Modification of Justice Van Orsdel's plan to provide for Saturday after- noon work is expected to be agreed upon this week by representatives of the locals of the International Printing Pressmen’s and Assistant’s Union and the Typothetae of Ameri who were concerned in the arbitration settle- ment.

Millions of people should watch this trick little pla today, Mr. Grover explains, and on March 21, “when the planet moves directly toward the earth, followed by some more damaging storms, and March 31, when it withdraws Its force from the earth, followed by some more damaging storms.” In fact, this diminutive member of the solar system cannot make a move of any appreciable moment without precipitating some more damaging weather for somebody, it seems, The Star thought it was only fair to advise TForecaster Weightman about this and accordingly called the Weather Bureau right up. Mr. Welghtman was out at the time, but Senfor Forecaster Mitchell answered the telephone. He absolutely refused, however, to alter Mr. Weightman's prognostication for today, declding to let the whole blame rest on his asso- ciate if the damaging Wintry weather developed as Mr. Grover prophesied. Personally, however, he bets that Welghtman's forecast will knock Grover's for a row of sun spots, Mer- cuw and all the other planets not- withstanding.
