century.
The estate has been in the Pickford
family for years. unoccupied except for
an occasional short period. and had
been allowed to deteriorate to an alarm
ing degree when the organizers OF the
new club first inspected 1t and real
lied the opportunity afforded there for
an imposing club estate They bought
the hous. and grounds and turned loose
an army Of painters. decorators, and
renovators, and the results Of their
handiwork are seen on every side.
The clubhouse is within three blocks

four blocks from the Washington-Bal-
timore pike.

SUMMER DWELLINGS
FOR NUNS STARTED
about $4,000, 900 Due to Be
Spent by Various Orders for
Homes at BrookIand.

A unique community has been started
- the District with the breaking Of
. ound. near the Catholic University,
n the erection of residences for the
Isters of st. Mary. of Lockport, n. "
nd another for the Sisters of Divine
Trovidence. of San Antonio. Tex. These
rrsidences are being constructed for the
c ,cupation of those who attend the
summer school of the Catholic Uni
ersity. in the future. 1t is estimated
tnat every one of the twenty-five or
thirty orders of nuns who attend the
school will soon start to build houses
for their members attending the sum-
nler school.
When the village is completed, it is
estimated that il will represent In I'M
Iroyements more than $5,000,00O. 1t Will
cover a tract of fifty-seven acres, and
will accommodate about 1000 student
nuns.
The site touches the Catholic Uni
ersity on the northeast. and is sepa-
Iated from it bv- the Metropolitan
ranch of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. The proposed projection of the
Mcmillan boulevard would run along
he northern border of the grounds, and
he Sisters Collge grounds would bound

vail in the construction of the resi-
dences. while the Italian renaissance

thing to cain.
Had we persisted in starting IN
August. as originally planned, we
would have had to have added con-
siderable weight to the weakened hull

much prefer to rebuild the bottom OF
the boat and add to the planning fins
at the same time -,
the necessary loads. The last flight in
dicates that 1t will be much more
economical in regard to fuel consump-
tion to run the third engine throttleo

We shall make some further tests
with fuel consumption after the boat
has been oompleted.

.SPURNED RICHES FOR
MAN SHE NOW SUES
Mrs. Marie Tudor Garland
Green, Who Married "0nIy

BOSTON, July 26.-Although it was
hut two years ago that she gave up
rhe income from an estate of 10000
200 left her by her first husband, de-
Claring she was doing it for "love," /"
Mrs. Marie Tudor Garland Green now
is seeking divorce from the man she
married at that time. He is Francis
e. Green. of New York. who was su-
perintendent Of the big estates of
James Garland. the former husband of
Mrs. Green, at Bourne.
Il am marrying for love; money
isn't everything, and love is. or pretty
nearly everything" Mrs. Green is
quoted as saying just before her we'd
ding at the Buzzards Bay estate in
1912. The ceremony was performed
with a few relatives and the five chill
tlren of Mrs. Green present.
A statutory offense is alleged in her
divorce libel. The case will go to
-r'al in September. Green is in New

mas taken IWlSIS
IN the life of Mrs. Green. After mar
vino her first husband. James A.
Garland of Brookline. in 1893, she OBJ
lined a divorce from him in 1901 for
fidelity. after one of the most SEN
sational trials in the local divorce rec
'-ds. Three wears later. in 1904, she
emarried Garland. and they lived hap
I!lv until his death.
In his will GaIand gave the in
'ome of his estate to his widow, which
IJHhe was to have permanently, unless
ele married again. in which case most
q, il reverted to their five children.
IN spite of this her wedding to Green
Flowed. and il was understood to be
genuine love match. Both declared
7ev intended to spend their lives in
ne quiet home atmosphere of the

me. but one day they sailed for Eu-
zone.
They did not return together.
Mrs. Green was Miss Mary Tudor,
sister Of Frederick Tudor of Need

Ter sisters are Mrs. Frederick c. Con-

Oper-OceanF Flight
Porte and Curtiss Emphasize Fact That Postpone
ment to October Does Not Mean That Attempt
to Cross Atlantic Will Be Abandoned

