Some at City "Fed." Meeting to De
scribe Bridge Crush Horrors.
Mrs. Robert Francis CartwTight took a delega
tion of working girls to the convention of the City
Federation of Women's Club yesterday morning
to testify to the insults they have to endure in
the bridge crush, but the subject was reached at
Fuch a late hour that they had to return to their
■work before giving their experience. Mrs. Cart
wright, however, spoke eloquently In their behalf.
"I couldn't tell you the stories I have heard of
indignities suffered by women on the bridge," she
paid. "A girl really takes her life and her reputa
tion In her sands when she crosses It In the rush
hours. I know one who had to take out her hat
pin and use it before her tormenters would desist.
I asked some of them why they did not make
charges against those who annoyed them, but they
paid they dare>d not because the consequent pub
licity would cost them their positions."
Mrs. Cartwright thought that the use of esca
lators at the bridge would remedy this evil. She
•aid the police had told her (hat the escalators
•would make their work much easier.
The federation passed a resolution indorsing the
plan, and most of the members signed Individually
a petition to the Mayor asking that the escalators
b«* Installed.
"I have resigned from all my New York clubs
since I went to live in Brooklyn," said a delegate
from that borough, as she added her name to the
roll of petitioners. "I would have been willing
to risk the bridge crush myself, but my husband
•wouldn't hear of It."
At the afternoon session the women teachers of
the public schools renewed th?ir warfare over the
"White, bill for the equalization of salaries, now
under consideration by the Mayer. Mrs. Edward
Mandel spoke for the disaffected primary teach
ers, and was supported by Mrs. Silas P. Leveridge,
chairman of one of the local school boards and
th* Interboroußh Awcclation was represented by
Its president and treasurer. Mrs. X. Curtis Leni'
hen and Mrs. Ellen O'Brien, and the chairman of
the executive committee. torn Grace Straduui.
Mrs. ..landel. who is the wife of a principal and
not a teacher, said she was a member of the Inter
borough Association. Miss O'Brien retorted that
this was Impossible, as only teachers could belong
to that body.
"I have no knowledge of this opposition, offi
cially or financially," she declared.
Th« statement was received with a storm of
hisses, and Miss O'Brien hast-ned to explain that
ehe meant no reflection on Mrs. MandeL Both
sices went into financial details that the audience
«dn t understand, but it was evident from the be
ginning: that the day was with the Interboroughs.
•SMI when Miss Strachan rose to speak the ap-
Mr, US WnM S *V One and S ° IOUd that tlic Prudent.
Mrs. William Cummlng Story, h ad to rap for order

After this was disposed of m™ *>„, , ,
than suggested that they hay a Xa -
Pe.ce and arbitration. " MnHalt *~ on
wn!,M th mi '" f he Sald '" " that puch a committee
would find a large field for activity In the clubs."
The laughter of the audience showed that the
delegates considered the appointment of such a
committee singularly apropos, but it was not Mrs
Nathan's Intention that it should devote itself to
the settlement of club rows. It was decided that
such a committee should be appointed.
Mrs. Stoddard Hammond, president of the State
&**■"■■• ? nd , Mra. William Lindsay. nonorary
vice-president of he Daughters of the American
Resolution, were guests of honor, and the after
noon session began with the presentation of golden
sunflowers to the two honorary presidents of the
rttyj federation. Mrs. Belle' de - Rivera and Mrs.
I>ore Lyon. the latter being represented in her ab
sence by Miss Florence Guernsey.
The place of meetieg was made beautiful by a
display of window boxes arranged as an object
lesson by Mr*. Bdward H. Hall, of the Municipal
Art Society, and the president's white lace Em
pire gown and blue picture hat seemed Just what
was needed to complete the picture.
CENTURY CLUB IN GL'ANDARY.
From the conversation that went on in liie cor
ridors of the Hotel Aator yesterday while the City
Federation was in session. It seemed evident that
there was going v be a large dsfssttOn from the
Tentury Theatre Club <n areount of the Mark
Twain episode.
"I didn't know I had Joined ■ Christian Science
club," said one. "and I am going to get out."
"1 only stayed In," said another, "because it was
so harmonious. If we me going to row !ik<? other
clubs, I am going to get out."
The future of the club is very uncertain, and an
executive meeting held at the home of the presi
dent. Mrs. Sydney Roscnfold, yesterday morning
failed to produce any pkm by which the present
problems can be solved.
According to the constitution, Mrs. Rosen f eld
cannft be re-elected unless she i:s elected unani
mously, and that row appears to be Impossible,
but there are s>\ ill many who cannot Imagine the
flub without her. Hence a general feeling of ship
wreck.
Meantime many large contributions hsrve been
withdrawn from the club's booth at the Actors'
Fund Fair on account of the. Mark Twain incident.
Among those mentioned as candidates at the elec
tion which takes place next Friday are Mrs. Edith
Kills Baiter, chairman of the fair committee, and
Mrs. Frank Stuart Osborne.

