HATTERAS WETTEST PLACE N COUNTRY Country Not o Wet Last Year as It Usually Is Washington, March 23.~~The coun- try was not #o wet last year as it normally is, Philadelphla was the dryest it has been in 100 years, Com- pllations of the weather bureau show that 96 of the 175 reporting stations had less rainfall than normally. Hat- teras, N. C, was the wettest spot while Yuma, Ariz, was the dryest.) - Mobile, Ala, was a close second for the wettest place and EI Paso, Tex, , took second position as dryest. From the Mississippl vajley east- wird, the amounts of precipitation ranged generally from about 80 inches in the upper lake region to between 80 and 60 inches in most of the Guif coast states, although slightly less than 80 inches of precipitation fell in much of Pennsylvania. Between the Mississippl river and the Rocky nlountains, the amounts varied from slightly more than 12 inches at Havre, Mont. ,to about 60 inches in south- eastern Tezas. Less than 10 Inches were reported in most of the south- ern Rocky mountain districts and the far southwest. On the Pacific coast precipitation varied from about 60 inches in extreme northwestern Wash- ingten to a little more than nine :chn in extreme southern Califor- a, The outstanding features of preeipi- tation during the year compared with || the normal 'were the large deficiencies in amount in the far northwest, es- peclally in western Washington, and also In the area from central: Color- ado southward. Tacoma, Wash., ré- ceived but little more than half the normal annual rainfall, while in ex- treme western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, less than half the annual amount was received. ¢There was a general deficiency ‘also in the central northern states from the western up- per lake region westward to the Rocky mountains, except at a few points in Montana and North Dakota. Less than the normal amount was recorded very generally from western Tennessee, Arkansas and Missouri northwestward over the Ohio valley and lake region. The year was un- precedentedly dry in portions of Penn- sylvania, Compared with the normal, the amounts were unevenly distribut- ed in New York and New England. In the Atlantic coast states from Vir- ginia southward and also in the Guilf(} states more than the normal amount of precipitatiorn fell as a rule. There was more than the normal amount also in north-centtal Texas, southeast- orn Kansas, central and western South Dakota, extreme northwestern North Dakota, southeastern Montana, the northern portions of Utah and Nevada, and in much of the central portion of California. Y EDGAR THOMPSON WORKS - GETS CARNEGIE TROPHY DBranch of the Carnegie Steel Co. Highest in Accident Pre- vention. Pittsburgh, March 23.—The Edgar Thompson Works, of the Carnegie Steel company, has been awarded the company's 1922 safety trophy for ac- cfdent prevention, it has been an- nounced. The trophy, a handsome bronze, has been removed to the plant in Braddock, a suburb, and will remain there until some other unit of the organization shows a better record. The victory is the more appreciated by Edgar Thomson men inasmuch as they have always held the lgad in safety in the company, and under thé 1922 rules they were compelled to thow a larger percentage of im- provement over their own record than any other plant. The figures show the Edgar Thom- son Works to be the safest iron and steel industry in the country, if not in the world, This conclusion is reached by safety experts through comparison with figures contained in a 'federal government report which gives the average fatality rate in 1656 gteel plants as 1.86 per thousand an- nually. At Edgar Thomson this was cut to four-tenths of one fatality per thousand annually. Edgar Thomson also points to a record in lost time accident. The federal figures for ,155 plants show 240.6 per thousand per year. At Edgar Thomson the figures show 7.8 per thousand per year. These results, safety experts de- clared, were brought about by wide- spread safety propaganda, the edu- cation of workmen in the mill and furnaces and the safeguarding of every danger discovered in the plant. WOULD PROTECT TREES China Has Carc of Millions of Them in Leased Territory j— Germans Planted Them. Tsingtao, March 23.—Restoration of Kiaochow leased territory to China by Japan has given the Chinese de- partment of agriculture a new task in the preservation of milllons of trees planted by the Germans during their occupation. Even in the recent per- fod of transition, when Japanese vigils ance became relaxed the Chincse population of the territory began cutting trees. Up to that time the Japanese had protected trees and shrubs with the utmost rigidity—so much so that anyone tearing a root from the ground without authoriza- tion was subject to severe penalty. The department of agriculture is alive to the danger threatening groves and forests in the restored area and is taking steps toward conservation; but fear is felt even by representa. tives of that ministry that the meas- ure possible in the present financial state of the government will be in- adequate to stem the denuding of the territory.
