AIR SERVICE To

S25,000,000
General Patrick to Demand
Congress Put U. S. on Equal
Basis With Powers.
By GEORGE e. DURNO.
International News Service.

Cognizant of the grim race among
the world powers for aerial suprerl-
acy, Congress next winter win be
asked to increase the army air serv-
ice appropriation nearly 100 per cent,
it was learned today.
Estimates totaling 5000, 900 have
been approved by Maj. Gen. Mason
NJ. Patrick, chief of the service. and
a determined fight is to be waged,
not only to secure that amount for
the next fisc2i year, but to insure
that appropriations Of like size will
be forthcoming in the future.
An aerial force of $500 planes.
1900 officers, $500 flying cadets and
$4,000 enlisted men is the ultimate
goal of the army air service. With
a continuing appropriation of $685.
100000 annually. it is contended
such force-competent in every
way to serve the defense needs of
the United States-could be built up
and maintained.
Air Service Stifled.
Failure of Congress to grant ade-
quate appropriations for promotion
of aviation, officials stated. has
stifled and stunted the air service to
a point where it bids fair to become
impotent as a material factor in ma
tional defense. The United States
at present has but $50 airplanes
available for combat use, as COM
pared with the 1000 France soon
will be able to mobilize. Great
Britain likewise has entered into the
supremacy race with a program call
ing for fifty-two new squadrons in
addition to the twenty-five already
maintained.
Army aviators contend that Amer
ica's present air force is but one
fifth the size necessary for peace
time nucleus. They further state
that if present conditions continue
within two years there will be less
than 300 available combat planes in
the air service, as only a negligible
number are under. construction and
the present stock is rapidly de-
teriOrating.
For the past four years, they dis.
closed, the Government has been
using war equipment, confirming con-
struction largely to the development
of types. This not only has hurt the
progress of the air service, but has
put many aircraft concerns out of
business and seriously retarded the
development of commercial aviation.
.$15. 100000 for Equipment.
Should Congress grant an appro-
priation of $4,000, 900, SIS, 900, 900
would be devoted to new equipment
and the remainder to general operat-
ing expenses. Plans worked out by
experts for both war and peace-rime
operation, upon which the requested
appropriation is based, show that
the United States must have a suf.
ficiently large aerial force at the
outbreak of hostilities to be able to
repel invasion. as we'll as to carry
out the minor auxiliary missions of
performing observation and liaison
duty with the ground forces.
To thus protect Americas. vital
coast lines and Industrial areas from
bombardment ana invasion, these ex-
perts allege, the United States must
be assured of supremacy in the air,
and force of $500 planes would be
necessary to give this assurance.

FREDERICK, Md,
NEEDSPRAYER,
SAYS PASTOR
Rev. Douglas Hooft Will Hold
Series of Meetings
80. - = a.
Nightly.

FREDERICK, Md, July 2o.-so
conscience-stricken over the noto'
riety this ordinarily placid little
town has gained since the kepner
mystery the Rev. Douglas Hooff'
pastor of the fashionable All Saints
Episcopal Church, today announced
a series of nightly services at when
all Frederick could pray for the re-
demption of the city.
Beginning last night ana con-
tinuing for every night Thereafter,
the doors of the church Will be
thrown open for twenty minutes,
and the people of this town have
been invited to spend this time in
prayer, to pray for the removal OF
the stain upon the fair name OF
Frederick.
1t is a revival of services held
during the world war when
parishioners nightly asked God to
protect the soldiers of the United
States who were fighting in France.
DIR. !. Hooff, in statement an
nouncing the services, said. He
feels that in view of existing con-
ditions all serious-minded citizens,
irrespective of their religious at.
filiations will appreciate the fitness
Of such an occasion as these short
twilight services afford.
"They will not be evangelistic
services in the usually accepted
meaning of the term as there viii
be no sermon or addresses"
DIR. Hooff explained that only the
awakening Of the individual and
the public conscience can lead TO
better conditions OF living.
And as this is to be looked :or
only through Gods answer TO
prayer" he said, 1.-The natural and
reasonable thing to do is to give
the citizen this privilege Of joining
with his fellow-citizens. irrespective
of creed, in some service of sup
plication and intercession."
DIR. Hooff has the richest parish
in Frederick. Its membership con-
sists largely of the most fashionable
and wealthy Frederick residents.
For eight years, Dr. Hooff has been
pastor of this church, having served
as assistant pastor in the
Emmanuel Episcopal Church at
Baltimore.

CHEMISTS FIND
SURE ROACH
KILLER
Health Officials Declare So.
dunn FIuoride Is Effective
Exterminator.

: Reaches, little and big, face
determination in Washington as the
result of experiments made by
chemists of the Department OF
Health. Sodium Fluoride, it has
been found, constitutes the nemesis
of the roach family. 1t is non-
poisonous and cheap, and Is easily
procurable.
Sprinkled around where reaches
are found the result, it is said, is
almost magical. The effect on in
sects is the same as the deadliest
of poisons. 1t can S0e left to do its
work without danger to children or
family pets.
One of the advantages it possesses
10 the possibility of using it in
refrigerators as it = is both nom
poisonous and heavy enough to
escape blowing. around by the open.
ing Of doors.
1--WE have been using it here in
the laboratory with entirely salts
factory results" said DR.. T. M
Price, chemist in the District Health
Office. 81 have been experimenting
with it for some time in seeking a
satisfactory agency for eliminating
reaches and it does the work.
For many years the British gov
eminent paid a man one hundred
pounds year to keep down the
reaches in the British Library. He
did his work at night. 1t was OBJ
served that each morning he re-
moved several paper bags well filled
with dead reaches. The secret of
his powder he guarded jealousy.
About its action one thing was
found to be considerably heavier
than live ones. An examination Of
them showed they had eaten plaster
of paris. But reaches, it was found,
would not eat it straight. Evident
Iy the roach killer had discovered
O pleasing ingredient which he
mixed with the plaster of paris.
Experiments were made with vari-
GUS grades of sugar in an effort to
find one that granulated or grained
as does plaster of paris. The ex-
periments were not successful and
the attempts were given up with
the result that the roach killer con-
tinued to hold his contract for
many years.
Sodium tIuoride, 1t is said, has
about the same granulation AS
plaster of paris. Experiments will
be made in mixing the two and
milling them. The advantage Of
combining the plaster of paris with
the sodium fuoride is that when
the combination is eaten by the
roach the plaster Of paris i'm
mediatelya hardens, the result being
that the roach dies within a short
distance of where he ate the COM
pound.
Fleas may be removed from pets
It is said, by rubbing sodium
6uoride into the hair. and brushing
It out within a few minutes.
Animals do not experience discom-
fort from it's use. 1t can also be
used effective around chicken
houses, and while the experiments
have not been carried far enough 10
establish fixed results, it is said
ants show a decided inclination to
taboo 1t.
In waging war against reaches 1t
is necessary to sprinkle the sodium
fluoride along the routes they
travel; in the cracks around door
facings, along mopboards and
around plumbing fixtures. Left
spread along their runways for
from twenty-four to thirty-six hours
and the reaches, it is declared, will
disappear.
