dclicrs and arranged in network
against the ceiling, combined with
gray moss, were placed clusters of red
California berries, scarlet rusl;us and
white gypsophlia. At various vantage
points about the room were silver

great extent. they are right, that to
administer aviation a thorough knowl-

Mason NJ. Patrick. chief OF the Army

this principle. which is borne out by
the fact that at the age of so he un-

The other executives of the Air
Services, however. who take their
