AVIATION PARKS SOON TO BECOME:
 REAL NECESSITY
Use of Aeroplanes for Com
 mercial Purposes Dawning.

| In the very near future it will be necessary to set aside certain land in or adjacent to every city of any conse. quence where aeroplanes may lard, for the growth of aeronautics promis- es to make the aircraft a popular means of conveyance of passengers, mail and express packages.
 Needless to say, those cities which do not provide suitable landing places for aircraft will not reap the beneii's nor be ranked among the progressive communities of the country.
 Considering that we have aeroplanes capable. of travelling at speed of 125 miles an hour, others capable of lift ing fifteen tons, and that developments in aeronautics proceed at a tremen- dous pace we must admit that the aerodrome is as logical an institution in a city as the railroad station, and may become as crowded as the av- craze railroad station within ten years. It all depeneds on how fast aerodromes are established through out the country, because aerodromes are to the air craft what the rail is to the train, the good road is to the au- tomobile and ports are to ships. Already the postal service of this country is considering the advisabil- ity of carrying mail by aeroplanes and this factor alone should make the es- tablishment of aerodromes in cities throughout the country most neces- sary.
 Aerodromes for the use of cities
 should have an area of between 200
 and 300 acres and be on flat open
 fields. They should be equipped with
 hangars, gasoline and. other supply depots, and the name of the city
 should be shown in white letters about fifty feet in length, so as to be plainly
 visible to flyers, while at night, the
 fields will have to be suitably illum- mated.

E. WASHINGTON
 AVENUE BRIDGE
 EXPENSES JUMP
Commission Asking More Than S25,G00 Over Price
 Agreed In Contract.

The new East Washington avenue bridge will cost nearer $16O,OOO than $130,000 as originally planned. 4 bond issue for the latter sum has been passed.
 The bridge commission having con- tracted for $130,oO0 worth of work with Edward Devoe Tomkins, Inc, of New York city, has now sent to the board of apportionment acquisition for s25,765 additional for items omitted in the contract"
 The proposed comfort station and float for boats are two of the items omitted in contract" It is estimated they will cost s12,377. Extra work in the foundation is estimated to cost $5,00o; trolley arches, SLIGO; Strauss barrier, $3,000; additional engineering fee, $1,2S8; inspecting service, $2,400; secretary's services, $6OO
 These additional items will bring the cost of the proposed bridge up to $155,765. The members of the com mission could not get a bridge for the price of the bond issue and were advised by City Attorney Comley and City Auditor Heating that they could not contract for more than they had the amount of the bond issue. They therefore Topped off the items men, toned with the understanding with the contractor that they could be added at the same unit prices, when they could raise the additional money. Now they are asking the board of apportionment for this additional sum and the prospect is it will be granted as the members of the tax board desire to see the bridge built speedily as possible.
 Recently the contractor endeavor- ed to get an additional s15,000 over the contract price because of the in- creased cost of material and delay in receiving it. He also made a proposi- tion to provide for $60,000 a tenn porary bridge while the other bridge is building.
 The commission has turned down these propositions and has insisted that the contractor leave the old East Washington avenue bridge until the new Grand street bridge is fin- ished.

CONVOYs FOR MERCHANT SHIPS

 Great Britain with far greater does not attempt the task of conveying merchant ships.
 Should large number of merchant vessels be assembled under naval protection the entire fleet might be shining for submarines which would find favorable field for torpedo activity among the clustered ships.

 many cities, particularly along the seacoasts and in certain other sec lions. to be provided with suitaole anti-aircraft equipment, chiefly III the way of guns, armored aeroplanes searchlights, listening towers ana wireless stations, for their defence against possible aerial invasion.
 There are more than four hundred armored aeroplanes and anti-aircraft o,ns within a. radius of one hundred miles of London, and it will be a wise move to afford every American city on or within three hundred miles or the seacoast similar equipment.
 The flying range of aeroplanes has advanced so rapidly that alrcrart launched from vessels far at sea might easily carry on. work of oe- struction in cities on or near the coast
 The success of aircraft in their raids during the great war abroad ana the extensive means being taken to pro- feet against these raids afford les son that may we'll be taken advantage of in this country before such time arrives, if it does, when there will be little or no time in which to prepare along suitable lines of defense. NJ
 The laying out of. aerodromes near all large cities and the providing Of suitable equipment to guard against invasion by hostile aircraft are both attracting the attention of the federal authorities and all who are interested in aviation, defence and progress.

Col. Harper's Efficiency.

When 1t comes to executing real big
jobs Col. Robert N. Harper is assured
ola position at the top of the heap.
The closing Of the Confederate Vet
erans' Reunion but tends to en-
phasize the efficiency OF Col. Harper
as q promoter OF comfort for giant
sized assemblages.
With but q few brief months since
he had taken many laurels to him,
self through his handling OF the in
auguration ceremonies. Col. Harper
has in the Confederate reunion estab-
lished beyond a doubt that he is one
of the best men ever selected for the
position Of chairman.
Staging the Confederate reunion was
not such a simple task as many
who have watched the old soldiers in
gray would imagine. Preliminary ar
rangements had been made for q
crowd which had been literally es-
timated. Had the numbers attending
but lived up to these estimates, the
task Of handling them would have
been a difficult one, but the number
Of visitors to the Capital during the
past four days has been nearly double
that which had been estimated.
A less stauncher spirit than Col
Harper would have been buried under
the detail of arrangements, but with
the assistance Of a well chosen COM
mittee. Col. Harper overcame al
obstacles. and those who journeyed tC
Washington from the Southland will
take back to their homes tales Of the
competency Of Col Harper and his as,
sistants.

Some insight into the actual meas

the announcement that the concen-

The signifcanee Of this cannot be

Of those enormous reserve resources
