Air Corps recently told me: 1--WE are
continually driven by the nightmare
Of obsolesoence. Building moves so
fast that one set Of planes is scarcely
delivered before they are out of date.
We could spend every cent the Gov
eminent has to spare and still need
more
It Is, therefore. in the commercial
field that the real development must
go forward. earning its way as it goes.
Fifteen million dollars is being spent
in the United States this year by our
commercial airlines using planes. Part
of that is for the new and more luxuri-
Gus ships being delivered to all the
companies currently; q substantial
part goes to the completion Of next
years ships, such as the DC-4 Of
Douglas and the substratosphere Boe-
ing; . still more substantial part to
the experimental and research pro-
gram being carried out in many direc-
tons.

Antelope Plentiful.

THE antelope, facing extinction
not so many years ago, once more
is q common sight in Western sec.

Protection by State laws, control Of
predators-mainly coyotes-and estab-

Bureau Of Biological Survey, has saved
the pronghorn. In the Nevada, Ore
gon and California antelope district
1t is estimated there re at least 10000
pronghorns. as compared with the
dwindling thousand that existed there
in 1921. OF this number approx.

PAYLOAD will decide the winning
Of the Atlantic, but that does not
mean that planes will be eliminated by
airships or the other way round. It
is too soon to do more than guess the
outcome. The prophet is too often
COMPOUNDED out Of his own mouth in
the struggle between science and ma
ture. The best authorities; that is, the
least biased ones, feel that planes will
continue to carry passengers who are
In q hurry, that over-ocean hoppers
looking for speed will get it in heavier
than-air craft, but that the great bulk
of cargo shipment. the largest numbers
OF travellers will go on the more leis-
urely Extraordinarily, with its ability
to cruise distances far beyond the
reach, as yet, Of present planes.

he provided should not be under the
control OF any one religious sect or
persuasion. However, the buildings
were not completed and opened until
1887. For many years it was located
at 1851 Fifteenth street, on the land
left for this purpose by Mr. Peirce, but

estate, IN bygone days, may be had
by reading what the late Louis P.
Shoemaker, granddaughter of Joshua
PIERCE, said upon one occasion re-
garding Mr.. PIERCE and his nurseries,
when he stated
This place was known as Linnaean
Hill, and is worthy of special mention,
not only because of its past history,
the scenes of business activity and
the great beauty with which it was
once adorned by its original owner,
but because Of the future utility to
which it could be applied.
"Mr. Pierce was one OF those citizens
whose character and industry adorn
the early history of our District. He
had the advantage Of a good educa-
ton and soon became, by reason Of
his taste and talent, horticulturist
OF national reputation and nursery
man who conducted an extensive busi-
ness. The parks and reservations of
the city were, to great extent,
stocked from Linnaean Hill.
ut will be remembered that about
1856 the camellia was introduced
into this country. This species Of
Chinese or japanese shrubs was first
imported into Europe by a German
Jesuit about 1889 It is one of the
most beautiful Of cultivated flowers.
How generally it was favored through
out that country is not known to me,
but certainly In Washington it was
much admired, and was appreciated
to such an extent that the most per-
feet specimens were sold as high as 81.
Its popularity has. however, passed
away, and the rose, our American
Beauty, like American skill and Amer
lean ingenuity, has full sway.
Mr.. Pierce cultivated the camelua
in great variety and quantity. The
large Conservatives, built of stone,
yet standing near the residence on
the south side of the hill toward the
city, have been crowded with bushes
densely covered with the bloom of
this conspicuously beautiful flower.
"Linnaean Hill was not only the
scene of a large and profitable busi-
ness, but the grounds were artistically
treated, and the plants, rare flowers
and trees were so beautifully arranged
that the place was converted into a
horticultural and rural park, where
the people Of the National Capital
sought pleasure, recreation and in
struction.
Large sugar naples, white pines
and rare trees yet adorn Linnaean
Hill within the limits Of the park"

