B0RAH PREDICTS INQUIRY.

CFflCAGO, S6TH. II. UHIleu
States Senator William Z. Borah,
of Idaho, predicted last night that
the next Congress will conduct an
inquiry into the aviation policy
with particular reference to Gen.
Mitchell's charges.
II am inclined to think that Nit
chell is correct in his attitude for
consolidation of the Air Service"
said Senator Borah.

Gen. MITCHELL
IS RESPONSIBLE
AIR CRITICISMS
Assumes Full Responsibility
and Sends Charges
to Washington.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Sept. l2.-
Full responsibility for the criticisms
of the Air Service credited in the
newspaper stories, has been ac-
cepted and the original copy of the
charges have been forwarded to
Washington, Gen. William Mitchell
announced last night.
Gen. Mitchell's fourth formal
statement suggested that the two
army transport airships, which are
under construction, fly from New
York to Peking in test flight.
Gen. Mitchell also said that the
crew of the PN9-1 should receive
distinguished service medals
Mitchell said why wouldn't it
be good idea to fly planes over
land from New York to Peking,
stopping once at Nome, Alaska, for
fuel, then continuing to the Asiatic
continent with a total elapsed time
from New York of from so to 80
hours?
."Think how much service this
kind would save commercial banks
on exchange and benefit business
and civilization. Under this service
diphtheria serum could be rushed
to Nome. from New York within
few hours, in case of emergency"

BOY ATHLETES
TITLE SHIFTED

Championships in four of the five
leading sports engaged in by boy ath

District changed hands during the
past year. The annual soccer series
reached the final stage during the

More than 500 boys took part in the
city championship tennis matches,
which were won by Milton Baker of

For strong teams, foot ball un-
doubtedly reached its peak here last
Fall. 1t may be that in some former
season one college turned out a
stronger team than any that repre-
scented local colleges in 1925, but never
before were all teams generally so
strong. Gallaudet was q little below
it's strength of 1924. but Georgetown
had one of the best elevens that 1t
has developed in 10 years, certainly
best since 1915 and 1916; Catholic
University and George Washington
had elevens which were about their
best in a decade, and Maryland had
a team that, while it lost the majority
of it's games, was strong and played
good foot ball.
q. L. Powerful on GridirOn.
1t has been years since Georgetown
has had so much satisfaction over "a
season in foot ball. The Blue and
Gray began practice with the state
ment from it's coach, Lou Little, that
an exceptionally strong eleven would
be turned out. Subsequent results
proved that Little, at the beginning
of the season, knew the material he
had and knew about what he could
accomplish with it.
Georgetown went through its sea
son with the loss of only one game,
in which it outrushed and generally
seemed to he a stronger team than
the one against which it was opposed,
Bucknell.
No doubt the Hilltoppers We're
strong enough TO give a real battle
TO any eleven against which it might
have been placed. The team was we'll
coached and played d more modern
brand of foot ball than any former
Hilltop team has shown since the days
of Exendine.
Jack McAuliffe. in his first year as
coach at Catholic University, was
very successful and developed one of
the strongest teams that has worn
the colors of that school. And this
is d compari son of the 1925 team with
all the eleyens c. L. has turned out
in it's whole foot ball history.
Harry Crum had another successful
year at George Washington, and, not
withstanding the fact it lost TO G. L,
in the final anksgiving day game,
turned out the best eleven it has had
in 10 years.
Gallaudet fell below its 1924 stand
ard, but in games with colleges it
might logically be expected TO show
well against its performances were
creditable. Maryland lost more games
than it has lost in any previous sea
son in a long while. but. notwith.
standing that. played good foot ball
and had members of its squad had the
experience OF the average college
squad, probably would have finished
the season with a wonderful record
One lack of local foot ball is a big
game with local" color. a game that
would give to Washington something
like Syracuse has in its Colgate game
like Pittsburgh has in its Penn State
contest. like Philadelphia has in its
Penn Cornell battle, like any number
of games of this kind. No doubt the
absence of such a game detracts from
interest in the sport.

Locomotive Engineers
Official Urges Workers
To Establish Own Banks

BY International Labor News Service.
Montreal.-That labor should enter
the capitalistic field, especially by
establishing its own banks, and that
this course would help to solve many
of the troubles between capital and
labor, was the declaration made by
l.. G. Griffng, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
at a convention of the Canadian di-
visions of that order held here during
the second week of July.
"The fact" said Mr.. Griffing, chat
a union is in a position where it is
able to exercise some influence in the
financial world helps to bring about
better conditions for labor without US
ing up it's economic strength in
strikes. Further, labor's entry into the
financial world gives better under

Five-Day Week Is Gaining;
Goal Of A Hours Work Set
For Unionized Industries

BY international Labor News Service.
New York City.-Is the five-day
week gaining in America? A survey
conducted by the New York World
shows it is gaining fast in the larger
cities where all the big department
stores are closed Saturdays in July
and August, giving their employees
two days to go to seashore, mountain
or rest at home.
The movement is also spreading in
commercial establishments, but the
usual arrangements to carry the GUS
tomary work hours over the five-day
period to make up for the loss of time
Saturday. There are employers who
raise a hue and cry against the ten
dency for more leisure for employees
as well as for bosses, but medical
authorities indorse the trend.
Doctors Favor Trend
DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk, director of
the Life Extension Institute, com
menting on the fve-day work week,
says:
For clerks in stores and other peo-
pie having sedentery occupation the
five-day week is potentially a good
thing. 1t gives them chance to get
outdoors and range around They
need all the air and sunshine they
can get. In the large cities especially,
getting to the country requires so
much time that the two-day week end
would be of great value"
