Weather Prophet Predicts More Rain March to Be Wet Month, According to Father Ricard March will be another wet month, Father Ricard, padre of the rains, announced in issuing his monthly sun spot forecast. His predictions follow: March 1, 2, 3, 4—A disturbance of unusual intensity moving in from the Gulf of Alaska, calling for energetic south and southeast winds, followed by generous rains from Alaska to San Diego and snow over the mountainous regions away from the immediate coast. As usual, the coming down of the storm will be gradual, reaching Southern California about the third and fourth instant. March 5, 6—An additional depression will join forces with the foregoing and delay the clearing until the sixth instant. March 7, 8, 9—Fair from Alaska to Sonora, with increasing cloudiness on the ninth instant. March 9, 10, 11—A minor disturbance forming over Southern California and Arizona, causing much cloudiness but little rain, excepting San Diego and parts of Arizona, where the rain will be worth measuring. March 12, 13—Generally fair, but getting cloudy on the thirteenth instant on account of a new oceanic low. March 14, 15, 16, 17—Bad weather on land and sea, brisk to high south winds to guard against; rains on the west side and snows on the east side of the full length of the Sierra, and quite within the possibilities that Southern California shall get downpours. March 18—Regime of low depressions continued. March 19—Clearing, showers, sunshine. March 20—Rather fair under new cloud formations, threatening and possibly rain before night. March 21—Unsettled, cloudy and misty. March 22, 23—New arrivals from the ocean, arguing a continuance of the same wet, windy, unpleasant weather. A coll wave on the twenty-third instant will cause a barometric rise, rip the clouds and permit an allowance of sunshine. March 24—Rather fair. Short Time Left to Pay Income Tax Collector of Internal Revenue Galen H. Welch calls the attention of taxpayers to the fact that only 12 business days remain in which to file income tax returns for the year 1926. After midnight of Tuesday, March 15, Mr. Welch states that he will be compelled to assess the penalties as prescribed by law, he therefore urges all taxpayers who have not already filed income tax returns for 1926, to do so at once. The following are some of the more common questions asked by taxpayers, and for whose information answers have been attached: Q. Who have to file returns? A. Single persons who had a net income in 1926 of $1500 or more, or a gross income of $5000 or more, and married couples who had a net income in 1926 of $3500 or more, or who received a gross income of $5000 or more must file returns. Q. When? A. The filing period ends March 15, 1927. But taxes may be paid quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. Q. Where are taxes to be paid? A.

Full instructions appear on forms No. 1040-A and No. 1040. No. 1040-A is to be used for taxpayers whose net income of 1926 was less than $5000 derived chiefly from salaries and wages. Where the income is from a business (including farming) or from rentals or sale of real estate, stocks or bonds, form No. 1040 should be used regardless of the amount of net income. Form No. 1040 is for the use of taxpayers whose net income in 1926 was in excess of $5000. Q. How are taxpayments to be forwarded? A. Taxes may be paid by personal check, draft or money order, made payable to the order of the collector of internal revenue. Q. What is amount of tax to be paid? A.

March 25, 26, 27, 28—A triple disturbance entering via north will spoil the weather for awhile, call for fresh south winds, add a new quota of rain, not to mention snow over the mountains, pay a visit to Southern California and upset the old weather bureau normals.

It is indicated in the fifth biennial report of the state highway commission. Three outstanding developments in bridge design have been adopted during the last two years, it is observed in a report by the automobile Club of Southern California. These are wider roadways, better alignment of bridge and approaches and more attention to esthetics of design. The standard width of roadway for state highway bridges previous to 1924 was, with few exceptions, 21 feet. Today on roads where a 20-foot pavement is contemplated or seen as a future possibility, the bridges are made 24 feet. Where the traffic justifies wider roads, the bridges are made correspondingly wider. A number of 30-foot bridges and subways have been built in the last two years and a few 40-foot and 46-foot structures. Bottleneck bridges, which retard traffic, are being avoided by the state department. It was a former custom in highway bridge construction to build bridges at right angles to the stream wherever possible and without vertical or horizontal curves on the bridge. Economy and simplicity of design resulted from this rule, but it often also resulted in dangerous sharp turns at bridge approaches and poor alignment generally. It now is the aim to make the alignment and riding qualities of bridges and approaches equal to the high standard used in building highway, so that maximum speed limits may be permitted. Studies are made of proposed crossings now and, where necessary, the bridge is skewed or curved to get the desired result in the most economical manner. Many beautiful bridges have been constructed under the supervision of the California highway commission among the 65 spans and major structures that have been built since June, 1924. The state has co-operated with the counties by spending $2,000,000 in this work during the clennium. California Names Are Taught Pupils Elementary school pupils are to be taught "to spell California words correctly, particularly geographical and historical names, and nouns and adjectives used in describing the activities of the various California industries, according to advises received by R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools, from the department of education, University of California. The advises state that, under the direction of Dr. John Guy Fowkles and Dr. G. M. Ruch of the university faculty, an attempt is being made to compile a minimum list of special California words to supplement the basic spelling requirements. Such a list, it is explained, would contain the words peculiar to California, and of sufficient importance to be learned by the elementary school pupils. Approval of the plan was voiced by Mitchell, who declared that, due to the Spanish origin of many geographical names, particularly those of counties and cities, they are misspelled in the "English way" by many persons. One of those, he said, is "Santa Ana," which often is written "Santa Anna" by those unfamiliar Southland. In an interview Ford told us in the historical comp. Sudbury, M.

UP-TO-DATE MIDAS In an interview the other day, Henry Ford told of the beginning of his interest in the Wayside Inn and the historical community he is restoring at Sudbury, Mass. Some one started a movement to save the Wayside Inn as a shrine to the memory of Longfellow. Like all such movements, it needed money. Henry Ford was approached, and the man who has so often been quoted as declaring that history is bunk actually gave $15,000 for this work. Very soon, however, he was approached again with the news that other funds were not forthcoming and the project was doomed. Instead of dropping the matter, Ford decided to buy the inn himself. It cost him $60,000 at the time, and has probably cost a good deal more by now because of its many ramifications—the purchase and restoration of other buildings, the collection of authentic antiques and historical relics, and so on. But there is a characteristic Ford quirk to this story. "The funny part of it," said Mr. Ford, himself, "is that the inn is self-supporting, and I shouldn't be surprised if it paid a dividend some day." Neither should the public be surprised. Ford has a Midas touch which seems to be far from deadening. Making the Wayside Inn so authentic, so attractive, so alive and interesting that the public can't keep away from it is going to make the thing financially profitable. The same thing might be done with 'many a historic place. Don't forget sauerkraut as a winter standby, and a source of vitamins. FOR SALE—Nine genuine Chinese imported rugs.
