Of KILLING
MEASURE

The resolution enabling the
Joint Congressional Commits

immediate start on purchase of
a site for the proposed model

thousand of being passed by
House and Senate today.
Representative Charles L. Under

the measure was as good as dead
The Democrats in the House have
Withdrawn their support from the
resolution. according to Underhill,
and consequently it cannot pass
under a unanimous consent pro-
cedure.
LOngworth Objects
The only alternative would be for
Chairman Will r. Wood, of the Ap-
preparations Committee. to move
that the rules be suspended and the
resolution passed. Underhill said
this was impossible, as he under
stood that Speaker Longworth will

luton through" said Underhill,

BILE for it's failure? The attitude Of
the Washington newspapers and a
good many people here. We were
trying to get Congress to appropri-
ate 100000 from the Federal Treas
ury by this resolution. to let us
save money for the Government by
buying land or options on land for
an airport. But it seems now that
all the money to be appropriated
for this purpose will have to come
out of District appropriation bills
Underhill declared the attitude Of
certain forces in Washington, In
demanding that the Federal Gov
ernment bear a greater share of the
airport's cost, was instrumental in
killing the resolution.
The measure seemed assured of
passage in the House several days
ago. when it was first brought up
by Chairman Wood as a unanimous
consent request. The resolution
had the backing of President
Hoover, who asked House leaders
to pass 1t as a piece of emerg-
ency legislation.
Representative John Garner, OF

not to object to the passage of the
resolution, II remained for Rep

measure by an objection on the
grounds that the Federal Govern
ment was not spending any money
on airports in his district.
Underhill said that Huddleston's
objection was motivated by an edi-
torial which appeared in a Wash
ington newspaper of that date.

declined to extend his support to
the resolution.

was asked to consider the advisa-
bility of locating the airport on

screens, taking to the side
walks with their motorcycles.
Nine hundred and twenty-four
quarts of corn liquor were con-
fiscated, another rum car was
seized and two arrests were made.
Two other men escaped on foot
after being cornered. One of the
. machines was caught by chance.
Earl Baker, 6 motorcycle man OF
the Second precinct. was at Seventh
and S Streets Northwest when a
heavily laden, expensive automobile
sped by. He set out after 1t.
70-NIile Speed
The speed of the rum machine
was advanced to more than 10 miles
an hour as soon as it's occupants
realized they were being chased.
After taking a zig.zag course to
r Street and Kingman Place North
west, the bootleggers realized they
were about to be caught.
Alarmed, they resorted to their
ace in the hole-the smoke screen
apparatus. Huge clouds soon were
belching from the rear of their car
as it careened around corners on
two wheels.
The pace was fast and furious.
Traffic lights were utterly dis
regarded. Stop signs might as well
not have existed. Innocent motorists
who happened along were forced to
pun to the curb to avoid being
wrecked.
The smoke soon became SO thick,
} breathing was difficult Baker, also
had trouble seeing. His eyes
burned, The white fumes were so
thick in the street that Baker ran
up on the sidewalks to stay in the
race.
The chase took Baker in and out
and around and about the entire
northwest section. 1t led through
alleys at times. The policeman
even lost the car once, only to cut
it off and resume his efforts to
overtake> it.
The smoke finally became SO
annoying, however. that Baker was
forced to abandon the chase at

This was at $50 a. m. Less than

Python Eats His Mate
Wrong End First
To His Sorrow

NASHUA, N. H, Aug. 27.-A 16-
foot python at Benson's wild ami.
NAL farm In Hudson swallowed L.
foot brother. John T. Benson,
owner of the farm, says the rep
tile now appears to regret the act.
Apparently the bigger snake now
has a stomach ache because he was
so hungry he forgot which way his
victim was pointing and swallowed
him in the wrong direction. Ac.
cordingly, when the 16-footer wants
to go forward the victim is trying
to progress in the opposite direc-
tion, and this tends to cut down the
big boa's speed.
Nothing can be done about it,
says Mr.. Benson Something might
be done but that is up to the py-
thon on the outer surface by free
ing his smaller relative" Efforts
by employees to straighten out mat
ters between the two serpents have
proven unavailing.
1t is the second time during the
week that the 16-foot python has
gone on the warpath. A few days
ago smaller cage mate fell prey to
the appetite of the huge snake but
employees in the vicinity of the
cage rescued the victim before he
was entirely swallowed. Today,
however, no witnesses were around
when the big python's hunger over.

cordingly playing Jonas in his

AUTOGIR0LANDS
WITHOUT ROLL .

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-For
the first time in this country, a
heavier-than-air craft succeeded in
making a landing absolutely with
out roll. Juan de Ia Cierva, Span
ish inventor of the autogiro, demon
strating the latest model of his
windmill plane" at the Pitcairn
Flying Field in Bryn Athyn, brought
it easily to a stationary landing
amid the applause of a group of
pilots, technicians and flying stu
dents. ..s.
with the machines tail way
down, placing the plane at an angle
which would have been suicidal in
any ordinary airplane, "squashinz
in few feet against the wind
then allowing the wheels to touch
the ground without jar, the avia-
tor completed the first flight.
He made four flights, and seemed
somewhat chagrined on the third
when the machine rolled about 10
feet on alighting.
Previous models of the autogiro
had been tested here, but experts
found the newest design, which was
built in England and completed on
the morning Senor de la Cierva's
ship sailed for this country, much
superior in several respects.
After his first flight the inventor
guided the machine into the air to
demonstrate especially its quick take
off. In the past, autogiros have
had to do a great deal of taxying
around on the ground before the
rotors or windmill" blades have
attained sufficient number of
revolutions to sustain them in the
air.
In his new model Senior de la
Cierva has huilt the tail so that it
can be tilted almost vertically and
the air stream from the propeller is
DETECTED upward, acting as a self
starter" on the "vanes." The auto
giro took off in less than half the
space required by an airplane which
took off at the same time.

July l. practically all former pro-
fessors have been dropped by notice
through letters he sent out.
The fact that there is only one
colored dentist for each 10000 of the
celored population of the United

enlarge the department into a full
time program with professors giving
their undivided attention to it. -
Drs. Mitchell, Hardy, Edwards

and Gould, dropped from the faculty,
contemplate forming private
school of dentistry to accommodate
students engaged in gainful occu-
pations and unable to give univer-
sity hours to the study.
