Final check, weather device. Washington, D.C., Sept. 13. L.L. Stockman, also of the Bureau of Standards, Radium Division, uses a wave meter to check the radiometeorograph before attaching it to the parachute and the balloon. When the inflated bag breaks, which it usually does after several hours flying, the instrument is parachuted to the ground. Many times the instrument is found and returned to the bureau. The radiometeorograph contains two radio tubes, a miniature dry cell battery and devices which record and send the weather signals which, in turn, are recorded on a chronograph in Dr. Astin's bood [?] radio room.

New craze for idle-rich ... aerial golf. With not enough hazards in an ordinary game of golf, and not enough adventure in flying, some genius has invented aerial golf. The rules are quite simple. There are nine holes, each one an airport near Washington. The play flies to the first airport, tee #1 and from a minimum height of 500 feet, drops the ball, attached to a parachute, to the nearest pit or hole, indicated by a red flag at the airport. He then lands his plane, finds his ball and proceeds as in every game of golf, to hit the ball into the hole with his golf clubs. This done, he tunes up his plane and flies to the next airport or tee #2 and repeats. Every player is required to carry a score-keeper. Photo shows three girls, prominent in Washington Society absorbed in a game of aerial golf, they are (l to r) [...]
