LOOKS BRIGHT FOR THIS CITY
FAVORS WASHINGTON
FOR GREAT AVIATION MEET.
Directors of the Aero Club of
America Favorably Impressed
With National Capital.

1t looks more and more like Washing
ton for the international aviation meet of
1910. Thomas +. Walsh, the President of
the Washington Aero Club. and the chair
man of the joint committee from Wash
inston and Baltimore. which recently Wis
tied New York. returned to Washington
last night we'll satisfied with the result
of The trip. He said that. of course the
officials of the Aero Club of America
could not say offhand that the meet
would be held in Washington, but the
committee on the choice of a site is COM
ing down here within two weeks and
the decision probably will be made soon
after that The members of the board
Of directors of the Aero Club of America
did say that. although they had been in
favor Of Washington as the place for
holding the meet. they We're more favora-
ably impressed after hearing the adj
dresses of the Washington and Balti-
more committees at the dinner at the
Metropolitan Club.
Selection of Date of Meet
One thing that will have considerable
hearing on the case is the meeting of the
International Federation to be held in
Paris January TO- This meeting will fix
the dates for all of the big meets and it
is hoped that it will schedule the Amer
lean meet for early in June as that will
be the most favorable time for Washing
ton.
Ais" one of the great arguments in IA
vor of Washington from the viewpoint of
the Aero Club of America is the effect it
will have on the foreign aviators. At the
National Capital they will be able to
show off their machines, not only before
the President of the United States and
the members of Congress who make the
government appropriations for aeronau-
tics. but they will perform before the
naval and military attaches of all the
great powers they would be able to
do nowhere but in the capital. AS all of
the powers are on the lookout for heavier
than-air machines this is a chance the
foreign aviators will not want to overlook.
Preference of Other Clubs.
Another thing that will weigh with the
Aero Club of America as a matter of
policy in favoring Washington rather than
New York is that the clubs outside of
the latter city all favor WASHINGTON next
to themselves for the meet and the wishes
of the affiliated aero clubs of the coun-
try are something that the New York
members of the parent club will respect.
1t is claimed that as matter of cour-
tesy the Aero Club in New York would
have to favor one of the affiliated clubs
before itself, and when this consideration
is coupled with the fact that the choice of
a city outside of New York will have a
great effect on the attitude of the other
cities toward the New York organization
it is believed that this matter will be
seriously considered.
1t is felt now that New York and Wash
inston are about the only two cities to be
considered in the selection
Geographic and weather conditions put all
the clubs on the Atlantic coast out of
the running and between Washington and
New York this city has the greater nat
ural and official advantages.

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
VISIBLE HERE EARLY TOMOR-
ROW MORNING.
Begins at Gall AM, and Will Con-
clude at 1928 A.M.-Fair
Weather Is Predicted.

A pretty sky picture will be presented
to Washingtonians in common with citi-
zens of the United States at an early
hour tomorrow morning.
There will be a total eclipse of the moon
and the weather bureau predicts fair or
clear skies. so the conjunction will be
visible. The full moon is scheduled to
pass into the earth's shadow beginning
at II minutes past o'clock tomorrow
morning. The eclipse will become total
at IA minutes past ) o'clock. 1t will con-
clude the lunar performance at OBS
O'Clock, eastern time.
The beginning of the eclipse will be Wis
ible generally in North and South Amer-
ca and northeastern Asia. Its ending will
be visible generally in North America,
northwestern South America eastern and
northern Asia and Australia.
An Interesting Sight.
The eclipse will be observed through the
big telescopes at the Naval Observatory.
Astronomers do not attach as much i'm
portance to an eclipse of the moon as
they do to one Of the sun, but the sight
Is an interesting one and will repay those
who set their alarm clocks to awaken
them about o'clock tomorrow morning.
Dr. Frankenfield the Official forecaster
OF the weather bureau. predicts fair and
warmer conditions for the District tomor-
row despite diSa greeable predictions, ac-
cording to weather superstitions that an
eclipse of the moon is accompanied by I'M
pleasant meteorological conditions.
Ancient weather lore is credited with
saying: when the earth'S shadow is
cast full upon the face of fair Luna.

BRISK DEMAND FOR OYSTERS.
Vessel Masters Dispose of Cargoes at
Good Prices.

The demand for oysters i'm the shell
was more brisk in the last three or four
days than it has been at any time since
the oyster season opened, and. as con-
sequence, more than half the vessels
that were lying at the oyster wharf have
disposed of their cargoes at good prices
and have sailed for the Potomac oyster
beds to load back to this city before
freeze comes.
The good demand and the cool weather
combined has sent the prices of the BIZ
valves higher than they have been this
season. and this morning Potomac stock
was selling at from SOC to 6Oc Der. bushei
while bay stock commanded from Soc to
si.0O per bushel In consequence of the
Northwestern preventing the arrival of the
oyster-carrying fleet, there were less than
800 bushels ABOARD the half-doZen boats
lying at the wharf.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
TAXES IN INSTALLMENTS.
Assessor Proposes New Plan to Col
lect Alley Assessments

William =. Richards, assessor of taxes,
has recommended to the Commissioners
an amendment to the present law regard
ing tax sales, which will make it possible
for the District TO collect assessments
which will be levied for alley or highway
purposes in five annual installnents.
Eight per cent interest is mentioned as
a penalty for lax payment. Provision is
made for sale of property at the end of
five years ii assessment and accrued in
terest not Forthcoming.
The date of the confirmation by the
court of the assessment will be the first
day of the five years. if the proposition
becomes law.
Mr.. Richards said this morning that
he believed the amendment is necessary
because. under present arrangement. all
streets and alleys are provided for by a
special act in each case. and that none of
the acts provides for any specific form Of
collecting the assessments.
His proposal would cover all future
streets and alleys.
