Boiling Field 10 Mark
18th Anniversary Of
Founding Tomorrow
Officers and Soldiers
To Have Half Holiday
And Entertainments

Boiling Field, one of the first
military airports in the Nation, will
celebrate the 25th anniversary of
its founding tomorrow.
A half holiday has been declared
for officers and enlisted men sta
toned at the field, Col Lewis r.
Parker, commanding officer, said
today. Athletic contests in the
afternoon and dances in the evening
will herald the event.
Since its inception as an Army
airfield October 2, 1917, Boiling
Field has been major center in
q world dominated by the might of
aviation. Used as remount sta
tion by the Army Of the Potomac
during the Civil War, the Federal
Government took steps to acquire
the territory, then known as Ana
costa Flats" at the conclusion of
the war. 1t had formerly been
District property.
Given to Aviation Section.
The land was under the super
vision of the Army Engineers until
1917, when they turned it over to
the aviation section of the Army
Signal Corps for the development
of an "airplane field" The license
for use of the land by the aviation
section was granted by William N.
Ingraham, then Assistant Secretary
of War.
BY 1880 the $40 acres which
originally comprised "old" Boiling
Field had been augmented by 1876
adjoining acres of new" Boiling
Field. The Navy was given large
part Of the old field to use as
naval air station. The field ex-
panded rapidly in the next decade
until it reached its present size and
range OF facilities.
The field was named for Col.
Raynal Cawthorne Boiling, prom
lnent New York attorney, who
entered the Army as captain in the
World War, and was one of the first
American officers killed in the
war 1t was christened Boiling Field
on June %, 1918.
Center for Celebrities.
Col. Parker assumed command of
the field on July 4, 1912, after serving
as operations officer. He is the oldest
officer stationed at the field in the
point of continuous service. Among
the enlisted personnel, Master Sergt.
Roy w. Hooe has served at the field
the greatest number of years.
Because of it's location. Boiling
Field has been host to more
celebrities than any other airport
in the Nation. 1t also was pioneer
port in the transportation of air
mail. Maj James C. Edgerton,
brother OF 1t. Col. Joseph S.
Edgerton, War Department Bureau
of Public Relations executive and
former aviation editor of The Star,
piloted the plane that carried the
first regular mail by air to Wash
ington from Philadelphia, on May
Is 1918.
Recently the field was in the spot
light when Brig. Gen. Jimmy
Doolittle. hero of the air raid on
Toxic, pinned Distinguished Flying
Cross medals on Is officers and
enlisted men who participated in the
raid at ceremonies at the hangers.
Born i'll the World War, Boiling
Field is ready to play an important
part in the winning of this war.

Advice on the Care
and Cultivation Of
Silken Hose-Or
Whatever You
\ Are Wearing
y Instead -

Good soap and gentle squeeze play in the
tub will do more for stockings than a monkey
gland. Try washing your silk stockings
whether silk, nylon rayon-with these sim
pie rules in mind:
(1) Never wear stockings more than once
before washing. Body acids eat up stockings
like kid in cookie jar.
(2) Easy does it with a big bowl of luke
warm water and soap suds. Don't rub soap
directly on the stockings. Whoosh about in
the lather and squeeze gently-DON'T RUB
the hose.
(3) Now. more clear. luke warm water for
rinsing Squeeze again, and hang over towel
to dry.
(4) And fgawdsake DON'T IRON N.Y.
Ions will melt on hot radiator and real silk
will eventually rot from such treatment.
AS for rayons-they require technique
all their own. Both nylon and rayon stockings
come out Of the laboratory test-tube. But for
some reason far too intricate for your corre-
spondent to understand, they react 70 water
in totally different manner
Nylors, made of coal iron, water and aba
cadabra, will dry within one to two hours af-
ter washing But rayons. compounded of wood
pulp or cotton linters plus alchemy, require at
least "a hours to dry. And it is far, far better

hol-they go to pieces unless given proper
care.
In the first place, take off your pigeon

