1t will cost about S225,000 to re-
store the ancestral home of the
Custis family in the Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery to the condition 1t
was in when Gen. Robert f. Lee and
his wife, formerly Miss Mary Ann
Randolph Custis, lived there at the
outbreak of the Civil War, in accord
ance with legislation enacted by
Congress In March. Maj. Gen. Will
liam II. Hart, quartermaster gen.
eral of the Army. has submitted an
estimate of this amount for the work,
and it is now Gin the hands of the
director of the budget for inclusion
in the next budget to Congress.
Under the act the Secretary of
War is authorized and directed" to
restore the old mansion las nearly
as practicable to the condition in
which 1t existed Immediately prior
to the Civil War and to procure, if
possible. articles of furniture and
equipment, which were then in the
mansion and in use by the occu-
pants there" and If the original fur
niture is not available, to procure
reproductions of the same. AS some
times happens in such cases. how
ever, Congress failed to provide any
funds for carrying out its expressed
wishes. Q. NJ. Gen. Hart, who has
general supervision over all national
cemeteries. was called on to investi-
gate the subject and prepare esti-
mates of the expenses entailed.
After a careful study of the situa-
ton, he reported that 1t would require
about $225, 900 to do what was called
for. including painting and repairing
the building and purchasing reproduc-
ton of the original furniture.
Now Used As Residence.
He pointed out also that the build
ing is now used by the superintendent
Of the cemetery and his family for liv-
ing quarters and for Offices for him

Coffee Profits Under Study.

Officials of Brazil are much con-
cerned over the high price of coffee,
which they feel may become "a boom
erang on the state which considers
coffee one of its prime resources.
They believe excessive profits are be-
ing made by the American handlers
of the Brazilian product, though the
profits reaped by the growers them
selves are being studied. Several Of
ficials now are in the United States
making a survey. The study is
prompted by the American movement
of non n-buying in an effort to force
down the prices. Growers are said to
make anywhere from 25 to 100 per
cent profit.

the less ornate but equally useful
equipment of the culinary department,
is now in the possession Of the Gov
ernment. Difficulty may be expert
enced in getting reproduction of the
principal pieces Of furniture and hang
ings. either by purchase or donation
from owners of similar articles, and 1t
may not be possible to do so by pur-
chase. Most of the relics taken from
the mansion when 1t was abandoned in
1851 and now stored in the National
Museum were presented to various
members of the family by Gen. Wash
ington or were in some other way
identified with the life of the first
President at Mount Vernon during the
Revolutionary War and his term as
President. Notwithstanding his close
relations with the Custis family, Gen.
Washington was not personally iden-
titled with the Arlington Mansion, as
he died before it was completed.

FRENCH A|RP[ANE
ENTRY PROTESTED
Army Objects to Breguet Ship
Coming in Race for Mill
tary Craft.

A protest against the entry in the
observation plane race at Mitchell
Field, Long Island. October 8. OF a
plane from France, on the grounds
that it is not a military plane, has
been lodged by the Army Air Service
with the National Aeronautic Associa-
ton. under whose auspices the ma.
tional air meet will be held.
Without definite knowledge that the
plane will be entered, however. the
Army Air Service and the aeronautic
association both have received infor-
nation from authentic sources that
the French manufacturer. Breguet. is
bringing two planes to America. sail
ing September 10, which will place him
at Mitchell Field few days before the
race.
Not Military Plane.
The protest is on the ground that
the Breguet is not a military plane
and operated by military personnel
and equipment. If it is entered, II is
contended that American manufactur-
ers likewise should have the opportu-
nifty of entering their non-military
crafts. The Air Service specifically
pointed to the provision that the race
was for military planes only"
AS the race now stands, service
DIS Of the Army and Navy are en-
tered and it is generally conceded
that the Breguet would be able to out
distance hopelesSly the fastest OH. If
the Breguet is entered, then, the Air
Service said, the Curtiss and Douglas
observation planes, contracts for
which were let recently, should be al
lowed to enter.
c. F. Schory, secretary Of the con-
test committee of the association, said
he expected to receive the letter from
b. t- 1se oFN
long as the Breguet comes within the
technical requirements, such as wing
area, horsepower of motor, etc, there
is nothing to prevent its flying in the
race If the Army and Navy consent.
Further. he declared, the two services
are entitled to enter the Curtiss and
Douglas ships provided they are
within the prescribed limits tech
nically.
Two Factions in Fight.
There are two factions in aero
nautical Washington on the matter of
the Breguet. One believes it should be
allowed to enter for the purpose of
stimulating further aircraft contests
of an international nature and. should
It win, it will emphasize that America
is not as fortunate aeronautically as it
has been represented. Only last week,
it was pointed out. a French plane
pToke every American record Tor dura-
ton that had been established.
The other side declares there are
types of observation ships now being
built that can give the Breguet a good
fight, but it should not be allowed to
pit its speed against the old DIS,
built during the war days. According
to Mr.. Schory. however. the Army and
Navy Air Services alone can say
whether the Breguet can enter, pro-
vided, of course. it meets the technical
entrance requirements.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-The
dean of an important college and
head of a very new family is the
dual role to be assumed In the fall
by Mrs. Helen Taft Manning, daugh'
ter of the chief justice of the United
States supreme court.
It is an undertaking not without
its difficulties. but here in Wash
ington, where the daughter of the
former president spent most OF her
girlhood. there is a general feeling
that Mrs. Manning will prove more
than equal 10 the test.
1t is a decided step forward. this
calling of a young mother with a
husband and two small children in
her household. to the ~deanship Of a
college for the education and train
ing of young m 1t combines
all the elements of practically TO-
gether with the theories and prin'
cipies OF education.
Most of Mrs. Manning's friends in
Washington had thought that her
educational days had ended with heI
marriage, but she has returned &c
the work because it is the natura'
thing for her to do. The former
Miss Taft was born in what NIGH
