Uncle Sans Experts Prepare to
Make Survey of Air to
Aid Aviation.
FOR PROTECTION OF FLIERS
Work Made Necessary by Fact That
Soon Thousands Of AirpIanes Will
Be Soaring Over the Ameri-
can Continent.

Now that the airplane is practically
perfected, and many people learning to
fly, an effort is being made by the ma
tional advisory committee for aero
nautics to promote the study of the at
mosphere over this continent and the
adjacent waters, and have a set of ac-
curate charts made for the benefit of
aviators. This investigation is to be
known as an astrological survey.
Especially is this problem vital as it
concerns the national preparedness
program. This fact is brought out by
DIR. Charles D. Walcott, secretary of
the Smithsonian institution and chair
man of the executive committee of the
national advisory committee for aero
nautics, who urges most strongly the
establishment and maintenance OF
theological surveys over North Ameri-
ca and the adjoining waters for the
protection of the lives of our aviators,
the safety of aircraft and the further
ance of their operation.
Little Known of Air.
'tAt present" states Doctor Walcott,
practically nothing is known OF the
movements of the fluid in which short
Iy thousands of aircraft representing
millions of dollars in investment will
be floating and, what is far more inn
portant, they will be operated by thou
sands of our finest specially trained
young men,"
Aviation is recognized as one of the
prime factors, if not the initial neces-
sity. of preparedness. During the past
12 months the national advisory COM
mittee for aeronautics has been eXer-
cising every means within its power to
advise and assist the aerial arms OF
the government, both for land and sea
operation. This committee has been
able to assist in standardiZing air
plane construction to certain extent,
has met with manufacturers of air
planes and airplane motors in an effort
to expedite the delivery of machines
to the government, and has been of
great assistance in the solution of many
other problems.
Astrological Stations Planned.
The committee believes that the time
has come when theological stations
should be established and maintained,
especially in conjunction with military
training stations maintained now or in
the future for the instruction of avia-
tors. The pleas include, through the
cooperation of the weather bureau, the
establishment of additional Astrological
stations for observing, measuring and
investigating atmospheric phenomena
in the aid of aeronautics, not only at
the surface of the earth but at differ
ent elevations up to 10000 feet or
more, and the mapping of the same.
The functions of this system would
serve aviation much as the hydrograph-
Ic office of the coast and geodetic sur
vey advises on ocean navigation.
