BETTER GAUGES SHOW
 WIND IS LESS SPEEDY

NEW YORK. March 13-Uncle Sans meteorologists have been misrepresenting the wind these fifty years or so. But they've begged its pardon and taken steps to correct their mistake.
 New anemometers, devices that measure wind velocity. have bean installed in the weather bureaus of the country as a pledge of the governments good faith. The old instruments. in use since the sev. enties, exaggerated the speed of the air currents: the new ones are nearly accurate.
 The meteorologists knew that the former devices were makina the wind appear speedier than l, really was, but since each of the several score stations was making it's reckonings on the same bass no change was made. In recent years. however. the central bu reau in Washington experimented with three-cup anemometer and found it to be far more accurate than the old type, made with four cups.
 Even these aren't absolutely ac curate. They record a true veloci ty of 65 miles an hour as 6s miles; but the four-cup variety charted similar wind at St miles.

 Gov. Huntley N. Spaulding. per sonal friend of Secretary Hoover. is said to have been the first out and out Hoover man in this cam paign. Spaulding favored Hoover in 1920. With U. s. Senator George H. Moses and former Gov. John c. Winant, the governor leads a list of 15 candidates seek ing seven seats as delegates-at. large from the granite state. All three are unpledged but are fay orable to Hoover's nomination.

CHINO-JAPANESE SITUATION
 CONSIDERED VERY CRAVE

PEkING. tPl - Japanese war ships are being distributed through out Chinese waters. and many addi- tional troops are on the way to re- inforce their embattled comrades at Tsinan
