BOILING FIELD new
AIR MAIL TERMINUS

Air mail between Washington and
New York will leave and arrive in
the future from Boiling field, the
new army aviation station on the
Anacostia flats.
The new field will have hangers
for fifteen planes, and will be used
as an experimental field by the army.
Il is but little farther by motor
truck from the city postoffice than
the Polo field in Potomac Park, from
which the service has been operat-
ing.
The Anacostia field IL much larger
and can accommodate greater
number OF hangers. II avoids the
necessity OF additional temporary
buildings on the polo field.

D. c. APPROPRIATION
MEASURE HELD Up
FOR $3.50 WHEAT.

Further controversy and delay de-
veloped in the Senate today over the
continuing resolution TO extend the
appropriation acts for the District
the War Department, and the Agri-
cultural Department.
Senator Martin called up the reso-
luton and tried to force II through.
One p0int he make for quick action
was that 1t was necessary to pay of
large number of District employees
tomorrow, and the District govern
ment was without funds.
$3.50 Wheat Measure.
Senators Norris. Gore and AcCum-
Der protested that nothing should be
done TO extend the agricultural ap-
preparation act OF last year until tho
House has an opportunity to vote on
the $3.50 wheat amendment to the
agricultural bill. which Is now in con
ference. They said that II the Senate
passed this resolution it would kiii
81 30 wheat
Senator McCumber suggested that
the resolution be passed. omittinS
the Department OF Agriculture, hut
Senator Martin would not consent to
this.
The result was that Gore and Nc
Cumbsr started a filibuster against
the resolution and there was a sharp
debate.
Supporters Of $3.50 wheat set out
to kill time until the House could
vote on a compromise on the wheat
question. However. 1t is not expected
there will be much delay in proyid-
ing funds for the District.
BrownIow At Capitol
District Commissioner Brownlow,
accompanied by Auditor Alonzo TVee-
dale, called on Senator Martin. chair
man OF the Senate Appropriations
Committee. today and urged that
speedy steps be taken to provide ap-
propriations for the District govern
ment
Mr. Brownlow Is eager, II the Dis
trict appropriation bill is not at once
passed. to have continuing resolu-
tiOn put through. The fact that the
summer schools are closed, and that
there II a large per diem pay roll to
meet tomorrow, are among the oondi-
tions which are embarrassing the
Commissioners.

To Take 1917 Lumber Census.

A census of the lumber production
of the country during 1917 Is to be made
by be Forest Service In cooperation
with the National Lumber Manufac
turers' Association, as in the past years.
Questionnaires have already been mailed
to the $4,000 sawmills throughout the
country asking that the amount of each
kind of lumber cut be reported prompt
ly.
It Ia pointed out by officials OF the
Forest Service that the lumber census
is Of particular Importance at this time
because of the large quantities OF special
material needed for the conduct OF the
war. Several of the government De
partments, they say, depend upon the
Forest Service for data and technical ad.
vice on subjects connected with lumber
Since the entry of the United States In.
to war, this demand has been greatly In.
creased. In many cases the informa-
tion gathered by the Forest Service ir
previous years has made 1t possible te
deter mine where certain classes OF ma
terial could be obtained 10 the largest
quantities and consequently has enabled
the Government to get In direct toucf
with the proper mills without loss oi
time.
Because OF unsettled conditions In tht
lumber trade in 1917, 1t has been some.
what difficult to judge the current pro
ductiop. Heavy calls for lumber made
bs the Government have been partially
Offset by transportion difficulties ano
scarcity Of labor. Officials say that Il
will require careful census to deter
mine whether the output was more ol
less than preceding years. They poin
out at the same time that the lumber
manufacturers can aid work materially
by filling out and returning promptly
the questionnsires that have been sent
them.
