VACATION WEATHER SIGNS
WITHOUT A BAROMETER

Fred Peet, National Secretary of the
Izaak Walton League of America, and
well known outdoors man, gives some
interesting information on how to tell
future weather conditions. He says:
"It is always good plan on travel
ing into new country, to inquire of the
natives regarding the prevailing
weather signs and probabilities. For
instance, there is always one wind that
commonly brings rain, another that
prevails only during fair weather and
so on.
Every district, too, has its old ira
ditional signs, such as, for fair
weather; cobwebs on wet grass; GRIM
son sunset; swallows flying high; rain
bow at night; heavy dew in the
evening. Bad weather indications:
woodpeckers and bluejays very noisy;
swallows flying low; sun shining
through watery haze; rainbow in the
morning; halo round the moon; dark
clouds blown rapidly under lighter
ones.
These are only few of the ancient
rules, many of them being good
enough, at least, to give fair warning.
Last summer while on a fishing
trip in Michigan it started to rain
quite hard. I sat under lean-to ex-
tending from the porch of farm

EDUCATION URGED AS
ACCIDENT PREVENTION.

The Importance of education in
traffic control and accident prevention
is emphasized in the official report of
the third National Conference on
Street and Highway Safety, held last
month in Washington. A summary OF
this portion of the report is contained
in bulletin received this week by the
Miner from the Highway department.
I'm view of the fact that collisions
of motor vehicles with pedestrians
amount to more than SO per cent of
the total number of fatal traffic ac-
cidents, the education and regulation
of pedestrians as we'll as drivers should
be given greater attention than at
present." says the report. "PedeS-
TRANS and motorists should bear con-
siderate attitude each to the other"
public schools throughout the
country have organized admirable
courses for specific safety education.
The interest of school children has
been aroused further through nat
ional essay contest conducted annually.
These safety educational activities
have shown their ability to awaken
public consciousness of the character of
the accident problem and means OF
avoiding hazards. These effects have
been particularly noteworthy among
children of school age, among whom
the accident rate has actually de-
creased during the period of general
national increase"
Although fatalities among children
under Is have shown a decrease, begin
ming in 1928, the number is so large
that the matter should have the SER
ious consideration of school author
tiles in every community, says the re-
port, with a view to augmenting In
struction in safety methods and ac-
cident prevention in the schools.
School authorities should join with
police officials in providing for the
safety Of the children, and compelling
compliance with traffic regulations In
the vicinity of school buildings.
Education in safety and accident
prevention should be included in the
curricula of all elementary schools,
public and private, parochical schools,
night schools, vocational schools, citi-
zen schools and schools for non-Eng-
lish speaking adults, the report urges
1t should be supplemented by contests,
organized playground training, school
, safety patrols, boy and girl scouts and
junior safety organizations. More adj
vanced training in safety and traffic
matters should be developed in secon-
Diary schools, normal schools, schools
for playground supervisors, engineering
schools and universities.
Building sidewalks or paths where
ever there is considerable foot traffic
is recommended. Where there are no
sidewalks, walking on the left side
should be encouraged, but should not
be required by law. In congested areas
pedestrians should be urged or re-
quired to keep on the sidewalk or with
in the boundaries of safety zones or
cross walks and to obey the traffic rules
and regulations

and the rain did not let up, I asked
the farmer what he thought of the

He was correct in his prediction, for
1t not only rained the rest of that
afternoon but continued in a slow
drizzle all that night. While a good
barometer might be the most reliable,
connot help but recognize some of
the signs and rules handed diwn by
our grandparents. Nine times out of
ten they prove correct.

Airplanss and Public Waters.

A ruling with many complex angles
has just been handed down by the New
Jersey State Board of Commerce and
Navigation. 1t prohibits the use of sea-
planes on New Jersey inland waters
and presents an entirely new picture of
what the growth of flying has meant to

lakes and rivers in the state. In refus-
ing an application of commercial air.
plane service to operate a five-passenger
seaplane between Lake Hopatcong and
New York the board ruled that air
craft flying from the water constitute
a menace to surface navigation and will
not be permitted to land on any New
Jersey inland waters"
This ruling, which at first glance
seems drastic in the extreme, is perhaps
not so drastic after all, although it does
appear to cover entirely too much ter
ritory In the first place, it relates
only to the setting up of commercial
service 1t does not, and probably ran
not, interfere with private owners OF
seaplanes. In the second place, it is
patiently designed to protect users of
the water, for either swimming OF boat
ing, from the menace Of fast landing

Serves Lisbon Right.

Word comes from Lisbon that a war
on alley cats has left the city open to
the invasion of hordes of rats. Friends
of honest Tom will feel inclined to say,
Serves 'em right"
The dog and the cat remain mans
best friends among the animals. The
character of each tribe is different
enough to be interesting. The service
of the cat to man against the rodents
has been universally recognized as Of
great Importance. Now the Portuguese
city is learning its lesson.
There are enough noxious creatures,
especially among the insects, to demand
all of mans attention. The small ami
mails known as domestic cats ask Moth
ing better than to be left alone. Even
the roamers, without homes, will do
little If any damage or harm, and their
activities help tremendously in keeping
down the rats and mice.
Man should let the cats alone, and
wage war against mosquitoes, fieas,
reaches, ants, flies. These arch no
friendly backs, at the approach of his
hand. nor do they purr their apprecia-
ton.

