TO NAIL AERO MEET
Joint Committee to Plan for
Securing Carnival.
MEETING THIS AFTERNOON
Col. J. H. Joyce to Present Attitude
of Baltimore.
RECEPTION TO GLENN CURTISS
College Park Site Acceptable to
Monumental City, Which Has
Organized Aero Club.
RECEPTION TO GLENN CURTISS

In the Office of Charles J. Bell this
afternoon the joint committee of the
Washington Aero Club and the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce will assemble
to plan the next moves to secure the in
ternational aviation carnival for Wash
ington.
Another matter to be talked over will
be the proposed reception to Glenn Cur
tiss on his arrival here from New York.
Business men of Baltimore also wish to
entertain him. The affair will be ar
ranged with reference to his convenience.
One of the visitors who probably will
be present at the meeting will be Col.
Jerome H. Joyce of Baltimore, president
Of the newly formed Baltimore Aero Club.
He wants to talk with the Washington
business men in a firm but fatherly way,
and point out what they must and must
not do If they expect the help of Balti-
more in getting the aviation carnival In
this neighborhoOd.
There has been suggestion made that
Potomac Park would be better place to
hold the meet than College Park. The
Baltimore promoters, at a meeting held
yesterday. announced that they had de-
cided on College Park, and that If Wash
ington did not want to cooperate with
Baltimore in getting the meet at that
point Baltimore was perfectly capable OF
going 1t alone to secure the meet for
herself in Baltimore.
Guaranteed Subscriptions.
The question of getting up subscrp-
ton guarantee list will also be discussed
The Joint committee of the Aero Club
and the Chamber of Commerce has been
interested in the energy displayed by Bal
timore business men who recently formed
q permanent organization to work for
getting the aviation carnival near WASH
ington.
Something of the sort may be done
here. At least the finance committee will
be able to learn about how much ready
money can be depended on from Wash
ington toward getting the meet in this
city.
Baltimore now has regularly organized
aero club. 1t was formed at meeting
held in Mayor Mahoo:'s Office yesterday.
There was a citizens meeting in the
morning. at which general plan of cam
paign to capture the carnival was out
lined, and the committees appointed to
conduct details of the work and to obtain
cooperation of business men and others
whose help was needed.
In the afternoon there was second
meeting, at which was discussed the for
nation of the Baltimore Aero Club. 1t
was not long before roll OF fifty men,
bers was secured. all influential men
either directly interested in aeronautics or
anxious to get the aviation carnival for
Baltimore and Washington for business
purposes.

of directors, Mayor Mahool and Messrs.
Hughes. Pattison. Able and Riggs.
1t was decided to hold a mass meeting
at the first branch of city council cham
Der. October Z. At this meeting 1t is
expected there will be present representa-
tives of $50 different bodies, all ready
to work toward securing the aero meet
for Baltimore and Washington.
One of the first acts of the new aero
club was to file an application for affilia-
ton with the Aero Club of America. SO
that Baltimore will be In a position to
treat for the meet on the same footing as
Washington, though it is hoped that the
efforts of the two cities will be har-
monious.
1t has been decided that as soon as
the committee for selecting the site OF
the next carnival is named by the Aero
Club o. America the Baltimore commit
tee will send private car to New YORK
and escort the committee to Baltimore
and Washington and show them College
Park and other possible sites, and give
them an outline of what Washington and
Baltimore are willing to do to secure the
meet. i d.
Aeroplane Builders to Unite
There will be a meeting in the assembly
hall of the Washington Y. NJ c. A. on
the evening of October IL, for the
organization Of an aeroplane builders
club. This matter has been tentatively
discussed for some time. If the inventors
who are interested in actual work can
get together. it is believed they win be
able to accomplish more than they have
yet done working apart. :
There are about fifteen men in WASH
ington who have already stated their
willingness to join. The protector Of the
organization is E. II. Young. who has
done considerable experimenting in the
aerial line.
1t is planned to give lectures of a
more or less technical sort. From sug-
gestions made, it is believed there will
be no difficulty in securing some of the
best men in this line to do the talking.
One of the other objects will be to
establish a reference library. Such books
as are too expensive to be kept by the
club itself will be obtained from one or
the other of the Libraries.
There is a large amount of aeronautic
literature in the libraries of the War
Department, Navy Department, the Smith
sonian Institution and the Library of
Congress. 1t is aimed to keep at least
a catalogue of these publications and
their respective locations. so that the
workers may easily refer to them.
1t is not intended to take advantage
of the ideas that any individual membe
is holding to be protected by patents.
1t is thought, however, by certain
pooling of ideas it will be possible to
build at least one experimental machine
for the society.
