AERoNAUTICS In LIMELIGHT.
Passage OF Hill Providing for Com
mission Arouses Interest.


Navy aviators have done much toward
making aviation safer by their expert
ments with automatic stabilizing devices,
and the resulting simplificstions in the
Dutre stabilizer. This improved stabil-
izer. which depends for its action on the
pressure of air gusts on planes attached
for the purpose, and the Curtis gyro-
scopic stabilizer will be tried out by the
Navy Department in the near future.
Stabilizers have given great satisfaction
in France, where they have been tested,
and ii is felt by all interested in avia-
ton that such devices will soon come into
general use.
Much interest is being shown in avta-
ton circles in the meeting OF the Aero
dynamical Commission in this city on
January q The commission was recently
appointed by President Taft to consider
the establishment of an aeronautical in
stitution in Washington. a resolution
providing 500 for the expenses of the
meeting has been passed by the Senate
and is expected to be acted on faroraoly
by the House tomorrow.
While the army aviation appropriation
will be 10000. the same as last year,
no figure has been arrived at for the
navy appropriation for aviation work.
Naval aviators are anxious to have the
necessity for specific appropriations done
away with. and the amount OF navy
funds to be used left to the discretion or
the Secretary OF the Navy.

BALL QUESTION
CAUSES SPLIT
Members Of Congress Divided
Into Three Groups-Some
Approve Others Do Not.
GOV. WILSON IS SCORED
Saws the President-elect Should Have
Spoken Sooner-Plan Aoot
for Capital Reception.

Members of Congress have been d.
vided into three groups by the action
of President-elect Wilson In calling of
the inaugural ball. The first group con-
sists of those members who oppose the
action of Gov. Wilson In abandoning
the ball. These members claim that IL
is outrageous to think OF abandoning
the ball at this late date, Representa-
tive Estopinal Of Louisiana yesterday
said:
IF President-elect Wilson had any
idea of calling OF the inaugural ball,
he should have done so long before
now. II is unfair to the men who for
weeks have neglected their business to
make preparations in order that IT
might be a success. He should consider
the feelings of the people of Washing
ton who have their hearts set on attend
ing the inaugural ball"
The second group OF members consists
of the members who were opposed to
holding the ball in the Pension Office.
They are glad President-elect Wilson
has taken steps to prevent II, for many
Democrats hostile to the plan have
been saved the embarrassment of having
to vote against the resolution permit
ting the use Of the Pension Office for
a Democratic inaugural.
Plan Big Reception.
They maintain that to hold the ball
in the Pension Office would retard the
work there at least a month, and as
the bureau already is nine months be-
hind in its work, IL would be folly to
further hinder the business of the Office
Among the members who belong to this
group are Representatives Langley,
Rouse. and Sheriey Of Kentucky, Raker
Of California, and Sisson OF Mississippi
The third group consists of those MEM
bers who are in favor of abandoning the
inaugural ball and holding in its place
a monster public reception at the Cap
itol In support OF their plan they con-
tend that comparatively few Americans
have ever seen the Capitol illuminated at
night. and that a reception there would
not Inconvenience the business Of the
country. They point out that the entire
Capitol could be easily put at the dis
posal OF the public. The Presidential
party could receive in the rotunda, and
n promenade could be held in the halls
of the Capitol extending from wing to
wing They also propose throwing open
both of the Chambers of Congress, and
argue that many people would find en-
joyment in sitting in the galleries and
watching the throngs below. This plan
was originally proposed by James Pres
ton. superintendent OF the Senate press
II has been taken up by a num-
Der of Congressman who intend pressing
IL for consideration.

FIGHT FOR BABIES.
First Bulletin Issued by Federal
ChfIdren's Bureau.

One hundred and fifty thousand babies
might be saved from death in this coun-
try IL there were proper registration laws
in all the States, according to the first
publication OF the new Federal Childrens
Bureau. published yesterday.
THE United States is now losing 300.-
900 babies a year" said Miss Julia La
throp, chief Of the bureau, in her report.
and experience has demonstrated that
half of those might be saved IL the sim
pie methods already known to science
could be brought to bear. To apply these
methods. however. Il Is necessary to have
good statistics and an immediate report
of every birth. Without these 1t is prac-
tically impossible to reduce the high rate
of infant mortality. Immediate notifica-
ron OF births Is necessary SO that the
babies born under adverse conditions
may be sent the assistance which may 50
readily be given by the health authori-
ties, visiting nurses, or other agencies"
