Interest in Carnival.
The question of the next aviation car
nival for Washington is absorbing the at
tention of the Baltimore contingent. ant
arrangements are being made for a meet

G. o. Totten and A. Leftwich Sinclair O.
Washington and members Of the Balti
more Aero Club, who are to go over tn,
various sites between here and Baltimore
Wilbur Wright says that College Parl
will be good place for the aviation NEE
when the cleared space is enlarged, bu
that there are number of other place:
around Washington equally good ant
equally accessible, so that IL there Is an,
hitch in securing the use Of College Parl
there Is no reason why some other sit,
should not be selected.
