|OHI0 GUARD OFFICER
QUALITIES AS AVIATOR
Lieut.. Col. Winder to Get
Military Pilots
License.

Lieut.. Col. C. B. Winder Of the Ohio
National Guard qualified for his military
pilots license at College Park yesterday
afternoon. He is the first Of the Ma
tional Guard officers to qualify as mill
tary pilot and henceforth will go on rec
ord in the Army Register as an available
reserve pilot. The requirements for the
military license are somewhat more ex-
acting than for the regular Aero Club
license The severity is in the endurance
and altitude flying.
Lieut.. Col Winder has been at the Park
for training several weeks, but has been
working with the Curtiss machine and
has not been able to get in many lessons
owing to the absence of the aviators
familiar with the Curtiss controls. Just
as he had become familiar with the ma
chine some changes were made in the
controls and he had practically to learn
them over.
The new weight-carrying Wright ma
chine that is waiting at the Park for
government acceptance has not yet made
the altitude test within the specified time.
This is the most difficult of the tests. 1t
is possible that the machine may have
to be changed in some details before 1t
can be accepted.

Buying Property South of the
Avenue for Government
Buildings Again Approved.

The purchase Of the land between
Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall, from
the Capitol to the Treasury, is once more
up to the House with the approval of

ings, and the Senate's action today was
reported to the House and the bill refer
red to the House committee on public

the failure Of the House to act The
project has the backing of many promi-
nent government officials.
Appropriation of SIS, 900, 900.
As passed yesterday, the bill appro-
PIRATES $15OO0,OOO for the land. which is
100000 more than the previous bills
carried. This increase was recommended
by the District Commissioners on the
showing that the land to be purchased

ago.
The increase in the appropriation will
be urged before the House committee as
reason for prompt action on the bill.
Delay, it Is held by those pushing the
project, means an advanced cost.
