaces between the northern borders of America, Europe, Asia, and the polar regions.
 Needs Long Study.
 Calvert said that not only the in formation of conditions in these vast territories must be obtained daily, but that the action of weather there must be studied over long periods to determine "how it acts" under every possible circumstance.
 A glance at the daily map in the Weather Bureau discloses a widely varied set of conditions in even the limited areas. A tornado may or iginate on the southern coast of the United States; cyclone in Kansas; a blizzard in Montana; warm wave throughout the mid-Atlantic sec tion, as we'll as a cold wave may sweep down from Greenland.
 To forecast the weather the bu- reau's experts must know the habits

New London Fashion
 Removes All Color
 From WOman's Hair

LONDON, Dec. 16.-All freak hair fashions of the past few years are surpassed by the latest hair fashion that of removing every vestige oi color from the hair.
 Many prominent London society women have adopted the new fash ion, which is achieved by undergo ing a treatment which thoroughly bleaches the hair.
 Hairdressers assert that once the hair is so treated it will never re cover it's former color again
