The Smith bill for development of
a municipal airport at Gravelly Point
should be amended to remove the re-
quirement that the District pay 3 per
cent interest on the Districts one-half
share of the cost of the port, the Dis
rict Commissioners declared today In
a report on the measure.
The cost of the airport has been
estimated at $2,500,00O and the Dis
trict's share would be repaid in five
equal installmentS beginning 10 years
after completion of the airport.
The terms contained in the bill
sponsored by Representative Smith of
Virginia were debated at recent
hearing at the Capitol. In their re-
port on the bill today the Commis-
sioners said they had insisted the Dis
trict should not be required to pay in
tereSt, but that Judge Smith feels
there is no chance for the bill to pass
unless it provides for interest"
Revision Was Ordered.
They recalled that after the con-
gressional hearings Walter l.. Fowler,
assistant corporation counsel, was di-
rected to cooperate with Judge Smith
and Thomas S. Settle of the Park and
Planning Commission in drawing a
revised bill.
After its preparation the Commits
sioners approved the bill. Before the
bill was introduced, however, Judge
Smith made the change providing for
the payment of interest, the Commits
SionerS stated.
A special meeting of the House Dis
trict Committee probably will be held
Monday or Tuesday night to consider
the local airport situation. Printed

Wild Geese Honk Enthusiasm
Crossing Aviation Light Here

airplanes look very much like water
under floodlights, even to the keen
eyes Of q wild goose. In Des Moines,
Iowa, recently Mr.. Darling saw q mi
gratory flock come circling down into
the airport lights.
"That airport was new one on
the cid leader" Darling said. HE
set his wings to glide in to q water
landing, followed by the whole flight.
Instead of gliding into water. the
flock skidded, rolled and tumbled on
the concrete. They lost q lot OF
feathers and all Of their dignity.
Generally speaking, q wild goose
is no fool. But that flock certainly
did look foolish-just Q lot OF geese
led by an old goose!"
The directional sense OF the wild
goose, while incredibly accurate most
Of the time, is by no means tnfallible.
Thick weather, wind storms and other
natural hazards sometimes confuse
whole focks and lead them to de-
struction.
Mr.. Darling said he would be happy
enough to have the flocks led BY air
beacons, but doubted II the geese have
learned that much about aviation yet.

~ YOU'D hardly know the old
- " Army now," a busted"
sergeant said this morning
L at Boiling Field. There
were practically tears in his
eyes as he recalled the six different
bitches" he had done in Coast Artil-
lery posts and In Infantry barracks.
Why" he said, they've got every
thing but finger bowls in the mess
halls-I beg your pardon, sir, cafe
terias." a..
With a warning not to let the
general staff know that one soldier.
at least, felt that things are coming
to q pretty pass, the hard-boiled old
top-kick Of former days-now doing
K. P. in the modernized kitchen Of
a cafeteria-lit his pipe and peeled
another spud.
It is about the Army's new plan to
install cafeterias in all posts where
practicable. :.
Naturally, the morale of the Army
Is being improved with all this modern
service, comparable to anything on the
outside, and in most cases better.
Soldiers Take Time.
Local conditions, of course, always
will play q part in the plan, and some
posts may by necessity be forced to
remain in the groove. This is the
opinion at the War Department.
Today at Boiling Field no bugle
blows as mess times arrive. Instead
the boys depend on their wrist
watches, knowing that leiSurely break
fast awaits them, a dinner served from
11:15 to 1890 and supper anywhere
from to $50.
So they stroll, In good time, over to
the cafeterias that are supplanting
the fashioned mess halls. get their
trays and start down the long lane in
front of the steam tables and select
those vitamin-bea foods best suit
ed to the health of the soldier.
Alas, the old mess hall is on its way
out. with its traditions of slum and
punk and java, all served on the grand
scale; of grabbing" the first law of
self preservation; of the man with the
longest reach the best-fed soldier in
the outfit, it nevertheless soon will be
but q memory. The innovation began
with the Air Corps and is spreading
to the Infantry.
In the experimental stage. what
takes place at such aviation fields as
Boiling, Langley, down in Virginia,
and Maxwell, near Montgomery, Ala,
may eventually be commonplace in the
entire Army. The first Of the new
cafeterias for foot soldiers was erected
q short time ago at Fort Benning, Ga.
Yes, they're different-these hotel
tables, with four comfortable chairs,
instead of the long narrow tables
that seemed a mile long, with back
less benches lined up on either side.