Pioneers Persist Despite Lakehurst Tragedy, Remem.
berng the Millions of Miles and Passengers Flown
in Safety by Dirigibles and Panes

than-air craft before the Hindenburg
went down.
Any thinking man or woman has
lively interest in this greatest OF all
challenges to natural phenomena, the
conquest of the air. Accidents take
toll that extends far beyond the
immediate source Of trouble. People
forget the millions Of passenger miles
flown without loss, day after day, and
remember only the time Of fatality.
All aviation suffers.
THE picture of Comdr. Charles
Rosendahl's set face as he came
down from the cupping tower at
Lakehurst to take charge of the rescue
work, and Of Capt. Anton Heinen,
former chief test pilot for the Yep
pelin company in Germany and now
civilian adviser to the Navy on lighter
than-air craft, wringing his hands as
he was pulled back from the danger
zone by sailor, Is one that will live
In memory along with the other
Kaleidoscope scenes Of that terrible
&A@oAcA0y SVCAAAA6 q "OCA 060' SC-
side 1t, it is necessary to place the
remembrance Of another group Of
faces around the wreckage Of q great
airliner, also = crash victim. These
men are moved by the horror Of the
moment, moved by the tragic human
loss, sickened by the retarding Of their
years Of patient effort and devotion.
But there Is not one Of them that will
not fly again tomorrow, that IS turned
back for a single moment from their
objective.
In the last analysis, however, when
all possible efforts have been made
for safety, progress in the air will de-
pend on one factor-payload. Money
makes the mare go, in the homely
phrase; it also makes engine wheels
revolve and buys gasoline for the fam
lily car. Aviation must make . profit
or, in the end, cease to be. Govern
ment subsidy could keep it alive for .
short time. but no government on
earth could continue to carry the ex-
pense Of such q burden without some
return. A highly placed omcer In the

John Fleming Of Mount Pleasant;
Elizabeth, to DR.. William Gay; Mar
tina, to Thomas Eldridge, and Anne,
to James Murray, the total issue
from these six descendants being So
children.
IN THE fifth degree Of descent from
Pocahontas we find John Boiling
marrying Martha, the sister to Presi-
dent Thomas Jefferson, and in the
same degree Of descent We find John
Randolph, son of Richard Randolph
who married Jane Bolling) marrying
Frances Bland. and from this union
was born the famous John Randolph
OF Roanoke. of whom it is said that
he probably probably never loved any
human being with natural affection
except his mother.
At this time 1t might not be amiss
to mention the occasion when John
Role returned to England in June,
1915, with Pocahontas, or Mrs Re-
becca Role, his wife, when King
James was disposed to be quite angry
with him for daring to marry an
imperial princess, while today the
British crown seems to be all upset
because a former King and present
duke is going to marry, according to
the English view, little out of his
station. Then America furnished the
princess royal. whereas, in the present
instance. this country is only furnish
ing a simple. plain. but apparently
delightful lady, with ancestry that
might even lead back to this very
Indian princess.
OF the descendants of Isaac Peirce,
living in Washington, Francis D.
Shoemaker is probably the oldest,
having been born November 8, 1853.
He was born in the old stone house
called Clover Dale, to the west OF
PIERCE or Shoemaker's Mill, and was
the son Of PIERCE Shoemaker and
Martha (Carbery) Shoemaker. PIERCE
Shoemaker inherited the mill prop
erty from his uncle, Abner Cloud
PIERCE, and at the time of the death
Of the former owned 800 acres Of land
in and around Rock Creek Valley.
Louis P. Shoemaker, who died in 1916,
a brother to Francis D. Shoemaker,
was one Of the most aggressive Of
the many supporters of the Rock
Creek Park project. mainly from a
truly patriotic standpoint, and 20
years ago made a number OF good
suggestions regarding the develop
ment Of the park, some OF which have
since been carried into effect
Indeed. Louis P. Shoemaker was
intensely interested in all public mat
tiers, and particularly In those per-
tanning to his native District OF Co
lumbia. and shortly after the Federal
Government had acquired title to the
park he said
This land was purchased by the
Government in 1890 at = cost OF over
a million dollars. half Of which Con-
gress required the taxpayers OF the
District to pay, Notwithstanding the
