FOOD CONSERVATION
SHOOED BE DELAYED
NO LONMLSON
President in Letter-to Hoover,
Calls Attention to Approach
ing Harvests—Urges Wom
en to Co-operate
WASHINGTON. June - IS.—National
mobilization of the volunteer food con
trol forces of the country must not wait
further on congress. Ih-esident Wilson
declared in a letter tonight to Herbert
Hoover.
Realizing that it probably may be
necessary to depend on patriotism and
public opinion alone instead of con
gressional action to back Mr. Hoover,
during the early harvests, the presi
dent writes that the situation "admits
of no further delay.”
The president’s letter follows:
My I'ear Mr. Hoover: It seems
to me that the inauguration of
that portion of the plan for food
administration which contemplates
a national mobilization of the great
voluntary forces of the country
which are ready to work towards
saving food and eliminating waste
admits of no further delay.
The approaching harvesting, the
immediate necessity of wise use and
saving not only in food but in all
other expenditures, the many un
directed and overlapping efforts
being made towards this end, all
press for national direction and in
spiration. While it would in many
ways be desirable to complete leg
islation establishing the food ad
ministration. it appears to me that
so far as voluntary effort can be
assembled, we should not wait any
longer, and therefore I would be
very glad if you would proceed in
those directions at once.
The women of the nation are al
ready earnestly seeking to do their
part in this, our greatest struggle
for the maintenance of our national
ideals, and in no direction can they
so greatly assist us as by enlist
ing in the service of the food ad
ministration and cheerfully accept
ing its direction and advice. By so
doing they will increase the surplus
of food available for our own army
and for the export to the allies. To
provide adequate supplies for the
coming year is of absolute vital im
portance to the conduct of the war.
and without a very conscientious
elimination of and very strict
economy in our'food consumption,
we cannot hope to fulfill this pri
mary duty.
I trust therefore that the women
of the country will not only respond
to your appeal and accept the
pledge to the food administration
which.you are proposing, but that
all men also who are engaged in
the personal distribution of foods
will co-operate with the same ear
nestness and in the same spirit I
give you full authority to undertake
any steps-necessary for the proper
organization and stimulation of
their efforts.
SENATOR HARDWICK’S OBJECTION.
The food situation must be in hand
before America’s army can go into the
field.” is the governmc”' contention.
"Families must not robbed by
high prices while father.' .. e fighting.”
is the order. “Labor must be content
or the whole military establishment
will crumble."
As a result, while preparations go
forward toward selecting the first of
450.000 of America's citizen army, the
president and his officials are center
ing their drive on food control.
The bill will come.up in the house
Monday. At the same time Senator
Gore, chairman of the senate agricul
tural committee, will recommend that
it be made the business of the day in
the senate Being out of sympathy
with its provisions, he will then turn
the measure over to Senator Chamber
lain for guidance through the upper
branch.
There will be a fight on it at once—
along two lines.
First. Senator Hardwick. Georgia, will
contend that the senate should not take
it up until after the house has acted on
it because It is an appropriation meas
.re authorizing $152,000,000 for admin
istering food control.
Secondly, opponents will try to force
it back into committee. It now carries
no report and no recommendation and
the demand will be made that the ogri
culture committee put it into definite
shape before the senate begins.lts strug
gle.
Owing to the divergence of opinion on
certain phases of the bill it Is probable
President Wilson will be called upon
soon to define exactly what portions he
thinks are vital at this time. There is
no opposition either to provisions for a
common purchasing agent for all the al
lies or for legislation designed to pre
vent hoarding of necessaries. There Is
little opposition to minimum price fix
ing
But the bill as it stands is so compre
hensive—including control of feed, fuel
and clothing as well as foodstuffs—that
there must be modification by executive
sanction or it can never be pressed to
passage before July 1.
To clear the way for the struggle, the
senate passed the administration prefer

AMERICA READY
TO PAY THE COST,
LANSING STATES
“We Have Cast Our Lot,”
Secretary Says at Princeton
Commencement, Where De
grees Are Conferred
PRINCETON. N. J.. June 16. —America
has counted the cost in entering the
war and is ready to pay the price, no
matter how great the sacrifice, to se
cure world triumph of democracy over
absolutism and the crushing of Prussian
despotism. Secretary of State Lansing
said today at the one hundred seventieth
commencement of Princeton university,
at which Mr. Lansing was one of those
upon whom the honorary degree of doc
tor of laws was conferred, including
ambassadors and ministers of the al
lied countries at war with Germany,
Herbert C. Hoover and others, as a part
of a patriotic demonstration on the steps
of historic Nassau hall.
