TIDAL BASIN PICKED ASMEMORIAL SITE Location Is Chosen Tenta- tively by Roosevelt Association. Although the exact spot where the proposed Roosevelt Memorlial cannot, of course, be determined until the plans and specifications of it are sub- mitted to Congress, the tentative site that is belng reserved for one year under act of Congress is at a spot on the Tidal Basin where the bath- ing beach was located. The center is where a line drawn extending Sixteenth street south would inter- sect a line continuing Maryland avenue in a southwestern direction. The plans of 1901 for the treatment of the section south of the White House provided for elaborate changes of the Tidal Basin. or Twining Lake, as it is also known. A part of the l»asl2 was to be filled in, and its rresént shore line changed materially by dredging. P There are 111 acres of water sur- face in the Tidal Basin, and this Is gonsidered necessary, for sanitary reasons, for flushing out the Wash- ington harbor channel where the docks are located. Any filling in of the basin incident to the cons tion of the Roosevelt Memorial, cording to those informed on the sub- ject, will necessarily involve further dredging and cutting away of the shore line so that an equal amount | of water may be impounded every 12 hours, or on each flood tide. | While nothing seems to be known vet just what form the memorial «ill take, nevertheless that it is to ve of gigantic proportions may be adjudged from the fact that the Roosevelt Memorial Association has asked for architects, sculptors and landscape designers to participate in the competition for the work. According to the act reserving the site, the plans and specifications must be submitted to Congress by January 1 nmext. Kissing Listed as Crime. Kissing is looked upon as the depth | of human degradation in Japan, but| even in Milan, Italy; in Belgium, and in some other parts of the world public kissing is apt to draw a fine in the courts. A man and his wife were actually fined 78 francs for kissing in public {n Belgium, and in some of the interior towns in Russia | before the war it was a punishable | offense. In some European countries today signs protesting against kiss- ing at the railway stations have been put up by authorities because it wus a custom that slowed up the depar- ture of trains.

Mitchell Both Laud Revelations on America’s Status. That both sides of the controversy raging over the American Air Serv- ice were well represented in the re- cent series of articles by Will Irwin on “The War Over the Air” and that this series, which appeared in The Star. accurately depicted in fair- minded manner the actual situation, is asserted by both Gen. Patrick and Gen. Mitchell, the two men most interested in development of the Nation’s aerial forces. The office of Gen. Patrick, in a let- ter addressed to the North American Newspaper Alliance, under the direc- tion of which the Irwin articles were issued to the newspapers of the United States, says: “Gen. Patrick has read with interest the copy of the articles by Mr. Irwin on Air Service and desires me to tell vou thdt he believes they are very well gotten up, and present both sides of the controversy very well He further states that you should be congratulated upon the fairness of the articles and Mr. Irwin should be congratulated upon the way he has handled the subject.” Gen. Mitchell writes: “Mr. Irwin's series of articles as published in The Washington Star under a North American Newspaper Alllance copyright, have been read with much interest. These articles were exceptionally well written and conveyed a message to the people which they should have. Personally I believe they have done the Alr Service a great deal of good, as he has very cleverly presented an argu- ment for a better and more effective Air Service in a most unprejudiced I Tentative Location of Roosevelt Memorial I call for elaborate changes in the Tidal Basin.
