Redds Corner gets ray, of lime

enthusiastic people Of the Corner have
put it on the map, but it has been on
the map, or on a map, for many
years, the map Of Prince Georges
County. But it is not there as
Redds Corner. It Is there as Camp
Springs. Years ago-ffty or more--it
was thought that in the name "Redds

Col. Mitchell's Plan.

Col. Mitchell's testimony before the
Presidents special air board contained
no more useful chapter than can be
found in its concluding sentences. For
1t was at this point that he rendered
concrete his hitherto vaguely defined
concept Of a separate air force.
Scrutinized with care, the project
urged by Col. Mitchell seems to differ
materially from what was generally
understood to have been originally ad-
vocated by him. Here Is no all.grasp-
ing consolidation under which Navy
and Army would be deprived OF
that intimate relationship to the air
units serving them which has been
soundly held essential to efficiency.
Under the Mitchell plan there would
be with the fleet planes and person
mel adapted to and trained for the spe-
cial mission Of service at sea. The
preliminary training In flying and
volved would be in the air force
schools. Their finished naval training
would be conducted by the Navy. Col.
Mitchell estimates that the Navy
would need about 800 planes. including
a so per cent reserve. with a personnel
of about 230 flying officers and 200 ob-
servers, with 10 Notifying men at
tached to each plane, with a reserve
Of so per cent for the pilots and like
reserve for the ground men. He con-
cedes that the Army needs a certain
air force for what he terms its do
nestle economy-that is, for recon
noitering the ground in front Of 1t. for
regulating and adjusting artillery fire
and for keeping open communication
between its parts. He would leave 1t
to the Army to determine its require
ments in this respect, but he suggests
planes and personnel equal to or
slightly in excess Of what he believes
are needed for the Navy.
Then, with the peculiar require
ments Of the Army and Navy provided
for by their own air units, he would
have the big Job Of aerial national de-
fense taken over by the separate air
force. organized and trained primarily
for an aerial combat and commanded
by men who had actual flying expe-
rience 1t is his idea that both the
Army and Navy should have aviation
auxiliaries, just as the Navy has a
military auxiliary In the Marine Corps
and the Army has q naval auxiliary in
its transport, but that there should be
a third distinct branch OF the national
defense organized to cope with the
new problems of combat in the air.
Such proposal, we'll thought out
and coming from conservative
source. would be entitled to and would
be given careful consideration. It
ought not to be denied that considera-
ton merely because in presenting 1t

light in stepping on other peoples

It was said in the story that Reds
Corner Is on the road from Washing
ton to Upper Marlboro. This shows
now uncertain and capricious is Fame.
One might believe that the whole
world knew that Redds Corner was on
the ancient road-built about a cen.
tury ago-that runs from Good Hope
to Silver Hill, Surrattsville and T. B.
Redds Corner rests on a plateau three
miles southeast Of Silver Hill and about
three miles north by a little west of
Surratts. The Corner is formed by the
T. B. road and an old d.fashioned dirt
road which leads from the Potomac at
Broad Creek to the Washington and
Marlboro pike at Meadows. The Cor
ner Is really crossroad, and in an

were new. The mail stage used to
stop at the store
The cause of the commotion at
Redds Corner was that q number Of
persons. most of them living else
where, celebrated with too much en-
thusiasm the marriage OF Mrs. Estelle
Windsor and Mr., n. O. Day. The
newlyweds were serenaded with horns,
cans and rattles. and tho serenaders
fired shotguns and pistols. In the dis
turbance. the report says. the bride
was slightly. and. OF course. uninten-
tionally, hurt by being struck with a
stick
Here are echoes from the past. This
was not a serenade, but a charivari.
The charivari-variously spelled-was
common among the rustic peoples Of
Europe a thousand years ago. 1t was
used as a boisterous expression Of
good humor or Ill humor. It was
especially popular in France 700 or 50
years ago as a means Of giving a
''send-off" to new married couples.
The people OF Redds Corner used the
charivari in its historic sense.
In some way our oldfashioned peo.
pie came to call these rustic serenades
"calithumpian concerts" Tho concert
at Redds Corner seems to have been a
trifle noisy. The stern people Of the
neighborhood will probably keep the
charivari spirit under control in the
future. for times have changed in
a thousand years, and what was once
routine incident now takes on head
line-compelling importance.

Nobody in or around the United
States Shipping Board had ever heard
Of H. C. Dalton Of Cleveland until
President Coolidge srrang his name
upon the commissioners as the man
he'd selected to investigate the whole
mercantile marine mess. Mr.. Dalton
is the engineering member Of the
Cleveland firm OF Pickands, Mather &
Co. miners and dealers in iron ore
and coal. The firm is also extensively
interested in Great Lakes shipping,
and it Is presumably Mr.. Dalton's IA
miliarity with that branch Of his own
business that induced the President to
turn him loose on the Shipping Board.
Mr.. Dalton's mission. this observer is
into which the shipping commission
ers and Admiral Palmer have wran-
gled themselves. Mr.. Coolidge's pur.
pose rather is to have the Cleveland
engineer find out just what is wrong
with our whole merchant marine situ-
alton. He Is not to concern himself
with personal chickering's or with the
controversies affecting the Shipping
Boards rights as against presidential
interference.
