greatly interested in the aeronautical ex-
hibit which Is to be held in conjunction
with the automobile show at Convention
Hall January "A. A number of local in
ventors have expressed their willingness
to lend their machines to the Aero Club
OF Washington to be placed on exhibit 1t
is also understood that number of inter-
esting exhibits may be borrowed from
the Smithsonian Institution.
Thomas F. Walsh. president OF the
Washington Aero 1iup, mas expressed a
deep interest in the proposed exhibit. and
said that 1t would unquestionahly be OF
great interest to Washingtonians. The
arrangement Of the exhibit will probably
be taken up by the clubs committee on
exhibits. of which Maj. Squier OF the
Signal Corps is chairman.
Mai. Squier said last evening that he
was not prepared until the committee
had met to say just what plans will be
made. The most interesting part of
the exhibit will be that people will be
able to get a close view of aeropanes
and study the different kinds of engines
used in developing the motive power for
driving the various machines through the
air.

MADE ITS LAST VOYAGE.
Hull of Two Master Lies on Shore
of Creek.

The two-masted schooner George w.
krebs, veteran of Chesapeake bay
fleet, has made its last voyage and its
huil is lying on the shores of St. Jerome
creek, Mi, for time and the elements TO
destroy. Several days ago, as the schoon-
er was on her way from Mill creek, Md,
TO Baltimore with cargo OF lumber,
She sprang a leak. The volume of water
coming into the vessel was more than
her pumps could cope with. and to save
her from sinking she was beached in
ST. Jerome's creek tug and lighter
were sent from Baltimore to float the
vessel but il was found that her bends
had started and the vessel was in such
condition as not TO be worth floating
The vessel was stripped of all fittings of
value, her cargo of lumber was removed
to the lighter and the old craft ADAM
doned.
The krebs was tifty-seven years DID,
having been built at Baltimore in 1872
and d vessel of sixty-tWo gross tons. She
was owned by William T. Gassage OF

AERO PRACTICE IN WINTER
ARMY MACHINE TO BE SENT
TO SOUTH.
Will Probably Go to San Antonio for
Use in Training Signal
Squad at Post.

With demand from various quarters
for a trained aeronautical squad the
War Department now proposes to trans
port the Wright aeroplane owned by the
government and now at Fort Myer to
some southern city, probably San An
tonic. Tex, in order to permit the Off
GERS to make ascensions during the winter
under suitable climatic conditions These
flights will begin in February. II the
plans looked upon with favor by the War
Department now are not upset by some
unforeseen circumstance. San Antonio is
preferred because of the army post at
that city.
It would be as late as May in all proba-
bility before flights could be made at
College Park. Md, the location Of the
field upon which Wilbur Wright trained
the Signal Corps officers this fall AS
there is only one machine possessed by
the government. it is desirable, in the
minds of army officials, to make as much
use Of 1t as possible.
Lieut.. Foulois In Charge.
Lieut.. Benjamin Foulos will have
charge of the flights in the south. He is
the only one OF the officers instructed by
Wilbur Wright now available for the
purpose. Lieut.. Lahm has gone back to
his regiment, and Lieut. Humphreys has
rejoined the Engineer Corps.
Flights in the south cannot be under
taken much earlier than February, even
if weather conditions are suitable, on ac-
count of repairs to the engine of the gov
eminent aeroplane. now being made at
Dayton. Ohio, by the Wright brothers.
One of the cylinders was broken at Col
lese Park. probably on the last flight
when Lieut.. Lahm came to the ground
with bump. The Wrights are going over
the entire apparatus, with view Of de-
termining and correcting the defects. This
work must be finished before any more
flights can be undertaken.

Help Aviation Meet.

Charles ]. Bell. member of the board
o: directors of the Aero Club, was also
greatly in favor of holding an exhibit.
He thought that 1t would increase the
interest taken In aeronautics and would
probably help Washington get the inter
national aviation meet.
Probably more aeroplane flights have
been made in the vicinity of washington
than in any other city in the United
States, and while almost everybody In
the District has seen aeroplane III
flight, very few people have seen either the
Wright or Curtiss btplanes at close range.
The only other city in the country where
aeronautic exhibits have been held is New
York. There the Aero Club of America
holds an annual exhibition In conjunction
with the automobile show, and that ex-
hibtt is one of the attractive features of
the automobile show.

DEFENSE OF THE SOUTH
ADDRESS BY DIRECTOR DAVE
OF COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.
Outlines Vast Resources Awaiting
Development and Tells Story of
Southern Progress.

There is something else south of Mason
and Dixon's line besides hookworms, re-
voting crimes and lynchings.
Take the word of G. Grosvenor Dave,
managing director of the Southern Com
nercial Congress. for the truth Of the
statement. He laid down the substance
OF this proposition at the beginning of
an address at the University Club last
evening, and then proceeded to present
his proofs.
In the introduction OF his address, he
declared the south is misunderstood be-
cause Of the character of publicity which
it has attained through newspapers and
magazine Stories Of crimes revolving
in their character and statements or
hookworm infection among millions in
the south, he said, have been sent broad
east, but the story of southern progress
in the last half century has not been
generally told.
Inventory of Resources.
Mr.. Dave told this story by presenting
brief inventory of the south's re-
sources. The gift Of temperature and
rainfall. he declared. is the supreme
blessing of that section. and he placed
this combination first on the list. No
region in the country, except small
area in the extreme northwest. he de-
clared. has SO great or so we'll distributed
rainfall as has the south. To- this Is
added long growing season and mild
temperature The effect of these gifts In
the development of water power and of
agriculture, he said, are apparent. Not
- per cent of the South's land is under
cultivation: not one-half of that possible
of cultivation is actually titled and used
for the raising of crops. wonderful
agricultural development, he predicted,
is therefore in store for the south.
Its coast line was the next resource
placed on the inventory list. This meas
ures. he said. 5000 miles-twice as
much as the Pacific coast Of the United
States and three times as much as the
middle Atlantic coast. Coast line, he de-
clares. means commerce, and the south s
coast line will be on the doorstep of
the. worlds commerce
Miles of Navigable Rivers
Navigable rivers were listed next. OF
the 26,410 miles of such streams in the
United States, he said, 1925 miles are
in the south.
To the inventory of resources was
added the Appal hian mountain sys-
tenn. 1t contain. he said, 10000 900
hydro electric no. sepower-nine times
as much Is has been harnessed in New
England In the development of this
power. he declared is the beginning Of
the most marvellous electrified area In
the world.
In its forests. too, the south Is rich,
according to the speaker. Over 40 per
cent of the forests of the country In
foot measurement, 1t was estimated, ia
in the south.
Dixie has also been endowed richly with
minerals. The iron deposits are vast he
pointed out, as is shown by the fact that
already the changing progress of several
southern cities is due to the development
of this resource. Coal. too. Is found in
abundance in the southland.
Manufactures to Be Built.
Following the agricultural and mining
development, it was declared, will come
