Although Air Ministry engineers
are extremely reticient regarding
the details of these monster motors
even in official circles they are
spoken of with utmost reserYe-it
is learned that one Of the u 500
horsepower engines is an oil-burn-
ing machine Of the semi Diesel
type. It is declared to mark a new
era in flight, since it reducesstto a
minimum the danger Of fire both
in the air and in the event OF

successful. ;.:.,,

NEW MODEL
HOME
Moses, and Sons Furnish Ideal
Residence at Blair
Addition. =,

One OF the best opportunities for
prospective home.buyers to in
spect a model house completely
equipped and furnished is afforded
TINS week by the Hopkins Land
Company, 1919 F street northwest.
whose sample house in theif> mod
ern subdivision, Blair is at
present thrown open for the in.
speetion Of the general public.s
Many sample houses are opened
from time to time for examination
by possible purchasers and others;
but few. in their newly-completed
and totally unfinished state,
possess the power to envision to
those same possible buyers the at
tracttveness that the completely
furnished home should eventually
have. Hence new idea has been
carried out by the Hopkins con-
Germ in opening their Blair sample
nome Through the cooperation Of
the well-known firm of w. B.
Moses and Sons, a large local
furniture and interior embellish-
ment store, the model house at
Blair is presented to the public
in a completely furnished and dec
GRATED state-the dream of the
incipient home.purchaser idealized
and realized.
The home itself is of a bunga-
low design embodying many un-
usual and attractive features that
Immediately attract the attention
and focus appreciation. With the
addition Of the beautiful and mod
ern furniture, rugs and draperies
that the Moses firm has supplied,
the effect obtained is said to be
one Of unexcelled appeal.
The surroundings that enhance
the model house at Blair con.
tribute largely to it's attraction.
The addition is cut from a part of
the historic Blair estate on the
Brookville pike just beyond the in
tersection of Alaska avenue. De-
velopment is now in it's fullest
stage, and Washingtonians are
said to be paying it widespread
Particularly impressive at Blair
is the businessliNg manner in
which the roadways and approaches
have been treated. Falkland drive
in particular offers a good ex-
ample of the care which has en-
tered into this phase Of the sub
divisions development. Falkland
drive affords an entrance to Blair
from the Brookville pike very close
to the District line below the in
tersection of Alaska avenue and

tracks, thus obviating the necessity
of using the grade crossing at
Silver Spring.
Convenience Is the keynote of
the approach when made by the
motorist. BY driving out Sixteenth
street and swinging into Alaska
avenue the subdivision is reached
with no difficulty. Nor is Blair
without a surrounding neighbor-
hood of well-built-up communities.
Silver Spring lies to the north,
Takoma Park extends to Blair,
while the strides made by Wash
ington itself toward the subdivision
in question leave little doubt as
to the ultimate population Of the
vicinity,
According to statements, the
model home will be open all next
week.

Frank T. Hines, it was learned Of
ficially today.
Rehabilitation and disqualification
of veterans who need special care
must be accomplished before the
decentralization program can be car
ried into effect, but officials are
hopeful that the next three years
will see the bureaus ordinary in
surance and compensation divisions
transferred to some other Govern
ment department and placed upon
permanent basis.
AS one of the first and most I'M
portant teps in carrying out plans
for assuring adequate care for vet
Grams as long as they are in need
of Government assistance, Director
Hines has established a permanent
compensation rating for more than
j 900 veterans who were partially
disabled as a result of their war
service. Not only will the order
effect big saving in the admins
trative expenses of the Veterans
Bureau, but it will make it pos
sible for these beneficiaries to re-
ceive their monthly checks without
further delay.
The placing Of veterans on per-
manent pension basis will necessi-
tate the expenditure of approx
mately $75,000,000 year in
amounts from So to SIS a month.
The pensions received by Civil War
veterans have averaged about one
half these totals. The World War
veterans affected by this new order
are already receiving monthly CON-
pensation checks from the Govern
ment, but now they are assured
of being cared for as long as they
live.
In the New York district, at least
81 900 will profit by the new regu-
lations, while about $4,000 in the
Chicago district and 10000 III the
Cincinnati district will be likewise
affected.
Director Hines decision was
reached in part through the eff
forts of the American Legion, which
objected to the rules requiring par
TALLY disabled men, even though
their disability was permanent, to
be re-examined every three months.
Official announcement of the new
order is expected within a few
days.
