Start of the race in the late after- moon will give the pilots the advantage of a cool night's sailing with the re- sultant saving of gas. Most of the bags, it is expected, will have landed and notified race headquarters by early tomorrow night. Several of the Navy balloonists, and a few of the civilian contestants grew impatient yesterd: had their equip- ment placed at the Cleveland-Akron speedway ahead of time and finished the job of preparing the balloons for inflation. Three Navy Balloons, four represent. ing the Army, three representing the Detroit Flying Club, four Ohio bal- loons, entered from Akron and Kent and a St. Louis, Mo., Rotary Club en- try, comprise the race list. Ward T. Van Orman, winner of both national and international events last year, is the pilot of the Goodyear balloon in the 1927 national. ROCKVILLE.

Efsalsh Yassouf Hanem. To relieve the rush of telephone calls_from the area mow served by the North-Potomac central office, the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. has just placed in service a new ex- change known as “Decatur.” This new exchange, the eleventh, was made necessary by the increased business in the thickly populated northwest section. The “Dec: office is being used as a relieving unit of the North-Potomac central office and is starting with 275 tele- phones connected with its switch- board. Another indication of the growth of telephone service in recent years is the new “Georgia” exchange build- ing now under construction at Georgia avenue and Gallitan street. When completed in the Fall, this new ex- change will have cost about $300,000 and will greatly facilitate service in that suburban area. The *“Decatur” exchange has been installed in the building of the com- pany at Fourteenth and R _streets. The installation of this North-Potomac office, which consists of 36 operators of local switchboard equipped for 6,660 lines and 14 positions of trunk board, involved an expenditure of more than $312,000. There are now 138,000 telephones served by the Washington central offices, according to Charles T. Clag- ett, general commercial superintend- ent of the company. Of these, 2,500 have been added to the system since January 1. “Decatur” honors the memory of Admiral Stephen Decatur, who was one of the heroes of the War of 1812, and whose residence still stands on the corner of H street and Jackson place at Lafayette Square. GIRL HURT IN LEAP FROM MOVING AUTO Young Woman Found Lying Be- side Road—Number of Car Not in Records. Leaping from an automobile on the Marlboro pike just beyond the Dis- trict line early yesterday morning, Miss Lillian May Breyfogle, 20 years old, 1024 Eighth street, suffered con- cussion of the brain and bruises. She was found lying by the roadside by two sailors a short time later and brought to her home, where Dr. Al- bert Smith, 119 Massachusetts avenue, treated her. Miss Breyfogle told Policeman Hodge of the second precinct that she left the vicinity of Ninth and D streets with the young man for a drive in the direction of Marlboro, Md., and short- ly after passing the District line she was forced to jump from the moving car to escape his advances. She gave the police a number she said she obtained from the car in which she was driven from the city, but Policeman Hodge, unable to find it in the records, concluded she had made a mistake. o Firemen to Hold Election.