“We have cast our lot with the brave
nations which are fighting for democra
cy." he said. "We have taken up the
sword and will not lay It down until
Prussian despotism has yielded to the
united democracies of the world, and
the liberty of America with Europe and
Asia is made sure for all time.”
M. Jusserand. French ambassador to
the United States, who also received a
degree, who acted as spokesman for the
allied diplomats, in acknowledging the
honor, said the French people had been
revived by the action of America.
"We have faith in omens,” he said,
"and we remember that America has
never lost a war.”
War conditions cut deep into the pro
gram and many degrees were conferred
in absentia as the recipients are in train
ing camps or already in war service
abroad. Seniors who obtained furloughs
were in miltary uniform when they re
ceived their degrees, conferred in Alex
ander hall.
Secretary Lansing said in part:
"This war in which we are engaged
is a war for democracy. It is a war of
free, self-governing peoples against the
despotic rulers of Germany who want to
enslave the world as they have enslaved
their own people and their unfortunate
allies. The Imperial German govern
ment is possessed and has long been
possessed by the lust of world dominion.
"We have taken up the sword and,
with God’s help, we will not lay it down
until Prussian despotism has yielded to
the united democracies of the world, and
the liberty of Europe, the liberty of
America, the liberty of Asia is made
sure for aIL time. No sacrifice is too
great to accomplish this great purpose.
We entered the war deliberately. We
have counted the cost, and we are ready
to pay the price. There can be but one
end to this titanic struggle, the triumph
of democracy over absolutism.
STAKE IS FREEDOM.
“One hundred and forty years ago
American freedom was at stake. Today
the stake is the freedom of the world. As
we won then, so will we win now. It
cannot be otherwise, for the peoples who
love liberty have determined that in the
years to come justice and righteousness
shall be supreme on earth.”
Ambassador Jusserand said in part:
“In behalf of my colleagues, all of us
’representing countries where the allies
pf the United States are fighting for
liberty against depotism- This honor is
particularly dear to our hearts, coming
from this illustrious and historical uni
versity of Princeton, one of the oldest,
one of the greatest, one of the most fa
mous. whose very life is a sort of em
blem and part of the life of your great
country. Its splendid present promises
an euen more splendid future, and its
past is dotted with famous names in
American history. You have Woodrow
Wilson, whose day has now come, and
who in his turn has pronounced words
which have been heard around the
world.
"France you honor not because of me,
but because of the battle of the Marne,
Verdun and Joffre, and England be
cause of Bagdad. Vimy Ridge and Ypres,
and only yesterday of Messines; Italy
for Carso and Trentino; Japan for Kiau-
Chiau and Portugal, who has entered
the war and will risk everything and
join in the fight for liberty.
"We are in this war, we shall con
tinue until the end. We did not lose so
many of our kin not to continue it until
the enemy is vanquished. We fight that
nations, large and small, may be given
a free government. We fight in order
that the* world in the future will not
know the sufferings of Poland, Bohemia
or Syria or Alsace-Lorraine suffering
under the heat of a hated enemy, that
such things may exist no more.
"The best proof of the future is the
past. We accept the omen, America has
never lost a war."
Men Too Young for
Army Will Serve as
Workers on Munitions
WASHINGTON. June 16.—Men too
young for the army will do their bit in
the war by serving as munitions inspec
tors and technical experts, according to
plans being worked out today by Sec
retary of Commerce Redfield.
He sent a letter to President Wilson
today urging that all vocational schools
in the United States be kept open con
tinuously to train these youths for war
service. Men who are engaged in fac
tories would also be given an oppor
tunity to attend these schools during the
summer.
The suggestion was made by James

ROOT'S MESSAGE TD
RUSSIA IS RECEIVED
WITH ENTHUSIASM
“Russian People Consider War
Inevitable and Will Continue
It,” Foreign Minister De
clares in Speech
PETROGRAD, June 16, Via London,
June 17.—A stirring proclamation plac
ing the Council of Workmen’s and Sol
diers' delegates on record as irrevo
cably opposed to a separate peace was
adopted today by the council. The
proclamation was prompted by Austrian
efforts to lure Russia into a separate
peace.
