ON GOOD WILL VISITS| Duty Is Fascinating. “In March, 1925, my father con- tracted a heavy cold while taking ob- servations in bad weather in Cape May. After his death, Mr. Bliss of Philadelphia came down to look over the instruments and find a suitable applicant for the position. At the rime I was not free to take it, so he ve Karl a few lessons and later pro- red him the appointment. Karl kept the records for a year, but wanted to do something else this year, s0 as I wanted the job, I wrote Mr. Bliss again. I guess that explains me, doesn’t it? fou know, there's something quite (ascinating in the realization that so many people depend on you for weather reports,” continued Miss Dor- man as she led the way to the rear of the yard, where stands her observa- tory. Climbing the steps, she opened the side of the wooden structurs and displayed an array of thermometers, Explains Her Work. “I read the maximpum thermometer, the minimum and the two etposed thermometers, from which I figure the dew point and the humidity, and at the end of the week I remove the chart of this thermograph, which re cords the daily temperature. Then I also measure the rainfall and observe the clouds every two hours. I used to observe the winds, too, from my weather vane up there (she pointed to the top of the house), “but I am not required to do that any more. “The weather forecast from Wash. ington comes in at 11 am. by tele- graph. This 1 copy, adding my own local observations, and then deliver 19 copies to hotels, fishing plers, the post oftice and local points around here and mall the rest to 54 surrounding local- ities in New Jersey. At 8:20 p.m. I toke more observations and telegraph in code to Philadelphia. I also report the fogs and thunderstorms. At the end of the month I send a report to Washington. - Grant Queerest Requests. “You know,” reminisced Miss Dor- man, “we grant the queerest requests to people here. My father often had o look back 20 years to find out the weather for the particular date, The people never give any specific reason as to why they want to know that. 1dle curiosity, I suppose. Then pros- pective residents come in and ask con- fidentially how the weather in Win- ter is down here. I really am a great help to the real estate business in that capacity, for I always boost Cape May. Sometimes I have to decide for would-be picnickers whether or not the duy is propitious. Oh, I must show you my new barometer,” she broke off, and in her office she displayed it \vn’h the pride of the craftsman in his tools. “My Instruments belong to the Gov- ernment,” she added. “We got new ones after father dled. Miss Dorman scarcely looks her 20 years, She is of medium height, slim, with fair curly bobbed hair, blue eyes and a generous supply of tiny freck- les. She received the major part of her education at St. Mary's School, Cape May, where she was graduated in 1523, She admits to keeping house in her spare time, but says that “mother does the cooking.” —_—— Long Hair Proves Fatal. BERLIN, July 23 (#).—Her long hair proved a fatal conductor of elec- tricity to Gretchen Schaefer, a young Students of Each Country Are| Guests of Families in Other. By the Associated Press. i BERLIN, July 23.—Eighty boys and girls of high school age, all from fam- | ilies of modest means, have left for || France to spend their vacation as guests of French familles having boys or girls of the same age. In return, 80 French boys and girls will come to | ‘§; these German families five weeks later for a stay of equal length. H The project for this novel exchange of students was managed by the League of Human Rights, an inter- national pacifist organization. The league feels that if Frenchmen and Germans of the generation now grow- ing up learn to know each other bet- ter, the talk about the *traditional }: Franco-German enmity"” will be bound to_die out. Both the German and the French governments showed their sympathy || for the scheme by granting free visas and greatly reduced railway faves. Teachers accompanied the students as far as Paris, where the German em- bassy took them in charge and saw to it that they reached their final desti- nation safely. | Hobo Repays Kindness. MARSHFIELD, Ore., July 23 (#).— A letter has come to Mrs. Sarah Haughton of Myrtle Point informing her that 24 years ago, when the writer ‘was passing her home afoot and tired, she gave him some sandwiches.
