The regulation states that no perial shall be less than seven feet Bbove the roof and the sole purpose the rule is to remove the danger of firemen tripping over the wires #nd being thrown to the ground when sighting fires. Seib put the question wup to the individual resident in this statement: “If your homa catches fire you will want the firemen to check the blaze as quick possible and save your property. Do not make the job harder by stringing a wire so low that fire- men would be in danger on the roof.” The fire department is having most ©f its trouble with lurge apartment houses, where there are u number of separate aerials on the rooftops.

The plane was equipped with three 150-horsepower motors, two at the front and one at the rear. It took four hours to cover the distance over the Mediterrian from Sicily to North Africa. The flight was rendered especially difficult by the varintions in tempera- ture between the points of departure and arrival and by the treacherous aerial current of the southern Medi- terranian.

Radio is to play an ever-increas- ing part in weather forcasting, ac- cording to Maj). Edward H. Bowle, the “weather man,” who has made more than 150,000 dally forecasts since coming to Washington In 1909, Maj. Bowle will leave his position as supervising forecaster at .the weather bureau here June § to go to San Francisco, to take charge of the Pacific division of the bureau, com- prising California, Washington, Ore- gon, Idaho and Nevada. In the important work which he will take up there radio is to have a large part, Maj. Bowie belleves. He visions a time in meteorological work when observations collected from land and water by radio will furnish the basis of calculations, not only for this, but all countries. ‘When that day comes. the public will be so educated in the science of true weather lore that it will be able to construct dally its own weather maps from the ant data made avallable by the weather bureau, and secured by it largely by radio re- ports. Must Educate Oltisens. “It is our duty to educate the people to a correct understanding of me- teorology,” Maj. Bowle sald, pointing out the extent to.which the world has been humbugged n the past by false weather prophe The moon, e sald, despite the faith of thousands of farmers, has no effect on our- weather. Perhaps sun spots have, perhaps not; certainly nothing has been proved as yet, he continued. While meteorology will never be an exact science, because of the vast pfii of ohmnufe forces, it remains a luclnnlni subject just because of that reason, he s there always be- ing something to look forward to. SWeather ~ forecasting has rmade ndous strides of recent years, Bowle feels,i as he looks back ars, on the eve of leaving Wi . 'The bureau has more dally information to work on and the predictions are less general, more ive, than in the old days, he ve. .‘i: this fleld radio {s destined to play its part because of the tre- mendous sweep of broadcasting, its speed of light and the immense dis- tances which can be quickly as short ones. It is because of this that he looks forward to taking up his work on the Pacific coast. This region, in- cluding the vast Pacific Ocean, is looked upon by meteorologists as per- haps the most Important in forecast work for the United States, as most of the storms come from the west. The Pacific district gets reports deily from the fine weather bureau statlon in the Philippines and is thus able to know of oncoming storms which perhaps days later will be sweeping the Atlantic states. Maj. Bowle foresees the day when com- plete international co-operation the science of man's unde of weather will bring abou: perfect forecasting, : Speed Up Reports. n this international co-o; already begun, although nnp:r:::::n scale, the wonders of radio will help even as they are enabling the weather bureau to get quicker and better re- orts of weather TR conditions in the “Of all the sclences mateorolo, 1 the most dependent upon 1,“53,,; '!llonll co-operation,” Maj. Bowie said, ‘When ' the governments of the ‘world declde to live In the world amicably together perhaps then they will be. & in rnest the co-operation in Wweather information, which will place at the disposal of each nation's fore- casters the information which will _ covered as t more i I MAJ. be necessary for as near perfect prognostication as men may be capu- ble_ of. For there is nothing smacking of magic about weather forecasting. In- deed, one of its underlying aims is to relisve the minds of men of super- stitions such as incumber the so- called “weather lore” of the “world, and make farmers et up at all hours to plant their potatoes according to some obscure rhyme about the “dark of the moon.” Observations Vital, Ob vations — obgervations—more bservutions. Those words spell weather forecasting” as it is done today in the weather buréau of this and " other countries. Ma). Bowl knows, and all other forecasters fecl, that if it were possible to gather enpugh and perfect” enough observu- tions, from every point of the world, and give them the “once ove s central point, it would be possible | to make a perfect weather forecast The only trouble is that it would a bureau three weeks to digest th; by the ti to make its forecast the day would have been long gone by Yet that Is the ideal toward which international co-operation in weather | matters looks, with the realization that there will never be such a re- ductlo ad absurdum as instanced Maj.

His predictions have been upon the first page dafly of almost every newspaper in the United States, and during that time newspaper men have found an unfafling friend i the supervising forecaster.
