SCIENTIFIC STUDY. OF AIR NEEDED TO. PERFECT AVIATION.
sNoN8 &- AAA "a Whims and Fancies of Elem. ents Must Be Known Be-
 fore Flying Entirely Safe.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10- The ocean of air., which followers of aviation believe will someday be filled with great air liners plying their way from city to city on regu- lar schedules, must be studied from a meteorological standpoint and the whims and fancies of the elements must be reduced to easily unders- ood data before the dream cf worldwide commercial aviation can become a reality, according to c. Le Roy Meisinger, Government raeteorolOgist here.
 Mr. Meisinger in l.3pef discus sing the effects of air conditions on commercial aviation, says that mete- orology is the mainstay of aviation, regardless of the confidence pilot may have in his motor aud in his plane.
 The ocean of air., he says, son stantly is changing, and does not contain steodfast currents, such as the Gulf Stream and the Japanese Currents which are found in oceans of water. He pointed out that even the prevailing belief that far above are strong westerly winds which never change sometimes is shocked by facts revealed through scientific study of aerial conditions.
 Because af the constantly chang ing conditions of aerial routes through which, the air liners of the future will travel, Mir. MeisiEger de clares that before big commercial aviation companies can operate on a large scale, great masses Of datd on air conditions at all times Gf the year, in all places and under all circumstances, must be gathered. He suggested placing consulting meteorologists on the staffs of all aviation companies, these men to study the air as it affects aviation and to decide daily what altitude and what route a plane should take from one. city to another.
 Air coalitions are so changeable, MT. Meisinger says, that plane travelling between the same two points might have to take differ
The Alaska daily empire., 1921-02-10

ent routes almost every day in order to make the trip with the least danger. Also a plane flying from New York to Chicago might find a certain route the best, while one travelling from Chicago to New York on the same day might find that another and entirely different route was more favorable.
 Some of the things which airpIane dispatchers, or traffic managers, on aerial commercial lines will have to consider, he says. are speed and Gi rection of the wind in the area to be traversed, the frequency of low clouds and fogs, the frequency and

intensity of thunder storms, the vertical temperature distribution, the normal values Of precipitation at flying fields and the effect of atmos. pheric pressure on aerial instru- ments, particularly the altimeter.
 The changing conditions in the air make it impossible to gather the necessary information in a single pathfinding flight over an area he continues, but by gathering data in numerous flights at all times of the year and under all circumstances, a system of averages could be de- vised which would aid greatly in dis patching planes over aerial routes.

THE SLIDELL FOLLIES.

Lack of space caused us to omit a
notice of the Slidell Follies, last
week. This amateur company merit
ed such high praise that some men
ton is due it. The company was
thoroughly .rehearsed and prepared
for it's work, and was professional
in the accuracy with which all parts
of the program were carried out.
The singing of Miss. Beulah Bour-
geois was a treat. Alice Blue Gown,
by Miss Genevieve Storm, was a deli
cate and refined Interpretation, and
Miss Mildred Myatt was very credit
able indeed. The dancing of !. Miss
Virginia Dunham was very pretty
and graceful and Miss Alice DeSola
would class well with professionals.
Donald Dunn sings we'll and Frank
Beavers has the assurance of an old
timer. He sang "I'll do it if l like
it." in costume But o, Frank, why
did you do it?
All together, the performance was
most wonderful one for amateurs,
and Slidell may be assured that she
has the material for theatrical work
of a high order. Some of the eoM-
pany were prevented from coming
up from Slidell because OF road re-
pair.
