DAWSON DISCUSSES
FUTURE OF AIRPLANE
Limitations Gradually Being Re-

AbSOSAGho0
LONG BEACH, n. Y, July 81
Unfavorable flying weather today pre-
vented Assistant Secretary Dawson Of
the War Department. from flying here
from Washington to deliver his hrst
public address since he took over di-
rection of the Army's aviation ac-
tivities.
Instead, he telegraphed his speech,
which was read to the Nassau County
convention of the American Legion.
He said that while aircraft develop
ment of the last 20 years pointed to
an almost limitless future In aerial
navigation, Government programs
still must be based on appreciation or
the natural limitations that exist.
''It should be said in. all fairness,
however" he said, that the imita-
lions which confine the activities OF a
heavier-than-air machine are gradual
Nv being Iessened as science advances.
With steady Improvement in the re-
liability of the gasoline motor; with
added refinement and Improvement In
airplane design; with increasingly
satisfying results in directional radio,
and in other fields of research, who
can with confidence predict limitations
of the future?
1T is well to look ahead to visual
ize the possibilities of the years to
come. At the same time. we must
keep our feet on the ground and rec
ognize frankly the difficulties and
obstacles which actually face us.

Blocks for Pennsylvania Avenue Paving

free from noise and dust and would

Mr.. Elliot. proposed to lay the
wooden blocks from the Capitol to the
old War Office at Seventeenth street

tirnated that the work would cost
$141,372. Blocks s inches square on
top and "a inches thick were rec
commended.
When Mr.. Elliot submitted his rec

was covered with a inacadarn, the work
having been done In 1882. This orig
inal surfacing was cut up badly dur
ing the Civil War and was repaired
from time to tinne until 1870, when a
wooden block pavement was laid. Six
years later the Avenue was repaved
from First to Sixth street with
Bneuchatel rock on a hydraulic base.
In 1890 the Avenue was repaved again
from First to Seventeenth street. The
present paving between Sixth and
Fifteenth streets was laid in 1907.
