without decent landing fields.

is supervised from Washington. The
air mail service Is directed from the
Post Office Department here. The
National Aeronautic Association has
its headquarters here. All the larger
plane manufacturers and flying com
panies are represented In the capital
This Is the place whence in recent
years has come all enormous amount
of propaganda designed to make
America "air-minded." To-day 1t ap-

ties arc not far more "airminded
than Washington. they have at least
been quicker 10 demonstrate their

ports which make Washington's facil-
tiles look sick
Thanks to that fact. rain at inaug-
uration time prevented the large
demonstration by civilian airplanes
which had been carefully planned for
March I. The whole thing bad TO be
called off and owners or pilots of IS
planes were advised by wire to stay
away because OF dangerous landing
conditions.
Two private fields here were too
small to hold the visiting flyers. SO
arrangements had been made will,
the army to use Boiling Field, where
the SO or 60 army and navy planes
stationed here arc quartered.
After three or four days Of inter-
mittent rain the government field
became bog. spotted with danger

Wright. the member Of the inaugural
committee in charge Of tho civilian
aviation show and an experienced
pilot. decided that conditions were
too hazardous TO justify taking a
chance. The army and navy staged
4 limited air parade on inauguration
day with pilots thoroughly familiar
with the field.

In the last few years several gov
eminent planes have turned over OH
their noses at Boiling Field because
Of water holes or other surface condi-
lions. A satisfactory airport has to

SEEK LAST PART
Of LEPERS' FUND
More Than Million Raised in
Campaign to Aid Philip
pine Victims.

Westinghouse who, on May 1, 1927,
responded to an appeal from Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood for a fund of $2000,0 600
to eradicate leprosy in the Philippines
will have an opportunity to share in
the successful completion of a notable
work, under plans announced by the
trustees of the Leonard Wood Memorial
for the Eradication of LeproSy.
The trustees have designated May /
the anniversary of the battle of
Manila-as Philippine day. More than
$1,000 900 has been raised, and on May
] the people will be asked to complete
the memorial. 1t is hoped that every
city and town in the United States
might observe Philippine day. In
Washington, Robert Y. Fleming, presi-
dent of Riggs National Bank, will be
chairman for the observance.
100000 Lepers in World.
There are 100000 lepers in the
world, 10000 of whom are on the
Philippine Islands alone, and Culion, an
island 200 miles south of Manila, has
facilities for caring for 5000 of them.
Very little attention was paid to the
leprosy problem i'll the Philippines be-
fore the United States assumed reSpqn-
sibility for its government. However,
the Leonard Wood Memorial hopes to
4
necessary funds are raised.
In connection with the observance
OF Philippine day, the trustees of the
memorial state that the construction of
new buildings. of entire new units and
of one completely new leprosarium has
been begun at Culion The funds are
being expended in erecting laboratory
stations, living quarters for the staff,
receiving stations on neighboring is
lands. as well as increasing the person
mel for carrying on the work necessary
to complete wiping ont of the disease.
Actual maintenance of the colony.
the housing. feeding and clothing, is
taken care of by the Philippine gov
eminent, which gives 2 per cent of
the total governmental income. or one
third OF it's total health appropriation.
Children Live Amid Danger.
The memorial committee points out
that children of leprous parents are
born clean. but that the children's
home in the colony is too small to
accommodate another child and that
hundreds of children seem destined to
live in the leper colony and finally
become victims. The committee plans
to devote 100000 of the amount
raised to erect new and more ade-
quate building for children.
The Culion colony actually is an ex-
perimental station for the hundreds
Of leper camps and colonies in other
lands. DR.. H. Windsor Wade is the
American leprologist at Culion. He and
group of physicians trained in the
Philippines have been there for IL
years.
The trustees of the Leonard Wood
Memorial are: Gen. James G. Har-
bord, chairman; Gen. Samuel McRob-
erts, Robert L. Bacon. Eversly Childs,
Robert w. DeForest, DR.. John H. Fin
ley. Charles Evans Hughes, Arthur w.

GENERAL TREND OF
SCHEDULE CHANGES
HEADED DOWNWARD
Wool Is One Of Latest Examples
Of Shearing Activity Of the
Finance Committee

Washington. Aug. 1o.-(R-The
general trend Of rate changes trainers
Of the senate finance committee are
making, and news Of reductions In
the tariff imposts voted by the house
continues to trickle out.
Downward revision of a number
Of the increases proposed in the house
bill on which they are working a.
ready have been disclosed, affecting
chiefly industrial products. This haa
been offset by only . few increases
on commodities mainly agricultural
In nature. The controversial wool
schedule. however. Is one Of the lat
est examples Of the committees &C.
tivities along the line Of shearing In
creases off the house bill. In that
bill, the rate on raw wool was placed
three cents higher than In the pres
ent tariff law; that Is. at - cents q
pound instead of 81. The senate COM
mitteemen put It back at 81 cents
At the same time, they have restored
the house increase on fig duties, one
Of the few farm products they are
known to have cut.
In the information which seeped
out about the wool schedule. It was
not made clear whether changes were
made In the house rates on manu-
featured wool. The house voted in
creases in these duties all along the
line to compensate for the raise voted
In the raw wool impost.
