WASHINGTON. D. C., SATURDAY, AUGUST WEATHER A FACTOR INBUSINESS WORLD Babson Discusses ‘“Long- Distance” Forecasting as Demonstrated by Experts. BY ROGER BABSON. BABSON PARK, Mass.. August 8. - A conference of weather experts has been held at the Babson Institute with special veference 1o long-dis- tance weather forecasting. This conference brought out some very interesting facts, which Mr. Babson summarizes as follows: “One of the chief items of interest in every daily paper is the weather forecast. This usually is on the first page and very often in the upper corner, thus giving 1i a prominent position. The daily forecasting of the weather has been in existence many yvears. In the early days the weather man was a joke and the weather forecast served to amuse people as do now the funny pictures. Gradually this service improved, and today it is fairly reliable. Of course, there, 1 de- § | the most widespread use is in con- nection with pleasure, travel, etc. If we are invited to a picnic, have an appointment for playing golf, or are interested in some outdoor fete, we nk N.

The retail trade has two great handicaps today.
