some very valuable conclusions in this

not necessary. Unfortunately. there is
frequently a gap between model perform
ences and the performances OF a full

ure's laws change, but because minute
circumstances or forces which escape
measurement or notice on a small scale
attain an energy or a significance quite
unsupported prior to the building of the
ultimate creation.
Hence there comes a time when the

nately, can be overcome by precise eX-
periments upon big surfaces on a large
scale, and these must of necessity be
more or less costly. If privately executed

PROPOSED COMMISSION.

II is proposed that a commission be
authorized by Congress which shall have
authority 10 outline the form of manage
ment OF the national erodynamic labora-
tory. and that this administrative star
should be inspired with the broadcast pur-
pose and responsive 20 suggestions from
every creditable source. In other words,
TO be above narrow prejudice and the
fatal weakness OF dissatisfaction which
has hampered In the past the work OF
more than one government department or
bureau. The institution should be author

ments or discoveries I'm the art or the

developments. and the project must he
treated in a spirit of sympathy with these
conditions. Captain Chambers outlines
the complete role Of an ideal erodynamic
laboratory in the following words and I'm
the natural order OF the ends 10 be at
talned: 20 Execution of verlhcation
tests for nominal fees, GU facilities for
technical men for prosecuting original re-
searches. 60 execution OF researches in
accordance with a programme arranged
by tho administrative council, and ca re-
ward OF commendable results accom-
plished outside OF the laboratory.
The plant is needed not only TO further
the interests Of science and national pre-
paredness, but to further the interests OF
humanity. BY such means we can best
hasten the production of safety and eff
cheney In aircraft and reduce our per-
centage OF martyrs to aviation, which IS
now greater here than In any other coun-
try. Aviation has come to stay, and be-
lieve the sentiment OF our people is In
favor OF making It safe"
There is a potent element OF national

without risk, the relative capabilities and
efficiency of completed aeroplanes. Here
we can obtain this vitality necessary in
formation only by subjecting an aviator
to the hazards Of trial flights, and these,
in order to lessen the danger, must be
made under weather conditions which are
too favorable to approximate the average
circumstances Of service conditions gen
orally. The car at st. Cyr is indeed,
most important accessory, because it .iup-
plements and rounds out research work
on models In the covered laboratory.
To quote Captain Chambers: Tests of
this character-that is. verihcation tests
constitute. so 10 speak, standard work.
They are performed at the request Of
manufacturers, clubs, Independent inves-
tigators and other interested parties
upon condition Of payment for the actual
cost of the work. They, therefore, con-
tribute to the support Of the establish
ment. The tests OF verifcation, however,
Notwithstanding their great utility, do
not constitute either the most important
or the most interesting work of the la
boratory. The research work, which
prosecutes continuously and patiently
systematic, thorough and precise inves-
legations Of new ideas, or of old ideas
with new applications. with the specific
intention of discovering laws and formu-
las for advancing the progress of aerial
navigation, is of greater importance be-
cause II is the short cut to substantial
efficiency, economy, Improvement and
prestige.
This work is concerned with develop