PETROGRAD, June 15, Via London,
June 16.—“ The Russian people consider
war inevitable and will continue it. The
Russians have no imperalistic wishes.
We know that you have none. We shall
fight together to secure liberty, freedom
and happiness for all the world. I
am happy to say that I do not see any
moral idea or factor between America
and Russia to divide us. We two peo
ples—Russia fighting tyranny, and
America standing as the oldest democ
racy—hand in hand will show the way
of happiness to nations great and
small."
These ringing words, expressing the
attitude of the Russian government to
ward America and the American mis
sion headed by Elihu Root, were voic
ed tonight by M. Tereschtenko, minister
of foreign affairs, responding for the
council of ministers to Mr. Root’s ad
dress of sympathy and good will on the
part of the American government.
American ambassador Francis pre
sented the Root mission, explaining
that it had come to Russia to discover
how America can best co-operate with
its ally in forwarding the fight against
!he common enemy. The presentation
was very Informal, only a few Russian
officials and the members of the Amer
ican embassy attending. M. Kerensky,
the youthful minister of war. just back
from the front, wore the khaki blouse
of a common soldier.
The ministers listened with rapt at
tention to Mr. Root’s address, which
was an impressive utterance, both In
substance and manner.
M. Tereschtenko rose from a sick bed
to attend the presentation and respond
ed without notes, expressing great joy
in welcoming the commission from
America. He said that Russia's rev-«
olution was based on the wonderful
words uttered by America in 1776. He
read part of the declaration of inde
pendence and exclaimed: “Russia holds
with the United States that all men are
created free and equal.”
M. Tereschtenko sketched the history
of the Russian revolution briefly, say
ing that the Russians, enslaved for
centuries, threw all the old order just
as the wind blows autumn leaves from
the forest. Russia now faces two prob
lems, said the minister, the necessity
of creating a strong democratic force
within its boundaries and the fighting
of an external foe. Then he declared
for war and expressed unbounded con
fidence in the power of Russia to meet
the situation.
ROOT’S SPEECH.
Mr. Root spoke as follows:
Mr. President and Members of
the Council of Ministers:
The mission for which I have the
honor to speak is charged by the
government and people of the United
States of America with a message
to the government and people of
Russia. The mission comes from
u democratic republic. Its mem
bers are comissioned and instruct
ed by a president who holds his
high office as chief executive of
more than one hundred million free
people by virtue of popular elec
tion, in which more than eighteen
million votes were freely cast, and
fairly counted pursuant to law, by
universal, equal, direct and secret
suffrage.
For one hundred and forty years
our people have been struggling
with the hard problems of self
government. With many shortcom
ings. many mistakes, many imperfec
tions, we still have maintained or
der and respect for law, individual
freedom and national independence.
Under the security of our own laws
we have grown in strength and
prosperity. But we value our free
dom more than wealth. We love
liberty and we cherish above all
our possessions, the ideals for
which our fathers fought and suf
fered and that America
might be free.
We believe in the competence of
the power of democracy and in our
hearts abides faith in the coming
of a better world in which the hum
ble and oppressed of all lands may
be lifted up by freedom to a herit
age of justice and equal opportun
ity.
The news of Russia's new found
freedom brought to America uni
versal satisfaction and joy. From
all the land sympathy and hope
went out to the new sister in the
circle of democracies. And the
mission is sent to express that feel
ing.
SENDS A MESSAGE.
The American democracy sends
to the democracy of Russia a greet
ing of sympathy, friendship, broth
erhood, godspeed. Distant America
knows little of the special condi
tions of Russian life which must
give form to the government, and
laws which you are about to cre
ate. As we have developed our in
stitutions to serve the needs of
our national character and life, so,
we assume, you will develop your
institutions to serve the needs of
Russian character and life.
As we look across the sea we dis
tinguish no party, no class. We see
great Russia as a whole, as one
mighty, striving, aspiring democ
racy. We know the self-control, es
sential kindliness, strong common
sense, courage and noble idealism
of the Russian character. •
We have faith in you all. We pray
for God’s blessing upon you all. We
believe you will solve your prob
lems, that you will maintain your
liberty and that our two great na
tions will march side by side in the
triumphant progress of democracy
until the old order everywhere has
passed away and the world is free.
DANGER THREATENS NATIONS.
