'Tribute wad - pald by the United States Army Ambulance Bervice As- soclation te thelr eonrade of the world wat, the unknown wsoldler, when Logan ¥. Metcalf, president of the organization which opened its annual convention here today, placed a ‘Wwreath upon the tomb at Arlington. The members of the assoclation, 500 in number, stood In ellence around the grave while each man wondered if within the tomb was one of the shell torn bodles that had helped to carry from the battle front. Btarting from the convention head- quarters at 11 o'clock, the delegates left for & five-hour sightseeing tour of the city and vicinity the tour taking in Ariington and Mount Vernon, where they had luncheon. President Made Member. A few days prior to his trip to Alaska President Harding was mads a “Usaac” as the members are called, the name being derived from the first lotters of the organization's title in the war when it way the United States Army Ambulance Corps. Mem- bers from all the one hundred and fifty ambulance clubs in the United States are in Washington to attend the fourth.annual convention. The Washington club is particularly proud that its members were the first am- bulance unit to be mustered into the Regular Army during the war as well as being among the first military or- ganizations training. The men that composed the unit numbering 150, were selected from 700 volunteers. Col. Percy L. Jones, who commanded the American expe- ditionary force's ambulance service, and MaJ. J. Ryan Devereaux, leader of the Washington unit overseas, are t&on& charter members of the local ul of the city to begin Banquet Given Tonlght. Tonlght the assoclation will hold banquet at the New Ebbitt Hotel. Sur- geon General Merritt W. Ireland, honor- ary president of the association, will attend the affair. Representatives of the French and Itallan military forces will be present as well as Harold De Witt Jeffrey, president of the local club. Capt. Willlam McFarland, Maj. J. D. Byers and Maj. J. R. Devereaux. Wibur R. Hunter, secretary of the as- sociation, and the heads of the various committees will make their reports. Many important matters concerning the future of the assoclation will be discussed by the delegates tomorrow morning. The election of the national officers will take place tomorrow aft- ernoon. RADIO NEWS Since the advent of radio broadcast- ing Washington's 30,000 listeners-in have not enjoyed an ether entertain- inent more than the ringside descrip- tion of the Willard-Firpo fight last night at Boyle's Thirty Acres, in Jer- sey City, as broadcasted by WCAP, the new C. & P. Telephone Company station, if the comment of a few of the fans today can be taken as a criterion. The radio “bugs” who called the radio editor by telephone and his of- fice associates who tuned in on WCAP wero unanimously agreed that the transmission of the fistic battle between the Kansas giant and “The Wild Bull of the Pampas,” was per- i fect. Radio parties were held all over the city. The owners of the sets and their friends sat around the house and quaffed lemonade and other cool- ing drinks, whilg listening to the re- turns. In several *sections of the Dis- trict owners of radio sets placed am- plifying horns in_the windows of their home and gave their neighbors an opportunity to listen-in on the big battle One of the most enthusiastic radio parties was held on the ninth floor of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phono Company bullding. Here Charley G. Clagett, District manager. { entertained an informal party gath: ered around a table on which wa: placed a receiving set complete with power amplifier and magnifier. The returns as glven by the announcer, the responses of the crowd to the ac- tions of the fighters and the gongs were all clearly audible. In the party were Joshua Evans, jr.; Arthur Carr, Denman Thompson, I Rob- erts'and Robert Sonne. At the Radio Sales Studio, 14th street and Park road, a large crowd assembled listening_to the returns. Uncle Dudley, the District radio re- pairman, amplified the returns in his studlo. The Spanish-American res- taurant was the scene of another group of interested listeners. WCAP broadcasted the big event imultaneously with WEAF, in New ork city, both stations receiving the account by telephone from the ring- side. It was the first time the re- turns of an important prize fight have been heard clearly in the Dis- trict. WCAP deserves congratula- tions. More than 250 newspapers through- out the country have requested pro- grams for the new RCA station, at 14th street and Park road, which is expected to begin operations on or before August 1. This is indicative of the enthusiasm aroused through out the country because Washington is to_have another new and powerful brodacasting station. WCA is the call letter assigned to this station. The following letter was received from Massey, the New Berne apartment, at 12th’ street and Mas- sachusetts avenue: Radio Editor: Referring to item in The Star of yesterday regarding the difficulty of Willlam Roberts in tuning out Arlington with his crystal set, will say that I have a three-tube set, but find it almost ble to tune out NAA after when trying to get other stations sending on a wave length anywhere near that used by NAA. For instance, a number of s tions send on 429 meters. is S0 close to the wave length used by Arlington (43%) that it is prac- tically impossible to separate the two. In my opinion it would help ‘matters greatly if the wave length used by NAA were altogether out of the wave-length ‘band used in general broadcasting. Can you or any of the fans en- lighten me on the following? Last night, July 12, at about 11:45 o'clock, I picked up, faintly, as though coming from quite some distance, the weather report being broadcast by some station follow- ing a program. The time of sign- ing off was giv 11:48 p.m., ‘which was eastern vime, of course. Schenectady had long since signed off, I believe, as and nothing wai I did not e of the ly ‘on sted in . your radio column &s giving a late ‘weather report followin gram was one of the Chics tions, but if it were of these, I am unable to understand the use - of eastern time. If you or any of the fans can give me the name of the station referred to I shall be obliged. Can Say That Much.

C. Officials to Get Ideas for New Wash- ington Colony. The Commissioners today author- ized a committee of three District of- fictals to visit a number of states in quest of 1deas to be used in planning Washington's feeble-minded colony. The committes will consist of Capt John E. Wood, assistant Engineer Commissioner; Albert L. Harris, mu- nicipal architect, and George S. Wil- son, secretary to the board of chari- ties. They will go to New York state, New Jersey and Massachusetts, where they will inspect institutions. The trip was decided upon in order that the District might have the advan- tage of the experiences of other mu- nicipalities in providing for feeble- minded wards. The city heads a few days ago pur- chased a tract of 827 acres on the Little Patuxent river, in Anne Arun- del county, Md. as the site for the feeble-minded home. As soon as the committee returns from its tour Mr. Harris will begin preparation of plans for the first buildings. It is practically certain that the in-! stitution will be of the cottage type in preference to one large building. DR. WILEY BUYS LAND. Dr. Harvey W.

Santa Fe Seeks to Compel Issuance of New Mexico Land Grant. The Santa Fe Pacific Railroad Com- pany today filed a suit for mandamus against the Secretary of the Interior, to compel the {ssuance of a grant to a section of land in New Mexico. Chief Justice McCoy issued a rule on Secre- tary Work to show cause July 27 why the mandamus should not be issued. The railroad company says the United States Supreme Court recently upheld its title to that and surrounding tracts, but the department, while issuing patent for the other section, is withholding the grant of the one in question.
