Comdr. A. C. Davis of the Bureau of Aeronautics and Comdr. W. W. Wilson of the Ordnance Bureau learned yesterday that sometimes a seaplane will not make a good landing on the ground. Their knowledge was not ac- quired by reason of being curious, but by necessity. They were fly- ing about the airdrome in a Con- solidated training plane of the type used by the Army, but which was fitted with pontoons, when the motor “quit cold."” Comdr. Davis at the time hap- pened to be over the land, and see- ing in a flash that he could not glide the sh'p Into the water, he elected to “put it down™ on Boll- ing Field. He came into land in a normal glide and everything went lovely until the pontoons struck. Things went black for a moment and then the two officers crawled out of the mass of wreck- age. Comdr. Davis recelved a cut over the eye when his goggles struck the cowling. His paksenger, anticipating a rough lending, re- moved his goggles and escaped without injury.

Bootlegger Started Fire. The Forestville fire came on the heels of a still raid by prohibition agents from Washington. A large still in that vicinity was captured shortly be- fore noon yesterday, and the agents stated that a man was noticed head- ing down u ravine through under- rush and scattering matches in the broomsage to cover his escape. By the time the stjll was dynamited by the agents later in the afternoon the fire h uned much headway, covering a of approximately | five square miles before fire apparatus from adjoining communities had plac- ed it under control last night. This was the mildest of the three fires. outh and southwest of ,Waldorf, Md., the brush fires raged all day yesterday, after gaining a feeble start the day before, stretching finally over an area of approximately 10 square miles. The fires paralleled the Southern Maryland pike and then dar RIDAY, APRIL piled. The fires swept far back into surrounding woodlands and few know the definite boundaries of the blaze. Fire-fighting forces of all three fires found backfiring almost impossible be cause of heavy breezes which would shoot the flames entirely over the backfire portion before a sufficient check space had been cleared. Pick and shovel brigades, attempting to cut out ditches over which the fire could not pass, found the same difficulty. The greatest fire extinguishing ele- ment, it became apparent today, was the lull in breezes and the damp air. The fires were replete with human Interest elements. Along the roadside in the vicinity of Waldorf last night many residents in the flame-stricken area carried out personal belongings and transported them b automobile to less hazardous location Near Lanham a pig was roasted alive in its sty. Here, too, beds and bedsteads, with her sleeping 3 couterments, wers out in cleared spaces, away from houses which were threatened by sparks carried LY the wind, until late last night. Hundreds of Washingtonians Jam med the roads in the Lanham region last night at 10 o'clock watching the spectacular illumination of the fire and giving assistance when necessity arose.
