Most Attractive for Visit
ing Sightseers.

Aerial sightseeing service to Mount
Vernon was insugurated yesterday
afternoon from the Washington air

cause Of rush order for planes
made by the War Department.
Several bookings have already been
made for the Mt. Vernon flight, which
takes the passenger down the
Potomac past Alexandria. An in
teresting feature of the view of the
historic grounds from the air is the
huge liberty bell outlined by the
walks through the grounds. For
years the bell was known to have
been laid out, Sut all record OF its
precise location had been lost and II
was not until flyers passed over the
grounds that 1t was definitely re-
located.
The airplane sightseeing trips were
planned for the convenience OF the
visitor who is in the city for short
time and who cannot take the time
to make the long trip to Mt. Vernon
