The big drift of the present moment

PROPOSESSTAD|UM
ON RESERVOIR SITE
D. c. Water Official Says
Conversion of BrightWood
Basin Is Feasible.

The District government may fall
heir to fine municipal athletic
stadium at comparatively small ex-
pense within a few years. it became
known today
J. S. Garland, superintendent of the
District water department, revealed
that when the new water system now
under construction is completed the
present Brightwood reservoir, at Six
teenth and Kennedy streets. will have
to be abandoned, and he is pre-
pared to make the suggestion that it
be converted into a place of public
recreation.
MIR. Garland pointed out that the
reservoir land is the property of the
water department, and could be con-
verted by slight alterations into a
most desirable spot for outdoor sports.
Conversion Cost Moderate.
This reservoir consists of two con-
crete lined storage basins that total
s33 feet long and 500 feet wide at the
top and about Is or 20 feet deep At
the bottom of the sloping walls the
reservoir is $50 feet long and 2S7
feet wide.
The superintendent said the sides of
the reservoir are probably too steep
in their present condition for stadium
purposes, but that it could be adapted
to use as an athletic field with a
modest expenditure.
1--WE are perfectly willing to give
consideration to other suggestions
for the use of this ground, but the
athletic field is my idea of the best
use to which it could be put by the
city." Mr. Garland stated.
Available in 1927.
OF course, nothing can be done
along this line until the new con-
duit. the new liberation plant and the
two new reservoirs are completed
and in service, which it is estimated
will be about 1927.
Mr.. Garland explained that the
Brightwood reservoir will not be
serviceable after the new project is
finished, because it is only 278 feet
above mean low tide, whereas one of
the new reservoirs which is to take it's
place farther northwest will be at an
elevation of $50 feet. This will take
care. of the so-called second high
service pumping area now fed from
the Brightwood reservoir.
Situated on the west side of Six
teenth street near one of the entrances
to Rock Creek Park, the reservoir
is admirably located for an athletic
stadium. One end of it could be
left for a swimming pool if desired.

CLOUDS DISPERSED
BY ARMY PLANES
Aviators' Experiments May
Aid Fog-Bound Harbors and
Landing of Flyers.

Using an electrified sand process
devised by DR. l.. Francis Warren of
Harvard. two Army aviators today
successfully shot down" a series of
clouds which overshadowed Boiling
Field.
Smaller groups disappeared entire
" under the attack, while heavier
masses were criss-crossed with arti
-ficial chasms through which the suns
rays pierced brightly to the earth.
Although conditions were far from
ideal. the operations of the two
planes, piloted by Capt. A. 1. Eagle
and Lieut.. w. T.. Melville, were plain
" nppa rent to the spectators at the
field.
The machines were forced to climb
$4,000 feet before they reached the
main strata of cumulus clouds Whlch
was their objective. Through special
binoculars they were seen TO dlSap-
pear behind a fragment and then to
suddenly break through" again as
the cloud disintegrated under the
shower of electrified sand thrown by
centrifugal force through nozzles set
in the under portion of the fuSelages.
Described Circle Above Clouds.
The aviators described circle above
the cloud bank and the circle was du
plicated in a clean-cut pathway through
the mist. From the ground it appeared
that the cloud perceptibly lessened
throughout it's structure as the planes
proceeded to the next bank.
A projecting isthmus of cloud then
went into nothingness as the planes
skirted it's edge. spraying the fine silica.
Both aviators declared the expert
ment a success, without attempting
alrrn han
large scale.
'Undoubtedly it would serve to
clear the field of a dense fog bank"
Cant. Eagle said IF we were advised
that squadron was approaching
the field, for instance. and could not
locate the landing because of the 10"
clouds of fog. we could send up two
or three ships and clear path for
them. l suppose the same effect could
he had over fog wrapped harbors.
Digs Big Well In Clouds.
Capt. Eagle said he had dug an
immense well' in one cloud bank
which, however. was so thick that he
had been unable to drive the aper-
ture to the under side.
Il circled in the cloud" he said,
land the sand cut a perfect well. On
every side rose the white walls and
far above was the blue sky
He agreed with Lieut.. Melville that
one cloud appeared to drop away
when attacked and to reform, in les
ser volume, at lower level.
The airplanes and personnel were
assigned to DR.. Warren by Maj Gen.
Patrick, chief of the Air Service, at
the suggestion of Secretary Weeks
1t was understood President Coolidge
had expressed his interest in the ex-
periments and had indicated his hope
that facilities for their continuation
might be found. The Boiling Field

ventor said, during the next six
weeks, with a view to obtaining ex-
haustive data for the governmental
