ARLINGTON INCREASES
SCHOOL TAX Is CENTS
Action of County Supervisors Fol-
lows Recommendations for 25
More on 500 Valuation.

Special Dispatch 20 The Star.
CLARENDON. March 23-D Despite
the fact that the directors of the Ar
lington County Chamber of Commerce
had reached the conclusion that an in
crease tax levy Of 25 cents on the 500
valuation was essential to the proper
operation and maintenance of the
school system. and its findings had
been approved by mass meeting of
citizens. the board of supervisors at a
special meeting yesterday agreed that
only Is cents should be allowed. At the
same time the board tentatively decided
to increase the levy for county pur-
poses Is cents on the 500 assessed val
uation.
In recommendation to the supervisors,
40 board cf tho chamber pointed out
that while the increase will permit the

sufficient sum to curtail the short time

can readily see that interest on this
sum, which Is approximately $4,000

The only way to get rid of this debt
is to pay It. IF ST levy is allowed there

The school board at a meeting this
week commended the chamber for its
careful study of the school situation and
agreed that the only way to pay debts
and to run the schools properly was for
the citizens to pay the amount asked
for. The county budget for l92S-9 is in
its course of preparation and will be
considered bv the board at meeting
in the near future The new levy under

GIANT AIRPLANES SOON TO

PHILADELPHIA.-Airplsnes big ger, safer and swifter, with sleeping compartments for. passengers in wings seven feet thick, were prophe- sled by Charles Lawler, inventor of the Wright Whirlwind motor.
 New fuel lighter. than gasoline will be developed, thus increasing the load carrying capacity, in the opinion of Henry Ford.
 There is little douht hut. that air planes will become the principal me- dium of long-distance. expensive expensive transportation, but the fu- ture of aviation and it's possibilities cannot be predicted, Orville Wright, father of aviation, believes.
 These views were expressed in ad- dresses on the occasion of their visit to the Franklin Institute, where Ford was awarded the gold medal for achievements in automobile ,produc- tion. Lawrence said coming planes will be so large that it will be possi- ble for mechanics to work .ols the en- zines in flight and in fact they will be able to take engines down while flying. The -airplane will be one of the greatest factors in ,.abolishing war, he believes.
