RECORD CROWDS SEE
CHRYSANTHEMUMS
Largest Attendance in "a Years of
Flower Shows Reported
Yesterday.

More people visited the free mum"
show of the Department of Agriculture
yesterday than ever before attended
any flower show under the United
States Government auspices on one
day-and these shows have been held
for "a years. BY actual -ount made
by two checkers. s.s16 persons passed
through the exhibition greenhouse at
14th and B streets. This makes near
" 10000 individuals who have thus
far seen the more than 1000 varieties
OF selected Japanese and pompon
blooms.
DR.. William A. Taylor. chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry. under
whose administration the chrysanthe-
mum show is being held. today named
one of the most promising of the new
seeding pompons for Alexander Bull
}och of Rochester. n. Y, who is con-
Sfdered an authority on growing
chrysanthemums. This action was
taken at the solicitation of Represen-
tative Archie D. Sanders of New
York This new bloom is a large
lowered pompon with a white center
and the outer edge of the petals
shaded pink.
Three other new seedlings were
named by DR.. Taylor-the Louise NJ
Stimson, q semi-double bronze; the
Grace Cobern. 4 double yellow Of
Striking appearance, and the Olga
Schamberger. a double rose pink.
Because of the great interest mani
rested by the public in this years
show, and appeals made to the Of
hcials of the department, it has been
decided to keep the show open for
one extra day, Thursday, so that the
show will be open daily from am
20 pm, closing Thursday night at
8 o'clock
The big attendance is continuing
Today with waiting line having to
be formed most of the time. This
afternoon a number of schools are
sending the children by classes un-
der the guidance Of their teachers.
Tomorrow the members of the Diplo-
matte Corps and attaches have been
specially invited.
AS fast as any flower in the show
willis it is being replaced by a fresh
plant from the propagating houses,
SO that at the close the show will be
just as good, If not better, than
when it opened.

ASKS RESERVOIR
Be MADE BIG GYM
Mai. Bell Sees Site as Ideal
for Erection of Arena
for Indoor Sports.

a new suggestion, that the Bright
wood reservoir, at Sixteenth and Ken
nedy streets, be used as the founda-
tion for a municipal structure for in
door athletics and recreation when it
becomes useless as part of the wa
ter system, was put forth today by
Engineer Commissioner Bell.
J. S. Garland, superintendent of the
water department, which controls the
spacious strip of land occupied by the
reservoir started the discussion few
days ago by proposing that the two
large storage basins be converted
INTO city stadium. He stated at the
time that his idea was merely to be
considered as a suggestion and that
some other plan might be more ad-
vantageGT.
This reservoir, situated at one of
the entrances to Rock Creek Park,
will be abandoned for water storage
purposes when the new conduit and
reservoirs are completed about two
Years hence.
Maj. Bell said today he thought it
Il fine idea to convert the spot into
municipal recreation center, but at
first thought it seemed to him that
the laying off of an open stadium
might not result in the maximum use
of the place by the public.
'It might be possible the Com
1nisisoner observed, to use the reser-
roir basins for swimming pools and
An athletic track and still erect above
them q structure in which various in
door forms of recreation would be
available
The major said he doubted whether
rresent transportation facilities
would be ample to make this reser-
yoir 4 desirable point for q large
stadium where great crowds would
assemble.
Some other cities, the commissioner
continued, have made considerable
Roadway in providing for indoor ath-
letic recreation.
At the present time the question of
the best use to which the reservoir
should be put when it is no longer
needed by the water department is in
it's infancy and no doubt many pro-
posals will be advanced for study
between now and time when definite
action is TO be taken.

WINS HELICOPTER PRIZE
French Engineer Succeeds in Lifting 22O Pounds One Metre in One Minute in Tests

Montbeliard, France. Sept. 15.- The success achieved by Etienne Oehmichen, the French engineer. in winning the 10000 franc prize yes- terday for weigh lifting with his helicopter is but a phase in the ex- perirnents he has been making with this type of machine. The helicop- ter used in the official test lifted 220 pounds to height of one metre in one minute and remained In that position for another minute. Later it exceeded this height with a still greater weight.
 M. Oehmichep had alreay made vertical and circular flights and it remained to show that the machine was capable of carrying cargo. During the three flights made in the official test the stability of the ma chine was found to be perfect and the opinion was expressed that what was shown to be possible at a height of three feet was equally so at thirty feet or mare.
 The flights were carefully checked by a specialist from the air depart ment who had no hesitation in awarding the prize offered by the department.