not snag readily when dry, DO when wet.
did you realize that despite their wearing
qualities, nylons have a greater tendency to
snag than real silk?)
Then never. Never. NEVER put on a rayon
stocking until it is as dry as finder. Rayon,
If 1t ia the least bit damp, will go completely
to pieces on the leg But give the rayon sock
a chance to dry and it can be girls best
friend in the days ahead with nylons and real

worn again the next morning. And If you

better II bought half-size larger than what
ever size Modom has previously purchased in
real silk. When Modom buys her first pair
of rayons, she must not furrow her pretty
brow If they seem to be short. Rayons stretch
up and down. After few wearings and wash
ings, they will grow to the customary length.
But there is no such give-and-take in n.y.
Ions and real silk! Here, the right length is
important if malignant runs, Sits and errors
are not to appear pronto. Stockings should
be chosen with adjustable tops to give double
or quadruple thickness where carriers fasten.
The American woman, like Marlene legs
Dietrich, seems to feel that come what may
she's just got to have her gam glamour. Even
in uniform, and geared for serious war work
the American gal insists upon her inalienable
right to sheer hose. In England Isle stock
ings are compulsory component Of all
feminine unforms-and a component that is

complimentary to the extremities, too.
Miss Dietrich, in recent statement, an
nounced very simple personal solution of the
stocking problem If the time ever comes
when there are no more glamourous stockings
she will simply go without hose, let the riot
squads form where they may!
In the meantime, there are a couple of
other solutions, both of which will get good
workout during the coming Summer months.
We gals can either let the sun calsomine our
stems fashionable beige hue, or we can
paint em such a shade.
We can shed our stockings for the Sum-
mer. thus conserving the supply. Gals who
tan nicely. quickly and evenly have no prob
lem at all And those of us who cannot or
do not tan. can get our stockings out of a
bottle. Several bottles, in fact
Almost every cosmetics manufacturer will

SquaWS! they should worry about the stock
ing shortageD An Eagle Scout badge and a
feather headdress ought to come free with
every bottle of these stockings
The liquid stockings are easy to put OIL.
1t is even possible for the more dressy amonh
us to achieve seam down the back with All
eyebrow pencil. This requires only a steady
hand, although ii Is possible to draw a crooked
seam if the painter belongs to the surrealist
school.
OF course, there is another, final solution
But 1t definitely is final. For few dollars il
is possible to have pair of permanent stock
ings tattooed on the uprights.
Charlie Wagner, the Rembrandt of the
Needle and the Tattoo Artistic Supreme of
New York is the man who can and will do it.
In his studio on the Bowery, Maestro Wagner
is busy these days tattooing patriotic murals
on sea-going sailors.
But he has time now and then for a pair
of stockings with without clocks if anyone
wishes to try.
When the war is over and Japan comes
around peddling her real silk again, there NAV
be no soap and no sale as far as hosiery firms
are concerned.
Retailers report that despite a so to 100
per cent increase in the price Of nylon hose,
women still demand them in preference to
reserve stocks of real silk hose.
Nylon hose sell for considerably more than
real silk today. 1t is difficult to get first
grade nylon for under 81 while one of the
largest and most snooty Fifth Avenue stores
has had difficulty getting rid of excellent
real silk hose at bargain prices of $115 per
pair. The new rayon hose will sell for
about $1.15.
In short, women today like artificial silk
hose better than the real silk ones Hosiery
manufacturers doubt If women will ever again
be persuaded to buy real silk in quantity They
surmise that American women have put a
permanent crimp in Japanese economy with
their preference for test-tube socks.
1t seems unlikely that Japan, in the coming
days of peace, will ever again be able to dump
her tremendous crop of slk-on which that
nation is economically dependent - on the
American market.
Part of that crop undoubtedly win be abb
sorbed in the world market for the manufac-
ture of real silk goods. But the artificial silk
stocking, developed by American laboratory
genius. is expected to run the real silk stock
ing ragged in more ways than one.
