The National Homeopathic
Hospital is in need of funds
for a new operating table and
for other equipment. Like most
of Washington's hospitals, it is
open to charity patients of all
faiths, and is confronted by the
problem of needed funds, for
which each year one benefit af-
fair is given. The Lace Ball,
scheduled for next month, is
the most elaborate and, at the
same time, the most exclusive
affair the members of the
Board have undertaken.
The Lace Ball will follow the
lines of the recent one in New
York, which was for the bene-
fit of the Children's Village.

Washington welcomed the COM
mander of the German cruiser
Emden, now moored in Balti-
more harbor.
Capt. Johannes Bachmann,
who commands the vessel,
which carries one of the most
revered names in German
Naval history, first paid his
official call on Admiral William
H. STANDBY, the distinguished
Chief of Naval Operations,
who is now Acting Secretary
of the Navy, owing to the i'll
ness of Secretary Swanson.
After that Captain Bach
mann visited Admiral Joseph
Taussig, Assistant Chief of
Operations, and then away to
the Embassy to pay his re-
spects to the Ambassador, DR..
Hans Luther.
Incidentally the Naval At
tache, Rear Admiral Robert
Witthoeft- Emden, was one of
the officers of the Emden
which made history during the
World War until it was sunk
by a British cruiser.
The German government
later gave the right to the sur.
viving officers to use the name
of Emden as part of their
name. The Admiral Otter
thrills his friends with tales
of the stirring days when the
old Emden ranged the seas

FLOODED AIRPORT
DIGS OUT OF MUD
Restoration of Full Service
Is Expected Tomorrow
or Thursday.

Washington Airport, flooded by the
Potomac, will be restored to full oper-
alton tomorrow or Thursday and grad
ing of a permanent runway across
Military road will begin within a few
days.
AS a result Of the flood, which
buried the Arlington Experimental
Farm adjoining the airport under q
layer of silt which may seriously handi-
cap farming operations there this year.
it is anticipated a new effort will be
made to have a portion OF the farm
opened for airport purposes.
The Washington Airport half of the
flying field was restored to service yes
terday, when Pennsylvania Airlines
began operations there. The lower
Hoover Field portion, however, still was
dangerously soft today. From 6 to II
inches of fine silt were deposited on
the field and scrapers are being used to
push this deposit of the runway. The
high-speed Douglas and larger planes
used by several of the lines, require
the use of Hoover Field as well as
Washingtown Airport and until the
runway is scraped and dries these
lines will continue discharging WASH
ington passengers and airmail at Bal
timore.
No Estimate Of Damage.
Arlington Farm officials have not
been able to make an estimate OF the
damage to the flooded portion Of the
farm. Although the water has now
drained off the farm area still is sea
of soft mud and silt. Farm officials
do not believe the farm has been
ruined for experimental purposes. but
admitted the food may seriously inter-
fere with work this year. If as much
as 6 or 8 inches of silt have been
deposited, they admitted. the land
probably will be very difficult to work.
and Spring planting may be greatly
delayed.
Representative McSwain. chairman
of the House Military Affairs Com
fore the end of the week to introduce
bill providing for the transfer of
portion of the Arlington Farm for
airport purposes, in view Of the food
damage and the plan to transfer the
farm to Beltsville, Md.

MORE MEN NEEDED

LIQUOR RETAILERS
HASTEN PAYMENTS
AS INQUIRY RESULT
Meet Bills to Wholesalers
Promptly Lest Credit
Be Cut Off.
INVESTIGATORS FIND
NO UNDUE EXTENSIONS
Most Debts Are Met Within Two
Weeks, Beverage Control
Board Discovers.

Retailers are fastening to pay their
bills for liquor, wine and beer sup
plies for fear the wholesalers will
shut off all credit, officials of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board re-
ported today. as the first result of
their investigation to determine If
wholesalers are unduly carrying re-
tailers.
The inquiry was started at the re-
quest of Commissioner George E.
Allen after retailers spokesmen, argu-
ing in favor of limiting the number
of Glass A licenses, announced that
some wholesalers were carrying" some
retailers.
Yesterday and today the board had
examined the books of half dozen
of the 30 wholesalers. In these cases,
they said they found no undue exten-
sion of credit. In most cases, they
said they found retailers had been
paying their bills within two weeks.
Wholesalers told them 1t was their
practice to place a retailer on a
C. o. D. basis as soon as they found
him becoming delinquent in paying
bills. Chairman George w. Offutt said
public hearings would be ordered L?
any case where the board questioned
whether credit extended a retailer ap-
peared to be more than reasonable,
but no case Of such character had yet
been found.
Board members said they found the
wholesalers generally delighted" with
the investigation, because payment of
bills has been more prompt since it was
started. Retailers who have hastened
to pay do not affect the picture, Offutt
said. because the wholesalers books
would show the dates of payments.
