NEW SEADEVEES RECEVE APPROVAL Coast and Geodetic Survey Director Describes “Echo- Sounding” Process. Fcho sounding through water and radio acoustic sound ranging were given “public presentation and official in- dorsement” E. today by Col. Lester Jones, director of the Coast and 01!0-V detic ‘Survey, in his annual report to the Secretary of Commerce, describing their use in coastal waters, These marvels of modern science, it ‘was explained, enable ships to measure and locate ocean depths with the aid of electro-mechanical devices which send out impulses through the water to the ocean floor. and also to points on shore. Col. Jones also declared that despite an increase of 400 per cent in eight years in the volume of survey work ac- complished, the survey expects further 1o broaden its activitics in the East and along the Atlantic Coast. The increase will be made possible by addition to the survey fleet of one new ship, now under construction, and also through development of under-water communi- cation devices. The Atlantic Coast fleet next vear will consist of four instead of three ships. Resurvey Needed. “There is need for completing a re- survey of those Atlantic and Gulf| Coast waters constantly traversed by coastwise shipping.” declared Col. Jones. “Present charts of the area are con- structed largely from surveys made 60 | to 80 years ago, based on the require- | ments of comparatively small sailing ships. Such charts are partly inade- quate for modern deep-draft steamers. In addition. on this comparatively shal- low coast natural changes would have | made the best of surv of that age| to_some extent obsolete. Discussing personnel questions, Col. Jones declared the Welch act was a “step in the right direction,” but that | “other and more liberal legislation | should follow.” “Higher pay for civil service person- nel,” he said, “is simply the logical solu- tion to the problem of increased effi- | ciency in the conduct of Government | business.” A comprehensive tide and current sur- vey of Chesapeake Bay was in progress ntt :he close of the fiscal year, the report states. Development Described. Reporting that eight of the survey’s | 13 ships are now equipped with echo sounding apparatus known as the fath- ometer, Col. Jones described this de- velopment as follows: “Echo sounding depends on the fact | that if a sound is produced under water, an echo will return from the bottom. By measuring the time interval required for a sound to travel from the hull of a ship to the ocean floor and return to | the ship, and multiplying by one-half the velocity of sound in water, the depth of the water is determined. *“Sound travels much easier and faster in water than in air. A sound made at the bottom of a ship will travel to the bottom of the ocean and back through a thousand fathoms; or a depth of more than a mile of water, in two and one- half seconds, the velocity of sound in water being about 4,800 feet per second. “By the use of the echo sounding ap- paratus, more than twice as much area per day can be surveyed than would be possible by any other known means. Soundings can be taken in any depths, from a few fathoms under the keel to 2,800 fathoms (16,800 feet). or more, whua the vessel is going ahead at full PLANS TO HONOR MISS ALICE DEAL Memorial Association Organized to Perpetuate Memory of Pioneer Teacher. Plans for perpetuation of the memory of Miss Alice Deal, pioneer in the de- velopment here of the junior high school system of education, were be- gun at a reorganization meeting of the Alice Deal Memorial Association last night at Wilson Normal School. The association will endeavor to have the proposed Reno Junior High School renamed the Alice Deal Junior Hign School, and will launch a campaign for funds to establish an annual scholar- ship to Goucher College to be known as the Alice Deal foundation scholarship. Last night's organization included the creation of a membership committee and subcommittee and a constitution committee. The membership committee includes Mrs. J. C. South, chairman; Mrs. Susie R. Rhodes, Miss Gertrude Young, Mrs. Arthur Veerhoff, Howard Safford, Mrs. Florence Cornell, Mrs. Agnes Kinnear and Mrs. Carol Smith. The membership subcommitte, com- posed of students, includes Mary F. Glenn, chairman; Beatrice Coles, Louise Babotka, Leslie Tracey and Adolf Turner. The constitution committee includes: J. C. South, chairman; D. E. Camp- bell, Walter Irey, Robert H. Harmon and Charles R. Connolly. Miss Deal was principal of Columbia Junior High School at the time of her death, last March. She was one of the foremost proponents of the introduction of the junior high school in the local | school system and her work in its m- terest is credited by school officials as being largely responsible for the suc- cess of the transition from the plan of eight years of elementary school and | four years of high school, to the system embracing six years of elementary work, three years of junior high school nndklhrce years of senfor high school | work, DR.
