whenever and wherever the weather
fails to follow the forecast, there are
malicious grumblings from few, for
nothing 10 more satisfying than point
ing with pride to the fact that the
weather man was wrong. When the
weather agrees with the forecasts, and
most of the time it does, nothing is said
about it. 1t is taken for granted.
But on March the eyes of the Ma
ton are turned on Washington and the
weather forecast. If the forecast is
wrong-but forecasts are seldom wrong;
it is the weather that is wrong. The
forecast for March 4, 1909. was scien-
correct. The weather should
have been fair, according to all the
signs. But freak snowstorm made
life miserable for everybody, including
the Weather Bureau. 1t will be many
a long day before they forget the
Fourth of March. 1909, at the Weather
Bureau. The consequences Of that fore
cast were rather tragic.
The safest thing to do for March 1.
from forecaster's viewpoint. is to fore
cast something rather gloomy, like n
bad snowstorm, or heavy rain. Then.
if the weather produces a balmy Spring
day, there may be laughs for the
Weather Bureau, but they will be mel
OW laughs and cood.natured Gibes. But
II the Weather Bureau says that the
day will be fine. and the snowstorm of
1909 comes back to vaunt Its spleen ON
Mr.. Hoover's majority-then the laughs
become vindictive, and there are de-
mands that something be done.
Sympathetic wishes for good luck
should be extended to the harassed
weather man today. And if he is pes
Sinistic in his forecast, do not blame
him.

Arthur M. HYDE.

Arthur M. Hyde, former Governor of
Missouri, Is to be Secretary of Agricul-
ture In the Hoover cabinet. Conflrma-
ton of his selection comes with the
first report that Mr.. Hyde would head
the Department of Agriculture, in the
eleventh hour before the whole list Is
to be officially announced by the Presi-
dent-elect. Despite the wide Specula-
ton and conjecture as to whom this
post in the cabinet would 60. the secret
that Mr. Hoover was considering the
former Missouri governor was closely
guarded.
The President-elect has selected a
man Of distinct ability and qualification
to head the Department Of Agriculture.
Gov. Hyde Is trained executive. He
has knowledge of the farm problem,
living as he does in one of the great
farm States, over which he presided as
chief executive, and owning and running
farms OF his own. Furthermore, the new
Secretary OF Agriculture is speaker of
great ability, an orator, convincing and
sometimes cauStic, as his opponents
have discovered in political campaigns
He Is rated in Missouri as on par with
Senator Jim" Reed himself on the
stump. Mr.. Hyde is an ardent sup
porter of the dry cause, and he and
Senator Reed have frequently clashed
in their home State.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

A new way to listen to radio is COM
ing into vogue in thousands of Ameri-
can homes.
Whereas in the past many turned on
the set at twilight and let it run on
until midnight, new and more dis
eliminating usage today is taking the
place of that old wholesale method.
We speak not of the extraordinary
broadcastS, such as will be sent out to
the Nation of the inaugural ceremonies
Monday, but simply of day-in and day
out programs
Unless the hordes of radio fans"
throughout the country are to bore
themselves to death, something must
be done about the marathon listening
which is taking place in many homes.
Every one knows some person who
literally runs" his radio Set all day
long--and almost all night too. Thus
he annoys his neighbors and clogs him
self with too much music.

Now music is like any other sweet
ening, too much of 1t Is almost worse
than none at all. Every one must be
the standard of comparison for himself
of course, but the general truth holds
good.
Who is there who has not expert
enced disgust at hearing the same
melody too many times? 1t may be
beautiful piece of music, but constant
repetition will stale it.
The same thing holds good of music
per sc. Music in large and vulgar doses
tends to nauseate the sensitive listener
In a short time. 1t will take longer to

even he will succumb at last. He
may never know what is the matter
with him. He will place the blame
m his favorite station, declare the
programs to be "rotten." and turn to
fevcrishly listening to out-of-town
broadcastS.
Everywhere he goes. however, he
brings in the same old tunes, until
at last he shuts off his radio set in
disgust and goes to bed. hoping next
day to find better programs.
The next evening finds him at his
place the moment he gets home from
work, absorbing whole hours of music
with few speeches deftly sandWiched

and classical" music.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

The Romans borrowed it from the

Phoenicians obtained their alphabet. 1t
has been suggested that the % char
acters were adopted from the HERO
glyphics of Egypt, the cuneiform char
acters of Babylon, or the symbols used
by the Hittites or Cretans. A theory
widely accepted today is that the
Phoenicians, being great traders and
therefore familiar with the various sys-

chose from them such symbols as they

Immediately. The farm problem is one
of the first to come before the Congress,
in the special session in April It is a
problem which has defied solution for
the last five or six years, so far as ma
tional legislation is concerned. Mr.. Hoo
YER has promised the farmers of the
country an adequate program of relief
which will be calculated to give the
American farmer an opportunity to be
on level with the manufacturer and
industrial worker when it comes to
sharing in the general prosperity of the
country. The President-elect naturally
has his own views on such a farm pro-
gram. But the advice of his Secretary
OF Agriculture naturally will be sought.
Mr.. Hyde has an opportunity to make
a reputation for himself in dealing with
the problem, both in the legislative stage
and later in the administrative.

Washington's Inauguration Guests.

Between now and Monday morning
many thousands Of people will come to
Washington from all over the country
From every State they will make their
pilgrimage to the Capital City. They
will come in trains and by motor cars
perhaps the larger number by the lat
ter method, covering shorter distances
from nearby States. There is no pos
sible computation of the throng as
senlbling here to do honor to the new
President and Vice President by attend
ing their induction into office
This will be the largest Inauguration
attendance of several years Not since
1918. indeed, has there been a cere-
monial of induction of a character to
attract people by large numbers from
distances. The programs have been
simple and plain, and for that reason
comparatively few persons have made
the trip to Washington on such occa-
sions. Now, thanks to the agreement of
Mr.. Hoover to a return in some degree
to the Inauguration style of the past,
provision has been made for spectacle
that will in itself amply justify the
trouble and expense of visit to the
Capital.
1t is not merely the pageantry of
brilliant parade that draws the people
to Washington on such an occasion
They come to take part, as it were, in
the ceremony of placing in Office the
men who have been chosen, by their
votes, to administer the national affairs
for four years. The parade, the fire.
works, the decorations, the social diver
sions combine to make the occasion a
brilliant expression of the public delight
in the renewed demonstration of the
American capacity for self -government.
Furthermore, the Inauguration affords
an opportunity and an occasion for a
visit to Washington, which is always a
pleasure to the people Of the States.
Notwithstanding the fact that it is
crowded at such time, that accommo-
dations are at premium, that COM
forts are somewhat lessened by reason
OF the congestion, the city Is lure for
thousands, many of whom have never
before made the journey to the Capital.
AS far as possible Washington makes
its guests at inauguration time COM
Portable and happy. The transport
facilities are taxed to the utmost, but
they serve. The housing Is put to its
fullest capacity, but everybody is given
shelter. Washington has done this thing
for good many years, and, despite the
lapse since 1913, 1t has not lost its
knack of caring for these occasional
crowds of visitors.
There is much for the Inauguration
guests to see in and around Washington
beside the ceremonies and pageantry of
March 4. There are pilgrimages to
shrines, there are public Offices, there
are interesting sections of nearby
country to inspect. There are sights"
to see. No other American city holds as
much of interest for the visitor as does
this, the Capital City And the facili-
ties for inspection are ample and COM
Portable. The wise Inauguration visitor
comes early and remains until after the
"big show" in order to see everything
and to leave with the sense of a full
flllment of pleasurable patriotic duty.
