interest has been taken in the COL

Shrine celebration.
The twelve Egyptian columns stand
ing at regular intervals in the gar

comment and praise, and many of the
visitors have closely studied the de-
tails of these handsome replicas Of
the columns of Karnack and other
old temples of the Nile region.

columns of any single type appear
TO be the same, but a closer inspec-

on the tops and bases of the shafts
and on the capitals themselves Is
similar In any one type. the broad
band of figures in the center of the
column lends variety to any group
of columns. 1t Is this center band
which gives individuality to the
column. A frieze of gods and kings
tells the story of the life of the time

.A|RPLANE RACES
At BOILING FIELD
Aviators Compete for Shrin-
ers First Time in Three
Years Here.

For the first time in three years, air
plane races were held at Boiling Field
today, augmenting a regular flying
circus which has been in operation
for the benefit of the Shriners since
Monday, and which closes tomorrow
evening.
The races offered the last word in
thrills for the hundreds of visitors
at the field. Perhaps the most spec
tacular of all was the contest among
three Martin bombers. huge planes
which seldom participate in this type
of work. They covered three laps
around the navy yard and steel plant,
twenty-five miles. Spectators rose to
their feet as the giant airplanes tore
ever the field at an altitude of less
than 100 feet, the roar of the six en-
gines being almost deafening. Lieut.
Harold d. Smith of Langley Field
Va. was the winner, and Lieut.. A
Hornsby and Lieut.. Harold Clark
also of Langley. finished second and
third, respectively.
Small Planes Race.
This race was followed by three of
the smallest types of planes in the
service-two SE-5s and one Thomas
Morse-which buzzed around the
course at an average speed OF dDOul
125 miles an hour. Lieut.. Harold w
Beaton was the winner of this event
and Captain st. Clair STREET., pilot
ing the Thomas-M Morse was a close
second: Lieut.. L. V. Beau was third.
The final racing event, participated in
by three De Haviland observation planes
was won by Lieut.. H. q. Bogert. He
was followed by Lieut.. Paul c. Will
kins and Capt. c. H. Reynolds.
To Race Tomorrow.
The winners of todays races will
compete against each other tomor-
row at about the same time that
Lieuts. Kelly and Macready, the
famous transcontinental fiers, and
Lieut.. L. j. Maitland, holder of the
worlds speed record, will match
their merits. The winner of this last
event will go up against the winners
of the first three for the champion.

PERSH|NG STAGES
FIGHT FOR MOBILES
Infantry Platoon Attack on
Monument Lot Draws
Thousands.

A demonstration of an attack by
an infantry platoon. supported by
machine guns, mortars. tanks and
|. chemical warfare weapons. is being
given on the Monument grounds this
afternoon. for Shriners and other Wis
itors in Washington. The event has
been arranged by Noble Gen. Per-
shing of Aladdin Temple and Noble
Gen. Bandholtz of the district of
Washington and is in charge of Capt
T.. T. Lemoreux of the 18th Infantry,
assisted by Lieut.. w. D. Killen, also
of the 18th Infantry. Music is fur
nished by the Army band.
The principle to be illustrated
shows an infantry platoon advancing
into action in approach formation;
the preliminary reconnaissance by
scouts; deployment of platoons and
formation of firing line; the fire
fight; action of machine guns, NOR
tars, tanksE and chemical warfare
units in aiding the attack, and the
manner of bringing up reserve am
munition.
Attack From East.
The platoon will attack the machine
gun nest west of the Washington
across the field north from the Monu-
ment. When the platoon reaches
about the center of the field it is
stopped by heavy enemy fire, and is
unable to advance farther.
A runner Is sent back with a mes
sage requesting aid from the machine
gun section supporting the attack
The machine gun section is sent for
ward into action in an endeavor to
Subdue the enemy resistance. Re-
serve ammunition is brought up on
mules from the rear.
This process is still insufficient and
light mortars and gas projectiles of
the chemical warfare service are
called upon for aid. The fire from
proves too heavy to permit the ad-
vance of tho infantry platoon and the
tanks are sent for to aid in break
ing the resistance.
The tanks advance, deploy and pass
through infantry lines with the ma.
chine guns and 37-mm. howitzers
succeeding 'in subduing the enemy
and gaining fire superiority over
them.
The infantry platoon follows the
tanks. using marching fire, and
charges the enemy position. The
machine guns follow up the infantry
platoon to, aid in consolidating the
captured position and to prepare
against counter attack.
The Medical Corps personnel come
on the field to care for wounded and
killed.
Prisoners captured can be seen be-
ing escorted to the rear. The gas
which Is used is an essence of pep
permfnt oil, which Is quite harmless
but is used to show how the poisonous
gases permeate the atmosphere.

Credit to Commissioners.
The action of the District commits
sioners in removing the restrictions
on parking has helped great deal.
They are to be congratulated on
their foresight in preparing to handle
the tremendous traffic, but experience

and the Commissioners found that 1t
would be possible 10 allow parking in
the downtown section without serious
interference with traffic. They are
serving the public better by allow
ing them to park. 1t has been very
great hardship not only to the stores,
but to the people themselves. and

today show that the public is ap-
