NAVY OPERATES
MOBILE BUREAU
Transport Chaumont Serves
AS Weather Station On
Pacific Ocean

HONOLULU, July 2o.-(P)-The
navy transport Chaumont Is on the
Pacific ocean as a mobile weather
bureau and meteorological survey
station. Recently she was in port
here en- route to Guam and Manila
and Lieutenant H. IT. Kincaid, navi-
cation officer, told of the work he
he is doing in cooperation with the
weather bure~-r in Washington.
Weather Maps T,otted
Daily weather maps Ire plotted
aboard the vessel from infOrInationl
gathered by radio from San Franz
cisco, Japan, Chi Manila, Apisy
and Pinope, as well as reports from
vessels at sea. From all these data
Lieutenant Kincaid complies a
weather map for the entire Pacific.
The findings of the Chaumont are
then radioed to the San Francisco
weather bureau for broadcast.
The work covers three important
phases of weather and its relation
to shipping and airplane travel.
First Of all" Lieutenant Kinacid
1--WE are making studies to deter
mine what value to shipping select
ed ships forecasts, supplementing
the major forecasts of the weather
bureau, might be.
Our work also includes the tax
ing Of pilot balo~-l ~soundings of the
upper atmosphere at zero, 6, II, and
Is o'clock Greenwich mean time
daily.
THE third phase Of our Study is
that of the correlation of static with
the atmosphere. The Pacific COM
munication office Is recording static
four times daily at San Diego,
Alaska. Honolulu, Apia, Guam and
Cavite."
Lieutenant Kincaid said that the
photographic office, cooperating
with the bureau Of aeronautics and
the bureau Of engineering c. the
navy, is manufacturing instruments
which will automatically record the
direction and intensity Of static.
Scum -ngs of the upper air are
made by releasing balloons which
are spotted with a sextant. BY
keeping a check on the speed and
course of the ship it is possible to
figure accurately the velocity Of the
air currents and the exact height
Of cloud formations.

ITALY FACING
TRADE DEFICIT
Commercial Balance Shows
Import Figures Are Ex-
ceeding Exports
BY ANDRUE BERDING
ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer

ROME, July 29.-R - Italian
economists are figuring out ways
and means Of bolstering Italy's
commercial balance. The fiscal
year just ended showed that balance
increasingly unfavorable.
AlesSandro Martelli, Minister of
National Economy, revealed to the
Chamber of Deputies that the def
icit in the commercial balance-that
is, the superiority Of imports over
exports was 1892, 250,0 or $146,-
100000 more than in 1927.
Causes Transitory
Minister Martelli claims this adj
verse trade balance is due to trans
tory auseS that might not be ac-
tive this year and next. He adj
vances two reasons, one being the
poor harvests resulting from incle-
ment weather and the other. the
sterilization of the lire in 1927, to
which costs of production and SELL
ing prices have not been able as yet
to align themselves. A subordinate
reason, he says, is the increasing
customs duties Of other countries.
Virginia Gayda, editor of the
Glorndale D'Italia, one of the lead
ing newspapers of Rome, who is a
skilled economist, suggests that to
assist agriculture, three methods
should be adopted: provide the
farmer with cheaper capital, elimi-
No{0 tAn yafII1n-ann A1~a~rN 49, =
pletely. and introduce more farm
machinery. The last suggestion, he
admits, will conflict with the gov
ernment's "demographical" policy
Of increasing the population as
much as possible, since more farm
machinery will mean fewer farm
laborers.
Suggests Concentration
Signor Gayda recommends for IN
dustry a greater concentration and
amalgamation of factories. There
are few great industrial plants In
Italy. eS there are in the United
States. The difficulties of amalga-
nation. he admits. are great, since
practically all factories, even those
Of a particular line of manufacture,
are widely scattered.
Italy's trade deficit, Of course, Is
partly balanced by several factors.
One Is her growing shipping trade,
passenger as we'll as freight, which
brings a constant flow Of income.
The italian passenger ships to and
from America are vel patronized.
Another factor is the large amount
spent in Italy by tourists. Amer
lean. English. French. German and
Argentine. These visitors leave be-
hind them each year ore of mill
lions of dollars.

