said this was due to a defect in the
propellers.
Throughout the afternoon the NC-1
was swung to determine the varia-
tion Of her compass. This was not
completed until o'clock, and although
the beach crew worked hard to put
fuel aboard, the task was not finished
in time for fight before dusk.
PLANES Formally Commissioned
The commissioning ceremony took
place at II o'clock. The eighteen men
who will form the crews of the three
boats were lined ur in front of the
NC hangar. On the concrete base in
front of the hangar we're the NC1
and NC-3. Inside the hangar was the
NC4, while beside her lay the NC-2,
shorn of the wings that had enabled
her to do the experimental work which
will bring glory to her more fortunate
sisters. Those wings now adorn the
NC-1.

The men upon whom falls the honor
of carrying the flag to the conquest of
another element sprang to attention.
"Colors" sounded sharply, and from
the stern of all three seaplanes Old
Glory futtered. simultaneously the
graceful commissioning pennant was
released from the bows.
The ceremony was completed when
Captain Powers Symington, chief of
staff to the commandant of the Third
Naval District, read the telegram or

~ feather Bureau Data
Said to Insure FIiers
From, Danger of Storms

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Meteorolo
gists of the Weather Bureau who are
cooperating with the Navy Department
in preparations for the transatlantic
fight regard it as probable that in 60
ing overseas the three naval seaplanes
under Commander John H. Towers will
maintain an altitude of from 1000 to
1000 feet They believe the planes
will not have to fly as high as would
a transcontinental aviator in order to
derive the greatest possible assistance
from the winds.
Wind is the one element of para
mount Importance to a successful flight,
according to Professor Charles +.
Marvin, chief Of the Weather Bureau.
Extensive reports as to weather con-
ditons have been gathered by the
bureau, and q friendly cooperation ex-
lists with the meteorological services of
Canada and Great Britain and aviators
of other nations preparing to make the
flight.
"As a part of it's work." said an an
nouncement to-day, "the Weather Bu-
reau is using its daily reports from
ell its stations in the United States
to give indications of the most favor
able day for the long flight to begin.
1t has arranged to receive wireless
anu NdDic IcEOIlS from OBSERVING SCd-
tions on the west coast of Europe
AS far as storms go, the naval avia-
tors have little to fear. When North
America and the Atlantic are clear of
great atmospheric disturbances, it is
almost sure that an airplane could
travel over the whole breath of the
ocean, from west to east, without en-
countering a storm. The reason for
that is the eastward drift of the at
mosphere, credited sometimes to the
revolution of the EARTH"
Since compasses have been found to
lose much Of their precision on air
planes, experts of the weather bureau
believe they will be almost useless on
Trans Atlantic flights. The oscillation
OF the plane itself is a large deterrent
factor, and others are the attraction of
the motor or machine material for the
needle, and the impracticability of
making corrections while making flights
at high speeds.
"Under clear Skies" said the bu-
rcau's statement, "seXtant observations
make possible the correct determina-
ton of positions, but in cloudy weather
the compass is the only guide, unless
the aviator can fly high enough to get
above the clouds. 1t is believed neces-
sary that Transatlantic airplanes, in
the present stage of development,
should be in constant touch with ships
that could indicate positions by wire

the big tanks be discontinued, as they
were too cumbersome, slow-m owing and
veritable death traps for the men

compared with the speed and efficiency
of the "whippets."

By Nebraska LutK,erans
Special Correspondence

'oPecb' NO'ftopO'ut"'c
OMAHA, Neb., May 3.-The German
Lutheran Church here to-day filed a
suit attacking the new Nebraska law,
requiring all religious services and
school exercises to be conducted in the
English language, asking the court for
an injunction to prevent the Governor
and the Attorney General from enforc-
ing the statute.
The Missouri Synod of Luthcrans,
nearly all of whose pastors are native
Germans, was the plaintiff. Leaders
of the Church contend the law of con-
trary to the Constitutions of the
United States and Of Nebraska, which
grant complete religious freedom, as it
prevents worship according to the in
dividual conscience. The case will be
heard next week.
