In order that members of Congress may learn of the advancement made in photographic work by the United States air service, Representative Roy Fitz- gerald of Ohio yesterday afternoon Dlaced In the lobby of the House a mosaic map of the District of Columbia made by photo section No. 3, at Bolling Field, Anacostia, D, C. The mosale, which resembles one huge photograph of every nook and corner of the District, was made by Licut. H. K. Ramey and Sergt. Matas by snapping numerous views of the District and plecing them together in their proper places. It was completed about two months ago and has been used by the government in determining future im-, provements in the District; by com- munities of Maryland and Virginia, and by the War College and general staff. 1t will remain on view until members of the House have thoroughly acquainted themselves with that branch of aerial photography. RANGE AT BOLLING FIELD. Secretary Weeks has approved a project of ‘the construction service of the Quartermaster Corps for the con- struction of a testing range at the Army airplane &tation, Bolling Field, Anacostia. Bids for the necessary work will be invited from local con- tractors. cam, who openly avow they have something for them that will be a source of pleasure as well as a sur- prise. Ohe feature is reported to be the leading_of the orchestra by no other than John Philip Sousa, a mem- Der of the nobility, This event Is her- alded with great enthusiasm, for Voble Sousa has for me months been preparing a new Shrine march to be used during the June festivitie 1n speaking of the preparations for the coming session, word was given out yesterday by Ellwood P. Morey, chairman of the hotel and housing committee, in regard to the progress of the most difficult as well as tm- vortant committees. Housing Plans Progress. “Canvassing of the hotels of Wash- jugton up to the present moment have resulted in the securing accom- modatlons for about 25,000 Shriners. Other places such as Pythian Temple, Center Market, Arcade Market, Con- .vention Hall and a number of private schools will provide room for 10,000 more. Pullman car space will give sleeping accommodations for 50.000. The remainirg number of visitors must be taken care of in tented cities and private homes. “This remaining number seems a Ereat number to thrust upon the resi- ydences of the city, but I feel confi- dent that everyone will be taken care of. Applications to house Shriners next June have already begun to come in, entirely unsolicited. We will not get definitely down to can- vassing until April. By that time we will know what our tented cities will accommodat and can figure out what we need. I except to ask the newspapers to print coupons in their issues asking house owners to clip them out and fil} in. “So far we have had remarkable co-operation in all lines.” SAYS EACH PERSIN FVE CAVTES INTEEH Dr. Frank Casteel Points Out to Rotarians Vast Work Before 60,000 Dentists of U. S. Briefly outlining the history of den- tistry, which he sajd was one of the oldest of professions and stressing its importance upon the health of the community, Dr. Frank Casteel, ad- dressed members of the Rotary Club at the New Willard Hotel yesterday. Dr. Casteel sald that while the den- tal clinics of the District were doing fairly well every effort was belng made to improve and broaden their scope. He said that eight out of every ten school children were in need of dental treatment, but that under the present corps of operators, local clinies were unable to sttend to all. Many Cavities; Few Dentists. _ Giving statistics to show that there is an average of flve cavities In the teenth of every man, woman and ild fn the United States, with only little over 60,000 dentists in the country to look after the work, the speaker said it was easy to see why mempers of the profession had their hands full to atetnd to all. The Rotarian said further that 95 Ber cent of the men in service during « the recent war had never visited a :lnmln.qs other than to have teeth ex- racted, 700d teeth are absolutely essential to good health, and we all owe it to the on-coming generation to see that proper care is given them in this nost important particular,” said the % llbh_lhv in conclusion.
