in THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, -1928. NEW SEA DEVICES RECEIVE APPROVAL Coast and Geodetic Survey Director Describes "EchoSounding" Process. Echo sounding through water and radio acoustic sound ranging were given "public presentation and official indorsem*nt" today by Col.
E. Lester Jones, director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, in his annual report to the Secretary of Commerce, describing their use coastal waters. These marvels of modern science, it and locate with the aid was explained, enable, ships to measure 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 accomplished, the survey expects further to broaden its activities 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 menstructionde and also through development under-water communication devices. The Atlantic Coast fleet next year will consist of four instead of three ships. Resurvey Needed. "There is need for completing a resurvey those Atlantic and Gulf Coast waters constantly traversed by coastwise shipping." declared Col.
Jones. "Present charts of the area are constructed largely from surveys made 60 to 80 years ago, based on the requirements of comparatively small sailing ships. Such charts are partly inadequate for modern deep steamers. In addition. on this comparatively shallow coast natural changes would have made the best of surveys of that age to some extent obsolete." Discussing personnel questions, Col.
Jones declared the Welch act was a "step in the right but that "other and more liberal legislation should follow." "Higher pay for civil service personnel," he said, "is simply the logical solution to the problem of increased efficiency in the conduct of Government business." A comprehensive tide and current survey of Chesapeake Bay was in progress at the 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 fathometer, Col. Jones described this development 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 onehalf seconds, the velocity of sound in water being about 4,800 feet per second. "By the use of the echo sounding apparatus, 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, while 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 development here of the junior high school system of education, were begun at a reorganization meeting of the Alice Deal Memorial Association last night at Wilson Normal School.
