That the domi nant race of the future must of neces-v -xsity live in , America on acccount of : aitmospheric -conditions was the decfa. ration of Prof. Willis S. Moore, chief ' " of the Weather Bureau in an address before he College Club of this city. ' Professor Moore said the northwest ern part of this continent was the i breeding place of storms and that from that region northwest winds swept uninterrupted over the land. t These winds he said were loaded with , purest ozone, which gave to the peo- .,:;" pel a physical energy and mental stimu his not found elsewhere. "With-such a race of people and with our great wealth, America must be the arbiter of the world's fate," he said. "The wealth of this country will soon be so large that it will stagger .. i the imagination. If left uncontrolled and -permitted to accumulate in a few hands it will produce a false civilization. ''Our people must solve the great problems that confront the World. They must be the great force for good in the world. Our climatic conditions4 are such that we could not escape that responsibility if we would." Discussing the work of his departs ' ment in mapping out the, sky and reading the eluods and winds for signs, Professor Moore said that by the aid of meteorological kites the air lanes would be mapped out, air pockets discovered and sudden atmospheric changes recorded so that the science , of aviation would be greatly advanced.' "Within 25 years we will fly more danger warnings' on land for the guid 1 a nee of air crafts than, we do now along; ' -the seacoast for the protection of ves-i - , sets," he said, in speaking, of the ad' ' vances .that would be made in aviation. "I believe the time is coming when. , passengers will be placed in aluminum , , cases that will be attached to aero planes of special construction, 'which' . , will have a velocity of 300 miles an hour. It is more than possible that -within the next 50 years you majr eat breakfast in New York and have your afternoon tea in London." , He defended the predictions of the , -Weather Bureau and explained the "' , mjstakes that are occasionally made. 1 He said that after studying the records' , -; for several years he was willing to admit that the bureau was wrong on an average of once out of every ten pre dictions. This was as accurate Jbie said, as could be "made with the pre sent methods. V , " v .
