Travels Plane Route.

Bn Scripps-Hondrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. GA
weather bureau and radio station
on an auto truck, the property of
Boeing Air Transport, is spending
the winter roaming around the west
looking for storms.
This winter excursion is for the
purpose of locating weather obser-
vation stations along Boeing'S Chi
cago-San Francisco airway. and to
make a general study of winter
storms in the area.
The truck is spending the win
ter between Omaha and Cheyenne.
It will look for storms and weather
bureau sites for fifty miles or so
on either side of the airWay.
Next spring, when passenger
service in tri-motored planes is
started over this longest of Ameri-
cas- airways, there will be constant
weather service, not only along the
entire line of flight, but on each
side as well. Storms will be spotted
and reported long before they reach
the airWay.
There are seven men with this
mobile weather bureau and radio
station. They include two weather
men, a radio operator, and four
former navy men with radio ex-
| perience.
This is believed the first time in
the history Of meterology that COM
plete stations on wheels have been
sent out. The auto truck method
allows for mobility in case the
weather station sites tested do not
prove satisfactory.

SICKNESS FINDS
GEORGE v WELL
Seriousness of Condition
Was Withheld From
Worried Subjects.

BIZ United PTcss
LONDON, Nov. "a year ago
today, newspapers sold like hot
cakes, cables flashed from one end
of the earth to the other. and the
world was distressed to learn that
King George v of England was
seriously i'll.
The news of his illness was con-
tanned in an official bulletin issued
from Buckingham Palace and
signed by two doctors, which was
issued on the night Of Nov. 81,
1928. and appeared in the press the
following morning.
Up to that time all the world
knew was that the king had con-
traced a slight cold by standing
bareheaded in the rain during the
Armistice day ceremonies at the
Cenotaph. Nov. IL. The bulletin
revealed that this cold had de-
veloped into bronchial pneumonia,
and from then on for many months
everybody watched his struggle
with bated breath
Opinion holds that but for the
unflagging attention of the eleven
doctors, summoned to the king S
bedside, he would not, at his age,
have survived the illness.
The crisis came during the
Christmas week, when all feared
that the festivities would be marred
by the sickness of the empires
ruler. It was on the express wish
Of the royal family that bulletins
OF a more favorable character we're
issued to allow the public to enjoy
the Christmas holiday with more
relieved minds.
This was not so at Buckingham
Palace where at least once dur
ing that week Queen Mary and her
children awaited all night the dread
summons to the kings bedside.
With the new year, the king took
on a new lease Of life. Soon. he
was able to be moved to Craigwell
House, near BognOr, and, as he re-
gained his strength, to Windsor
castle and from there after a short
stay to London, to Sandringham
where he is today.
Competent authorities believe
that King George now is almost as
fit as he YVES just before his illness
