Wright Field Dedicated.

- Yesterday the Army's huge new air
1rome at Dayton, Ohio, was dedicated.
With impressive ceremonies. partici-
pated in by the Secretary of War, the
Assistant Secretary Of War for Avia-
tion, Maj. Gen. William e. Gilmore
and Col. e. A. Deeds, the great mill
tary flying establishment was named
Wright Field, dedicated to the Wright
brothers, American pioneers in the

in that science in the swift quarter
century which has elapsed since
Orville and Glen Wright conducted
their experiments in a little shack

present vast structures OF steel and
concrete are. well night incredible.
The earth has been girded, oceans
have been spanned, speeds Of close to

} is doubtful whether even the Wright
brothers, dreaming their momentous
dream, as with the mocking laughter
! OF an unsympathetic world in their
ears they pressed forward in the ex'
periments upon which the science OF
aviation is today founded, dreamed as
fabulously as the history of mans
conquest Of the air has proven to be.
1t is eminently fitting that the great
field at Dayton should be dedicated to
those whose names will ever be as
aociated with Americas greatest con
tribution to flying in Its pioneer days
And as we remember that contribu'

take stock of our present status in the

The War Is Over!

Eleven ycGrs ago, after a conference
ct Richmond between Washington res
idcnts. ofFicials Of the American Auto
mobile Association and Gov. Stuart
of Virginia, an incipisnt automobile
license war was amicably settled.
Yesterday ct Richmond. at meeting
with Gov. Byrd of Virginia, attended
by members Of Washington trade or
= sanizations and officials of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, the 1922
edition of the same war was thrashed
out and indications are that the set
Element will exceed in amity even the
1915 agreement.
One If the arguments for reciprocity
in 1916. when local motorists were
being arrested in Alexandria County
for falling TO carry Virginia tag. was
that Washington motorists incurred
large enough penalty when they
endeavored to negotiate most of Nir-
glnias roads without having to pay
I extra, in the shape of tag. for the
privilege. That argument does not
hold true today. because Virginia has
made great strides in road building.
l. does apply, however, in this respect.
The fine, beautiful roads that Virginia
has today are very properly paid for
by Virginians, and Washingtonians
should not be compelled TO pay for
the privilege of driving over the roads
or of building them.
Virginia officials declare that this
latest controversy over tags was not
aimed at District residents. but at
Virginians who live near the border
and take advantage of the cheaper
District plates. There are undoubt'
edly a good many Virginia motorists
who engage in this practice, but. after
all. they are Virginians. responsible
for their sins TO Virginia, and by no
stretch of the imagination can the
District be placed in the position OF
having to clean house for the neigh
boring State. 1t is a job for Virginia
alone.
Washington is gratifled at the re-
suit of yesterdays conference. Vir-
Einia will station policemen at all en-
frances to the National Capital to
stop and question those with Wash
'Ington tags who appear to be evading
the law. In this way the State will
rot only preserve the cordial relation
ship that has always existed between
1t and the District, but will get all
that is coming to it, from it's own resi-
dents, in the shape of revenue for the
building Of roads. The time has long
since passed when the archaic notion
was held that one automobile license

Syery State in the Union, including
the District of Columbia, Canada and

Approving Foreign Loans.

Senator Carter Glass wishes to
know by what authority the Depart
ment of State has assumed the pre-
rogative Of approving or disapproving
private loans by American bankers to
foreign countries. His question may
be answered by the simple assertion
that the State Department has no
such right, outside of it's privilege to
act in an advisory capacity to Amert.

words, the veto power held by the
State Department over private loans

ferred upon 1t by the bankers them.
selves, who have adopted the pro-
cedure OF submitting proposed terms
to the State Department before making
the loans effective. But Senator Glass
does not question the legal right thus
to advise so much as he doubts the
wisdom OF a continuation of such ad-
visory power by the State Depart
| ment. There is no doubt that the
issue he raises is important.
A few days ago the State Depart

TUNNEY TO GET HIS $750,OOO
LIKE DEMPSEY IN SEPTEMBER

NEW YORK, Jan S.-(R-With the
heavyweight champion, Gene Tunney,
and all Of his outstanding challengers
except Jack Delaney under lock, barrel
and key, Tex Rickard today began
shaping his plans for elimination
bouts that viii pave the way for a
title match in September at the
Yankee stadium.
The promoter disclosed a program
calling for two additional indoor
shows featuring heavyweights, and
three outdoors, all at the stadium, one
in May, the second or semi finals in
July, and the "final' on or about Sep
tember Is. Originally, Rickard plan
ned only two big outdoor shows, but
the unusual wealth of heavyweight
material has prompted him to change
his schedule.
According to plans, Paul Berlenbach
will meet Jim Maloney and Jack
Sharkey oppose Paolino, the Spaniard
or Knute Hansen, probably will fur
nish the first major elimination tests
late in February or early in March at
Madison Square Garden. Paolino and
Hansen are matched February Z as a
preliminary, while Berlenbach must
dispose Of Mike McTgue on January
2S to remain in the running.
Jack Dempsey is counted upon to
meet the winner of the elminations in
the July show.
Tunney, the promoter disclosed, will
receive flat guarantee of 100000
and 40 per cent of the gross receipts
in excess of S1,000,000. This would
net the champion as much as Dempsey
received in the battle of the Sesqui-
Centennial last September $750,000, if
the gate receipts of the next title bout
reach the Philadelphia figure of APP
proximately $1,900,0O0.

SIGNS Up FOR
$4,000 YEAR

NEW YORK, Jan. s. - (P) - Rogers
Hornsby, who came to the major
leagues a dozen years ago with a
paltry $500 price tag on him, today
signed two-year contract with his
new employers, the New York Giants,
at an annual salary understood to be
$4,000, the highest paid any player
in the National league
This sum is $4,000 more than
Hornsby received for plotting the ST.
Louis Cardinals to their first National
league pennant and worlds champion
ship last year. 1t is $4,000 less how
ever, than the figure Hornsby demand
ed for continuing as player manager of
the Cardinals and over which the split
resulted which caused him to be trad.
ed to the Giants for Frank Frisch and
Jimmy Ring.
Hornsby will captain the Giants as
well as play second base for the 1927
and 1928 seasons. His position as field
leader, ranking next in authority to
his veteran manager, John McGraw,
was stipulated in the contract. 1t

two scores looked as if the Douglas
coach had instructed his men to let
neither opposing team make more than
nine points.
Pratt of the first team rolled up
nine Of the points for the home town
outfit, playing stellar basketball all
the way through. Denno and Causey,
working like a pair of clocks, got the
points that Pratt missed for total of
seven each and Betty and Seeley made
two point sapiece. The team worked
together throughout the game and
showed more class than on the open
ing game of the season. against Tucson
Friday night, when the victory for
Douglas was of the pinch hit variety.
The Wager brothers played the best
for the Nogales cagers and divided

teams in the southern conference that
