In order that the air services
Of the Army and Navy should re-
ceive constant sympathetic super
vision and counsel, Congress
created the posts of Assistant
Secretary Of War for aeronautics
and Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy for aeronautics.
These posts, created in 1926,
are now vacant, Notwithstanding
the fact that the officials who
filled them for six years were
able to bring the air defense of
the nation up to a high point
and also to promote close CO.
operation between aviation and
the other branches of the Army
and Navy as had never been done
before. These posts ought to be
ttlled at once.
Law Provides 1900 Ships
AS regards the matter Of planes
and personnel for the Army, no
better solution has been offered
than that provided in the act Of
1926 which created the Air Corps.
The law provides for 1900 service
able planes. Inasmuch as some
1917 per cent of these planes are
constantly undergoing overhaul,
the necessary number to main
tain 1900 serviceable airplaneS is
approximately 1850.
To meet this the Army only
has 1,760 planes today, including
training school planes. This same
law provides that the Army Air
Corps should have 1850 regular
officers and $50 reserve officers
on extended active duty. The
Army Air Corps actually has ap-
proximately 1900 regular officers
and 272 reserve officers.
AS regards planes and person
mel needed for the Navy, am
strongly Of the opinion that naval
aviation should be on a basis
equivalent to that provided for
IN the London naval treaty.
Urges Plane Carriers
No one can claim that we Sc
cured any unjustifiable conces-
SionS at that time. Whether it
Is necessary to build all surface
vessels at this time may be an
open question. So far as the air
component of the Navy is con.
cerned, however, I am firmly of
the belief that we should con-
Struct Immediately our full quota
Of airplane carriers so as to have
in commission not less than six
carriers and the 2,065 airplanes
needed for the Navy under the
treaty provisions.

WOMAN FOILED
IN SUICIDE TRY

Mrs. Cecilia Martin, 20, Of the
800 block E st. N. W., is at Gallin-
ger Hospital with q bullet wound
in her left arm, received in an
alleged suicide attempt at her
home yesterday.
Mrs. Martins life was saved
when Thomas j. Traynor, 100
block North Capitol st., one Of
several callers at the home, seized
her right arm ,as she attempted to
shoot herself.
Her husband, Thomas, said she
had been respondent because Of
long continued pain from sinus
trouble and had threatened to
commit suicide before.

astringent and blot the skin dry. Ap-
ply your skin lotion and finish the
makeup. Be sure that you take suf1-

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK

But everybody apparently was wrong.
For just when they thought new
Huey had come into being. out sprang
the old Huey with as much fire and
thunder as he had shown before.
The administrators industrial re-
covery bill set him off, but before he
had wound up he had put many Of his
cards on the table. The woman who
made lard at hog killing time in her
backyard, the man in the rural sections
who shOuldered his ak and went into
the woods to hew crossties for railroads
would be put out or business under the
terms Of the bill, he shouted. He didn't
care what others might do, but as for
himself he intended to take care of the
women at the wash pots" who he said
had given him whatever political stand
ing he had.
He went after Joe Robinson, the
Democratic leader, again and renewed
that old feud. He threatened to go into
Arkansas at next election time" (when
Robinson comes up for re-election)
apparently in an effort to get Robin
sons political scalp.
The whole thing was typical Of
Huey-the "kingfsh" going strong
When he had finished, Robinson
waded into him. Not since the time
the Democratic leader took Tom Hef1in
of Alabama over the hurdles for his
attacks on the Catholic church in the
Senate has Robinson dealt so severely
with one of his Democratic brethren.
But the "kingfish'' came up from
the word lashing he received from
Robinson with the resiliency of rubber

Not nice seems to imply positive art.
The label is usually accompanied by
that word and the child gets the wrong
notion. Mud pies are dirty, STICKY
hands covered with eggs, mush or pan
cake dough are dirty. Mother Is horr1-
ned and the child is frightened.
We want the child to learn to behave
properly, to keep its hands where they
belong but we do not want him TO
recon from sticky, muddy, plastered
hands In dread and fear. Not nice, Is
not necessarily dirty. 1t is unwise to
teach a child this emphasis. We make

The garden soil is not dirt. 1t is soil.
