“PAGE EIGHT MUG LIQUOR DESTROYED AT ~~ CUSTOM HOUSE BOOZE WAS CAPTURED HERE SOMETIME AGO IN RAID “MADE; NO ARRESTS IN CASE : The. lot of liquor seized by the customs inspectors in a Buick Putdmobile some time ago, con- sisting of 156 quarts and several fiye-gallon demijohns, was de- stroyed by customs inspectors un- Mer the supervision of L. T. Bragassa, inspector in charge, at the custom house this forenoon. The total amount poured out was about sixty gallons. Since no ar- Test was made in connection with the seizure, and consequently ‘there could be no trial, the amount war ordered destroyed.

Forty 50-gallon barrels have been there about four years. And whiskey is not all that’s stored’there.

L. Munro says, and WEATHER BUREAU TO ASSIST IN AVIATION WORK APPROPRIATION MADE IN DE- FICIENCY BILL FOR MAIN- TENANCE OF MANY BAL- LOON STATIONS WASHINGTON, July 14.—In- eluded in the deficiency bill just passed by the 69th Congress is av appropriation of $75,000 for the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture for establishing and, mainiaining 21 additional pilot balloon stations at certain points along civil air- ways, including those operated by and for the Post Office Depart- ment. This bill supplements the Air Commerce Act approved May 20, 1926, (Public-No. 254-69th Congress) which specifies that it “shall be the duty of the Secre- tary of Commerce to make recom- mendations to the Secretary of Agriculture as to the necessary meteorological service” along civil airways. The deficiency bill also provides funds for the use of the Depart- ment of Commerce in connection with this work, and the two de- partments will cooperate.closely in carrying on the service. The Weather Bureau is to “furnish such weather reports, forecasts, warnings and advices as may be needed to aid the safety and efti- ciency of air navigation in the United States and above the high seas, and particularly along the civil airways designated by the Secretary of Commerce.” It will therefore “observe, measure and investigate atmospheric phenome- na and establish meteorological of- fices and stations.” The service desired is, first, in- formation as to current conditions, both surface and upper air, along the section of the airway over which flight is to be made; and second, a forecast as té conditions over that same route for the next 4 to 6 hours. In other words, a pilot wants to know what the weather and wind conditions are now at all points over which he is to fly, and as nearly as meteorol- ogists can tell him, what changes will occur during the time required for his flight. This time averages 3 or 4 hours, but is occasionally 5 or 6, when there is a strong head wind. Forecasts for longer per- ‘ods are not essential in aviation. {f a pilot is to leave at 2 for a 4- hour flight, a general forecast is- sued at 8 a. m. is of little use to him, what his experience has shown that he needs is information at 1.45 p. m. as to conditions then preyailing, and a prediction, based upon these conditions, for the next 5 hours. This means of course that observations will not be taken simultaneously at all points along an airway, but at varying times depending upon the aviation schedules. Special observations will be required of. surface and low level conditions, such as visi- bility, fog, squalls, thunderstorms, and other unfavorable phenomena. Wind direction and velocity and heights of clouds will be deter- mined by pilot balloon observa- tions.

A verdict of guilty was quickly returned and the woman was sen- tenced to life imprisonment, but it is probable that she will be sub- jected to sanity tests.
