* WEATHER MEN
GIVE ADVICE
TO AVIATORS
ma points.
“Should an aviator ask which route
to t^ke in flying north,” Dr. Carpenter
said when explaining his system, “we
would telephone to certain points in
the mountain passes of the Tehachepi
range. The wind might be sweeping
north through one pass and south
through another. Of course, we would
advise the aviators to follow the pass
where the wind was to the north.
“A few months ago a United States
* army officer asked if it would be safe
for his airplane to take off for San
Francisco at 9 o’clock on a stormy
morning. After consulting the weather
bureau we felt safe in advising him
that if he started at that time he
would strike fair weather in an hour,
which proved to be the case.
“Air currents come so near to being
without deviation in Southern Califor
nia that we can make a statement re
garding conditions likely to prevail at
any time of the year at any point.
This was demonstrated recently when
% trip was made by a free ballon from
the campus of the University of Cali
fornia, southern branch, to Highland
Park in the northern section of Los
Angeles. Every detail of the flight
was planned six months in advance,
even to the time and place of start
-fig and landing.
“A manufacturing concern recently
asked whether it would be possible to
make trial flights of ‘baby blimps’ at
a certain time at Los Angeles harbor.
Our records showed the wind would be
unfavorable, but that nearly ideal con
ditions could be found at that time
four miles up the coast.”

PEARL DIVING
SEASON OPENS
ON CORAL ISLE
PAPEETE, Tahiti, July 20 (by As
sociated Press).—The pearl diving sea
son, the great event of the year in
the French Settlements, opens the last
part of July. Diving is not permitted
for two years in succession at the
same island. The various pearl islands
are opened in rotation. This means
that all gear, stocks of merchandise
and building material must be taken
to a new island each year—no small
undertaking when it is remembered
that the coral atoll, which in ordinary
times supports less than two hundred
persons, becomes in the diving season
the abiding place of 2.500 or more.
This year the open island is Hiqu
eru, one of the Paumotu archipelago
400 miles to the eastward of Tahiti.
Already this lonely atoll is taking
on a metropolitan appearance. The
profits to be gained come not only
from the pearl shell won from the
lagoon but from the sale of all kinds of
wares dear to the native heart and
from the* providing of entertainment
to refresh the weary diver and his
.women folk after the labors of the
day are over.
Late advices indicate that the sea
son this year at Hikueru will be the
most active in many years. It is esti
mated there will be at least a thou
sand divers at the island. These, to
gether with their families and the
traders with their staffs, will swell
the population of the island during the
season to nearly 4,000.
WIRELESS TELEPHONES
ON JAPANESE WARSHIPS
TOKIO, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—The Japanese navy has estab
lished a wireless telephone service be
tween warships and airplanes on the
wing. According to the naval authori
■ ties improved wireless telephone ap
paratus is now installed on board all
the warships belonging to the first
squadron and will be extended to all
the other warships within the present
year.

j HOMESICK JAP BOY
JUMPS OVERBOARD
TOKIO, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—A homesick Japanese boy,
who threw himself into the sea as
the steamer Mexico Maru was leaving
for Seattle rather than leave his na
tive land, caused great excitement in
Yokohama harbor. A launch rescued
the boy and in response to signals
from the steamship went alongside
and took off the boy’s parents and
three sisters, who refused to proceed
to the United States without him.

WATER TANK IS
OF SMUGGLERS
RANGOON, July 20 (by Associated
Press).—Several important seizures
of British and American gold have re
cently been made here. The money
was found secreted on ships and in
cluded amounts of £42,000, £3,000
and £37,000.
The business of smuggling has
proved enormously profitable for some
time but it is believed that the author
ities have at last got the upper hand.
In this latest seizure the officials
had to call in divers before their
search of a vessel could be com
pleted.
A big water tank was discovered on
the inside of which was a number of
shelves with 16 bags of gold on them.
The bags were brought to the surface
and were found to contain 13,587
Queen Victoria sovereigns and 6,023
American eagles.
Had the gold been smuggled through
there would have been a profit of
about £10,000.
