Until his recent illness Roy was the

curiosity of all visitors.
Roy, however, is just one of the
many interesting youngsters who
have been so unfortunate as to need
hospital care so young in life He
is just one of the scores for whom
the hospital needs funds to provide
care and treatment and for which a
number of Washington society ma

Washington and Boston American n
League teams on June 2S.
Many Tickets Sold.
Quite a number Of the tickets al
ready have been sold, but thousands
are still on sale at a number of lead
ing hotels, clubs, department stores and
drug stores ir northwest Washington,
and the little inmates of the Children s
Hospital are mutely appealing to the
public to purchase them. The entire pro-
ceeds of the ball game will be applied to
the s51.500 deficit the hospital is facing.

Spring appears with a harvest of
measles and sprinklings of whooping
cough, scarlet fever, mumps and diph-
liberia. Nothing stands in the way
of the nurse and the sick chamber.
Washington contributors to the
budget campaign of the society two
years ago should know that their
money made possible the restoration

visiting nurse. OF course, in the end
they undoubtedly would receive at

The Star building, live three little
Fritters-Mary. Clifton and Sydney

to health after an attack of measles
and later pneumonia, and the third
placed in the care of a visiting nurse.
Calls were made at the home by the
visiting nurse daily, and sometimes
twice daily. under the doctors in
structions, and now she calls on Mary,
the oldest of the trio, three times a
week
Mary. Clifton and sydney were
caught in the wave of measles that
swept over parts of the city. The
first visit recorded at the home was
March 3. The nurse, working with
the doctor, pulled each through the

they were no sooner cured of that
ailment than pneumonia confined all
three to bed. Another battle, this
time more strenuous, but the visiting
nurse, drilled and skilled in such
cases was ever at their bedsides at
tending to professional needs. Soon
pneumonia departed.
Develops Hip Trouble.
Mary, however. developed 4 hip con-
dition, following her other ailments.
which caused considerable concern
for a time. She, however. is much
improved, and now is under the su-

SEES SAN DIEGO
AS A|RSH|P BASE
Col. w. J. Davis, Authority on
Aeronautics, Points to Navy's
Great Opportunity.

Col w jefferson Davis, prominent
California lawyer and authority on
laws governing aeronautics. an
nounced here yesterday that san
Diego, Calf. is destined to become a
great naval airship base. Col. Davis
represented the Murray-HinshaW-
Fletcher interests, which own large
acreage of land adjacent to San
Diego and offered to the Navy De-
rartment, through Admiral MoHett'
chief of the bureau of aeronautics,
sufficient land near Grossmont. ad-
Joining San Diego, for the site OF a
naval airship station.
Location Ideal for Aircraft.
Tho Grossmont location, according
to Col. Davis. is ideal for airships,
there being no trees or ground op-
struction in the way. StrateglcaliS,
ii has advantages not obtainable at
the North Island air station and Is
far enough back from the coast 10
I've out Of reach of lonG-range guns
and, further, offers no objective Tor
attacks from the sea.
Public feeling in San Diego with
respect to the Navy's two airships.
rhe ZR-i and ZR-3. is such that the
Murray Hinshaw Fletcher Interests
have offered to donate to the Navy
the nect ssary acreage for such
naval base, while the citizens of San
Diego are interested in seeing the
government utilize what seems to be
the most desirable location in the
southwest for this purpose. Col pa
Wis further stated that public-spirited d
men and women in San Diego would,
ne thought. voluntarily contribute the
funds necessary for the erection or a
mooring mast for the airships.
Admiral Moffett's Suggestion.
ADMIRAL Moffett stated, however,
that this would not be necessary, as
contracts have been placed for sew
.ral mooring maSts, and. in his opln-
ion. one should go to San Diego. in
asmuch as the Navy already has an
air station at North Island, nearby.
Admiral Moffett plans to visit San
Diego in the near future in order to
determine the feasibility of the plan
suggested by Col. Davis. and the eX-
pectation is that the generosity OF
the parties concerned will result in
the location of an immense rigid air.
