WORLD WEATHER
AND The RADIO

The ghost of DR.. Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit should have had leave
from his ghostly laboratory Monday
night to sit for is minutes in the
Pennsylvania hotel and see the out
come of one Of his dreams. saws the
New York Herald Tribune OF Novem-
ber 80 in an editorial, and continues:
Two hundred years ago that imagi-
native scientist invented the ther-
mometer and began to make weather
records. Before his time gentlemen
driven to keep diaries had been in
the habit Of writing down whether
the weather was wet or dry, cold or
warm but no one before Fahrenheit
seems to have conceived a science of
weather, in which accurate data coll
lected from all over the world might
disclose rules for the future In
,Fahrenheit's time a few fragile ther-
mometers went overseas in care Of
adventuring ship captains. Most
were broken. Years later an ooca-
Sional record might drift back to
Fahrenheit's laboratory. When Fehr-
enheit died his little telltale tube OF
heata nd cold was still hardly more
than scientific toy.
Had the ghost Of the dead ther-
mometer maker slipped into the
meeting of the Export Managers club
at the Pennsylvania, it would have
heard M. A. Morton, of the Radio
Corporation of America, assemble
weather records from three continents
and from rs many oceans inside the
space of Is minutes. Modern radio,
as. speedy as light, more dependable
even than the wires, touching with
its electric tentacles every sea anc;
every land, could draw complete
weather map of the world in less time
than Fahrenheit needed. to take his
one thermometer out of doors on a
cold night, read the temperature and
get back again to toast his shins at
the fire.
The practical value of worldwide
radio in its jobs of communicating
news, directing ships and assisting
business has been so great that it's
utility to science receives less atten-
ton. One of it's first scientific serv-
ices came last year, when radio time
signals enabled the international COM
mission organized by General Gustav
Ferrie to locate each continent on
the earths surface within a few feet
of possible error; an achievement
which will tell us, when repeated in
a decade or two, whether the CONT
nents are really drifting over the
earth ball, as is thought by the Ger
man geologist Professor Alfred Wege-
ner. Mr.. Morton's experiment sug-
gests another scientific service prob
ably not to be long delayed. A world
weather map, like the daily weather
maps of the United States, would be
of great scientific interest and prob
ably of practical value in forecasting.
Radio is able, Mr.. Morton has proved,
to provide it.

ASSAILS MUSCLE SHOALS
POLICY OF GOVERNMENT
Engineer Attacks Program and
Advocates Private Operation
With Supervision.

Government operation Of Muscle
Shoals was decried by Elon H. Hooker,
Niagara Falls chemical manufacturer
and hydraulic engineer, in an address
last night at the Alexandria chautau-
qua. Private operation with Govern
ment cooperation was advocated by
the speaker as the best solution of the
problem.
Declaring that the Government can.
not operate Muscle Shoals as a bust
ness and has no business to go into
the management Of business and that
is one reason why 1t fails when it does
go into business" Mr.. Hooker urged
"a cooperative agreement with capable
and experienced operators on a share
and-share basis, through which the
Government can secure it's earnings in
proportion to the capital which must
come from the Government if Muscle
Shoals is to deliver on its contract
with the taxpayers.
The problem, he said, should be in
vestigated by Congress and a means
found whereby it can be administered
so that the Government can retain it's
ownership and the plant operated to
yield the utmost in nitrogen.