ARBOR DAY EXERCISES
Three Thousand Children in P. S. 96
Have Open Air Programme.
The neighborhood around Avenue A and fist
Street took an ; afternoon off yesterday to attend
the tree planting exercises at Public School 36.
The open air part of the programme was announced
for 2 o'clock. An hour before that time a solid
mass of men, women and children, many of tho
last babies in arms, lined Avenue A for more
than a block en the side opposite the school.
Every lire escape on the tenement houses facing
the school was loaded with humanity, and almost
every one displayed rather battered (lags in
some cases, but the Stars and Stripes, neverthe
less. It was a quiet but an eager crowd, for in
a very few minutes "my Johnnie" or "my Mary"
was going to come marching out of those big doors,
waving a Rag and singing and wearing the clean
new blouse or frock which] In many of the fami
lies, represented no little sacrifice.
Meantime, inside the school the pupils of the
girls' department were having songs and recita
tions in the assembly room. The primary pupils
had had theii celebration In the morning. The
singing of both departments was remarkably goo.l.
and some pretty surprises had been prepared by
the various classes. In the ■■surprise" given by
US nine little girls danced In with a rhythmic
waltz step. swinging white and yellow ribbons,
and sang a song about "Buttercups and Daisies.
At 2 o'clock the primary children marched into
the street, under the leadership of their principal,
Mrs. Mary C. O'Brien. The girls of tho higher de
partment followed, with Mrs. Eliza S. Pell, their
principal. Two by two, line after line, they came,
till the east side of the street from Ms; street to
S2d street was packed with a solid level of llt.ie
heads, black, brown and yellow. There were al
most three thousand children in all.
Then they Sang. They sang arbor songs, and
they sans "America." and waved the flags they
held, and they recited "one nation, one language.
one flag." nnd stretched out their small hands In
salute to the large flag which a tall girl held. Big
policemen walked up and down the narrow space
in the centre of the street, keeping back thH
fathers and mothers, who pressed forward, each
trying to catch fight ci Ms or her own particular
child. Trucks drew up on the outskirts of the
crowd, and the drivers craned their necks to see
the small future citizens declaring their loyalty to
th" flag. If not future — being mostly girls—
ih.v were at least future mothers of voter?.
There was to have been pome tree planting lit
Public School 96 yesterday, but the trees were so
disobliging as not to arrive in time. However, the
tr'-eu planted by the school in former years had
budded bravely in honor of the day, in spite of tho
late spring.
There was one little Bohemian girl at the exer
cises win was particularly glad to be there. A
■.!]•!'• of days ago her mother came to Mrs. Pell
and told her she didn't believe she could get the
child a dress for Arbor Day.
"My man's been drinking for a week," she said.
"I've tot to go to court and get him sent to the
Island."
But "her man" reformed, at least temporarily,
and the woman didn't go to court this time, and
the child's Urcss was made.
AGAINST COMIC SHEETS.
Kinder hers Think Colored Sun
day Supplements Are Baneful.
The International Kindergarten Union. In session
at Teachers College, decided yesterday to conduct
a campaign of education against the "comic" sec
tions of, certain Sunday newspapers. Parents will
be urged by criculars to exclude these sections
from their homes and the union will pay the ex
penses of the fight.
A sub-committee of children's writers and illus
trators Is to try to find a substitute for the comic
supplements, and will report at the next conven
tion, which will probably be held in New Orleans.
The action was based on a literary committee's
report, which dwelt on what was called the abso
lutely false note struck in the minds of children by
the supplements. It said that In the pictures there
were no signs of sincerity or honest effort, and
that the supplements were devised simply with a
view to a wide sale.
Women's clubs all over the country will be asked
to join in the work, and newspapers will be asked
to publish good literature for children regularly

American Versus Swiss
If your dealer tells you that Swiss watches are better
than American, he says so because of the extra profit
to himself in selling Swiss watches. WALTH AM
watches are the best timekeepers in the world.
To prove it, we are prepared to offer fifty
WALTHAM WATCHES to be run against fifty
watches of any foreign make in a competitive test
of timekeeping — the one hundred watches to be placed
for this purpose in the hands of some competent and
disinterested authority, and the whole number to
become the property of the winner.

