flown by Lieut.. Cyrus Bettts of the
Army and another by Lieut.. A. j..
Williams for the Navy. Lieut.. Nor
ton of the Marine Corps will fly the
third ship If it Is decided to start this
plane.
1t is foregone conclusion that the
high speed race will be the most beau
tiful and thrilling event on the pro-
gram of the three-day meet which will
be replete with striking and spectacu-
lar exhibitions. Even the mile high
parachute dives, the sham battles and
the stunt flying will pale before the
thrill in the Pulitzer race.
Look Like Toys.
The two tiny ships, looking almost
like toys. will draw up to the line
with motors running gently for the
warm-up. The Army ship has a shin
ing black body, with gold wings, and
the Navy racer is blue, with silver
wings. While there will undoubtedly
be foreign entries and additional
American ships, the eyes of the as
sembled thousands will be Centered on
these two tiny speed demons which
are expected to carry men faster than
they have ever moved before.
The sound of the motor in these
Curtiss racing ships is not the well
people have come to associate with
the presence of an airplane. but a
peculiar high-powered whistling sound
that enhances the impression of ter
rife speed. With the warning gun
there is a swift whirr OF the pro-
peller and the ship speeds forward
across the field barely 100 feet
and shoots into the air like a bullet.
dissolving almost instantly into a
barely visible speck. A moment and it
turns, a tiny silhouette in the sun, and
streaks for the space between the two
posts which mark the starting line
over the line at full speed, barely
so feet above the ground, and the
ship is off on the 124-mile race
Lead Cannon Ball.
Those who watch must keep their
eyes on the ship, as the sound of the
motor is always several miles behind
Turning the pylons in perfectly YER
tiCal bank, the ships flick around the
highly colored markers like a quick
flash of lightning. making the turns
at more than 200 miles an hour.
An old style cannon ball, shot after
the airplane had 50-foot start, would
never catch the new Curtiss racers
There is not gun in the world that
could hit one of these ships in flight
and not a human eye which could aim
"A gun at them. This will be made
plainly evident TO visitors at the New
York 1925 air races when they watch
the futile efforts of photographers to
push the button before the ship goes
past.
The Pulitzer high-speed race will
furnish a spectacle and a thrill which
will remain for lifetime in the minds
of thousands.

BEACH POLLUTION
HELD PREVENTABLE
BY USING CHLORINE

Continued from First Page)
pletely solve the problem of water
pollution here 1t is true that sew
age would continue to flow into the
river during rainy spells, but this, it
was pointed out, would How off within
two or three hours after the rain had
ceased. In the meantime, chlorine
could be used around the bathing
beaches. Sanitary Engineer Gordon
is heartily in favor of chlorination.
Every man who went to France in
1917 remembers what chlorine did for
the American Army" he said I'VE
found every stream over there pol
luted. We could not drink it, We
had to have water; the F'renchman's
wine would not take it's place entirely.
so we just went ahead and chlorinated
the rivers and drank the water. There
was never the slightest semblance of
typhoid epidemic. That is recon-
mendation enough for chlorine"
To tear up Washington's sewer sys-
tenn and install two systems, one for
storm water and the other for sani-
tary sewage, in order to carry the lat
ter to a disposal plant, regardless of
weather conditions, would be a
gross waste of money, in the opinion
of Mr.. Gordon. That is the only way
to prevent pollution from the District
reaching the rivers in rainy seasons.
Mr. Gordon said, and il would be of
no avail unless Maryland and Virginia
would do the same thing.
Two Sewers Wasteful.
Baltimore has adopted this system.
but Mr.. Gordon pointed out that the
Maryland city had no storm sewers
until their present system was adopt
ed. Only sanitary sewers existed and
1t was quite a simple matter merely
to lay the pipes for the second sys-
tenn. To install a similar system here
would even require every house
owner to change the sanitary and
drain water system on his home at
great expense.
Washington's present system was
first planned in 1890 by a board of
three of the best known sanitary
engineers in the world, Rudolph Her
ring-Samuel Gray and Frederick P
Stearns. In their report these ex-
perts pointed out that the system
could be improved as the city grew,
and the present idea of intercepting
sewers was worked out on the basis
Of that same report. To date this
system has cost S23,256,61S.25.
The proposed disposal plant will cost
between S4,000,000 and $4,000, 900.
This plant, however, will not change
conditions at Washington, Most of this
city's sanitary sewage, which is the
type that bears the typhoid germ and
other danger bacilli, is emptied from
the main outlet below Blue Plains
With Washington growing at it's pres
ent rate the pollution from that sewer
may soon menace the fish and oyster
industry of the lower Potomac

PRIVATE CONTROL

FRENCH PROGRESSING.
Moore Are Declared to Be in Full
Flight

PARIS September IL CP).-The
French offensive in Morocco is re-
ported to be progressing under eX-
cellent conditions The French troops
have re-occupied the entire territory
which they evacuated last May and
they continue their march forward
with the Moors in full flight to the
rOrth-this is the official information
conveyed to the French nation today.
The success of these military oper-
ations, in which the effectives engaged
are more numerous than those in any
other war in the history of the Afri-
can continent, not even excepting the
campaigns in which Hannibal and
Scipio led their Carthaginian and Ro-
man legions against each other, leaves
the public and press rather unenthu-
SiaStiC. However, Paris realizes at
least that there is a war going on in
Morocco.
Fight on 60-Mile Front.
For the first time today the official
communique gave a definite idea of
the magnitude of the operations. The
reference to seven groups of troops
operating on a 60-mile front" and the
recovery of 500 square kilometers of
territory in three days gave the com
munique, the public thought today
much resemblance to those of the
Great War. Only two things are lack
ing to make the comparison complete,
It is being said, namely, the failure to
mention losses and the fact that ADD
El-krim does not issue any commu-
nique affording a basis for compari-
son of the claims Of the opposing
armies.
Military experts do not challenge
the statements that the Moors have
been driven before the onslaughts of
the French troops, but there is a tinge
of anxiety in their comments and con
Germ lest the retreat Of the Moors lead
to an ENHANCEMENT of the French in
the Upper Atlas Range, where it is
believed the Riftan chieftain is pre-
pairing to make a stand.
Premier Painleve said to newspaper
men tolay:
The hour mas struck in Morocco,
where, much against her will, france
has had to display her strength.
The news reaching us from the
front shows the care with which the
operations have been prepared and
executed in perfect union with the
brave sailors and soldiers of Spain
If our adversaries have mistaken for
weakness the generosity with which
France endeavored to restore peace
without bloodshed, the days are COM
ing which will dissipate their error
The power of the French will destroy
all obstacles"
Meanwhile in the zone of the new
offensive tons of barbed wire carried
forward by mules are being used in
consolidating the ground gained dur
ing the past few days, and every
mountain peak, according to the plans
of the French command, will he made
a fortress from which the French can
not be driven and upon which they
intend to remain.
The morale of the French troops is
reported to be excellent. The weather
in the zone of operations continues
clear and hot in daytime and chilly
at night, with signs of the approach
of the rainy season.

A Fire Every Three Minutes.

Statistics compiled by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters show that
there is fire in some home in the
United States every three minutes
This is an average for a period of five
years. At this rate town the size of
Dallas, Tex, or Dayton, Ohio, would
be destroyed regularly every five
years. Defective chimneys and 7ues
cause the greatest loss due to any in
dividual cause, though sparks on the
roof rank next. Electricity ranks
