Restrictions On Weather
 Repo'r'isNow
Public Predictions Are 10 Be CuriaiIed as War
 lime Preedufion

The Weather Bureau office here went on full wartime basis this morning, with receipt of war emer- gency instructions from the Wash ington, D. C., headquarters of the weather observers.
 Principal restriction will be a close check on the passing out of weather information to any un- identified persons. Weather reports can be one of the most valuable sources of information for enemies planning an attack, it is pointed out iLl#tss.Htt
 Public forecasts of weather are to be limited to 26 hours in ad vance of the time weather maps are made up, it was announced. This will mean that the daily fore cast in The Empire. during the war period, will predict weather for that night only. JlWs
 All marine forecasts are to be discontinued, also, it was stated except where wind velocity of more than 3l miles per hour is ex- pected, when an advisory warning will be issued giving the antici pated wind speed in various quar- ters. Either published or broadcast by radio, these warnings will not state the direction of the wind storm expected. In this same con- llection, special warnings of severe weather conditions expected will also be made public.
 Public inquiries regarding these restrictions may question whether the Weather Bureau offices are going to close the official an- nouncement of the restrictions stated. Local offices should make it clear that weather service is more essential than ever, with the workload upon our offices greatly increased because of the attention that must be given to essential in- formation for defense and military interests"
 There is a possibility that fur ther curtailment of public weather service will be necessary, it was hinted here today, but in any event Weather Bureau officials said they would endeavor to give the public all service possible under wartime restrictions

DOUGLAS NEWS
SCHOOL BOARD PLANS
 CHILDREN PROTECTION

Protection for the children was the main topic of discussion at the regular meeting Of the Douglas School Board held last night. It being the first session since United States declaration of war, consid- eration of the issue had to do with providing shelter for the children should an alarm be sounded while school is in session.
 The Board agreed that the gym nasium is perhaps the safest place at present where the children could gather also the enclosure between the school and gym and there was some discussion of having bags of sand piled against the walls to give added protection against bombs. Proposal was also made that a tun- nel driven into the hill at rear of the school buildings would provide safety Clerk of the Board was di- rected to write to the City Council about providing such a shelter or other aids where expenditure of funds will be necessitated.
 Supt- Pool reported that tne NY. A. would be discontinued at the school after first of the year; also that curtain for the gym stage was due to arrive soon.

 The following proclamation has been issued by President Roosevelt regarding the Red Cross Drive:

 WHEREAS in preparation for just such an emergency as we are lnow facing the American Nation al Red Cross has been spending funds at the rate of more than one million dollars month, which $ but a small fraction of the amount that the organization now requires in order to carry out effectively its functions as an essential aux Hilary of our armed forces, parti- cularly as a friendly liaison in well fare problems between the man in service and his family at home and as key agency in the civil defense plans,
 Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, and President of the American National Red Cross, do hereby proclaim the be-

two years and evidently the persons
who had it knew nothing about the
care of books. Mine have been al
lowed to mildew and are now spotted
and -dingy looking, with the titles
almost obliterated. This Is not an
important library by any means,
but most of them are books that I
have enjoyed and planned to keep. Is
there anything that I could Go to
these bindings to make them more
attractive without going to the ex-
pense of rebinding? The room in
which they are placed could use
a bit of color. Would paint do?
H.D.
Answer-Ordinary paint would not
do, as it would tend to be sticky
and unpleasant to handle. A quick
drying lacquer might do the trick,
but you must be very careful that
they dry thoroughly. would prefer
paper covers for them. You may
purchase delightful Chinese tea
papers in most attractive patterns
and colors. One sheet is just about
the right size to cover a book. They
cost from 5 cents up. and it would
be real hobby to collect appropriate
papers for all your favorite books, as
well as making your book room a
scene Of delightful color.

Add to your bar accessories an
attractive new cocktail shaker. A
particularly outstanding one Is made
in the form Of q torpedo and is
smartly finished in chromium.
Cellophane hat stands are very
attractive as well as practical. These
are nicely bound in colored material
which will add brightness to your
closet. They come in sets of three
and are inexpensive.
Small flower holders made of clear
lucite in the form of a hand are
very graceful and can be placed
almost anywhere in the home.
These come in two sizes. the largest
having a capacity of about three
short-stemmed roses or jonquils. {. .
Attractive costume jewelry Is al
ways acceptable to the smart woman.
There are lovely necklaces Of all
types, including those of corn and
castor beans. gayly painted wooden
ones and delicately shaded shell
strands. Some have matching
bracelets to make beautiful acces-
sories for spring and summer
clothes. One very inexpensive and
extremely unusual necklace is made
Of five gayly painted wooden SOM
breroS dangling from a multi-col-
ored, plated cord.
Three-paneled screens may be
used almost anywhere in your home
Seen recently were beautiful plastic
ones decorated with a floral design
of bright colors. -.
A must" for all kitchens is a
new roasting rack. This is made Of
aluminium, can be easily dismantled
for storing and gives the same effect
as barbecuing equipment. Several
friends of ours have used them and
have found the idea quite satisfac-
tory. These are very inexpen-
Fine to have when baking pies is
a small aluminium vent. This Is
exceptionally good for juicy fruit
pies, as it prevents the juice from
running over the side OF the dish
and soiling your oven. 1t is no
trouble to use; simply place the vent
in the center of the pie plate .
A useful article for cutting meat,
cheese or bread is an adjustable
cutting board. This Is equipped
with metal side pieces which are
used as guides for slicing. Though
each slice can be made different
size, they are all evenly cut :.
A choice selection of lovely an
tiques Is to be found in q local store.
For example, there are several old
fashioned decanters made of hand
blown glass and decorated with an
eagle design. Then there are lovely
wall plates, some made Of Holland
and English china and another Of
Austrian porcelain. These are all
beautifully colored and the last Is