THE WEATHER BUREAU
7/.s' Immense Value to Farmers and
Mariners — Hozc It World.
Through the agency of the weather bureau two
million American farmers are placed in telephonic
communication every day with hundreds of trained
observers in the enda of the earth, whose combined
knowledge and experience enable thi m to tell these
farmers how to care for their crops. Through the
snrao agency the mariners of the I'uited States are
warned of the dangers of approaching storms.
Through the same agency the dwellers In great
river valleys are cautioned when there Is a flood
descending upon them.
Th« Associated Press Is looked upon as being the
greatest information collecting agency In the world.
Hut dots The Associated Press hear each day from
Seydisfjord, Iceland? The weather bureau does.
Also from St. Petersburg in R;ms!a, from Irkutsk
in Siberia, from the Azores Islands, from the Ker
mudas, from the British Isles, from nearly ever) 1
country in Europe, from the West Imiies, from
dozens Of places in Mexico, from sc«>res in Canada
and from nioro than two hundred cities In the
t'nited States.
The information which comes to the central office
of the weather bureau in "Washington from all
these places enables the forecaster to venture a
prediction about what the weather will be for the
next thirty-six or forty-eight hours. Sometimes
the forecaster does not hit it. and there is a pretty
general disposition among readers of newspapers
in cities to sneer at "Old Prob." The fruit grower
of Florida, the cranberry grower of New Jersey,
the mariner of the Great Lakes, the tobacco planter
of the Middle South— and many other classes
of Americans remember how many millions of dol
lars the weather bureau predictions have saved
them. They do not sneer. Those persons who
have been Induced to move back from the banks of
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers because of a
weather bureau flood warning and have seen th«
height of the flood's crest predicted to within a
few Inches days and even weeks in ndvance— they
do not sneer.
Every daily newspaper In the TnltM States prints
each day tho official weather forecast. If it i« left
out by accident th^ subscriber? are sure to register
a kick. The forecast cards ar« ser.t t.. thousands
and thousands of persona, to whom they will get In
time to be of benefit, and are posted in every i>.>st
omco which can be reached by them. Uttl< cards
with the forecast stamped on them aro sent out
from central postofliccs along every rurnl free de
livery route In the country where the carrier leaves
late enough In the day to carry that day's forecast.
Through the medium of the newspapers, the Bags
and lanterns displayed and the cards posted, every
city dweller in th* United Ktat. s may have the
1« nefit of the weather forecast without any par
ticular effort or expense.
Rut the. f.-.rn-rr Is tho man who needs the in
formation most, and It is to reach the farmer t!.at
Professor Willis h. Muore and bis assistants are
striving. The telephone h;is solved the. problem In
the Middle West and along the Atlantic const. Its
rapid extension through rural districts makes it of
increasing Importance each day, 'i> .■ ;
panles aro requested to aid the bureau In the <!!•
semination of this useful information. Most of
them glady accede. Some of them refuse and
want money. Those who go in for co-opt
advertise the connection with the weather .cer
vice ns a feature to induce farmers to become
telephone subscribers. Tb« telephone service Is
managed In this fashion: Tlio nearest official
weather efflce telephones to the central or
the telephone system the forecast, it is then
distributed to c-acli centml exchange in tho sys
tem, and ••certral." ever obliging, will be ue
llghted to tell any Inquirer over th« 'phono what.
the weather outlook may be. In case of a hurri
cane or cold wave warning, there Is a general call
arid each subscriber 1b informed ho that he may
have ample time to protect himself, his stock and
his crops.
If It is s cold wave warning, the citrus grower
In Florida or California, who f<-ar» the calamity
of a frost, will protect his orange and lemon trees
by building smudgo tires and making a cloud Of
smoke that will liunsf Hke a mantle over the or
chard and prevent frost. If it Is the cranberry
grower of New Jersey or Wisconsin he will flood
bis bogs and go to sleep, for enly a heavy freese
can !nirt his crop. If It is the tobacco planter, he
will cover his young plants with canvas nnd keep
out tiie cold. The strawberry snrrlener will throw
straw over bis beds. All of them will sleep tight,
for the weather bureau has heard from the tour
corners of the. world that day; it has found where
the storms »re and In what direction the) are
travelling; where the "low" nnd "hij,-!;" atmos
pheric pressures are, and where those centres are
travelling; and from all this the bureau has de
ducd the information which has saved that
farmer's year's work from destruction. Does the
farmer sneer at "Old Prob"? Xot much.
The two hundred reg'ilarly equipped observa
tories In the country ar<" supplemented by ni"re
than 3,<KKJ voluntary c.o-openxtive stations at which
temperature and rainfall observations are taken.
Besides the dally weather fore< asts, based upon
the observations taken twice daily, at S a. m. and
8 p. in.. Washington time, tho weather bureau
Issues a daily map from each of its principal sta
tions, showing In detail the atmospheric conditions
over the country obtaining each morning. A
monthly weather review is Issued, showing the
weather conditions for the month over the United
Btates and adjoining countries, and containing
elaborate meteorological charts and tables. In
the cllmatological service there are forty-four sec
tions, nearly corresponding to the states of the
Union, and these compile, and publish each month
bulletins showing In detail the climatic condition.-;
for the month of each of tho sections. In addi
tion to these, the bureau issues occasional bulle
tins containing the larger reports made by the
experts In tho various branches of the service.
Scientific knowledge and mechanical Ingenuity
have combined to give tho weather student the
use of the most delicate nnd accurate instruments
for measuring and recording the atmospheric press
ure, tho temperature, tho direction and velocity
of the wind, the variations of sunshine and clouds,
tho fall of rain or snow. The barometer on the
roof of a high building records with exactness
every variation of the atmospheric pressure on a
continuous record in tho office below It. And so
•with the thermometera und other instruments, of
which there are many types and the number of
which ar* constantly increasing. There is such a
thing as a self-recording sun dial, which keeps a
record of the sunlight and clouds for a month at
a time on blue print paper. At tho volunteer sta
tions the rainfall Is measured in a simple rain
gauge which has a funnel shaped mouth leading
into a vessel of exactly one-tenth the superficial
area of the mouth of the funnel. Tho water in
this vessel is measured, and it there Is ten inches

