nautics have been developed under
the naval bureau OF aeronautics

Navy Department scarcely a year
and a half ago.
Three Types Developed.
Three types OF observation and
spotting planes have been recently
developed, and production orders
have been placed after careful test.
They are known as the Mol, q
three-seater observation monopiAJle,
which will be used primarily for
directing the gunfire OF the battle
fleet from the air; the MOI, a
bipIane designed for similar service,
and the 10. which is to be part
Of the standard aircraft equipment
OF cruisers.
The navy recently developed the

the places of Edward II. Jones, H.
Latane Lewis and w. Lyles Offutt,
recently resigned, the County Com
nllssioners have appointed John E.
Libbey, jr., Edward J. Murphy and
Albert l.. Moore to complete the
work of reassessing all real and per-
sonal property in the Chevy Chase
and Bethesda parts Of Bethesda dis
trict, including Bradley Hills, Friend
ship Heights, Drummond, Somerset,
Edgemoor and Chevy Chase.
The designations of the three as
SCISSORS were the result of differ
ences of opinion between them and
the County Commissioners, who sit
as a Board of Equalization and Re-
view, as to valuations the assessors
placed on property in the territory
In which they operated. The as.
SCISSORS, so they state, endeavored to
follow the instructions of the State
Tax Commission and the law of the
State, but the commissioners, 1t
seems, consider that in many cases
the assessments show increases
ranging from so to 1000 per cent.
On statutory grounds. Judge Ed
ward G. Peter, in the Circuit Court
here. has signed a decree granting
to Mrs. Lavinia Dawn Edwards, of
this county, an absolute divorce
from Joseph Robert Edwards, also
OF this county. The decree also al.
lows Mrs. Edwards to resume her
maiden name of Hill.
The County Commissioners have
appointed B. Ashby Leavell, of
Chevy Chase, a tax assessor for
Bethesda district to assist with the
reassessment of all personal and
real property now in progress in the
district.
A license has been issued here for
the marriage OF Miss Ethel Lee
Watson and James J. Powell, both
