HOUSE GETS D. c.
BILLS TOMORROW
Day Is Given Over to Legis.
Iation Affecting
Capital.

Tomorrow is the District day In the
House. the first Gay given over to
legislation affecting the Capital. aside
from the appropriation measures
There are eight measures on the calen-
dar awaiting consideration. and the
Police Womcn's Bureau bill has been
ordered favorably reported.
The Stalker bill to establish the
Farmers Market in Southwest WASH
ington has, by vote of the House Dis
trict committee, been given privileged
position. which means that 1t Is to be
the first measure called up. If I'M
limited time IS allowed for debate, 1t Is
not likely that any of the other meas
ures will be reached, as the market site
is one Of the most highly controversial
questions that has been before Congress
in decade. 1t is the expectation. how
ever. of Chairman Zihlman. who will
have charge of the District program on
the floor, that all agreement can be
reached limiting the time for debate.
II that is done. the District calendar
ought to be cleaned up tomorrow. AS
far as is known. there Is now no contro-
versy over six of the other measures
that codifying the insurance laws of the
DEtrlct except tn0Se regarding marine
and fra:ernal and benevolent insurance:
the child labor measure: that to pre-
serve Ford Theater as a Lincoln mu-
scum and veterans meeting place: that
relieving banks and trust companies
from liability regarding joint deposits.
giving females equal rights with males
under law OF descent and distribution
and to give the Junior Order of Ameri-
can Mechanics the same privilege as
other fraternal and benevolent societies
Considerable opposition is expected to
the compromise bill increasing the SAL
aries of police and firemen. The COM
promise raises all men on the force $500
each and gives some of the officers up
% $500 increase. The Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations has opposed this in
crease. the District Commissioners have
not Endorsed it. and considerable oppo-
sition Is looked for from members of the
appropriation committee. who believe
that other District employees deserve in
creases in preference. because their
salarics have not yet been brought up
to the rate allowed by the classification
board.

PROTECE OF FORD.
Crooks Played big Part in Designing
Of "Flivver" Plane.

Of "Flivver" Plane.
DETROIT. February IS LP).--Harry
Brooks. IS, who Is believed to have
piloted a "flivver" airplane into the
ocean of Melbourne. Fla. tonight, was
a protege of Henry Ford. the motor
king.
The "fiivver" plane was for the most
part a product of his own design. and
with it he firmly believed he would lead
the way toward bringing about sue
cessful manufacture OF plane within
the reach Of persons of ordinary fina0-
cial circumstances.
The experiment attracted the atten-
ton of the entire aircraft industry and
was pronounced successful by It's
;,,pnsors when Brooks last week broke
the world record for sustained flight
of airplanes of 40-horsepower or less
by plotting the little ship from Detroit
to Titusvil!e. Fla. On air line distance
Of approximately $40 miles.
A few weeks previously. he made an
unsuccessful attempt to break the rec
ord. the plane being forced down In the
Carolinas. At the time Of his previous
attempt Ford was out at the airport
here before dawn. assisting the young
pilot in putting the finishing touches
on the machine. Even after Brcoks
started taxing the plane down the field
for take-off. Ford ran after him shout
ing final injunctions to the flyer to take
every precaution for his own safety
Don't mind the plane" Ford shout
cd. we can build another. Watch your
self"
When Brooks made his second hop
Off. Ford in Miami received reports
through the Associated Press on the
progress Of the fight. Edsel Ford was
WITH Brooks at the start here.
Brooks was chief test pilot Of the
Stout-Ford Airplane Co. and gained In
ternational prominence when he piloted
Mrs. Evangeline l.. L. Lindbergh, Col
Charles A. Lindbergh's mother. to Mex
leo and return. He had been employed
by the Ford Co about four years
More than q year ago, he developed
and built at the Ford factory his first
lair fiivver," which was larger than
the plane In which h. fell. The orig
inal small plane was powered with a
three-cylinder engine, whereas the
latest departure in small aircraft had
two-cylinder motor.
Brooks. an unas1uming and modest
youth. could be found practically any
day at the Ford airport. either In ship
or tinacring, or planning with a new
Idea.
He lived with his parents In Birming-
ham. Detroit suburb. and few both TO
and from work each day in his small
fiivrcr ship. An diversified automobile
garage housed the tiny craft at home
His father. joseph Brooks. fiddler in
Henry Fords old-time dance band. was
responsible for his entering the Ford
Motor Co, employ. After Brooks. ST..
had been engaged by Mr.. Ford. he told
the magnate of his sons longing for
airplanes and said that he spent more
time on building airplane models than
at anything else.
Ford was interested and told the
father to send his son TO see him. A
few days later young Brooks made his
appearance and was engaged. Mr.
Ford's paternal interest in the Aver has
been commented on much In flying
circles.
