The Associated Press recently re- ported from the Town of Beiber, 1alif., that a new inethod had'been evised not only to measure the water 11 evel in a river but send the informa- on at once to residents of lands in leys farther down the stream. By tuning a short wave radio re- fiver set at the proper wavelength, iver set at the proper wave length, orma tion can -on any odd num- 'red hour of the day—obtain an au- tnati.c and accurate report of the 'Wit of the Pitt River thirty-five "les northeast and two days flow up - ream. Similarly on any even num - i ered hour it is possible to obtain the eport of the Hat Creek gauging sta- tion on Mount Lassen, fifty miles away. • The automatic measuring and send- ing mechanism is the result of work by Irvin Ingerson, an engineer at- tached to the State Division of Water Resources. The river height is rec- orded by a device which work some- what like an automatic telephone ex- change in re -verse. Instead of dial numbers controlling movements 'of a plug -in -switch the water movements are translated into code radio signals, What one hears on the radio is the code call of the gauging station fol- lowed by bazzes indicating water height in units, tens and hundredths of feet. Seven buzzes in a row, an isolated buzz and then six in a row would indicate 7.16 feet on the gauge. In this way all abnormal changes ar, instantly available long before the water reaches a danger level on the Iowa: stretches of the river. . U.S. to Study Elm Disease East Orange, N.J.-Steps to block the ravages of, the Dutch elm disease in this locality `were taken when the city commission grat.ted permission for the establishment of a govern- ment bureau here to study the cure and prevention of the sickness` which has already destroyed several score of elms in the Orange and .Maple- wood. Dr. Curtis May, head of the experi- mental station at Wooster, 0., and Dr. 0. N. Liming, chief scout, will be in charge of the .bureau and will study elms in a radius of forty miles.. Eleven trees in Harrison Street,.be- tween Central and McKinley Avenues, show signs of being affected with the disease, according to August Herman, secretary of the East Orange Shade Tree Commission. Some of them are more than 100 years old. Since there are about 975 elfin trees along East Orange highways, tests and discus- sion of possible replanting will begin at once, .••x7,4►:�' i 1 Grocer -"Would you like some wax beans?

Stray Thoughts Caused by the Hot Weather When a girl goes shopping for a hus- band, she doesn't; always find a bar- gain. After a woman lives with a man for ten years, he's about as hard to figure out as a three-piece jig saw puzzle. Instead of trying to patch up a quarrel some couples don't seem to give a rip. A girl can love every hair. on a girl's head and yet, at times, feel like pulling every one of them out. If a girl could read her boy friend like a book, she probably couldn't resist read- ing the last chapter to see if she mar- ries him. Love flies out the window when too many bills come in the door. Probably the reason so many women put their husbands on a pedestal is. because they expect them to be a bust. About the only time some girls will meet a boy half way is when they want a kiss. In life many are called but few are chosen, but in a girl's life many call but few propose. A woman'sin- tuition that tells a girl when the boy friend is falling for her, is the same instinct that tells a fishermau when he has a nible. Gertrude—"So you are not going to get married again?"' Robert—"No. I've become a pact- fist." Taking a slanting survey of the new early fall millinery, we suspect the man of the modern house never is bothered with the question: "Is my hat on straight?" Old Aunt (despondently)—"Well, I will not be a nuisance to you much longer." Nephew (reassuringly)—"Don't talk like that, aunt; you know you will." If there were more words of praise in the home, and less censuee and criti- cism, there would be fewer cases for the divorce euurts. How long is. it since •yOU comnplimented YOUl3. wife?

Moon's -Brightness Varies, French Astronomer Finds An unemotional French astronomer, G.- Rougier, of the observatory at Strasbourg, says "The Pathfinder," has discovered that even the full moon actually does vary in brightness from one night to another. For several years, Rougier reported recently to the French Academy of Sciences, in Paris, measurements have been made of the brightness of moonlight on all clear nights at two observatories, the one at Strasbourg and the other at Sanary. On com- paring the measurements considerable variations were found, not explain- able` by accidental errors. Since most of the measurements had been made not by infallible human eyes but by photo -electric cells pre- sumably immune to moon -struck emo- tions, Rougier felt that some unknown factor must be affecting the moonlight. This finally was traced to unsuspected changes in the transparency of the air. In the measurements of the bright- ness of moonlight, sunlight or star- light, astronomers always make allow- ances for the thickness of air traversed by the light being measured; more when the heavenly body is close to the horizon, less when it is high in the sky or directly overhead. Besides this, Rougier finds that the transparency of a definite quantity of air, such as one mile, varies from night to night, presumably because of un- recognized changes in the weather or in the conditions of the higher layers of the atmosphere. When the air is most transparent the moon seems un- usually bright. When it is less so the moon seems duller. Jim: Will you marry me If 1 *top smoking cigarettes?

