AUTO RACE KINGS
TURN TO AER0S
Aircraft Expert Says Auto
mobile Has Lost Its Place
as Thriller.

New York, March S.-Automobile
pilots who have achieved fame and
won great prizes on Americas speed
ways will never be contented again
with the thrills they get out OF track
and road racing, according to L. X.
Bell, of the Manufacturers Aircraft
Association.
Bell said tonight that these and
other stars, who have had a taste of
the aviation service. will take to the
air in pursuit of sport. The associa-
ton is staging a 15-day aeronautical
exposition at Madison Square Garden.
Bells views are sustained by a
sweeping challenge issued tonight by
Alfred f. McCorry for a speed con-
test McCorry wishes TO match the
Christmas Bullet against all corners
for a race from New York TO Wash
ington and return. The Bullet has
attained a speed of 1g7 miles an hour.
"I see In the hydroplane unlimited
possibilities for future sporting
events" said Bell II name the
hydroplane specifically, because l
think this type of machine will be
the one that the sportsmen will use In
their first contests.
I'VE thought the racing fiends were
/ going some when they reeled on
ninety and ninety-five miles an hour
! on the speedways. But think of the
speed attainable with the airplane,
! Two hundred miles an hour is easy.
| We learn that a Frenchman has
made it possible to do even better.
/ An invention just perfected assures
a speed of 800 miles an hour at high
altitude. Think of 1t! Across the At
lantic in ten hours"

EVEN FLOWER PRICES RISE
AS WAR GOD DISAPPEARS
Lack of Bulb Shipments from Holland and
Japan Cause Spring Gardens to
Shrink; Market Small.

THE queen of them all is the
sweet pea" the market man said
More than half of the people ask
for them before they even look at
any other flower"
In the market stalls and on the
streets the sweet peas are every
where, dainty butterfly blossoms OF
white. pink and lavender. Fragrant
corsage bouquets can be bought al
market stalls or from the flower
peddlers on the streets for so cents
or s1.00 and in some cases even
lower.
THE sweet pea has taken the
violets' place as the first favorite.'
the florist man said. -Four or five
years ago the violets were the most
popular flowers for the corsage
bouquet. but within the last few
years II has been forced to yield
first place to the sweet pea Per-
haps II is because the latter flower
comes in SO many different shades
Rivaling the flowers for popularity
are the spring buds, the pussy will
lows and naples.
In the market the former are. sell.
ing for 80 cents dozen stalks and
the naples for 25 cents.

1.-THE flowers that bloom in the
spring" are unusually high this year,
according To the local market men.
TITS the war" dealer In Center
Market said yesterday. THE majority
of our spring flowers are grown from
bulbs imported from Holland or ia
pan. and last year the shipments were
cut to such an extent that this spring
the florists were forced to use storage
bulbs, about so per cent of which re-
fused to grow"
Tulips, lilies, daffodils, hyacinths
and narcissus are among the spring
favorites, the prices of which have
SCARED because of the war. The pale
gold daffodils are selling at 81 and
$50 a dozen and pot of fragrant
hyacinths brings $3.50
The white and yellow waxlike cups
of the Easter lily could have been
made OF pure gold this spring. so
costly are the stately blossoms. Flor
lists predict. however, that the Easter
favorite will be mode plentiful by
Easter time.
Seed blossoms, sweet peas. snar
dragons, carnations and primroses
are as plentiful as ever and more
than ever popular.

morrow morning, and 1t is expected

Washington Citizens Association has
been endeavoring for a long time to
secure a branch station in the South

erected for the purpose. but no funds
were available to accomplish this. and
the long delay has been due to the
inability of the department to secure
suitable place. Mr.. Gill, knowing of
the great need of a branch station,
offered the use of a portion of his
store. with the additional offer that
he would fit il up ready for occupancy
by the department, and his offer was
accepted.
