WEATHER IS OF IMPORTANCE IN
 OCEAN FLIGHTS

Washington, D. C., June 17.---Re- calling its part in the historic and successful trans-Atlantic flight by an American seaplane, the Weather Blu reau of the United States Department of Agriculture reiterates it's belief that not until improvements in air craft have rendered them more inde- pendent of weather conditions than they now are, will trans-oceanic fly ing be at all practicable---at any rate on anything like a, regular schedule. The bureau meteorologists, however, express little doubt that such inn
 provements will be made, and that within a few years flying across the seas will no longer be looked upon as an adventure, but rather a necessary feature of the worlds daily routine.
 Weather reports, since the trans Atlantic flight was made, show that at no time since have conditions been so favorable as when the NC planes left Newfoundland. In general, ac- cording to the meteorologists, occa- sions are rare on which ideal condi- tions would be experienced over as long a course as that upon which the Navy flyers set out.
 The Weather Bureau actively CO., operated with the United States Navy in the successful attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean in seaplanes. Arrange ments were made for the receipt of meteorological observations from Eu- rope and the Azores, and, in addition, regular observations were made on ships at sea, under the direction of the Naval Meteorological Service. All of these observations, together with those regularly taken in the United States and Canada, were reported by radio four times daily to the central office of the Weather Bureau at Washington, D. C., and to the base ship Aroostook at Trepassey, New foundland. At the latter place these reports were charted and studied by representative of the Weather Bu- reau and by a member of the Naval Meteorological Service, and state ments, based upon this study and in dicating the current and probable fu- ture conditions. were given to the commanders of the seaplanes
 On the historic 18th of May, these statements showed that conditions for the flight from Newfoundland to the Azores, although not perfect, were the most favorable they had yet been and Commander Towers was accord ingly advised to have everything ready for the start, providing the forecast from Washin gton was favor able. About an hour later this fore cast was received. It also advised that the flight be made that day, but pointed out, as did the statement made at Trepassey, that cloudiness would be encountered near the Azores. The Trepassey statement in cluded a table showing the wind as- sfstance that would probably be re- ceived at successive points along the route. As is well known, the flight started that or the seaplanes, the NC 4, reached the Azores without mishap and ahead of schedule time. As had been pre- dicted, weather conditions were excel lent over the western part of the course, but cloudiness interfered with navigation to some extent near the Azores. 7

BUNKER HILL

The anniversary of the famous bat tle-June IT, 1775-recalls two fam ous celebrations of the day, the first on the semi-centenary, in 1925, when the cornerstone of the Bunker Hill monument was laid, and the second in 1S43, when the memorial was dedi- cated. Lafayette was the guest of honor at the 1925 celebration. and President Tyler was present at the gather round it and when the one sions Daniel Webster was the princi- pal orator. Webster's addresses on these occasions were among the grea test of his oratorical flights. In 1925 many veterans of the revolution were present, and to these "vener- able men," "come down to us from former generation" Webster address ed his speech.
