This is the plan advanced by Col. William Mitchell. whose vigorous assault on the existing conditions in Army and Navy aviation has been in large part responsible for the present inquiry. The second proposal calls for the es. tablishment of separate aviation corps within the Army and Navy, fashioned on the lins of the Marine Corps. Maj Gém. M. M. Patrick. chiaf of the Armv Alr Servics, and several of the naval Aviators have advocatad this plan. The third proposal emanates from Comdr. John Rodgers, hero of the flight. It contemplates a new depart mant of national defense. taking over both the Army and Navy and provid- ing for adequata aviation services in both. Te bring about this adequate alr servica in hoth branches of the national defense Comdr. Rodgers pro- Toses thers shall be a saparate hudgat, A meparate lina of promotion and a strong aviation section in operstion. Tt is apparent from the testimony given hy the aviators that the air serv- ieen in both Army and Navy have, for ©One reason or another. not been ad- vanced to the stage of developmant to which they should have attained. The blame for this rests partly on the sys- tem which has subordinated the Air Service to a too great degree and partly on a failure of Congres» in the post to make the needed appropria- tions for the Air Service. The people of the United States have awakened to the fact that some- thing must be done for the air defense of the Nation and for the men who avp engaged In this hazardous serv- fee. To Col.

Build the Stadium, Col. Sherrill, directar of public huildings and publie parks of the Na- tional Capital, has completed tentative plans for a great stadium hers. He has addressed letters to the heads of Incal civie bodies asking them to meet with him Mong:y in order that he MRy ascertain thieir opinions on push- ing the proposition to a definite con- clusion. Washington wants that stadium. It needs it. There should be unanimity opinion on the part of the heads of these organizations: thers should be wunanimity of opinion on the part of the various memberships when the proposal is brought beiore them. In these times a big city without an ade- quate stadium. the uses of which are &0 valuable and so varied that they need no enumeration, is like a big city without a park. an opera house or even a theater. . Thaera have been made, as Col. Sher- rill peints out, a number 6t sugges. tione in recent vears as to methods of constructing a stadinm here, or of remodeling an existing structure to iske that form. but none has ever materialized.

Mr. Eldridge suggests that perhaps | the same remedy might meet with suc- {cess in Washington. in view of the ilarge number of violators. He ex- | presses the belief that there are many | motorists here who rvegard the low | fine imposed by District courts as ox- streets. Persistent violation of the parking laws must be broken up. At first glance it may seem as if parking for more than the allotted time is only a minor offense. but it clogs traffic, de- laya business and harasses both law- abiding motorists and merchants.
