I'VE fully expect TO carry our fair

urge that you give serious consideration
TO our view In this regard"
Consult Attorneys.
It was revealed at the meeting that
the Board of Trade, following study of
the possibility Of the selection of an
airport outside the boundaries of the
District, obtained an opinion from its
law committee, concerning complica-
tons which would arise over the oues-
ton Of Jurisdiction and control Of the
port.
1t was commended by the law COM
nittee that the District government
could not have complete Jurisdiction
over an airport In MARYLAND or Virginia
unless the State in which il was located
coded the property to the District. The
Federal Government could take over
such site. but could not turn this
property over to the District for its
exclusive control or Jurisdiction, IL was
asserted, because of restrictions imposed
by the Federal Constitution.
Thus, it was argued, either the Fed
eral Government would have to main
tain jurisdiction over the Washington
airport or 1t would have to remain under
the Jurisdiction of the State in which it
was located. The trade body, 1t was
declared, would have to oppose such a
plan, II the cost Of the airport Is borne

however, when other District sites were
considered, placing emphasis on the
fact that washington needs an airnort

the trade body would not oppose a tenn

District, provided a great cost is not
imposed on District taxpayers. IT con-
tends, however, that the model airnort

Senator Bingham stated today that
the joint congressional commission has

puzzling to observers Of the long con-

last night, apparently answered o story

Meanwhile the day had passed with

President and Archbishop Ruiz y Flores
and Bishop Pascual DiaZ representing
the Roman church Archbishop Diaz,
in q statement denying the newspapers
purported revelations, said the next
conference with the President would be
"on call

Some placed the Interpretation of
the Presidents statements that he in
ferred something broader than mere
laws was under discussion and that the
negotiations had revolved about inter-
probation Of existing legislation rather
than changes in It. Others found In It
an indication Of increasing intran-
sigeance of attitude on the part Of the
administration.
Two sentences in the Presidents
statement received particular attention:
MY stand on this matter cannot be
any other than strict compliance with
my duty as chief magistrate OF the
nation, and In this connection the re-
sumption Of services within the republic
can be accomplished at any time 1t IL
desired. However this will always de-
pend upon the dignitaries of the Roman
Catholic Church having previously
subjected themselves TO the mandates
Of the general constitution and other
existing laws"

The fact that there was no confer

and that the eccleSiaStics said the next

taken to mean the negotiations had
broken down, but that the conferees
would get together again when either
side had something to present.

stunts in the air that send shivers along
the spinal columns of seasoned avn
ators that he may have forgotten that
the remainder of the population of
America is still getting ready for the
kindergarten so far as air travel Is
concerned.
According to Clark, leaping into space

Like the first hundred years OF LIE,
the first departure from plane in the

takes only moment, but 1t Is probably
the longest moment one who lives 1t
ever knows in all his life"
And speaking Of beginning in this
narrowing ieaping, which most OF us
hope we will be spared, he explained
that the first time flyer is generally
pulled off-that is, he walks out on a
wing holding to stud and then lets
the parachute 60. The big bag, OF
course, initiates and promptly jerks him
of into space.
slow-motion pictures of flyers trying

holds to the stud with all his strength
and to the very last. Such procedure
can easily be appreciated with the

INSECT life, in its war on the human
race. has obtained two more allies
for the campaign In the United States,
and five States and the District Of Co
lumbia are already the backgrounds
over which the engagements are being
fought.
The two new pests are Asiatic beetles.
related to the japanese green beetle,
that luSty foe of plant life which made
its entry into the United States through
a shipment of japanese iris and In
few years became one of the major
problems of the Department OF Agri-
culture because Of its potential menace.
The area in which the new beetles
have opened their destructive attacks
includes the vicinity of New Haven,
Conn; the southern tip Of New York
including Long Island; all Of New Jer-
sey, Eastern Pennsylvania, one section
Of the District of Columbia and Airing
ton County. Va.
The two beetles are known as
Anomala orientalis and Aserica castanea,
which in plain English have been called
the Asiatic beetle and the Asiatic garden
beetle.
Unlike their cousins, the japanese
green beetles, which seem willing to eat
almost anything that grows in the vege-
table kingdom, these two Asiatic beetles
seem rather choosy and much prefer
grass, particularly that of a well kept
lawn. However, If hard put, they have
no prejudice against nearby vegetables
or carefully cultivated nursery stock, but
their principal field Of destruction is the
lawn and the grass land.

DIR. Mann tells very interesting
story of what he terms "the master
stroke of animal intelligence" in his
experience.
"Soko," the big chimpanzee, had been
suffering with an aching tooth. It
was identified and after some maneu-
vering on the part of the keeper, the
tooth was extracted.
A few days afterward, when the
keeper passed by his cage, Soko knocked
on the bars to attract his attention and
waved to him to come closer. Opening
his mouth, Soko pointed to another
tooth on the other side, indicating by
his action that that, too, had been
bothering him and he wished it pulled.
This was promptly done, and he re-
ceived the entire cooperation Of the
chimpanzee.
TODAY, Humane Sunday" many
win stop and give q little thought
to that vast cavalcade of dumb beasts
that shares the animal kingdom with
man.
The intelligence of the dog and
horse, mans most beloved dumb
friends, is now an accepted fact, and
each day brings striking and beautiful
incidents Of the intelligent faithful-
ness Of these animals. Yet the intelli-
gence Of the horse Is largely q question

bag and ropes make up square can

tached a harness that goes on the body
Of the flyer. Pilots sit on the packed
parachute; the passenger may hold 1t
on his lap. There is no law or legal
requirement or regulation at present
requiring commercial pilots or passen-
gers to wear parachutes, but neverthe-
less most commercial flyers wear them.
CLARK and his fellow Caterpillar
- Club members hold that parachute
may be as foolproof as life preserv----
All that one has to do is to jerk r1.z
that hangs on the left breast and let TIA
apparatus do the rest.
"And, believe me. no one Is likely tn
forget or be too scared to find that
ring" Clark added. You will finz
your hand reaching out for 1t natu-
rally"
The chief danger Is in pulling It too
quickly and risking a fouling Of the bag
with some part of the plane. This star
jumper saws:
II usually wait about two seconds. or
until fall about 80 feet, before pulling
the cord"
The advice is offered for what It may
be worth. Be sure to count just 30
feet, that's all Then you are to pull the
cord, gently or quickly, as you may elect.
| BY throwing ones weight more on
some than on other cords leading to
the bag the parachutes direction may
be guided considerably. This enables
the Jumper to exercise some discretion
in the matter of landing place.
Don't swing your body in an effort
to control the parachute" Clark d.
reefs. IF you once get going like a
pendulum, you can't stop and will hit
the ground with wallop. That may
t1ean a broken leg. You should come
Gown straight. feet foremost, and land
with the body relaxed and 'inclining
backward so as to avoid falling and
being dragged on your face"
1t may be added. however, that in
purchasing bag the Army type is
worth consideration. These are beau
tifully made, and doubtless will be fur
nished to suit the complexion Of the
jumper-after he has jumped. They
are interlined with strong cords and so
scanned that no single rip is likely to
extend very far.
Both the Army and the Navy main
tain schools for parachute jumpers.
That Of the first Is at Chanute Field,
ILL.,, where in 1921 Lieut.. Arthur o.
Hamilton leaped from a plane when
$4,000 feet above ground and came down
safely. Sergt. Enoch Chambers leaped
from plane when flying near Kansas
City at height of 10000 feet.
And NOT to forget the ladies: The
woman's jumping record Is held by Miss
Phoebe Fairgrove, who made a descent
OF 1920 feet at CurtiSs Field In 1921.
