EXTRA REPORTS
FOR AVIATORS
Forecasting Ccrvice For
u. s. Is Planned By
Department
(Special to The Herald)

WASHINGTON, July 8.-An i'm
portant new intensive weather re-
porting and forecasting service for
aviators was started on July l by
the Weather Bureau Of the Unit
ed States Department of Agricul-
ture along the New York-Chicago-
San Francisco-Los Angeles airways.
This service, which vas made pos
sible by a congressional appro-
priation of $350,OOO, will have a
system Of reports broadcast every
three hours by voice from four
collecting centers where there are
powerful radio b~roadcasting sta
lions of the department Of COM
merce.
These stations, located at Cleve-
land, Omaha, Salt Lake City and
San Francisco, will receive tele-
graphic reports every three hours,
day and night, from about 60 Sc
lected reporting stations situated on
both sides of the airways, and
about 100 to 200 miles from the
route taken by filters. A strip ap-
proximately 400 miles wide and
stretching from coast to coast will
thus be covered by this network Of
reporting stations, which are about
so miles apart. Aircraft r now
equipped with radio receiving sets
SO that when information is made
available to aviators by broadcast
ing, it car be picked up along the
route, thus insuring greater safety.

GIVE THANKS
FOR MONARCH
British Populace Holds Reli-
gious Service For
King George

LONDON, July 6.@(P)-George v.
king of England and of the British
dominions beyond the seas, defender
Of the faith and emperor Of India,
was conSecrated anew Sunday in
historic Westminster Abbey by a re-
ligious service probably unique in
history.
The service was sponsored by his
millions Of subjects in Thanksgiving
and gratitude to providence in de-
livering their sovereign from his re-
cent grievous illness.
Many thousands of King Georges
British subjects, took an active part
in the service in and around the
abbey. while millions of others par
ticipated through the radio or by
similar services in various parts of
the world.
English history does not record
a similar ceremony.
A home like atmosphere was lent
to the ceremony by the presence of
the public for the first time at a
state thanksgiving service.
Nineteen years ago; when King
George succeeded to the crown of
England, on the death of his father,
King Edward, he was crowned for
mally and officially consecrated to
the task Of ruling the far flung Brit
ish Empire.
He was crowned today with the
visible love Of his people and conSe-
Grated anew by the loyalty, respect
and admiration of his subjects.
The Duke and Duchess of York
were the first members of the royal
family to leave Buckingham Palace
today for Westminster Abbey. They
were followed by Prince George and
Princess Victoria, sister of King Ed
ward, in one car and by Princess
Mary and Viscount Lasce'les in an
other car.
A few minutes later a closed Ian
dau left the palace grounds with
four nurses, Misses Black who still
attends the king, and Purdie, Davis
and Gordon who nursed his majesty
through his long illness.
Then the big palace gates swung
open and two open barouches, each
with scarlet and gold liveried coach
men and footmel- on the boxes,
came out.
In the first we're King George,
Queen Mary, and the Prince of
Wales. The second carried the Lord
and Lady in waiting and the Equerry
in waiting.
An immense crowd, many Of whose
spectators had been waiting since
midnight. gathered along Whitehall.
AS the kings carriage came into
view there were cries on every hand
Of "'ere comes the king. God bless
him"
The emotional fervor ran high,
and there we're tears Of happiness
and joy at seeing the monarch again
in good health after his narrow es-
cape from death.

Conference Of Agriculture
Department to Consider
Additional Moves
Some Daring Runners

WASHINGTON, July 8.-The adj
visibility of placing further restrlc-
tons on the importation of fruit
stocks, including cuttings or any
classes of them, will be considered
at a conference called by the Plant

tration Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture for July 10,
1929, at 10 o'clock. The meeting

and Mazzard cherry stocks, in
which the following statement was
made: with respect to the defer

aleb cherry, M~yrobalan plum and
rose stocks, if in the Judgment OF
the department it should later
seem possible to consider final &C
ton relative to these stocks, a con-
ference will be called and, if the
information presented should war
rant the department in excluding
such stocks, If safety permits, be
so liked as to allow a reasonable
period for adjustment, both in this
country and abroad"
At this conference 1t is also pro-
posed to give consideration to other
fruit stocks, such as fig, nut, per-
simmon, ETC., which have been i'm
ported in relatively small numbers.
Persons interested in rose stocks
are advised that it is not the in
tention to consider at this time fur
Their restrictions on entry of these
stocks and such consideration is
postponed pending the outcome Of
Investigations which are still in
progress.
The pest risk incident to bulk
importation of fruit stocks has been
fully discussed in connection with
previous conferences, the depart
ment stated.

try to keep this fight down, since
they believe it would be water over

to revive his campaign, whereas If
he is permitted to run as a demo-
crat they believe his Tammany cry
will excite little interest.
Interesting issues such as reg
ulation of public utilities, submits
sion of an income tax for the ad

would provide locolNotion for a live

Governor Moody has advocated
these things before an unfriendly,

Editors Note: This Is the fifth
and last article of a series on the
activities of rum runners along the
Detroit river.)
AMHERSTBURG, Ont, July g.
Before us stretches that section Of
the Detroit river where the major
rum running activities Of the pres
ent time are centered. Bob-LO Is
land, and amusement park, hides us
from the U. S. side of the river and
protects the various gentlemen of
the bootlegging fraternity, lolling
about the export dock, from the
scrutiny of coast guard and border
patrol boats.
Rough, uncouth fellows? with in
Sofent manners?
You don't know your ~bootleggers!
A great many of the boys" look
like college youths on vacation, or
pleasure boat owners
Not a loud word spoken.
Not a quarrel.
Not a sign of drunkenness.
That's a picture of the modern
bootlegger who is in the business to
make money. He hasn't time to
waste at the dock. He wants to get
his load and dispose of it as quickly
as possible SO that he a return for
another.
Some 20 boats are in the slip to-
day, most of them making no effort
to load before the dock closes at 6
p. m. This isn't going to be a very
suspicious night for work since the
moon will be full. Many of the boat
men prefer not to work on moonlit
nights since the danger of their be-
ing picked up is SO great. wait un-
til there is no moon" they say,
then We'll all be out on the river
| again"
However, some hardy souls are
making the risky trip to the other
| side in broad daylight. There comes
a boat now returning after dispos-
ing of the load purchased a few
hours before.
Make it all right?" his pals call
out.
"Sure, easy, didn't see a govern
ment boat all the way over or back"
Talk Of a fund to insure safe pass
age is also heard. One man declares,
Each boat pays $1o0-if a man
owns three boats he pays $500.
Usually the pot goes to $1,000. OF
course if we think the coast is clear
and q strange rum chaser comes
along or a new commander Is aboard
the craft with which we have bar
tered we are out of luck"
