BRITISH AIR FORCES
TO CONTROL BUREAU
LONDON, Aug. 21 (by mail).—Me
terological work of the British empire
is to be taken over by the royal air
force. Hitherto the study of the
weather has been the work of a num
ber of different departments, but the
increasing importance of aviation and
the essential part which meterologl
cal knowledge must play in its pro
gress, has brought about the change.
The air force has its own depart
ment already, and the others will be
j linked up with it. It eventually will
form a branch of the international
service which will study wind and
weather all over the world.
