Attention is called in the annual re-
port of the chief of the weather
bureau for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1915, to the desirability of estab-
lishing wireless methods of communi-
cation in those regions of the country
which are subject to floods and de-
structive storms. One of the first ef-
fect* of such disturbances is to cut off
communication by telegraph and tele-
phone at the very time when it is most
needed, and in a few rare case* it has
been possible to reach otherwise iso-
lated regions only through indirect
and roundabout communication by
wireless acencies. The general estab-
lishment of such means of communi-
cation seems to present the only way
in which complete interruption of
communication can be prevented, not
only for the purpose of disseminating
reports but also for the purpus© ot re-
ceiving knowledge of the forthcoming
weather conditions that is now dis-
seminated from Arlington and other
radio stations under the control of the
Navy Department. In addition to the
dissemination of warnings of destruct-
ive storms by wireless agencies, the
daily weather forecasts are being dis-
tributed in an experimental way in
this manner from three places in 1li-

That the fame of Texas products
