STUDIES ASPIRANTS T0 HOEHLING POST President Hopes o Obtain Successor to Justice Without Delay. s Hazel President Coolidge is hoping that he will obtain without delay a suc- cessor to Adolph A. Hochling, j who resigned last week as an asso- ciate justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbla, but he has made it plain that he will not make a selection until he is thoroughly sat- isfléd that the individual measures up to the high standard he is seeking. It is_known that Mr. Coolidge Is espectally anxjous to obtain the serv- ices of some outstanding lawyer to take Justice Hoehling’s place, and for that reason he is going to move slowly to permit opportunity to study carefully the character and ability of the persons suggested. The President has intimated that he would prefer to appoint some citi- zen of the District, but he does not intend to allow this desire to limit his scope. Nelther does he intend to be influenced by politics, - although . Later in tke evening they listened- on the carol singing broadcast by | ‘adio.

Names Presented. Several names have been presented | to the President, but it is known from the highest authority that not more than two of these will be given serious consideration. One of these is Jesse C. Adkins, prominent mem- ber of the local bar; the other is Irvine L. Lenroot, who has been practicing law in this city since he retired from the Senate last March. According to White House informa- tion, Mr. Adkins’ name has come to the President.in an impressive man. ner.

The trip over the mountains took two hours and A half. but in a plane it could have been made in half an hour. There seems to be a great desire in Mexico to extend its air service and particularly to establish an air mail service. This would be of tremendous value in this country, where railroad travel is so difficult, because of the mountains. There should be greater support of the air mail service and the develop- ment of air transportation by business. interests in the United States, even though at first it might be carried on at a loss. Certainly husiness men in the United States can afford to bac air transport in all its forms, mail, express and passenger service. Financlal Support. It does not require much imagin: tion to foresee that in a few years air transport will become not only profitable to operators, but of inesti ue to business, if sufficient g port s red now, The present air muil routes have developed what was deem- ed possible when the Government first established the transcontinental line. The records of the operating com- panies show a high pe centage of performance in maintaining their schedules. Flying by night, even in the Winter, has been proven cti- cable und reasonably certain, with proper lighting equipment. The omdy great obstacles to flying over established air routes ave fog | and sleet, and some w Vv of overcom- dangers will undoubtediy There are interesting ex periments now going on which may solve the fog problem, and there should be some way of eliminating the danger of sleet on the plane. But these are technical matters which must be worked out by engineers, The public and business men can do their part in developing aviation in the United States by sending letters by ait mail and investing money in aviation. Surely industry can spar the money necessary for that pu pose. There have been a few indica tions that business men are coming to the conclusion that aviation fs necessary to them, and when the do there’ will be a rapid development. Passenger Needs Ignored. Nearl I air routes start as mail and express carriers and it is only natural that under the existing condi. tions the development of passenger travel by air should be slow. There have been almost no attempts to | vide comfortable afr passenger sery. ice in the United States. There are ovoly a few three-motored planes in mssenger service in the United States. Of course, there has been little demand for passenger service and multi-motored planes are expensive to to build and cost a good deal operate. But, I venture to say that way to bring about air the only bassenger service in the United States is to offer the public the greatest | factor of safety. which multl-motored planes provide, and then make these planes comfortable. American business will look far enough ahead to shoulder the rela- tively small cost of providing ade- quate and safe air transportation, | am certaln that flying between the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and from the Canadian border to the Mexican horder will hecome commonplace in a few years, and be profitable to the operators. There is no country in the world which offers such op portunities for afr transportation as cur own. The operators must also do their part, They must provide well bullt, safe alrplanes, equipped with every posaible instrument for navigation and pllots who are thoroughly trained. Personnel Question. The matter of personnel is perhaps the :most mportant in aglation just now, for I belleve that mearly 90 per cent of the serlous uccidents in fly- ing are due to errors In judgment. | Every cross-country pilot should be able to navigate and should be able to fly blind if necessary. Eventually that will be required of alr transport phlots, This matter of equipment and per sonnel I8 up to the alrplane industries and the operators, and it is Just ax necessary as the support of the public to make afrplane operation successful. The public cannot be blamed for fail ure to take advantage of alr trans. port, unless it has the assurance that everything possible has heen done to .Im. comfortable and safe transports tlon, The trouble at present Ia that suf- clent financial support has not been offered to operators to enable them to obtaln the proper planes and person- nel, and the public will not fly until these are provided. It seems to me that the up to husiness rources large to back air vor aviation Just now faith and money.

U. HOSPITAL WING READY SOON New Addition to University Mec'ical Cz:ter to Se Oc- cupied Early in Year. ctown University's newly en- rd medical center will be ready for occupancy early In the new y The four-story addition to the pres- ent group of hospital huildings, which fronts on i purth street and IProspect av substantially in- crenses the bed capacity of the hos- pital and will provide ‘among other things an entirely new administrative department. The work of installing hospital cquipment and furnishings is rapidly nearing completion. As the erection of this hospital building i the first step in the con- struction of a new medical school at eorgetown, ample facilities for med- 1 work have heen Included, There re 11 clinic rooms and th standard dern laboratories, which are now being equipped for the use of medical students. This will greatly relieve the congested conditions of the univer- sity's medical department downtown besides providing increased facilities. Chapel Is Included. With six large wards and 30 ad- ditional private rooms and baths for patients, the new building thus sub- stantially increases the total capacity to 276 beds. Besides doctors’ rooms, it contains four diet kitchens, modern undry equipment and other essen- s that will make the hospital com- parable in its facilities and equipment with any in Washington. Ahove the administration offices and in the center of the building will be 27 private rooms for the Franciscin ters, who have charge of the hos- pital, and a large chapel, Gothic in style, has been included. These new quarters for the hospital staff will release urgently needed space in one of the other buildings of the group. orgetown University Hospital has grown steadily, despite its lack of an endowment, since the opening of the first building in 1898. In addition to the caring of private patients, the hospital opens its doors to those seek- ing ald, whatever may be their birth, their color or their creed. Through its social service department it con- ducts follow-up work with the poor who have no means of support after leaving the hospital. For many years the Georgetown Hospital has cared more charity patients than any other similar institution in the city. Classes Resume January 3. Christmas day finds the Hilltop virtually deserted except for some members of the faculty, including President Charles W, Lyons, 8. J.. who are remaining in the city for the holidays. Classes resume on January 3 for the undergraduates and studen in the downtown department. but the college seniors have been allowed two Iditional days. Chief intercst in student and alumni circles at this time centers in the efforts of Lou Little and Washington's business organizations to bringing a Navy-Georgetown foot ball game Washington next Fall. Clark C. Gri fith is behind the movement as well us Martin A, Leese, president of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. ‘Georgetown has fixed a definite place for herselt in foot ball affairs of the country,” said Mr. Leese in a recent statement, “and has proven of meeting the best elevens available. Since such pleasant e town and the Navy in past seasons. I see no reason why these relations cannot be renewed with local setting. The Chamber of Commerce to a man would welcome the game and xive every encouragement to making it an annual affair.” New Track of Fir, The new wooden track presented to the university by the Hilltop's senior class will be dedicated shortly after the Christmas vacation.
