Airport for Washington Is

WASHINGTON the one city the country which should

Congressional and municipal official wires crossed
noted airen are divided their views to site for
municipal airport and Congress indifferent under the cnao
enthusiasm over the reception here of the latest heroes
Of aviation has appreabe effect the local airport
problem which will fall to rest with the adjournment OF
Congress.
Cen William Mitchell has added to the uncertainties by
proposing that Boiling Field be developed for commercial
aviation He asserts that could be done easily and at
comparatively small Area enough be obtained at
Boiling Field to concentrate there all Government flying
activities and all commercial business for some years to come
His ideas are worth careful consideration.
General Nches views in harmony with many District
and Government officials The Government supreme in the
District I is deeply concerned IN promoting av1aon
than all local interests combined
civil airport should be built here largely the expense
of Washington taxpayers the Government would reserve
rights as to control taking For that reason the
District Commissioners and the people Of Washington feel
Government should share equally In the cost OF
construction Of modern flying establishment.
Washington people not without lack OF CIVIC spirit IN
this matter but they know full well that such airport
would not permanently remain under District control
The cost Of modern airport at Graveley Point on the
Potomac is put at not less than $OOOO That site appears
be favored by most experts in air fields The District
Government agree share equally in the cost of field
there, or at Benning elsewhere The taxpayers of
Washington will willingly do their part.
It is most regrettabe that legislative approval Of modern
airport in Washington far up in the air. Throughout
country rapid progress being made the construction OF
civil apors and arways Air commerce is being fostered
with energy.
There are already about airports the United States
and 800 cities actively considering the selection of sites
Department of Commerce estimates that by the end of
June approximately 1900 aports will be in operation

American Cities though have freedom of action Their
citizens pass their needs and act promptly Washington
in such happy position Congress is the ruling power
here and Congress act especially official and

the spirit that can come to man.
For love is what you are. Love
is-what have you?
What have you of generosity
imagination, humor, tenderness
fairness, loyalty, unselfishness:
humility, honesty, patience ana
good sense?
From such stuff is real love
made. without these qualities
there can he no real love.
You may "fall'' fiercely for
some other person but unless you
have the essentials of fine human
conduct in your spirit, the ex-
perience will be no nobler than
any other passing tantrum.

hadn't happened to hear about it.
That is true.
Love is the name of an ex-
perience which has played such a
large part in human history that
we all think we must undergo It.
But many of us never get be-
yond the name. And often that
name covers impulses and atti-
tudes which are anything but
lovely.
Your love is as great as your
spiritual capacity.
1t is as true as your desire.
Love is the most misused term
on earth. 1t is our favOrite alinl

merely a desire to bully which
we can't satisfy with our inn