The weather bureau costs nbout $1,500,000 a year.
Over against this muy be s.'t the facts that a sin
gle cold wave warning once saved $3,500,000 worth
of property, that a flood warning saved 000,
000 worth of property and many lives In the Mis
sissippi Valley, that storm warnings displayed one
day detained In port coast vessels with their car
goes valued at $30,000,000 which otherwise would
have had to reckon with one of tho most terrific
hurricanes ever known on the Atlantic.
The daily service of weather predictions was be-
Kun In the United States in 1910 by the Signal
Corps of the army, and -it first was designed to
aid the navigators of th« Oreiit Likes and tho At
lantic Coast. Its scope and purpose were grad
ually enlarged, and in 1691 it became a branch of
the Department of Agriculture under the name
of tliO weather bureau. Under the army regime
the heads of he service were Generals Myer, f)rum,
ii;:/.. and Qreely, and under v..- Department of
Agriculture I'rofrssors Harrington an.! Moore. Pro
fessor Moore, the present chief, has been conduct
ing the affairs of the bureau since July. 1833. The
work of the service has prawn constantly, and In
the last few years, thanks to rural free delivery
and the telephone. It hna Increased its scope to a
wonderful degree. Each day tho observations
taken the day before, are added to the stock of
knowledge •■' the experts, and with each day the
errors arising from Inadequate knowledge are
fewer. The service Is becoming moro and more
efficient, and, while It never will be perfect and-
Infallible, it la destined to have a great share In
the continued prosperity of the country.
To the United States belongs much of the credit
for tho development of the science of meteorology.
Benjamin Franklin by means of his own observa
tions and his private correspondence- found that
storms moved northeastward from Philadelphia
toward New England. Thomas Jefferson, at Monti
cello. and James Malison, at WUllamsburg, in Vir
ginia, took a series of simultaneous observations
In the years 1772-1777. and certain conclusions were
drawn from them, so that the belief took shape
that storms had a certain progessiva movement
and a whirling motion nt the centre, the founda
tion of tha science as it Is known to-day. About
the me time two French scientists proposed to
establish stations over n large territory anil to take
observations to discover the rules of the storm
king's court.
But It was fhe invention of the telegraph that
made th • plans practicable. Professor Joseph
Henry, of th<» Smithsonian Institution, who bad
aided In the perfection of the telegraph, began to
«lr:tw weather maps, and as early as 18M ho dis
played them each day at the Institution In Wash
ington. The Civil War Interrupt tl>.> work i>i
America, l:: 1861 Franca •■■•, in the publication of
a daily weather map, which baa been kepi up ever
since. .'i yearn thereafter the United States
began to issue its daily map. Now the American

tists of the world. What .i difference there 1* be

suited a man, and Influenced him in buying It. And that's the way wa help you to
i choose a hat now.