One fearful danger threatens the
liberty of both nations. The armed
forces of a military autocracy are
at the gates of Russia and the al
lies. The triumph of German arms
will mean the death of liberty in
Russia. No enemy Is at the gates
of America, but America has come
to realize that the triumph of Ger
man arms means ttje death of liber
ty in the world; that we who love
liberty and would keep it must
fight for it, and fight for it now
when the free democracies of the
world may be strong in union, and
not delay until they may be beaten
LITE UIRGESUBSGRiPTIONS
TO BONOS TO BE REJECTED
They Will Be Accepted Later.
SmaH Investors Get First
Allotments
WASHINGTON. June 16—So heavily
is the Liberty Loan oversubscribed that
those who made heavy investments in
it will receive only a portion of the
bonds for which they applied. The gov
ernment will not accept the money rep
resented by the surplus subscription
which amounts to nearly a billion dol
lars. This was the decision of Secre
tary McAdoo today.
Small subscriptions are not affected
by the ruling. The government will ex
pect those whose heavy subscriptions
are not accepted at this time to renew
them when the next war bond issue ia
opened.
Treasury officials estimated tonight
that definite totals would not be avail
able until Wednesday. No official to
tals whatever had been received from
any of the federal reserve districts to
night.
THANKS PAPERS.
McAdoo gave credit to the newspapers
for the loan’s great success, in a state
ment issued tonight. He said;
“The Liberty Loan campaign was es
sentially one of education and without
the generous and patriotic support of
the nation, the hope of those in charge
that it would be a popular loan would
not have been realized. The untiring ef
forts of the newspapers throughout the
campaign were a constant inspiration to
the various other groups of workers. At
a time when news space was at a pre
mium, the Liberty Loan was featured
at length.
"The foreign language press in thir
ty-six languages gave daily proox of
the undoubted loyalty of peoples of'for
eign birth.
“It was done without thought of re
turn, simply to aid the government I
shall be most grateful to the press If
this acknowledgement is given wide
publicity."
STATEMENT OF ALLOTMENTS.
In his statement upon the allotments
to be made, Secretary McAdoo said:
“I have asked the reserve banks to
tabulate separately and on supplmentary
lists the subscriptions received yester
day, June 15, after noon, in order that
I may be In a position to consider, in
making allotment of the two billion dol
lars of bonds, those applications which
through no fault of the subscriber were
not recorded on time.
"I shall avail myself of the right re
served in the circular offering the bonds,
to allot in full upon applications for
larger amounts, as such action- will be
clearly in the public interest.”
It is estimated that over 3,000,000
subscribers took up the loan. England’s
first loan of over $2,000,000,300 was tak
en by only 100,000 persons. Germany’s
first loan was taken by 1,177,235 people.
Only in those banks subscribing for
more than SIOO,OOO of bonds will the
funds raised by the loan be deposited.
However, banks may pool their sub
scriptions to total SIOO,OOO and thus re
ceive the funds.
down separately in succession.
So, America sends another mes
sage to Russia —that we are going
to fight, and have already begun to
fight for your freedom equally with
our own, and we ask you to tight for
our freedom equally with yours. We
would make our cause yours and
with a common purpose from an al
liance which would make sure of
victory over our common foe.
You will recognize your own sen
timents and purposes in the words
of President Wilson to the Ameri
can congress, when on the second of
April last he advised a declaration
of war against Germany. He said:
‘We are accepting this challenge
of hostile purpose because we know
that in such a government (the Ger
man government) following such
methods, we can never have a friend;
and that ip the presence of its or
ganized power, always lying in wait
to accomplish we know not what
purpose, there can be no assured se
curity for the democratic govern
ments of the world. We are now
about to accept the gage of battle
with this natural foe to liberty, and
shall, if necessary, spend «the whole
force of the nation to check and
nullify its pretensions and its pow
er. We are glad, now, that we see
the facts with no veil of false pre
tense about them, to fight thus for
the ultimate peace of the world
and for thq liberation of its peoples,
the German peoples included; for
the rights of nations, great and
small, and the privilege of men ev
erywhere to choose their way of life
and of obedience.
’The world must be made safe for
democracy. Its peace must be
planted upon the tested foundations
of political liberty. We have no
selfish ends to serve. We desire no
conquest, no dominion. We seek no
indemnities for ourselves, no ma
terial compensation for the sacri
fices we shall freely make. We are
but one of the champions of the
rights of mankind. We shall be
satisfied when* those rights have
been made as secure as the faith
and the freedom of nations can
make them.*
And you will see the feeling to
ward Russia with which America
has entered the great war in an
other clause of the same address.
