CALL HOTEL MAIDS
IN DIVORCE SUIT
Lady Carbery VIII Ask Brit
ish Peers to Dissolve
Her Marriage.

LONDON, Oct Testimony by
hotel chambermaids in Paris will play
an important part in the latest di-
vorce case in high Iife-the suit en-.
tered at Dublin by Lady Carbery, wife
Of Lord John Evans-Freke Carbery, a
celebrated Irish nobleman. The testi.
mony. which is being taken by a com
mission in the French capital. will not
be made public, however.
A bill for the dissolution Of the
marriage will be presented in the
House Of Peers after Parliament con-
venes IN October %.
Sir Charles Russell, attorney for
Lady Carbery, in moving the appoint
ment Of the commission to take testi-
mony, said that evidence was wanted
from q Spanish chambermaid, a
French chambermaid and a Swiss
hotel porter. The couple have been
living apart and there is one child
TO the marriage.
Lord Carbery, who Is twenty-seven
years old, served in the royal naval
air service and was injured in a fly
ing accident in Belgium in September,
1914 He was the first British peer
to ny across the English channel.
Lady Carbery. before her marriage,
was Miss Jose Metcalf, Of London.

u. S. Would Be Helpless
In Air In Another War,
Says Brig. Gen. FouLOiS

quired in each and they should be 90
constructed that they could easily be
equipped with guns"
General FouIois outlined to the
committee a plan 70 encourage the
manufacture Of commercial planes.
He said that the Government, In is
suing permits for their manufacture,
could specify that while they were
built primarily for commercial pur-
poses, they must conform to a fixed
standard that would make them read
lily convertible for war purposes. This
is the plan in operation today in Eng
land, France and one or two other
European countries.
Let the Government say, You can
build as many commercial planes as
you wish. If you build them Of a type
we specify General FOulois said.
Members or the committee asked
General Foulois, who saw service in
France. how many planes the United
states had an service at2the Close Of
the war.
When the armistice was signed,
General FoulOis told the committee,
America had twenty squadrons Of
American fliers at the front About
500 planes were assigned to them, or
about twenty-five to a squadron.
General Foulois was one OF the
original army filters. He was chief
OF the A. E. F. air service during the
war, and his thorough knowledge Of
aviation brought him rapid promotion
after America entered the war.
The Washington times., 1919-10-07

Consolidation under one head Of the
army and navy aviation stations al
Boiling Field and the creation Of q
central department OF aeronautica
was recommended before the House
Military Affairs Committee yesterday
BY Brig. Gen. BLY,. B. Foulois. for the
past ten years connected with avia-
tion Ia this country.
The greatest obstacle TO the de-
Velopment OF aviation fn this coun-
try" General Foulois said, sis the
lack Of teamwork between the army,
the navy and the PostoGice Depart
menE Each o. trying 20 hide from
the other what steps they are taking
with the result that they are working
at cross purposes"
At the present time Congress
makes several different appropria-
tions for aviation. General Foulois
recommended that q lump sum ap-
prop1iaticn De made for aviation to
be administered by one head.
Lack of Co-ordinutiOn.
At Boiling Field both the army and
the navy have air stations. There is
no coordination between the two.
The same condition exists at San
Diego and Hawaii General FoulOis
said
General Foulois attacked the gen
eral star for the manner In which
sentiment was had on the subject Of a
bill 70 create a department Of avia-
ton as q distinct new branch Of the
Government
Fifty telegrams were sent to as
many officers asking their opinion on
the subject OF a department Of avia-
ton Only two Of these went to prac-
tical flying officers, General Foulots
said The others were sent to in
fantry and artillery officers who
knew nothing Of aviation.

''EEactIy." said General .FouIois.
He agreed with BHgadisr General
Mitchell, former director OF military
aeronauticG, who testified earlier IN
the day, that America Is dsfenseless
against aerial attack from q foreign
enemy.
"HoW are you going to remedy this
situation. when there is 50 little de-

man KeaFns.

Germany, which had seized the terri

Pine Built Like a cornet.

A tobacco pipe Of unusual design
has been invented by Warren Murray
Baechtel of Hagerstown, Md. Every
pipe smoker knows that the longer the
stem of his pipe the cooler will be the
smoke. Pipes with stems a few feet
long have been In use in different
countries for many years, but thelr
awkward length precluded their use
outside of the house. The inventor OF
the pipe circumvented the difficulty by
coiling the stem Of the pipe like the
tube of cornet or signal horn. The
coils are connected at their lower end
to form dripping chamber for receiv-
ing the saliva which accumulates In
the stem. Each coil has an !ndepend-
ent opening into the dripping chamber
and a screw cap at the bottom gives
access to it for the removal OF the
accumulated saliva. The smoke, In
passing through the coils of the stem,
is drained several times of saliva and
nicotine.