LIQUOR RETAILERS TOLD
TO REMOVE FREE SIGNS

All liquor and beer retailers who fail
by tomorrow midnight to remove free
signs and other supplies given them
by manufacturers or wholesalers will
face possible revocation Of their

Board, announced today.
The display in the retail shops Of
such free signs and the use Of services
provided by manufacturers and whole
salers has been held by the corpora
ton counsel to be in violation of the
District liquor act.
Onutt said police would start q
check-up Monday, and that licensees
who persist in the violation would be
cited before the board to show cause
why their licenses should not be re-
voked.

HEARING

Special Guard Ordered for
TomorroW's Session on
"Murder Plot"

Mrs. Anne Lyddane and her three CO.
defendants in the alleged dual murder
plot that has stirred Montgomery
County will; be arraigned in Police
Court at Rockville tomorrow morning
for preliminary hearing.
Target of the eyes Of hundreds of
curious who are expected to jam the
court house, the 29-year-old bank Sec
retary will appear before Judge Donald
A. De Lashmutt at 10 o'clock and hear
the State accuse her of conspiracy to
slay her husband and Mrs. Josephine
Beall.
Arraigned with Mrs. Lyddane will be

Boland and Edwin j. Davis, who are
said to have told authorities of receiv-
ing money from the young Rockville
woman to enter the alleged plot.
Other figures, including Harry E.
Thomas, william Brown and Irwin
Borrell, are to be called upon as States
witnesses to tell what they know con-
cerning the charges brought against
the four defendants.
In addition, States Attorney James
H. Pugh has announced that he has
five surprise witnesses ready to
testify against the bank secretary and
her co-defendants.
Strong Guard Planned.
County police were laying plans to-
day to throw a strong guard around
the court room to preserve order
Meanwhile, States Attorney Pugh and
his aides were putting the finishing
touches on the preparation of their
case.
Counsel for Mrs. Lyddane, who is
at liberty under $4,000 bond, has
steadfastly maintained that their
client is the victim of a "blackmail"
plot, but it has been indicated that
no effort will be made to smash the
States case at the preliminary
hearing.
State Senator Stedman Prescott,
former States attorney and her chief
counselor, said he does not plan to
put his client on the stand.
It is expected that Prescott and
his associate counselors, former States
Attorney Robert B. Peter, jr., and
Kenneth Lyddane, will concentrate
their efforts on a severe grilling of
the States witnesses to determine as
fully as possible the accusations
against Mrs. Lyddane.
The State, it has been learned, Is
considering calling an immediate
special session of the grand jury If
any of the defendants are held for
that body as a result Of tomorrow's
hearing.
Men Held in Jail.
Mrs Lyddane and Boland are
charged with conspiring to murder
Lyddane, a bookkeeper for the Mont
gomery County liquor dispensary sys-
tenn, while Mrs. Lyddane, Davis, and
Carnell, who is said by officers to have
served as intermediary for Mrs. Lyd-
dane in alleged negotiations with the
other defendants, are charged with
conspiring to murder Mrs. Beall.
The latter, wife Of Darnestown
garage owner, named Mrs. Lyddane
Correspondent in a divorce suit two
years ago, but dropped the suit two
days later after a settlement out of
court.
Boland, Davis, and Carnell, q former
Washington policeman, are said by
detectives to have signed statements
in which they claim to have received
money from Mrs. Lyddane for enter
ing the alleged conspiracy. All three
are held in the Rockville Jail.

q courts, and Fred Perry of Eng
land are rated as the worlds best
tennis players for 1885 in the author
itative rankings of A. Wallis Myers,
British court expert.
Mrs Moody, who probably won't re-
ceive any ranking in the United States
because she failed to play in the
women's national championships, was
placed above her California rival,
Helen Jacobs, on the strength of her
victory in the Wimbledon finals.
Myers, whose Worlds First Ten"
generally is accepted as the Official
selection, admitted having considered
giving equal rank to the two Helens.
Her great performance at Wimble-
don, when she trailed Miss Jacobs
2-5 in the third set, then rallied to
win, finally swayed him in favor of
Mrs. Moody. Until she retired from
competition in 1888 because of an in
jury, Mrs. Moody had held the top
rank for seven years.

Williams has a penchant for running

makes it very difficult for tackler to
