thoroughly familiar with aeronauti-
cal problems. preferably fiier; one
who had administrative ability and
could be relied upon to understand
the viewpoint of pilots, legislators
and naval officers.
In the youthful Ohioan the presi-
dent chose an ambitious executive
who twice was elected to the Ohio
state legislature. where he demon
strated ability to combine his
knowledge of law and aviation by
framing an air code for Ohio. In
the Buckeye state he won the title
of the flying legislator" through
frequent trips in his own plane
from Cleveland to Columbus.
ingalls, was flying with the navy's
air forces when IS years old, and
became an ace with four enemy
planes and two balloons to his
credit at 10. Soon after joining the
naval reserve forces as an ensign
in 1917, he was ordered abroad and
was attached to the British air
force.

BRIDGE PROJECT
IS TO Be PUSHED
Arlington Official Says R., F.
& P. Railroad Span Is Un-
safe After rs Years.
By a stan Correspondent Of The star.


ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, April 3.-While they have
received q letter from the oficials of
the r., F. & p. r. r., stating that they
have taken the matter under advise
ment, the board Of county supervisors
will spare no effort to insure construc-
ton of q new bridge across the COM
pany's tracks at the intersection of the
Washington Alexandria pike and WASH
ington avenue, 1t was stated today by
Edward Duncan, chairman Of the board
Of supervisors.
The present bridge has been in use
for IS years, Duncan said, and Is now
unsafe for the heavy traffic that passes
over 1t daily. There is q sign on the
bridge to the effect that no load of
more than Is tons Is allowed to pass
over 1t.
with the State planning to widen
the Washington-Alexan pike this
Summer, the supervisors are of the
opinion that something should be Inn
mediately done about the old bridge,
which, even when new, was not de-
signed to carry the type Of vehicles that
now pass over 1t by the thousands daily.
There have been many serious acct
dents at the west end Of the bridge,
Duncan pointed out, because all Of the
traffic to the South must make q sharp
left turn into Washington avenue when
approaching the bridge. The railroad
owns the land on both sides Of the
tracks, he said, and the bridge should
be placed at such an angle as to pre-
vent sharp turns.
The supervisors have officially taken
the matter up with the railroad authori-
ties and expect to keep 1t alive until
some definite action Is taken.

ROCKVILLE, Md, April 3.-onposi-
ton to the location Of q cemetery on q
20o-acre tract on the Persimmon Tree
road, In Potomac district, near the Con-
gressional Country Club property, was
manifested here yesterday, when the
county commissioners held hearing on
petition Of Edward H. Jones, Harry
NJ. Martin, L. e. Poteet and James d.
Woodroe for permit to establish and
MAINTAIN the proposed burial park"
An ordinance recently adopted by the
commissioners provides for hearings on
all applications for the establishment of
burying grounds anywhere in the
county, and that Of yesterday was the
first to be held under that ordinance.
The protestants included Attorney
Stephen r. Collady, representing the
Congressional Country Club; Attorney
w. W. Ross, who appeared for q real
estate syndicate, and q number Of own
ers Of property In the neighborhood,
including Prot. L. II. Crook, Mrs. Lilly
Stone. A. w. Brewster, Mrs. Lyman B.
Kendall, Mrs. Sprinkle and Col. Lem
nard Mitchell. Attorney Julian w.
Whiting was present In behalf Of the
interests Of the Lyman B. Kendall
estate.
Il was held that establishment of the
proposed cemetery would depreciate
property values, prove deleterious to
health, retard the development of the
community and be generally undesir-
able. On the other hand, It was con-
tended bv Attorney William r. Pretty
man, Messrs. Poteet, Jones and James
e. Ellis that such cemetery as It Is
proposed TO establish would be o place
Of beauty and would enhance rather
than depreciate property values In the
|neighborhood. It was also insisted that
. drainage system It Is planned 70 in-
stall would render impossible any con-
tamination OF nearby water supplies and
eliminate all possibility Of anything like
insanitary conditions developing.
Mr.. poteet told the commissioners
that the burial park, as he termed It,
1t Is proposed 10 establish on the 400
acre tract would be similar In character
To several beautiful institutions Of the
kind he. had helped locate in other Sec
tons Of the country: that steps would
be taken to insure its perpetual care:
that IL would be modern IN every de-
tail, and that 1t would prove q real
asset to the county.
Both sides expressed desire to pro-
duce experts to testify IS TO the prob
able effect of the proposed cemetery on
the values Of nearby property, and the
commissioners adjourned the hearing
until o'clock next Tuesday, when ar-
