SHIP BATTLES
 FIERCE CALE;
 IA MEN LOST
Swept by Swish ing Wave Wash-
 ed Overheard

PANAMA. Aug. 21.--The story of a fierce battle with the sea and wind in which IA lives were lost is recounted in the log of the Mystic Line steamship w. l. McKenney which docked here last night. long overdue from Seattle.
 The log shows that on August 8, when the men perished, near midnight, the ship was fighting strong gale and lost the steer ing control. The engines were cut down to half speed and an unsuccessful attempt was made to bring the steamers brow to windward. A heavy sea struck the vessel, shifting the forward deck load to port.
 The rigging foremast was brok- en off, the mast crashing over the starboard side. The ships deck load of lumber went over board and the engines were stopped and all hands were ord cred on deck to cover the hatch es, the covers having been wash ed overoard with the lumber.
 A tremendous wave swirled over the ship tearing away every thing on the deck and break ing windows in the upper chart room The wheelhouse was food led doors of the saloon smashed in and lifeboats carried away.
 It was while the crew was at tempting to cover the hatches that the wave swished the IA sailors into the sea. none of whom were rescued as the life boats had been carried way.
 The weather continued unfav- orable for one day then the steer ing apparatus was repaired and the skipper turned about hoping to find some of the men who might have been saved by climb ing on some of the lumber which had been washed overheard. No trace of the men was found all though some of the lumber was recovered

HOW IS RAINFALL MEASURED?

Rainfall is measured by the inch.
An inch of rain is the amount of pre-
cipitation on a surface to the depth
of one inch. When we say the an
nual rainfall of a certain state is 10
inches, we mean that there is
enough precipitation on it each year
to cover the entire surface, if it
were perfectly level, to the depth of
10 inches. A perpendicular vessel,
when exposed away from buildings,
trees and other interfering objects,
will collect the average amount of
rainfall. All rain cages, no matter
how complicated, are based On this
principle. Contrary to popular be-
lief, rain falling straight down will
not fill an exposed receptacle quick
er than rain falling at an angle, as
when it is accompanied by a wind.
The fact that the rain is blown
in one direction or another
will not affect the total amount of
water falling into the vessel. What
is lost on one side is gained on the
other. Precipitation in the form of
snow, sleet and hail is melted, pour
ed into a rain gage, and then meas
ured and recorded in the same man
ner as rainfall.-The Pathfinder.

TRAFFIC PLANS

Both the pedestrian and the motor
list are offered a measure of needed
protection in articles adopted by the
Committee on Municipal Traffic Or
dinances and Regulations of the Ma
tional Conference on Street and
Highway Safety at its Washington
conference. To the pedestrian the
articles would, if enforced through
out the country, assure the right of
way on crossways designated for his
use, except where traffic-control sig
nails were in effect. To the motorist
they promise relief from the annoy
ance and the menace of the hitch
mixer who blocks the roadway while
begging for a ride.
An attempt to authorize the pass
ing of vehicles on the right was de-
feated, partly through the efforts of
George w. Elliott, general secretary
OF the Philadelphia Chamber of Com
merce. His opposition was undoubt-
eddy justified. A wiser Recommended
ton would be one authorizing police
to enforce rule now written in
many traffic codes, which provides
that slOw-moving vehicles must
keep to the right, leaving the center
Of the road open to cars travelling at
swifter pace.

PLAN 1929 GARDENS NOW

Planning the garden is usually a
matter for early spring. Frequent
ly, say the hOrticulturists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, it might better be done the
previous summer. Often in the fruit
or vegetable garden there come
times when only a small supply of
vegetables is available. At the
same time neighbOrs who planted
different varieties, or planted at
different times, will be enjoying the
benefits of the garden and a success
sion of its products. At that time
it is possible to take note Of present
deficiencies and to prepare to rem
edy them the following year. A
sheet of paper for preservation of
summer resolutions will provide
helpful when the early gardening
period returns again.
Also it is well to observe effective
groupings of perennials and ANIMALS
in neighboring gardens with a view
to Encouragement transplanting, or
sowing of seeds to obtain the most
beautiful arrangements of the gar
dens.
In many sections of the country
the autumn offers the best oppor-
tunity for planting new shrubs and
trees. Plans should be made to fit
these with those already placed and
with prospective paintings. For
best results in gardening and land.
scaping, plans should be laid well
in advance and adhered to from year
to year.