Outside Work for Service Men.

An order, Just issued by the District
Commissioners, forbidding policemen
and Iiremen to do any work for COM
pensation outside Of their regular duties
is based primarily upon economic
grounds relating to the immediate stu
alton as to unemployment in the Dis
trict. 1t has, however, other considera-
lions. 1t is in part inspired by the
belief that the members Of the Police
and Fire Departments should not dimin-
ish their energy or distract their at
tention from their official duties and
so lessen their efficiency.
At the last session Of Congress an act
was passed revising the pay scale of
the two departments of the District
government. While the scale was not
placed as high as the policemen and
tiremen desired, it was nevertheless put
at point which yields a very salts
factory compensation. Under that scale
it is possible for the members of the
two departments to maintain themselves
adequately. without recourse to extra
compensation by the doing of various
kinds of work outside Of their official
duties.
1t is not, of course, desirable that
any public service employees should be
absolutely barred from engaging IN
enterprises or work that will assist
them in making living" if such out
side ay,oy,1O,,,,ay,t doas ,oAt coy,s{it,,t.
an injustice to others not on Official
pay rolls who are dependent upon pri-
vate employment for livelihood. When
jobs are at a premium, as in the present
number Of men are out Of work, for
members Of the Police and Fire De-
partments to engage in outside occu-
pations is virtually to maintain. g. sub
sidized competitive working force, which
is not fair
In normal economic conditions, when
artisans and unskilled workers are in
demand, with a surplus of jobs rather
than surplus Of labor, engagement by
the policemen and firemen in outside
occupations will be permissible without
encroachment upon the rights Of the
unofficial members Of the community,
but even so consideration is always to
be given to the question of whether
engagement in outside work lessons the
efficiency. Probably the most satisfac-
tory way in such conditions would be to
require that permission be obtained
before the acceptance Of any occupa-
ton or task outside of official duties.
It is to be doubted whether any man
would decline to enroll himself in one
of these two departments on such terms
if opportunity offered.

in this case, TO allow a section of lake
to be converted into a private field"
for the use Of commercial concern.
The only drastic phase of the ruling
Is that 1t includes all inland bodies of
water, regardless of their size. On a
small lake, with the shores dotted with
cottages, no planes of any description
should be permitted. The wake kicked
up by speeding seaplane would almost
surely capsize canoe or small boat
and the danger to the cottagers or
those living in hotels, should a pilot
miscalculate in setting down" or tax
ing of his ship in a small space, would
be acute.
On larger bodies of water, however,
these disadvantages should be obviated,
and there appears to be no logic in re-
fusing to permit commercial services
from these points. On every large lake
or river will be found thoroughly nav
igable portions which are not used to
any extent by residents, and it would
seem that utilization of these sections
by planes would cause a minimum of
interference with other traffic. Of
course, swimmers and boatmen have
no monopoly on any body of water, but
safety is the chief factor to be con-
sidered and they should be protected.
1t would appear, therefore, that the
board could well revise its ruling to in
clude only waters of a specified area.
The size of a lake or river necessary
for safe operation of aircraft in con-
junction with other users of the water
could be determined by an investigat-
ing commission. If this is done, it is
likely that the ruling would be re-
versed in regard to Lake Hopatcong,
which is more than eight and .one-half
miles long and three and one-half miles
wide-certainly an adequate area for
seaplanes, bathers and boatmen to share
with comfort and safety to all.

Picturesque Personalities
Are Features of Primaries

Des Moines Tribune-Capital (independ-
ent Republican, describes Senator Rams
dell as "a high-tariff Democrat" but
thinks that probably Long would not
have been nominated had it not been for
the same policy" The Houston Chron-
icle remarks that "one of the high
priests in the temple of protection has
fallen" although it feels that "the up
set was unexpected" while conceding
that political observers were prepared
for a chance of his defeat at the
hands of a younger and more ener-
getic candidate"
Gov. Long is a headline maker Of
parts" declares the Omaha World
Herald independently, with the con-
clusion, We'll. he's going to buck a
hard game in the Senate" Referring
to the two States, the Birmingham
News (Democratic) advises that 1T
seems the bad must come with the
good" while the Baltimore Sun (in-
dependent Democratic) finds it diff
cult to reconcile such prospective rep

of Louisiana" but the Shreveport Jour-
nal (Democratic) bows to the will Of
the voters"
In explanation Of the result the
Meridian Mississippi Star independently
says: Louisiana voters are exchanging

energetic, keen and clever Gov. Long.
Long is human dynamo-perpetual

loved and hated. worShiped and de-
spised in turn. His enemies accuse him
of all sorts of political high crimes and
misdemeanors; his friends defend him
as the apostle OF Louisiana progress
and picture him as a modern govern
mental Moses"
Possibly the estimate Of Mr.. Long
has been distorted by unfriendly propa-
ganda," comedies the Chattanooga

pendent) suspects that there must be
something wrong in Louisiana beneath
