here in the same manner as it is
handled on the coast, and the PO-
mona office has informed Bcyschlag
that some steps will be taken before

ever, that Imperial Valley has
enough acreage and crops of suffi-
cicnt importance to warrant the cs-

an office would be invaluable in its

dispatch from kabul said today that
King Amanullah has published n
royal decree descending the bulk of
the reforms he ordered in his effort
to wcstcrnizc Afghanistan.
Popular outcry against the mod.
crnization of the country led to the
recent serious tribal rebellion

Imperial Valley has long felt the
reed Of II weather bureau office, and
especially since the increase in cit
rus fruit acreage has this need been
stressed. For the past few months,
Frank G. Bcyschlag has been carry
ing on correspondence with various
agencies on the subject Of the cs-
tabIishmcnt Of such an office in the
valley and in the past week James
II. Gordon, mctcoroIogist Of the
weather bureau in Yuma, has visited
the valley to discuss such step.
Gordon feels that such tcmpcra-
turc record would help the entire ir-
rigat"d desert area of the southwest
and the various stations would con
sttutc 4 check on each other.
At the suggestion Of Bcyschlag
and Gordon, Robert Hays, secretary
Of the chamber Of commerce has
taken up the matter Of the cStah-
Iishment Of Il weather bureau office
her" with Congressman Phil Swing,
and all are very hopeful that some
definite result will be achieved.
This work has been carried ON in
the Salt River Valley and about
Yuma for a number of years past
and it makes available n fund Of in
formation regarding the winter tom
peraturc conditions, where citrus
planting may be made with the least
danger Of frost; where winter vcgc-
tables are likely to find the most
favorable temperature and where il
is no; safe to plant citrus or Un-
favorable to plant winter vegetables.
Cost Is Nominal
In Yuma, the weather bureau sup
plies the shelters and supports, Il
minimum thermometer and record
blanks; observations are made and
records are kept by interested farm
cfs. Two or three times Il season =
weather bureau official visits each
location 10 make sure that all is in
order and the records are being well
kept. The bureau office works mp
all records and puts the material in
shape to be useful. There are II
stations working, some being shifted
to ne" locations as the need arises
and Gordon suggests that in Impc-
rial Valley, at least 80 stations
should b" used. He states that 5000
should provide the equipment, ac-I
cording to his estimates and ncccs
sary travel would probably cost
about $50 year. IS this is very
modDr rate expense fer the good that
would result. those Interested are
very hopeful that the office Of the
weather bureau may be obtained, or
if that is not possible, at least that
individual stations may be cstab-
lshcd in various sections Of I'M

der government supervision.

 Coming from land where they raise lady-discus throwing cham pions, she wonders mildly at the many women rolling by in limou- sines.
 She has heard much of Helen Wills but she has seen comparative ly few women here leaping after the elusive ball. On her daily rambles in the parks she meets few women pedestrians outside of the wives and daughters of diplomatic corps members.
 From the windows of the big le- gahon. madame looks out occa- sionally and asks:
 Where are the Americans who walk?'

Charges Against

 Are Nude Public

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 20-"Scan- dalous conduct" is charged against Lieut.. H. w. Northcutt, formerly of Norfolk Navy Yard, now held in confinement at the Puget Sound Navy Yard A Navy courtmartial soon will sit in investigation of his case, it was learned here today.
 Lieutenant Northcutt disappeared from his post of duty at the Navy Yard here early in October. For several days he was thought to have been the victim of foul play but Il days later he was found in Vancouver, B. C., allegedly in com- pany with young woman said to have been a nurse in a New York hospital.
 Local authorities understand the Navy Department will not file any charge of embezzlement against Lieutenant Northcutt in connection with his alleged use of funds be- longing to the extension department of the University of Virginia, by reason of the fact that the univer- sity has been paid all monies col lected by Lieuteant Northcutt.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Beginning Jan. 1, 1930, Sears, Roebuck & Co.,, mail order house, employing 10000 persons, will operate on thirteen months-a-year schedule, it was dis closed today by reliable sources.
 The plan, already adopted by many other business houses. is ex- pected to facilitate business opera tions and allow for a better com parison of business volume year by year. With every month having the same number of weeks and the same number of Saturdays better comparison of business output can be made, it was explained.
 All departments will operate on the plan. Sundays, of course, will be observed, but employees will be paid on the basis of thirteen per iods a year instead of twelve, theii salaries readjusted to the new schedule.

madame's figure is a supple and slender as that of a girl. Her eyes are clear and sparkling. Pink cheeks attest the daily long walk and game of tennis.
 Sitting on gilt and satin sofa beside tea table, she talked of the women of Poland. and was sur- prised that discus throwing is not the popular sport here that it is there. A feature of American life which she greatly admires is the country club. Although she enjoys exercise, Madame Filipowicz likes also a game of cards or a chat on a wide veranda or in club rooms.
 She craves these luxuries for the women of her own war-torn coun- try.
 Alas, we have few clubs there she says wistfully We have been too busy since the war building apartment houses for living pur-. poses. We have neither tune nor money for recreation places like country clubs. hope the time will come when women of Poland can have those pleasures"
