Classified Ads In The
Citizen Brings Results

"That's what | call quick
service" stated Benjamin
Sawyer of the Lopez Funeral
Home to a representative of
The Citizen today when he
requested that the classified
advertisement which he has
been running to sell his AZ
foot cabin cruiser be can
eelled.
The boat was sold this
morning to S. c. Anderson of
Coral Gables who on seeing
the advertisement in The Citii
zen called on MIR. Sawyer and
after taking a look at the
cruiser, purchased it.
This is only another in
stance demonstrating the
pulling power of Citizen clas-
sified advertisements. The
investment of a few cents
usually means big returns to
the advertiser.

vivid personalities and quaint re-

where the cultures and traditions
of two continents overlap, Latin

where green turtle steak, arrOz

nearly every menu-where steam

where living has an exotic tang

South from Miami over the Fed

motorist travels through an area
familiar to most visitors to South

glimpses of groves of Grapefruit,

Works Administration call for the
construction at the local field of one
of the most completely equipped termi-
nal and administration buildings in the
world The administration decided
against the proposal.
This building. which would be In
keeping with the Federal buildings in
Washington in design, would exceed in
the perfection of its appointments the
administration buildings at the world
famous airports of London, Paris, Ber-
lin and Rome it is claimed.
An estimate of cost of 100000 for
this building was presented to P. w. A..
officials. The structure would be 200
feet long by 100 feet wide and two
stories high
The arrangement Of the waiting room

TREE DESTRUCTION
BRINGS PROTEST
Federation Demands Traffic
Problems Be Solved With
out Sacrifice.

d. A demand that the District govern
ment solve the traffic problem here
without further futile sacrifice of trees"
was made today by the Federation OF
Social Service Societies,
In a resolution adopted at the fed
eration's last meeting Monday, the
organization denounced the policy as
"short-sighted and superficial" and de-
clared the "deplorable destruction OF
trees" not only has failed to solve the
traffic problem, but is resulting in the
rapid deterioration of property. The
resolution follows:
=: whereas the policy of destroying
more and more of the shade trees In
Washington's streets and parks as an
attempted means of solving the tratf1c
problem has proven and will continue TO
prove futile. since the results thereof
are Immediately nullihed by outgrown,
wasteful, individualiStic methods OF prl-
vate transportation which are allowed
to persist and increase to an unlimited
extent without adequate RESTRICTIONS
and
Whereas this deplorable destruction
OF trees is resulting in rapid deterlora-
ton of property values in all parts of
the city as Washington loses its tradi-
tional charm and reputation as a de-
sirable residential city. therefore
BE it, Resolved that we heartily de-
nounce in its entirety this short-sighted
and superficial policy and demand that
a resolution of traffic problems be found
not in further futile sacrifice of trees,
but in further restrictions on unneces-
sary private vehicles and abolition in
the congested areas of the use of public
streets as free garages"

WILLARD PLEASED
BY EASTMAN VIEWS
B. & 0. President Discusses Re.
port to I. C. c. on Owner

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 24-Daniel
Willard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, said yesterday that, gen.
orally speaking, he was well satisfied"
and much encouraged" by the recent
report to the Interstate Commerce
Commission of Joseph B. Eastman. Fed
eral co-ordinator of transportation.
"Mr. Eastman frequently has stated
in public addresses his views concern
ing Government ownership and opera
tion Of the railroads" Mr.. Willard said,
land what he has said in that connec-
ton in his report to the Interstate
Commerce Commission was, of course,
no surprise. To those who do not
share his views concerning that mat
ter. 1t was encouraging that he should
say that in any event there seemed to
be no aggressive desire just now for
Government ownership, and regardless
OF his personal views he did not recon-
mend 1t for consideration at this time.
THE views which the co-ordinator
expressed concerning any grand plan
Of consolidation were also satisfactory
to me. and I agree with him that such
q plan could not be Immediately if at
all imposed upon the railroads with
out creating and having to overcome
opposition which will probably inter-
fere for some time with the successful
working out of such an arrangement
I did not gather from anything that
was said in the report that he was op-
posed in principle to consolidation OF
the railroads along lines in harmony
with the policy announced by Congress
In the transportation act of 1920, and
I think it might fairly be supposed that
constructive efforts on the part of the
railroad executives to make effective
consultations Of the character along
lines appr oved by the Interstate Com
merce &C commission would not neces-
sarily have his opposition and might
indeed have his support"

and parcel room on his left. Express
and mail Offices would occupy the cor
ners Of the building, of the waiting
room.
The four passageways to the planes
would open from the waiting room and
the telescoping canopies would be ex-
tended directly to the door Of the plane.
A wide concrete apron or loading plat
form would extend around three sides
of the building, connecting directly
with the runwayS system Of the airport.
The plans submitted tc public works
officials call for a formal fountain di.
rectly in front Of the administration
building, between it and the present
airport swimming pool building, now
separated from the airport proper by
Military road.
In its arrangement, the proposed
terminal would be better than any
existing structure Of the kind here or
abroad. it is claimed 1t would obviate
the difficulty encountered at the great
Templehof airport at Berlin. where
passengers must walk several hundred
feet through the open to an unshel-
tered loading platform. Passengers
also are loaded and unloaded without
protection at Croydon airport, London,
and lie Bourget at Paris, though they
do not have to walk as far from the