President Wilson further declared:
"Does not every American feel
that assurance has been added to
our hope for the future peace of
the world by the wonderful and
heartening things that have been
happening within the last few
weeks in Russia? Russia was
known by those who knew her best
to have been always in fact demo
cratic at heart in all the vital hab
its of her thought. In all the inti
mate relationships of her people
that spoke their natural instinct,
their habitual attitude toward life.
“The autocracy that crowned the
summit of her political structure,
long as it had stood and terrible as
was the reality of Its power, was
not in fact Russian in origin, char
acter or purpose, and now it has
* been shaken off and the great, gen
erous Russian people have been »
added, in all their native majesty
and might, to the force that are
fighting for freedom in the world,
for justice and for peace. Here is
a fit partner for a league of honor.’
That partnership of honor in the
great struggle for human freedom
the oldest of the great democracies
now seeks in fraternal union with
the youngest. Practical and spe
cific methods and the possibilities
of our allies' co-operation, the mem
bers of the mission would be glad
to discuss with the members of the
government of Russia.”

BODY OF CRUGER
GIRL UNEARTHED
IN DINGY CELLAR
————
Ghastly Find Clears Up a
Baffling New York Mystery.
Ring Leads to Identification
of Decomposed Body
NEW YORK, June 16.—Discovery to
day of the body of 18-year-old Ruth
Cruger, the missing Wadleigh High
school student who had been murder
ed and then buried six feet under the
•cellar of a shop occupied by a bicycle
dealer who fled to Italy after she dis
appeared, cleared a mystery which had
baffled the police for months. The girl’s
skull had been crushed.
Miss Cruger’s parents identified the
body. The police late today took into
custody several persons who were ques
tioned closely.
The bicycle shop to which the girl
went to have her skates sharpened the
day she disappeared was conducted by
Alfredo Cocchi, who fled from New
York after the girl’s absence from
home was reported to the police. He
is now being held at Bologna, Italy,
and an effort will be made to extradite
him. Recently when detectives tried to
dig up the cellar in a search for the
body, Mrs. Cocchi refused to permit it.
Today after she had left the place, de
tectives entered and solved the mys
tery.
The finding of the body is due chiefly
the tireless work of Mrs. Grace
Humiston, attorney for the Cruger fam
ily. For the past week she had labor
ers excavating under the sidewalk in
front of the house, apparently convinc
ed that the body would be found. A
silk shirtwaist, a corset cover and a
glove were found several days ago as
a result of the digging but these could
not be identified as belonging to Miss
Cruger.
Today when detectives entered the
cellar and resumed the search over
ground covered months ago, their at
tention was attracted by Cocchi’s large
work bench, resting against the wall
at the extreme end pf the cellar. They
moved the bench and walking over the
spot their heels struck boards through
a thin covering of earth. The detec
tives cleared away the earth and found
a wooden floor which they tore up and
the form of the dead girl was disclos
ed. A towel had been fastened around
her neck and her body had been bound
with ropes.
On being told by Mrs. Humiston that
a girl’s body had been dug up in Coc
chi’s cellar, the father still skeptical,
hurried to the squalid neighborhood of
the repair shop, a few blocks across
town from upper Riverside drive.
Police opened the way for Cruger to
enter the shop on his arrival. The crowd
stepped back but the man hesitated
stopped.
"I do not want to go in, he said.
"Send some one to tell me about it.”
He stood in the street, staring at the
garish red sign on the glass basement
window.
Police Inspector Cray came out from
beside the body lying on the cellar floor
and described it in detail to Cruger, who
made no sign until the inspector men
tioned the character of the clothing, the
watch and the Wadleigh High school
ring found on the left little finger.
"Oh. my God! That’s my daughter.”
he exclaimed as the inspector stopped.
He started forward, reeled and would
have collapsed had not the Inspector
caught him.
After he recovered, he would not
look at the body and was taken home,
where the girl’s mother waited.
Singularly enough, John Spittle, the
man who saw Cocchi coming out of the
cellar shop about midnight of the day
the Cruger girl disappeared was the man
Who unearthed her body today. Ihe
suspicion that the girl was buried be
neath the shop has always been strong
in his mind, he said.
Discovery of the body was accidental.
Police and priavte detectives had search
ed every foot of the cellar over and
over. They had dug it up in man!
places.
