This is a calf-he purchased from Mr..

.FORECASTER BRINGS
HAPPINESS BY DATA
Weather Man Gets All Sorts
of Inquiries.

New York.-"Please," asked the
timid voice of a girl over the tele-
phone, "can you tell me whether June
IL will be fair?"
James ii. Scarr, New York's vet
eran weather man, glanced at maps
and records on his desk and pondered
q moment.
"Why, that's your wedding day
isn't it"
"Yes," the voice faltered in surprise.
Eyes, but how did you know"
"Oh, I just surmised. 1 can tell you
only this about the weather: you will
always remember June IT as the
brightest day Of your life"
This call came to the weather man
exactly hundred and seventeen days
before June II. 1t was impossible to
forecast accurately what the weather
on that date would be. Here is his
reason for the answer he gave:
I: One Day to Worry-lf It Rained.
"Our greatest enjoyment in life
usually comes in anticipation. If I
had told her 1t would be cloudy and
rainy on June II, she would have eI-
perienced lit days Of worry. But with
what told her she had 1T days Of
delightful anticipation.
Il figured that If it rained on June
IL, there would be only one day Of
worry and that she hardly would no
tice the rain anyway in the excite
ment and Joy Of getting married"
Brides-to-be are among the 1900
persons who daily call the weather
bureau for information. On some
days the Office operator lists az many
rs 1000 busy calls"
People planning picnies phone, the
Tired clerk who wants to know which
week out Of several will be best for
him to take his vacation; officials pre-
pairing for conventions call; mana gers

plays.

Millionaires who want to set sail
In yachts for distant points constant
II are served by the bureau. Ships

with this and other Offices.
The ice cream manufactures wants
10 know the weather outlook for the
weekend. If Saturday and Sunday
are to be cool and rainy, he saves
money by cutting down on the output.
IL clear and hot, he is ready for
big business. He likewise calls for
daily reports.
The weather man often is asked If
the moon was shining on a certain
night months ago, whether the sun
was shining, whether 1t showed or
rained or what was the temperature
on such and such date.
This information mostly is In de-
mand for court trials Of civil and
criminal cases. The weather record
plays an important part in many cases
and on some days Mr.. Scorr visits as
many as seven different courts.

Once Inmate of Home,
Gives Orphans Party

! Kansas City, Mo.-Frank Payne
knows the heart and mind of the kid
or tiie orphan asylum for he was once
one Of them. So Mr.. Payne gave a
party.
/! It was no formal affair. Mr.. Payne
invited the So children Of the ellis
home, an orphanage where he lived
as child, to his country estate.
When the 43 girls and 46 boys
poured out of the buses the host
presented the freedom of the Payne
flower gardens, the pride of the dis
itrict, the cherry orchard, with limbs
bending under the loads of Sweet
hearts" the 11-acre strawberry patch ;
boys, satiated with globules peeped
from beneath green runners; the
woods and the creek.
Boys went up cherry trees, girls ran
for flowers; boys and girls went down
on their knees in the strawberry
patch; boys, saturated with cherries
and Strawberries, experimental with
the red berries Of the mulberry grove
and found them green. Other boys
tore for the woods and still others
for the creek, shedding clothes as they
went.
| Many glorious hours later the kids
left. The estate was like a cyclone
swept zone. But Mr.. Payne was
happy.
IF they had broken every tree down
and had uprooted every strawberry
plant" he said, ut would have been
worth it to see the Joy they had"

the board at its annual meeting the
name Of a candidate for president
It is believed the majority of this

Prof. Wright.
at is thought the committee of

The post has been vacant for nearly
two years. The faculty have object

books and now snakeskin jackets
have made their appearance on the
Champs Elysees and at the Long
champ races. These startling reptilian
coats, which are weird enough to
make any serious drinker believe his
dreams of pink and blue snakes have
come true, are the length Of Jacket
and trimmed with fur at the neck
and the hem. They are patterned to
resemble the mottled skin of q rat
tlesnake, usually toned to light brown
color. The snakeskin effect is pro:
huced by glazing the material.
