There will be a joint meeting Of the
Washington and Baltimore committees
of the aero clubs from the two cities
held in the rooms of the Washington
club at the Union Trust building Monday
morning at IL o'clock. The meeting will
draft a formal letter to the Aero Club
of America asking what consideration
the two cities are to receive in the selec-
ton of place for the International AVA
ton meet and stating that the future
dealings of the clubs in the two cities
will depend on the attitude taken to-
ward this request
The Aero Club of America wants both
the Washington and Baltimore clubs to
renew their affiliation for the coming
year, but the members Of these clubs
say IL they are to be entirely ignored
in the selection of the coming aviation
field and in all other club business they
fail to see the value of continuing the
utilization.
There has been no action taken, by the
club on the death of Thomas Walsh,
the president of the Washington Aero
Club The individual members of Inc
club have merely left cards at the house.
There will be a meeting of the club at
a near date to draft resolutions Of re-
greet. There has been no move made
toward the selection Of q new president.

started swiftly to the ground. Willard
saw that he would be forced to strike the

landed head-on. The lifting plane of his
machine was shattered and he was
thrown out OF his seat, but escaped with
few slight bruises.