It remained for Inspector Cray to push
the two chests out of the way and dis
cover that the concrete flooring had
been disturbed.
Immediately upon being notified of the
And, District Attorney Swann said ev
ery effort would be made to have Cocchi
returned to this country.

MILLIONAIRE COP
IN DETROIT HEADS
BIG VICE CRUSADE
Worth About $50,000,000,
James Corezeus Now Will
Fight Underworld and Graft
ing Politicians
by h. f. bubtox.
DETROIT. Mich.. June 16.—Jas. Cou
zens, 44, worth about $50,000,006, and
credited with being the richest man in
Detroit with the exception of Henry
Ford, is just beginning his real life, he
says. Helping Ford create and develop
his gigantic automobile business he
considers child's play In comparison
with his new job, police commissioner
ship of Detroit.
Now he has the underworld to fight,
the grafting politicians and with these
the courts. For Jim Couzens is on trial
for contempt. The outcome may mean
success or failure to his campaign for a
clean city.
“My short experience in this job has
already taught me one big truth," Cou
zens told me: "The wisest thing the
Almighty ever did was to keep men
from having too much foresight. If I
had even half guessed what this job of
’cleaning up Detroit* was to be before
I got into it. believe me, I would still
be doing something simple—like or
ganizing a bank, or running a factory,
or just making money!
“But this job! Why, it’s going to be
nothing more nor less than trying to
pry out the whole secret of humanity
—to find out why wrong is in the
world, and If it can be checked by well
intentioned forces, and HOW.
“Detroit has grown in the last decade
almost unbelievably. Cheap music
halls, saloons and dens of various kinds
have sprung up until we really had
here a huge mining camp for a city.
The amount of patronage these low
places got was appalling.
“Something had to be done. I made
up my mind that although human na
ture could not be changed, it could be
largely kept from bad influences. The
law was with me.
“Street walking was stopped at once.
Music and drinking was forbidden in
the houses. Rigid systems of medical
examinations were instituted.
“In this way we could limit the
growth of the tenderloin. We could
also find out whic hglrls wanted to get
out of the life, and help them do so.
"So far it was easy. But putting the
method into practice I soon learned,
was a far different matter. As in a
single movement the entire underworld
clicked together for defense. And every
crooked politician began his secret wire
pulling.
“I have begun the first real fight of
my life. For the firzt time in my life,
I am dealing in those mysterious, dyna
mic elements that makeup humanity.
For every move I make I must expect
a blow in return. But through it I am
going to find out what life really is!”
So Jim Couzins, the fifty-mllllon-dol
lar chief of police followed ths trail of
vice right into the courts, defied a
judge’sr ullng, was thrown into jail and
now must stand trial.
"Jim Couzens is one of those lovable
fools who move the world a little far
ther on to something better,” said a
prominent Detroit citizen. "Most of us
give him credit for the famous welfare
plan andflve-dollar-a-day wage scale in
Henry Ford’s plant. All the jails in
Michigan may yawn at him: he will
never stop. He loves a principle more
than Rockefeller loves a dollar!”
DO you ever “cuss” the Weather Man? You wouldn’t if you
knew that 4 times out of 5 his predictions are right.
And a group of the brainiest scientists in the world are working
day and night to make them right 5 times out of 5. < I
Shippers of merchandise would spend millions a year to get the
information which the Weather Bureau furnishes for nothing.
Mariners virtually confide their lives and property to the keeping
of the Weather Bureau.
Farmers from’Maine to California depend upon it for warning
and advice. • .
In efficiency, progressiveness and usefulness, your Weather
Bureau is head and shoulders above the Weather Bureaus of other
nations. t
The American Government
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN
A Book That Shows Uncle Sam at Work
gives some facts concerning your Weather Bureau that are eye
openers.
Read about one prediction which saved $15,000,000 worth of
property and many human lives. About another forecast, covering
a small section, which saved SIOO,OOO worth of property in a few
hours.
About the thermometer which will measure the heat of a candle
5 miles away. About the tiny pen suspended by a woman’s hair,
which registers the minutest atmospheric changes.
The chapter on the Weather Bureau, like the entire book, is as*
entertaining as a novel, yet is absolutely accurate in its facts.
Every branch of your Government is packed with interest for the
man with the eye to see it. Mr. Haskin has the eye, and what is
better, the ability to write as he sees. You haven’t read a book in
a year, not even barring “best sellers,” that held your interest as
this book will.
