Eagle Hailed
As War Omen
Huge Bird Circles White
House, Then Perches on
Navy Building.

Appearing mysteriously over the
city this morning. a huge American
eagle circled over the White House
and finally came to rest on the roof
OF the State. war and Navy build
ing. at the foot of a flagpole from
which the American flag was flap
ping in the breeze.
The occurrence is regarded as an
omen by the older members of the
War Department.
Just before Americas entry into
the world war, they recalled, an
eagle was seen over the city. The
fact that the king OF birds stopped
on the War Department roof was
regarded as especially ominous.
No explanation can be given for
the appearance OF the bird. as none
OF them have been found in this
part OF the country for years.

RUSH WORK ON.
NEW AIRPORT
Tractors Busy Leveling Tract
For D. C. Terminal-Regu-
lar Flights Planned.

With five tractors in operation,
the work of leveling Washington's
new airport, at the south end of
Highway Bridge, is in rapid prog
ress today, and is expected to be
completed before dark.
TREES DRAGGED AWAY.
The tract of land, lying immediate
ly to the right of the bridge, was
formerly farm land, mostly IN corn
and, therefore, badly furrowed. The
entire tract was plowed crosswlse Of
the original burrows, and is now be-
ing disked and narrowed. One or two
trees on the field were uprooted and
dragged away this morning by trac
tors.
The land will be allowed to settle
for several days before being used
extensively by aircraft. In case Of
bad weather. it may be found neces-
sary TO roll the land.
The North American Aerial Trans
portation Company, which is building
the field. has one airplane now on
hand, two on the way from Iowa, one
coming from New York. and two
more ordered for delivery on April
l and June l. For the first two or
three months. sightseeing service and
short passenger flights will be car
ried on, followed by increasingly ex-
tensive operations.
REGULAR SERVICE COMING.
Early in the summer a regular
sightseeing service to Gettysburg
will be opened. followed by regular
passenger service to Norfolk. With
in the year daily service to St.
Louis will be in operation, the flight
LII a.A
of about 500 per passenger.
The company Will work in cooper
alton with existing local sightseeing
bus lines, which will eventually make
regular stops at the field. The ulti-
mate plan is to operate a nation
wide service with large airplanes
and dirigibles.

MOTOR INDUSTRY
NEEDS NEW LAWS
Uniform Regulation Seen as
Requisite for Present Hodge,
podQe Statutes.

The motor transport industry must
not be hamstrung by iniquitous reg
ulation laws. There are forty-eight
each State passes different regula-
tons under which motor transporta-
ton must be operated.
In other words, we have forty
eight varieties" of motor-truck laws
some of them so drastic and ill-ad
vised that the very backbone OF one
of the four great transportation sys-
TENS is in danger OF being paralyzed.
In one State the license fee for oper-
ating a motor truck for one year may
be IS, while in another State IL may
jump into hundreds.
The officials OF one State appreci-
ate the Importance OF motor trans
portation and seek to tax il only to
such an extent as is absolutely neces-
sary. while in another State the
screws are clamped on the owners and
operators OF motor-trucks without a
thought or care as to whether the
producer and the consumer suffers or
not.
OFFICIALS BEHIND TIMES.
The officials OF half of the States
in the American Union are so far be-
hind the times in thought energy that
the motor-truck proposition is to
them an unknown factor in the bust
ness and home-life affairs of the
people OF the States which these Of
ficials govern. The big side OF the
motor-truck idea, and the amazing
progress 1t has made in the last few
years. are as Greek to the officials
of some of the States. BY the same
token many State officials are work
ing upon the theory that motor-trucks
destroy the highways. These officials
keep their eyes glued to small
patch of WORKOUT or badly construct
ed highway bed, and in their spirit of
narrowness they never observe the
part the motor-truck is playing in the
continuous development Of industry
and o<mmerce-yes, and of good roads
and agricultural expansion as well.
In some OF the States the yearly
value OF manufactured products run
into many hundreds of millions; the
weekly payrolls in some OF the States
amount to millions upon millions, and
in some of the States hundreds of
thousands OF men and women would
be left high and dry were the fac
tories and the commercial houses to
close down. In some of the States
none OF these facts appear to impress
the officials or legislators who make
and enforce the license fee regula-
lions governing motor truck operation.
BLEED the motor truck owners until
they are white" appears to be the
motto that is being followed in some
of the States generally known for
their spirit OF progressiveness on all
subjects save one-that of motor
transport.
COMES FROM CONSUMER.
Every dollar that is unnecessarily
added to the motor truck license fee
must come from the pockets of con-
'umers. And who are the consumers?
ARE they not the people who produce
Ind consume? Isn't II time that the
,fficials of some of the States throw
on the yoke Of prejudice. and isn't II
time that some of them became better
acquainted with what has happened
in the motor transport field since
motor trucks played so important a
part in bringing to close the great
st OF all world wars?
