with the consent Of the Baars family,

The church building and the ground
on which it stands are now entirely
free from debt, an Indebtedness of
about $40, 900 having been paid in the

Christ church is one of the hand
soonest sacred edifices in the South,
and was built during the rectorship
of the late Percival H. Whaley.
Architecturally it follows somewhat
the lines of the old Spanish missions
of California, Mr.. Whaley having
this style of architecture in mind
when the plans were chosen, consid-
ering it peculiarly fitted to Pensa-
cola.
The late John Sutcliffe of Chicago
was the architect of the church,
which was accepted by the parish in
April, 1908, the building having cost
about twenty-five thousand dollars.

aero CLUB urges
AIR station HERE
Replying to Chamber Of Com
merce Invitation, Suggests
Local Aviation Body.
MILITIA FLIERS NEEDED
Fund of $4,000 for Prize Money De-
clared Necessary for Project-Big
Plane Due Here Today.

Replying yesterday to the Washington
Chamber of Commerce's invitation to
make the National Capital a control
station in the transcontinental race, the
Aero Club of America suggeste that
Washington should organize a local Aero
Club an raise $4,000 prize money. Henry
Woodhouse, of the board of governors.
outlined a constructive program for de-
velopment of aeronautical interest in the
Capital. The Washington station could
cooperate effectively with the National
Aerial Coast Patrol Commission. of which
Rear Admiral Peary is chairman.
In part the letter of the Aero Club to
the Washington Chamber of Commerce
follows:
There are at the present time thirty
aero clubs located in the leading cities
of the country, affiliated with the Aero
Club of America. These clubs are rem
dering valuable assistance in fostering
the development of aeronautics and Sc
curing adequate aerial preparedness in
this country. An increase in the number
of such clubs means an increase in the
effectiveness of this vitality important
work.
Important work is awaiting your club
work which has a military aspect, and
which would result. we believe in inter
esting sportsmen and business men in
the work OF the militia.
Suggestions in Letter.
Briefly. some of the work that could
be done right away would be:
Il. Establish an aviation station in
Washington. making it the control of the
transContinental aeroplane competition,
which starts from New York on Septem-
ber 21
%. Cooperate in organizing an aviation
detachment for the District of Columbia
militia. The Navy Department has de-
cided to supply hangers. gas, oil and re-
pairs for militia aeroplanes. Therefore
the cost for Upkeep will be small.
IS. The aeronautical map and landing
place committee of the Aero Club of
America. of which Rear Admiral Robert
E. Peary is chairman. would be glad
to cooperate with your club in the work
of making an aeronautical map of the
District. Things in aeronautics are be-
ginning to develop at great speed, and
1t will not be long before aeroplanes are
used generally. An aeronautical map,
with suitable landing places for aero
planes at convenient intervals, will make
1t possible for sportsmen to fly aero
planes for general purposes with less in
convenience than they experience in driv-
ing motor boats.
-. The club could take steps to es-
tablish station Of the aero coast patrol
system, which has been approved by
President Wilson and Secretary Daniels -
The 1Oo-mile-an-hour Curtiss aeroplane
that flew from Newport News to New
York last Saturday in four hours and one
minute will be piloted from Sheepshead
| Bay to Washington today. weather being
| favorable 1t will be retained here a
few days. serving possibly as a prepared
ness object lesson for Congress. II
will then be shipped to the border Of New
Mexico for scout and patrol duty.
