STORM WARNINGS
TO Be IMPROVED
Mitchell Suggests Pay for
Messages of Observers
Aboard Ships.
BY the Associated Press.

~ 'AS hoooSietSo 1iCcos
A better system of hurricane warn
ings may grow out Of the storm which
struck New England last month with
unexpected fury.
Weather Bureau officials today sent
4 special report on the storm to Sec
retary Of Agriculture Wallace and, al
though details were not disclosed i'm
mediately. Chief Forecaster c. l..
Mitchell indicated an improved
method OF obtaining reports from ves-
sek at sea was recommended.
Mr.. Mitchell, a forecaster on duty
at the Weather Buresu at the time of
the hurricane, pointed out that no
reports were received from vessels after
the disturbance passed 100 miles east
Of Cape Hatteras, N. c., early on
September 21.
I'VE had nothing to indicate its in
tensity above Hatteras," he said. I'VE
considered the storm dangerous at all
times, but we didn't realize its
strength"
Had there been frequent ship re-
ports as there were when the storm
was in Southern waters, the forecaster
continued, the bureau probably would
have had more knowledge of the hur-
ricane's velocity and its course and
more time to warn New England.
Mr. Mitchell pointed out that weather
observers aboard vessels were not paid,
the government defraying only the
cost Of transmitting their messages.
He suggested that system of paying
these observers, as some nations do,
might have beneficial effect.

Two robbers who took his taxicab
at pistol point early today were kind
enough to tell John Miller, IS, colored,

find 1t again.

instructed him to drive to the 5100

have been the same who held up a
bus driver shortly previously, strolled
into a filling station at Third and H

Book, Who's Who and biographical
reference of diplomatic, official and
residential families who comprise the
400" of Washington Society. This
book will differ from all the other
publications in that it will contain
only a select few hundred families
instead of several thousands. Alfred
j. Smith and Ealdridge Rogers, the
publishers, plan to give Washington
a detailed volume of the most socially
prominent families in town for the
year 1889. That means that even if
your family descends straight from
the Mayflower or from some English
Baronet or Viscount, you won't neces-
Sarily be included in the book. AS
society and aristocracy (f you can
really think of aristocracy in a mod
ern democracy like the U. S. are two
very different things, so this original
publication will be different from any
other American book of society. :.

she included genuine product of

you the list of the most glamorous

what the New Workers have to say
about it. We aren't afraid of any

Talking of glamour boys, Anthony
Eden didn't look like an Esquire ad

left the White House. He didn't

cure nothing but good old plain fat.
Its object is to teach you how to pre-
