3lSt continental congress in Memor-
ial Continental Hall in Washington

a return to old-faShiOned American
ideals. She said that the American
home is going into the discard and
that it required an act of faith to
believe that it would survive the
automobile and the movies, the thirst
for the pleasure and diversion of the
moment
Mrs Minor pointed out that the
creation of the home is woman'S
sphere, but that it need not be con-
fined TO the four walls of the house,
but should reach out to better schools
purer movies, cleaner drama, more
modest dress and better discipline for
the child in home and school An un-
disciplined child, she said, is good
material for future unheavels and
revolutions.

Three KILLED
AT QUANTICO
COLLIDE
Two Bodies Taken From
Wreckage of Planes
One Dies Later
MOCK COMBAT CAUSE
F6ers in Mimic Warfare Miscalculate
Distance-Planes Lock Wings. Sepa-
rate, Then Crash to Ground.

Three Marine Corps filters were
killed at Brown Field, QuanticO, va,
yesterday afternoon when two air
planes collided in midair.
The victims We're:
First Lieut. Earle MacNeill Ran
dali. 25 years old, native of Maine
stationed at Brown Field.
Second Lieut. Duncan Wesley
Lewis, "a years old, a native of
Tennessee, stationed at Brown Field.
Private Joseph J. Dhooghe, ~
wears old, native of Montana, sta
toned at Brown Field
Lieut.. Lewis and Private Dhooghe
were dead when their bodies we're
extricated from the wreckage, while
Lieut.. Randall died a short time
after having been admitted to the
field hospital.
The collision. the first Of its kind
that has ever occurred at Brown
Field, happened shortly after ,
o'clock, a few minutes after the
planes had left the ground to en-
gage in combat maneuyerS.
Lieut. Randall, plotting a FOkker
plane, circled in the direction of the
Vaught plane occupied by Lieut..
Lewis and Private Dhooghe TO con-
duct a sham attack, but approached
too near his opponent and the wings
locked.
The planes separated after 4 few
moments, but Immediately after
ward both plunged nose downward
toward the ground. several hundred
feet below, falling side by side in a
tangled mass of wreckage.
Although the work Of eXtricating
the victims W as impeded by the
matted conditions of the wreckage
additional disaster was avoided
through the absence of a blaze
the pilots having closed the gaso-
line supply channels when they real
lied their plight.
When the mangled bodies Of Lieut.
Lewis and Pvt. Dhooghe were re-
covered field physicians pronounced
them dead, but after examining
Lieut.. Randall, they ordered him
rushed to the hospital, where he
died n few minutes later.
The cause of the collision ac-
cordimg to officers in charge of the
field, is unknown, as both Of the
pilots were skilled aviators and
were recognized as among the most
capable men stationed at the field
The board of investigation headed
by Capt Louis NJ Bourne, will con-
duct an examination today. it was
announced last night by Major A.
Geiger, commandant Of the flying
field.
Collisions in the air, according to
aviation authorities, are rare. even
during combat drills, although such
maneuverS are conducted almost
daily at the aviation fields of the
army, navy and marine corps.
The pilots who lost their lives
both served with the Marine flying
squadronS during the world war,
while the mechanic did foreign
service with the Marines during the
Haiti troubles
Messages of notification have
been dispatched to the relatives of
the victims. Arrangements for the
funerals will be made within the
next few days, according to Gen.
Smedley Butler. commandant of the
QuanticO barracks.