a former associate of Thunderbolt

falls in love with a young bank
clerk. The young boy is played by

LEADING role Of 1.-The Man I Love"
The entire plot, however, centers
about Thunderbolt Jim and his
cruel plan to wreck the lives of
his forr-or sweetheart and the man
she loves. There are many excit-
ing and highly dramatic moments
as the girl and boy match wits with
this hardened and ruthless giant of
the underworld who plots his
scheme for revenge from behind
prison bars. These build up a pow
erful and unusual climax.

What is Eject OF Contract
Negotiated by Agent Acting
for Both Parties?
nv THE CnIyNSEI nm
BY THE COUNSELOR.

Knowing that Samuel Gordon de-
sired to purchase certain business
property, Mr.. Smith, a real estate
broker went to the owner and obtained
the agency to sell the property. In
a short time Smith completed the sale
and contract between seller and pur-
chaser was drawn up. Smith obtained
commissions from both parties.
Gordon, the new owner, learned
shortly after the sale had been con-
summated that Smith had obtained
double commissions. Resenting this
fact and being displeased at his bar
gain, Gordon filed suit to set aside his
contract and to regain his purchase
money. In defense of Smith, the seller
declared at the trial that the agent.
despite his double commissions, had
acted fairly.
Upon proof of the double agency the
court ordered the sale set aside. stating:
THE fact that no actual fraud has
been practiced, no damage has resulted,
and no bad faith has been exercised
in a transaction in which the agent
has acted in a dual capacity do not
make the contract valid, in the absence
or knowledge on the part Of the prin-
cipal of all the material facts. A
secret payment of a commission to the
agent of the other party is of itself a
fraud upon the latter, regardless of
guilty intent. and makes the contract
void or yoidable."

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

March II. 1S72.--Speaker Carter of
the Louisiana House of Delegates has
arrived in Washington with letter
from Gen. Longstreet to President
Grant. Gen. Longstreet states that his
resignation Of the surveyorShip of the
port of New Orleans Is not on account
Of his political feeling, growing out
of the recent Civil War, in which he
played so gallant part on the South
ern side, but only on account of de-
sire to retire entirely from public life
and prepare for an extended absence
from New Orleans. To this end he has
also recently resigned his position as
quartermaster general of the Militia of
Louisiana.
Gen. David Atwood, ex-member of
Congress from Wisconsin and chairman
Of the committee appointed by the Gen.
tennial Celebration Commissioners at
their recent meeting, has invited the
special Japanese embassy in this coun-
try to meet the committee at the Ar
lington Hotel tonight at 7:30 O'Clock.
On that occasion, Gen. Atwood, on be-
half of the committee which he heads,
will present to the embassy resolutions
requesting the government of Japan to
participate in the grand Centennial Ex-
position and Celebration, to be held in
IosO az ItildhClPllA<b W ave
the one-hundredth anniversary of the
signing of the American Declaration Of
independence.
The resolutions have been neatly pre-
pared on parchment and their presenta-
ton will probably be something new in
the experience of these Japanese am
bassadors and consequently very inter-
esting to them as an example of West
ern customs. 1t will. also it is believed,
have considerable diplomatic Importance.
Further evidence that Japan is prepar-
ing to learn the ways of Western civil
ization and take her place among the
other nations of the earth is found In
the fact that she is educating her young
people abroad. 1t was announced here
today that several japanese women will
enter Vassar College next month to re-
ceive an American education.
The dinner given by President Grant
last night at the White House to the
Japanese embassy was a brilliant affair.
Cabinet officers, members of the Senate
and House, Government officials and
their ladies were present in large num-
bers. An interpreter, who could speak
the Japanese and English languages,
made the occasion more enjoyable for
all present.
