...stream of settlers is changing the face of the country. Almost every Venezuelan town now has its Italian barbershop and restaurant, its German-speaking innkeeper. San Cristobal has a Russian photographer, Merida a Russian butcher. Near Turen, about 175 miles southwest of the capital, farmers from Andalusia, Tuscany and the Ukraine are tilling new lands cleared for them by government bulldozers. In time, Venezuela hopes, such immigrant pioneers may supply the eggs, fruit and other foodstuffs that the country now imports from...
...Marlborough House, London. At noon she rode in her green Daimler to Buckingham Palace for the customary birthday luncheon. All in all, it was a busy week. A few days before her birthday, she showed up at the Chelsea Flower Show at Royal Hospital, was helped across a muddy stream (see cut). The day after her busy birthday, she took in the Derby at Epsom Downs...
Meteorologists have known about the jet stream for a long time. Sometimes their sounding balloons get into it and are quickly whisked out of the range of their instruments. Apparently it is caused by an encounter between two air masses of different temperatures. Since the jet stream is narrow for a wind stream (seldom more than 100 mi. wide) and only some 5,000 ft. deep, it is hard to pinpoint exactly on a weather map. Airplanes flying high toward the west in the middle latitudes are apt to head into an uncharted jet stream and find their ground speed...
Today few airliners fly high enough to meet the jet stream, which seldom comes lower than 25,000 ft. But future airliners-especially the jets, which must fly high to save fuel-will have to take account of it. A battle with the jet stream can exhaust their fuel reserves. There is another reason for knowing where a jet stream is likely to be encountered: all fast-moving bodies of air are apt to be associated with turbulence which makes a 500 m.p.h. airplane bounce like a speedboat on a choppy...
...airline men at Asbury Park asked for more information about the roaring jet streams, but chances are that official meteorologists may not tell all they know. A few years ago, meteorology was a blameless business of predicting sunny days for picnics. Now it is deeply tied up with military interests. The first air power that learns to make accurate forecasts of the location, speed and direction of the jet streams will have a powerful ad vantage over its adversaries. A fleet of long-distance bombers riding on a stream could carry their bombs hundreds of miles beyond normal range...
