The committee believes the time ha i
come when aerological stations should

America banquet In New York Dr.
Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the
Smithsonian institution und chairman
of the executive committee of the Na
tional Advisory Committee For Aero
uuutics, advised its members to urge
most strongly the establishment and
maintenance of the aerological surveys
over North America und adjoining wa
ters.
“At present,” said Dr. Walcott in his
telegram, “practically nothing is known
of tlie movements of the Uuid In which
shortly thousands of aircraft, repre
senting millions of dollars in invest
ment, will lie floating, and, what is far
m-*ro Important, they r ill be operated
by thousands of our finest, specially