The discovery that Scotsmen use water twice as generously as English- men may do something to dispel that notion about excessive Scotch thrift. Dempsey Weds Again 11/1r.

PLUG 70C A Vessel Under Sail There are few things so pretty to my eye as a fleet of twelve -meter rac- ing yachts, for example, moving gent- ly through such a packed roadstead as that at Cowes, and sidling in and out of the well-nigh solid jam of vessels off the enrance to the Medina River; and iii the heart of this confusion to. bring up and make fast, without shout- ing and yelling or ally fuss, as uncon- cernedly as If in some solitary, wide bay. This is seamanship as well as showmanship, aa sight to delight the eye and warm the heart. The conning and management of a vessel under sail is a fine brave thing, tightening the muscles, bracing the nerves, clearing the eye, expanding the chest! And the ravening zest there is in the working of a boat un- der canvas is the compensation of the amateur who does not wish, or cannot afford, to install a motor; and he knows it. Observe him getting under way, to float noiselessly out through the busy anchorage, with a nonchal- ance—three-parts feignedt—amidst the critical regard of an audience covert- ly watching from every other vessel in the harbor. Bon voyage, sailorman! Past my window early this after- noon there drifted a Thames barge, be- calmed, and with the tide against her. The tide had then four hours to run. By this time she will have been car- ried willy-nilly down to the Needles unless a breeze has found her, or she anchors. Six hours gone, and all that lost ground to be won back. Why, a motor -barge would have made the port and by now have half -discharged her cargo! Efficiency! But must we lose our sailing barges of the Thames who, with our yachts, are the inheritors of the tradition of mast -and -sail; and with them, their hands, about the only sailors left to us? And if they go we shall also lose a great beauty, for what the gondolas are to the Venetian scene, as much are the buxom, russet barges to our own more somber - tinted waters and wharves. Still, individual Thames barges are surprisingly long-lived—fifty years is a common age, and a hundred not un- heard of—and it may be that the type possesses a vitality to correspond. One has heard that the type has undergone scarcely the slightest variation for over a century; and it appears indeed that like other craft indigenous to cer- tain waters, the dhow, for example, and the felucca, the Thames barge is still similar in essentials to the first of its kind. The Thames barges are the constant companions of our cruising yachts; there is always a dark brown topsail on an English sea horizon, and you can count on the company of one or more of them at every coastwise port, sails bralled in, riding like swans asleep.—John Scott Hughes, in "Little Ships." (London: Country Life, Ltd.; New York: Dutton). Wild Life on Increase In All National Parks There are greater numbers of wild animals now roaming the forests of the national parks than at any time since these areas became game sanc- tuaries, according to recent game counts made by park rangers, says "The Detroit News." Unusually severe weather in some of the national park areas would have worked serious hardship among the elk, buffalo and other big game ani- mals found there had it not been for the protection afforded them by the park rangers and owners of nearby ranches and game preserves, park of- ficials say. Emergency rations of hay, cottonseed cake and other feed pro- vided by these agencies during the worse months enabled the animals to come through the winter in good shape. In Yellowstone Park, oiie of the greatest wild -animal sancturaries in the world, where there is snow until late in the spring, only two buffalo calves were known to have died. So well did Yellowstone animals survive the winter that when the cen- sus of elk in the park was taken it showed an increase of more than 3,000, making a total of nearly 14,000 elk now in the area. This is the largest elk population of any of oar parks, although they are found in small numbers in eight other national parks. Deer outnumber all other large ani- mals of the parks, estimate placing the number at 25,000 mul-deer, 3,000 black -tailed deer and approximately 2,400 white-tailed deer. Although caribou were never nu- merous in the United State, Mt. Mc- Kinley National Park boasts some 25,000 of these animals. This park is also a sanctuary for mountain sheep, of which it is estimated that there are more than 18,000 living on Mt. McKinley's steep slopes. Smaller num'iers of these sheep may also be found in Rocky Mountain Glacier and Grand Canyon Parks. Bears are becoming scarce in the country as a whole. .Even in the parks where they are protected census reports show only about 1,800 black bears and 40-0 grizzlies. The black bears are most numerous in Yellow- stone, Yosemite, Glacier, Sequoia and Mt. Ranier national parks. Yellowstone is the home of the last survivors of the buffalo herds that once roamed the western plains in great numbers. The park's buffalo population numbers about 1,000 ani- mals. Moose are equally scarce in our na- tional parks, there being only about 1,000 which are distributed in Yel- lowstone, Grand Teton, Glacier and ; Mt. 1Vl;cit'.inloy parks. When it ac- !, tually becomes a park Isle Royale in Lake Superior will be a great sanctu- ary for moose. Antelope are found chiefly in Yel- lowstone, where they number about 650.
