continued improvement In the safety,
efficiency, range, speed, comfort and ca
pacity of American aircraft. This grati-
flying progress in technical develop
ment was based largely on the results
Of organized fundamental scientific
research. With the support of the
President and the Congress the re-
search laboratories Of this committee
at Langley Field, Va, have kept pace
with the growing research needs Of
aviation, and they are as yet unsur-
passed by the aeronautical research
facilities of any other single nation.
Increased recognition abroad of the
value and of the vital necessity of
aeronautical research has led to recent
tremendous expansion Of research pro-
grams and to multiplication of re-
search facilities by other progressive
nations. Thus has the foundation
been laid for a serious challenge to
Americas present leadership in the
technical development Of aircraft"

so long as ships come to grief, so long
as flying remains subject to improve
ment, just so long must there be a
continual war waged between the
forces of science and the Bitter Enemy.

to a few of the major outposts Of the

IT IS not necessary to go far to
discover how progress is being
made. The very heart of the work lies
in the steady research of the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics,
with It's headquarters in the Navy
Building, and its great laboratories at
Langley Field, near Hampton, Va.

This was done on biplanes some years

added stenography-he became . run

up to the position Of assistant CASH
Ter. Later he taught French and
commercial subjects at st. Charles

behind their present status. It was
at Langley Field that the first full
scale wind tunnel in the world was
built, as far back as 1881. Today there
are many types of tunnels in use, in
cluding one known as the refrigerated
tunnel, which makes possible study
of icing conditions in flight. Out Of
this study has come the fact that it
is not so much the weight Of the ice
on the ship as it is the reformation
of the shape of the wings that makes
them lose their lift. This is a study
that is now proceeding, because while

for he comes of one Of Louisiana's old
French families, the son Of the late
Jules Jean Mouton and Theodore
Ledoux Mouton. In the heart Of his

Usually interested in flowers and
shrubs, the youthful collector Of GUS
toms took pains to collect whatever
rare plant specimens came to his at
tention while on the island-a prac-
tice that not even war days in Eu-
rope, when he served as interpreter
and intelligence officer overseas with
the first Marine aviation outfit Of
the American Expeditionary Forces,
caused him to abandon.
When Mouton returned to Louisiana,
he was supplied with knowledge of q
gentler nature than his war experience,
for he brought with him familiarity
with various new specimens Of growing
things. So keenly did his interest de-
velop that he set about the establish
ment Of nurseries, but not before-as
Mayor Of Lafayette-he had beautified
his home city with two gardens that
today rank among the finest in the
State. He served II years as mayor,
and along with his political career his
camellia- -japonica and azalea nurseries
thrived and fiourished.
Indeed, they thrived to such an
extent that Mayor Mouton grew to be
much in demand as q lecturer before
garden clubs. He has addressed groups
Of this nature throughout the country,
advising them upon the care and cul-
ture of the two plants on which ne
Is most expert.
Before coming to Washington after
his successful election to the Seventy
nth Congress by q majority Of 8,l54
votes over his opponent, Numa z.
Montet, Mouton succumbed to his
long g-cherished desire to owning gar
den estate where he could develop
scenically, by means of his flowers and
shrubs, the dreams he had harbored
30 long.
The plot was laid out to contain
formal gardens, as well as to preserve
the natural luxuriant and wild beauty
Of the cypress swamp lands and the
lagoons that were part Of its terrain.
In the center Of one Of the lagoons

at times astonishing and may run all
the way from raising baby chicks to

Of the august legislators up on the

in collections or in flowers, charming
preoccupations that serve as an index
to the temper and character Of some
Of those who make our laws.
Judging by his diversion, you would
be right in setting down Representa-

The opening address to the enrollees will be delivered before the start of the courses by Earle BZlanchard, chairman of the troop committe.
 It was announcd at scout had quartrs today that there are some 200 troop committeeman in the council eligible for the Introduction to Scouting" course which will be given by David Babson, local scout executive. This is a new course and 1t is expected that the attendance will be very large. The course will be given for four successive Thurs day nights at Leavenworth.
 Henry Donahue, assistant scout execueive, will be instructor in the other training course entitled, "Prin- cilples of Scoutmastership". This course, 1t was explained today, is open to all local scoutmasters and assistants who have not already completed the basic course. It is esti- mated that theer are about 20 men eligible for this course.