Posponement of the attempt to cross the Atlantic in
1.-THE rboat America until October does not mean that the
flight will be abandoned Both Lieut. John Cyril Porte,
who is to pilot the America and Glenn H. Curtiss her
builder are emphatic this point in interviews at Ham,
mondsport N Y. Curiss, especially, made clear that
delays in completing the construction of the America alone
forced him to abandon the attempt to send the machine
Iaway on its flight in August He reluctant to submit
tc the postponemen but decided was necessary to do
iIstire tn the craft and Lieutenant Porte.
The Washington times., 1914-07-26

Lieutenant Porte seid after the de-
cision was made:
Time has overtaken us. The cumu-
lative, but to be expected. delays In
completing the construction, OF the
America led her builder to take the
situation into his own hands and an
nounce that he would not attempt long
er to have the airboat ready for ship
ment to Newfoundland next Saturday.
This compels the postponement or the
transatlantic fight until October, but
l cannot impress too strongly that there
is no intention of abandoning the flight
this year. -.
TT is a bitter disappointment to all
of US. but I concur in Mr.. Curtiss' opin-
icn. and / can only express my appre-
citation of his motives in taking this
stand. for there is no doubt We could
not have got the machine away for
flight in August with conscientious re-
gard for all the factors essential to
success.
Porte Increases Chances.
by postponing the fight We shall
greatly increase the chances of win
ming, because, by rebuilding the bot
tom of the hull, the results of a
months experiments can be embodied
in the reconstruction.
I'VE agreed, after reckoning up the
results of last nights fuel tests, that
the third engine would better be elimi-
mated for fuel economy. With the time
now available for rebuilding. Mr.
Curtiss- believes the hull can be con-
structed so that the full TRANSATLANTIC
load can be lifted out of the water with
two engines tuned up to maximum
efficiency He announced last night
that he plans to have the hull rebuilt
fr-;a nj in annfhPr
For this work the America will be dis.
mantled and the hull taken from the
aviation field to the Curtiss shops

In announcing the postponemen
Glenn Curtiss said:
In view of the enforced delays,
think il best We should discontinue ou
efforts to rush the America to com
pletion for shipment on August j. b.

be possible, but do not think 1t woult
be fair to Lieutenant Porte or TO th'
machine. During the last three week!
of experimental work the hull has beer

built e we have time to do this prop

suggested by the numerous hydroplaa'
experiments and greatly Improve th'
craft in several important details.
1T seems TO me foolhardy to jeopar
die the success of the transatlantic
attempt by starting out with any les
than the most nearly perfect machine
we can turn out. and, in, view of th'
fact that Lieutenant Porte does no
wish to start from Newfoundland be
tween August 10 and October 1. I ad-
vised postponing the start until the lat

This official declaration Of fat
ness or "thinness"-whicheve you
wish to call it-accuses the manu-
facturers of the leading fat-reducing
cures of using an old trick dressed
up in new clothes, to deceive fat
people into spending money for
worthless and dangerous prepara-
tons"
All, and it is vanity which causes
the portly to have inclination to
leave the ranks Of the avoirdupois.
The Governments authorities say so.
They declare. that vanity, ard, in a

Distracted Helens of Avoirdupois
, and males Of inflated aspect simply
drove the Department of Agriculture
to experimentation. As the layers Of

despairing ones, they made the au-
thorities of the department niser-

Finally the worry became unbear-
able for the Government officials.
A series of tests were begun with
number of the remedies adver-
tised by the anti-fat agents. En-
ployes of the department who were
covered with more flesh than neces-
sary were taken as subjects.
One of the most widely adver-
tised prescriptions for reducing
flesh was tried for a period of six
months. The result was that two
of the subjects under experimental
ton were obliged to stop after TAX
ing the medicine for two or three
weeks because of its injurious ef-
fects. And this probably is more
disheartening to hear-the third sub
ject gained two and one-haf pounds
instead of losing flesh.
