STAND ON AIRPORT
Renews Advocacy of Grav.
ely Point as Logical
Site for Field.

Senator Gibson, Republican, of Ver-
mont today renewed his advocacy Of
Gravelly Point as the logical site at
which to develop the proposed airport
for the National Capital Meanwhile,
at the House end of the Capitol, an
opportunity was awaited to seek action
there on the measure already passed
by the Senate to develop the air ter
ninal at Camp Springs in Southern
Maryland
The Vermont Senator has pending
an airport bill he has sponsored for
a number of years to place the field
at Gravelly Point. where the area
gradually being created as he result
of river channel dredging belongs to
the Government.
The President indicated two months
ago he favored Gravelly Point. sug-
costing the possible development of
another field at Camp Springs or some
similar site for use on days when
weather conditions would be unfavor-
able at Gravelly Point. The Gibson
measure is still in the Senate District
Committee.
The National Capital should have
the best airport in the world" Sena
tor Gibson declared.
In addition to commenting on the
airport problem, Mr.. Gibson said hi
still believes, as he did at the las,
session, that thorough survey shoulc
be made of Washington's street traffic
problems. adding: Il am inclined tc
think such study would point to the
necessity for subways" He said he
had reference to underground track
age for mass transportation.
Meanwhile Chairman King of the
Senate District Committee made
known that his committee proba bly,
will get started on some local legisla-
ton during the current special session
even though the House District Com
mittee waits for the regular session tc
begin in January. Chairman Palmi-
sano stated yesterday House Commit
tee meetings would not start until the
regular session unless some emergency
matters should arise.

The commission used a much
lower fair value and higher income
than seems to be justified by the evil
dence" said Mr.. Merrill Even on
this basis the commission admitted
the company would be entitled to more
than it asked for. but fixed rate

Mr. Merrill also declared
Thoughtful persons who have fol-
lowed the Capital Transit Co.'S valu-
alton and rate case for the last year
and half must realize that the facts
more than justify the commissions
finding that the company is not
earning fair return on the minimum
value. Although the method used by
the commission in determining that
the fair value is not less than s23,-
100000 is not shown in the order,
that figure seems to correspond with
the lowest deprecated value mentioned
by any witness, and is little more than
half the corresponding figures found
by company engineers, corroborated in
large part by outside expert testimony.
1t Is less than the court found for
the fair value of the old Capital Trac-
ton Co. alone as of January !, 1925.
The commission used an estimate
OF net income for 1887, although fully
aware of lower income in 1886 and
certain unavoidable and substantial
increases i'll tax costs in 1888 Even
using such figures. the return is found
to be less than a fair rate of return as
indicated by innumerable pronounce
ments OF the courts
Wages Up Sl.225,000.
Those who are informed about
wage rates paid now compared with
those paid in 1888, at the time of the
merger. fully understand that in
creased wage rates resulting in ST.
225,000 additional yearly costs to the
company are largely responsible for
necessity for increased rate of fare"

expressed the opinion that study of
the courses offered by w. P. A. should
be made to see if they could not be
accredited. DR.. Ballou said such a
study is being made.
The standards are so high for the
school clerical posts, it was pointed
out, that even graduates of District
schools are not accredited by the Board
of Examiners and hence are not able
to take the examinations.
The board approved the standards
set up for night school teachers at a

Approval of the measure, however,
was practically unanimous except for
Mrs. Smith, who cast the lone dis
senting vote
A detailed analysis of enrolment in

officials, revealed large-scale exodus
of people from Washington. Out of

last year, and the first time over a
period of years there has been no gain
There is no corresponding report
for previous years with which to COM
pare this, but am inclined to think
it unusual" DR.. Ballou said.
The report also showed there now
are 2,246 nonresident pupils in school,
395 more than at this time last year.

G. B. s. Polishing Up

LONDON, sept. 2y.-George Ber- nard Shaw admitted the other day he had written fifth act to one of Shakespeares dramas.
 You don't need to alter Shake speare's first acts, G. B. s. is re- ported to have said, but some times at the end-one thinks it over.
 All of which prompted a Lon don paper to comment:
 MT. Shaw must be losing some of his energy in his ninth decade. There was a day when trifles like this would never have kept him busy. He would have rounded it out by finishing the unfinished symphony and putting arms on the Venus de Milo

 Paul Kelly, June Travers, Purnell Pratt, Reginald Denny, and War ren Hymer, a quintuplet of out standing entertainers, have leading roles in tine fast-moving tale of an Olympic athlete who is turned down by his sweetheart first for joining the Marines and then for resigning from the Marines.

DOVE SEEN

Have you ever seen a dove, and especially a turtle dove, in Juneau or vicinity?
 Now think, you might have seen pigeons, but not doves.
 Henry A. Jenkins, of the Federal and Territorial Building Custodian staff, saw one yesterday. It alighted on fence at his home on the Gla- cier Highway.
 The dove, apparently is far from a sunny south home and it's pres ence is causing speculation. A dove is much smaller than a pigeon and is seldom seen in the north.

You may lead a Giant fan into Yankee Stadium, but you can't make him cheer for the Yankees.
 This is amply borne out by an in- cident in the bleachers in Yankee Stadium The Yankees were enter taining the Cleveland Indians while the Giants were attending to a bit of business on the Western Circuit. A dusky son or Harlem, who had been drawn into the Stadium by his fondness for the national pas time, was roofing lustily for the downfall of the Yankees at the hands of Cleveland's Bob Teller.
 As Teller set down the Yankee sluggers inning after inning his spirit mounted higher and higher. When the urge to cheer got the better of him, he directed his re- marks to Mancuso, Ott, Leiber, Bar tell and other members of the dis tant Giant team. So great was his disdain for the Yankees that he re- fused to so much as mention their names. A fellow bleacherite, stand ing this about as long as he could, leaned over and asked the gentale- man from Harlem if by any chance, he wasn't in the wrong ball park.
 "Ah sho is" replied the loyal Giant rooter. But when them Giants is on the road An always comes up here to rlde these Yan- kees Boy, what a trimming nah Giants is going to give them when they meet again in the World Ser ies."
 There was no let-up in his en- thusiastic riding" of the American Leagubrs. Occasionally, be took time out to rush down to a point where he could see what the score board had to show in the way of progress the Giants were making at the expense of the Pirates. Luck fly, the news was all good and he lIluI AlGQ bO AllD Atl1A VI iAillib the Yankees with renewed vigor
 When the Cleveland Indians led the Yankees 40 going into the last half of the eighth inning he was vehemently exhorting Bob Teller to humble the proud world cham pions with shut-out.
 And then it happened. Crosetti bounced single to left. Rolfe sim gled. Di Maggie walked, filling the bags. Gehrig walked and fore ed in Crosetti. Rolfe scored and Di Maggie took third on a wild pitch. Dickey doubled, scoring Di Maggie and Gehrig. This was the signal for Feller's departure.
 With that the loyal Giant fan got up and walked out. "Ah came in with MT. Teller and An goes out with MT. Teller" was his parting shot.
