Marine aviators of the First Avi-
alton Group at Quantico, Va, yester-
day. before a small but distinguished
audience, won another victory for
military aeronautics with remark
able exhibition of bombing, machine
gun firing and pursuit emulation, the
prime factors in the new aerial war
fare method known as attack avia-
tion.
Arranged especially for Senator
Frederick Hale of Maine, chairman of
the Senate naval committee, the
demonstration, produced In short
notice, also was witnessed by Secre-
tary Wilbur, Assistant Secretary OF
the Navy Robinson, Rear Admiral
William A. Moffett, chief of the Bu-
reau of Aeronautics; Maj. Gen. John
A. Lejeune, commandant of the Ma
rine Corps, and their aides, at the
Marine Corps Flying Field, about
two miles below the Quantico base.
Fly From Washington.
Senator Hale, Mr.. Robinson and
Admiral Moffett flew down to the
base from the Naval Air Station in
a large seaplane piloted by Lieut.. A.
j. Williams, and another seaplane
flown by Lieut.. w. D. Thomas, COM
manding officer of the station, carried
two newspaper men.
Immediately on arrival of the party
by plane and Secretary Wilbur from
the yacht Sylph, three Martin bomb
erS, long since obsolete, carrying de-
fective and imperfect bombs and
antiquated bomb sights, took off TO
reach an altitude of 5000 feet One
of the planes was forced to return
because of a broken connecting rod,
but soon another bomber was in the
air to take its place.
\ battleship outline made of buoys
was in the river about 400 yards from
shore and was attacked by the bomb
ers from the high altitude, flying in
land. Although only a short distance
away from the target, the official
party had confidence in the bombers
not to overshoot the "battleship" and
| bomb the spectators. At least one
direct hit was scored. while a neat pat
| tern was laid all around the outline.
| The spectators were convinced great
| damage could have been rendered a
| live target, provided the bombs con-
| tanned damaging charges.
Lays Smoke Screen.
After the Martins had passed over
and prepared to land, five De Havi-
| lands attacked the target from 5000
feet with equal effectiveness, and then
| a Martin bomber laid a smoke screen
across the target. The constantly
shifting wind broke up the curtain to
a great extent, but three of the five
| De HavilandS carried out their origi-
nal plan of diving through it to the
waters edge. releasing the bombs and
| zooming. The ship" was attacked
from all positions and theoretically
| that part of the superstructure which
the Martin bombers had failed to
damage was laid in ruins.
Not satisfied to let the attack stop
there two more De Havilands dive
onto the target, while machine gun
ners in the rear cockpit peppered the
deck with shots. The rat-tat-tat OF
| the guns was plainly audible above
the roar of the motors, and within the
outline of the target the water spout
| ed up as each bullet struck home. The
accuracy of the fire from the swift
| moving airplane astonished the Wis
| itorS.
The pursuit angle of the exhibition
was not as active as the bombing

Yes or No?

1. If an organ is once lost in the
course of development of a race of AMI
mails or plants, can j. ever be brought
back or developed over again?
2. In gas or oil wells, does solid
material ever come up with the gush-
ing oil?
3. Are there as many evergreen
forests as deciduous?
Answers to these questions may b.
found
1. No. Research seems to indicate
that structures once lost in the process
of evolution can never be regained,
but if needed because of a changing
environment, may be replaced by some
other structure which adopts a similar
form, for example, plants which have
lost their leaves because of unfavorable
conditions covering many generations,
as the asparagus plant has done, can
not again develop leaves but replace
them with leaf like stems which do
the same work.
2. Yes. In the Baku oil fields of
Russia, the oil is commonly accom-
panied by an equal bulk of sand and
even by stones.
3. Yes. Four-fifths Of the worlds
forests are evergreen, deciduouS trees
are dominant only in Eastern United
States, Japan and Western Europe.

half teaspoon vanilla and pour over
two bananas which have been peeled
and sliced into the baked shell.
Cover with n meringue made by

Some Pointers
on Manners
Who Speaks First?
By Mrs. Beeckman

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
In arriving at a hotel when meet
ne in the dining room or lobby who
to speak first, the newcomer or
he guests who are there?
2-Who is to speak first, the new
neighbor or the old tenant of the
apartment?
3-Is it proper TO wear Tuxedo
suit to a wedding on a Sunday night!
What kind of suit should man wear
if the lady is dressed formally?
STEADY READER.
If such a greeting is made, it is
made by the guests who are already
there. If the new guest is assigned
seat at a table with other guests, the
guests who have been there bow cor
daily to the arriving guest.
2-The old tenant acts somewhat
in the capacity of extending hoepi'
ta!ity," and therefore greets the in
coming tenant.
3-The correct dress for a gentle
man at an evening wedding is evening
clothes.
4-Yes, informally.
