AIR BUREAU Transmits Message to Congress Advising Regulation H Washington, Dez. 8 — President} Harding transmitted to congress ‘the |#nnual report of the nationat advis-; ory committee for aeronautics with the recommendation that a bureau for the. regulation and development of air navigation be established in the de- partment of commerce as proposed by the committee. “I think there can be no doubt,” the president stated in a message which accompanied the report, “that the devlopment of aviation will_be- con rene, importance for the pur- pose of commerce as wellas national defense. While the material progress; in aircraft has been remarkable, the use has, not as yet been extensively developed in America. This has been due, in the main, to lack of wise and necessary legislation. Aviation is; destined to make great strides and I believe that America, its birthplace, can and should be foremost in its de- velopméat.” The report which supplemented one made" last’ April to the president, rec- recommended continuation of the alr mail service and‘ development of avia- tion flor military and naval purposes.

Abraham = Lin- coln, will be purchased as a memor- jal to her and as a museum for pres- ervation of Linccin furniture, manu- scripts, and relics now in Kentucky, if plans of a group of interested citi- zeus materialize. The old Todd home on West Main Street formerly was a saloon and now is a soft drink stand. It is for sale for the first time in years and business interests are trying to get it fcr -some new building. Those wish- ing to secure it for historical pur- poses have obtained an option on the property and are seeking funds nec- essary to complete the transaction. The building is well preserved. and the quaint interior could be easily re- stored, it is said. The historic rooms where Mary Todd spent her childhood and where she received Mr. Lincoln | of $4,500 was made by the last lég- islature for the care of lepers and families, according to Seagrin. Mrs. Houst died in the fall and Burton has been locking after her mother and daughter, neither of whom have shown signs of having contracted leprosy but who have been closely observed. In November the state board of health notified Burton, he said, that the board would cease making payments from the state funds. State’s Attorney Sea- grin maintains that the state. and not Kidder county should care for them.
