AIRPORT SITE URGED
BY CITIZENS GROUP
Randle Highlands Association
Backs Area Near District
Line and Suitland Road.

An area of land lying between the
Southern Maryland road ard the con-
crete road to Suitland. Md. one-half
mile from the District of Columbia
Maryland line and embracing four sep
arate tracts, was proposed for acquisi-
ton as the municipal airport last night
by the Randle Highlands Citizens As
ISOLATION at its meeting in the Orr
School, Twenty-second and Prout
streets southeast.
Robert Robinson, member of the as
ISOLATION, proposed the resolution which
the association adopted, in which the
merits of the Suitland site for an air.
port were set forth Mr.. Robinson cited
the elevation of the land as valuable
through its height above fog levels. The
land includes the Providence Hospital
farm, the Cary Co. tract, the Harris
tract and a smaller farm. In all, Mr..
Robinson said, 500 acres could be ac-
quired and conditioned at low cost
Besides the airport proposition the
association considered at length the
1881 street-paving estimates for its To-
cality Placing it first on its list of
streets in need of improvement, the as
ISOLATION agreed to seek the paving of
Naylor road southeast from Good Hope
Hill to Fairlawn Park. The association
agreed the second most urgent street
improvement was @ street southeast.
The street at present extends only
through the $500 block, making it nee
essary for the pupils of the Orr School
to walk through ravines to reach their
classrooms or else take a roundabout
route several blocks longer.

FISHER WILL STUDY
MODEL BUS DEPOTS
Commission Secretary to
Make Inspection Trip
on S170 Fund.

determined to obtain first-hand In
formation on the financing, operation
and regulation of model motor bus
terminals in other cities, the Public
Utilities Commission today decided to
spend $170 of the $240 balance IN its
contingent fund to send Earl v. Fisher,
executive secretary, on an inspection
trip.
The trip was planned several weeks
ago and subsequently Cancelled. due to
a ruling of Daniel j. Donovan, auditor
and budget officer, which prevented the
Commissioners from contributing sew
eral hundred dollars of District funds
toward the expenses. At that time John
w. Childress, chairman of the COM
mission. intended to accompany Fisher
Rather than abandon the trip en-
tirely IN view of the Importance he at
tached to it, Chairman Childress took
the question up again with the commits
sion, and as result Fisher was dele
gated to go alone, and visit as many
cities as possible with the $40.
An extensive itinerary had been
mapped out for the original trip, but
Fisher announced he would be forced to
condense it materially to keep within
the $170 allotment. He expects to
leave the latter part of the week.
Information gathered by Fisher will
be used by the commission in pushing
its campaign for the erection in Wash
ington of a union bus depot for the
lines engaged in interstate transporta-
ton. AS soon as Fisher returns Chair
man Childress said the commission
would call public hearing of all op-
orators of motor bus lines coming into
Washington to discuss plans for the

WIDOW MARRIES WEEK
AFTER MATES DEATH
Mrs. Dorsey, Whose Husband
Killed Self Here Week Ago, WEEDS
Divorce in Reno.

Just one week after death severed the
ties of her first marriage the former
Mrs. Margaret NJ. Dorsey Of this city.
widow of DIR. John S. Dorsey, who COM
mitted suicide Monday of last week,
was married again in Reno, New, and
today is honeymooning with her new
husband, Tolla r. Boswell, jr., of Easton,
Pa, in the State TO which she had gone
to obtain a divorce.
Boswell was granted divorce from
Mrs Dorothy Hoag Boswell yesterday
Just five minutes before the marriage
ceremony with Mrs. Dorsey was per-
formed. The death of Dr. Dorsey made
the completion of his widows court ac-
ton unnecessary. She learned of th2
suicide of the Washington physician
from dispatches Saturday.
With the former Mrs. Dorsey are her
three children. whom she had requested
be given into her custody by the court
DR., Dorsey was found dead in his bed

where he roomed, April q, ..x....

on the cabinet, which added a touch of
color to colonial households. A lorg
line of American clocks was presented
to the collection by the New Haven
Clock Co. Some of these, such as the
cumbersome ''wagon-spring clock" were
constructed to run 80 days without re-
winding.
The invention of the watch came
shortly after that of the pendulum
clock by DR.. Robert Hooke in England
in 1860. He had observed that wheel,
pivoted at the hub and oscillated by q
spring, obeyed the same law as a pen
dulum. He first used pigs bristle as
spring. For the first time there was
an instrument which would tell time
regardless of its position.
Watches continued expensive and
cumbersome until 1875, when Jason r.
Hopkins of Washington patented a
watch movement which he believed
could be sold for SO cents. A company
was formed which expended $251, 900
before it failed. A CHI - watch, con-
sisting of So parts, was invented three
years later by D. A. D. Buck of Wor-
cester Mass, and was sold for 81. From
this time on the progress was rapid
toward the dollar watch. The cheap
watch, according to Carl Mittman. Gu
rator of the division of mechanical
technology is Americas one great con-
tribution to the science Of time-record-
ing instruments. A long series of
watches obtained from the United
States Patent Office is shown.
Primitive methods of telling time are
still found throughout the world, the
exhibit shows. The crudest OF these is
the burning of knotted rope made OF
twisted strands of grass, the time re-
CURED to burn between the knots be-
ing the standard interval In some
parts of China natives still burn at
night the gong heuDg," or time in
censc. This consists of stick approx
imately 16 inches long made of pressed
wood dust mixed with inter. The length
of the sticks is regulator for the chang
ing seasons so that exactly five of them
will burn during the hours of darkness.
Among South American Indians and
in the South Sea Islands both light
and time measure are furnished By
burning candle nuts" strung together
on shaft Of palm wood. They have
WaxV composition and the standard
| time interval is that required To burn
one nut. The time candle, with hour
| symbols marked on the wax, was used
| in ancient England. The time lamp, by
which the progress of the hours was
| calculated from the rate at which oil
burned, was in use until comparatively
recently in some places.
The use of this last device was given
| its death blow by the invention of the
radiant-faced watch for telling time at
night. Before this, about the only de-
vice for telling time in darkness was a
| burning lamp placed behind vertical
shaft marked with time symbols ar
ranged according to the rate at which
| the oil burned. Time was read by the
| shadow of the oil on the shaft.
A curious method still in use in some
parts of Korea Is to keep track of the
| time by the rate tobacco burns in a
pipe. The time required to empty the
| bowl is the standard interval and the
| official timekeeper must smoke con-
stantly At Q uniform rate ot putting. :
