L. C.| Crook presided. The various departments of the association were discussed, includ- | ing the night school for men, boys’ night | &chool, camera club, gymnasium, league games, reading-room, library, member- ship and evangelistic work. The membership has Increased until it is now larger than at any time in the his- tory of the association, the total mem- bership at the main_ building being 1426, It was the purpose of the meeting to dis- cuss means to increase this number and to assist in shaping the policy of the work during the present year. The points brmlf t out most prominently were a de- | termination to increase the night schcol | facilitles, the fellowship of the members, | increase of membership and to pay the | bullding indebtedness, and to bring more | prominently before the public the splen- | did facilities of the camera club depart- | ment, which quarters were recently fitted | up on the fourth floor of the bullding. he forty-seventh anniversary of the lo- cal association will be observed at the as- sociation auditorium a week from next | unday afternoon, and will be free to the public. The anniversary eddress will be | McAdie Will Go South to Study the Phenomena. | Forecast Official McAdle will leave for | the southern part of the State within the | next few days for the purpose of study- | ing closely the conditions which bring about the disastrous frosts which occur in that section. The frost map which Mr. McAdie has been publishing has been distributed largelv among the orange growers in Southern California and they are finding it of much practical value, The data which he expects to gather on his groposed trip will be used in elaborat- ing his map and it is probable that before | the next harvesting the fruit and grain growers of the State will have even more | to thank Mr. McAdie for than they have | at present. Laws are now prepared for the con- sideration of Congress which will tly facilitate the work of the weather bureay Pmed the California of- fice will find little trouble in maintainin, its prestige as the best conducted weather bureau west of the Mississippi.
