and within the walls of Arlington cemetery, where sleep the martyred dead of three wars, which is said primarily to have drawn the Klan's fire.
 Residents and officials freely admit that the road flanking the reserya- tion, and running from Rosslyn to a junction with the military road to Fort Myer, is a nightly rendezvous for men and women who drive up in droves, the machines bearing both District and Virginia license numbers.
 This spot is well known to local hackers, who obligingly transport flares" to the cemetery enyirons, where cars are often parked until dawn. Not so far away from the aug ust tombs of the soldier dead there are often heard the screams of women and coarse talk of men. Morning finds a litter, including empty bottles.
 County authorities are said to be trying to find way to stamp out this stare of things. The cemetery, being a federal reservation, cannot be in. vaded by the county arms of the law, and the watchmen, though always alert are too few to check the pro ceedingS.

DEYELOPMENTS in the United A' States air mail service within a year will include a twenty-eight-hou mail service between New York and San Francisco, and air mail to the interior of Alaska, Second Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson said, in -n address to the Aeronauti- cal Chamber of Commerce and Aero nautical Executives at the Automobile Club of America.
 Might flying was the subject of Mr. Hendersons address. He said that it was through an intensive study of this branch of aeronautics that the coast to-coast twenty-eight-hour service would be made possible. The first night postal flights, he said, probably would be made between Detroit and Chicago in October, when the national airplane race and air congress are to

be held in Michigan's automobile me tropolis.
 With the cooperation of large light ing corporations, he said, the air mail service had devised a system of light ing which assures a safe night way from coast to coast, with the pilot at no time out of sight of two of the series of powerful beacons each cast ing a beam forty miles in length.
 The illumination of the Chicago field, Mr. Henderson announced, is to follow as nearly as possible daylight perspective" The buildings will be flood lighted, he said, and the field will be outlined with light. Red lights, he explained. would be used to desig- nate the spot where the wheels of the night mail are to touch the ground. The emergency beacons. with their forty-mile shafts, will hs established every twenty-five miles between Chi cago and Cheyenne.
 The coast-tO-coast twenty eight hour service will be made possible by an all night flight between Chicago and Chey enne, distance of 1000 miles. Mir. Henderson said. When this service is in full operation airplanes, carrying 500 pounds of mail, already sorted and ready for the carrier, will leave New York early one morning and their cargo will be delivered in San Fran. cisco the following day.

Protest "Petting Parties" in Arlington

P ENEATH the flaming cross the
 white panoplied Knights of the ku KluX Klan may soon ride through Arlington county, Virginia, as a pro test against alleged immoral condi- tions, including the reported nocturnal invasion of Arlington National ceme- tery by wild "petting parties"
 Through the medium of publicly posted letters, Arlington county of ficials have been warned that failure to check spooning, gambling, drink ing and boOtlegging in their jurisdic- tion will necessitate the assumption of authority by the Klansmen.
 Already several residents of the county have received letters from the Klan decreeing that they cease certain practices in violation of law. These communications are said to have had as deterrent an effect as did the ukases of the Knights of reconstruction days in the South.
 The posted notes, headed Arlington county" and addressed to "The off 'ials of the law from the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan," take the form of a questionable of which the salient in- terrOgations are as follows:
 "Why has whisky been allowed to be sold along the Potomac river for months, and why is this sale permitted even after a murder has been com mitted there"
 ''Why has horse race betting been, and why is it, permitted to go on so long at Clarendon station?"
 ''Why have no steps been taken to stop the disorder going on nightly just off the Washington-AleXandria high way near Four Mile Run?"

 Commenting upon statements by the Democratic party concerning the nomi- nation of Democratic women to public office, Mrs. Upton declared the com plete lists of women candidates of many states show that the list cf women candidates in the two parties substantially is equal.
 Republican women nominees for congress are Miss Alice Robertson, Ok lahOma Mrs. Winnifred Mason Huck, Chicago, nominated to succeed her father, the late William E. Mason, and Mrs. Lindsay Patterson, Winston-Sa- lem, N. C., an opponent of Congress- man Charles NJ. Stedman, Democrat.
 Women candidates for Republican nomination for congress are Mrs. Lydia AdamsWilliams of Nevada and Mrs. Francis c. Axtell of Washington, for United States senators, and Mrs. Nina Oter-Warren of New Mexico, for congressman.
