The San Francisco Chron- icle recently carried a story to the effect that in India there are several tribes whose male members some- times contract marriage with a tree. This may be all right for men in India who just want something to 2o home to at night, but at best it must be rather a drab type of life. & Think of the difference of going home to a tree in India and going home to a beautiful wife, a good hot dinner. and a cup or so of delicious Wilkins _ Coffee here in America. Just off- hand it seems so unfair that Great Britain ouzht to do something about it. Wilkins Tea is of the same fine quality HOOVER FIELD $0LD TONEW AIR LINES Will Be Improved and Pas- senger Service in East Started, Buyers Plan. | : The sale of Hoover Field, on the Virginia shore of the Potomac River opposite the Lincoln Memorial, to International Airways, ‘Inc., which is planning to establish a model airport and an extensive passenger transport service there, was announced today by Carleton E. Moran, president of C. E. Moran & Co., investment bankers, and president of the new airways company. International Airways has been in- | corporated under the laws of Maryland with an authorized capital of $1,000,000. It is planned to make Hoover Field the first of a chain of airports in citles throughout the Eastern United States. A number of planes have been or- | dered for delivery late in the Winter | and the company expects to establish regular aerial passenger service between this city and New York and a seaplane service to Norfolk as the first of several | proposed passenger lines. | Field to Be Improved. Work will be started immediately on the improvement of Hoover Field, which s to be completed for large-scale day and night flying operations by March 1, Mr. Moran stated. Construction of two permanent fireproof hangars, each 60 by 80 feet, to house 12 planes each, will begin at once, Mr. Moran said, and | will be followed by the building of a restaurant and complete airplane and automobile servicing station. ‘The present terminal headquarters building at the field will be enlarged to make | room for executive offices and a larger | passenger waiting room. The field landing facilities also are | to be greatly improved. Following the lead of the new Ford Model Airport at = ‘; Dearborn, Mich., the new company will | build one or two concrete runways the full length of the field to provide a permanent surface for the landing and taking off of planes. The Ford air- port now is the only field in the coun- try with such runways, which are said to save much wear on the planes and to maks possible smoother and more ravid take-offs in any type of weather. The field, following successful tests last week with Army floodlighting equipment, will be equipped with per- manent floodlights and field lights for night flying operations and a regular night passenger sightseeing service will be inaugurated. Runway for Seaplanes. On the river front of the field, facing the canal between the field and Colum- bia Island, a runway for seaplanes is to be constructed, so these planes may be drawn up into the hangars. Pas- sengers will board the seaplanes at the For Rent AN UNUSUAL CHEVY CHASE HOME 4616 Norwood Drive overlooking square south iarge ms), living room 16x24, tilec and fixtures, Beautijul _detached home, Chevy Chese golf course, one of Bradley lane at Wisconsin ave. rooms (3 bedroo bath with built-in tub, shower tlled lavators ‘additional; large porch; g lo Six 1 rage to match house. bery. 1ith & MA SPECIAL NOTICES.

International Airways has ordered a tri-motored Ford plane with capacity for 2 pilots and 14 passengers, for de- livery about March 1. With this plane excursions will be operated to Niagara Falls, Virginia Beach, Atlantic City and other Summer resorts and points of in- terest. Should the passenger service between this city and New York in- crease,-as is expected, the Ford plane will be used later on this service. The new company will take over intact the personnel.and equipment of he Potomac Flying Service, which now operates the field. The equipment to be taken over includes two Fairchild cabin monoplanes with Pratt & Whitney 425-horsepower Wasp motors, each car- - |rying a pilot and 5 passengers. Four - [ more of these planes have been ordered for delivery before March 1. All of the Eaglerock biplanes now in use at the field also will be taken over. The new company is to act as local dealer for the Fairchild airplanes. “The Potomac Flying Service now has a number of students,” said Mr. Moran, “and as soon as we can make arrangements, we plan to make Hoover Field one of the greatest schools of aviation in the country. Washington being the natural aviation center of this country, there is no reason why this should not bz the outstanding loca- tion for such a school.” Will Invite Mail Flyers.

Burbage, and Mrs. Emma Osthaus, 1236 Sixth street southwest, but both had been driven back by smoke and | flames. . Accompanied by his lieutenant, F. M. Edwards, Hanley mounted a ladder and forced his way into the room. Blinded by the smoke, “he was forced to feel his way. Shuffling across the floor, he came to the bed. A rift in the smoke showed him the baby lying in tae crib. Lieut. Edwards stripped off his coat |and wrapped it around the infant. | Hanley carried the child down the | ladder. At Emergency Hospital the | baby was pronounced dead by Dr. | Emanuel Foote. he fire occurred about 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon and, presumably, | was started by William O.

A\ CHANGE IN EDUCATION SEEN IN SOCIALISM Rise in Austria Has Revolutionized Methods, Vienna Director Declares. The rise of Socialism in Austria has revolutionized not only methods of gov- ernment, but of education, it was de- clared last night by Dr. Paul L. Deng- ler of Vienna, director of the Austro- American Institute of Education, in a lecture at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, | 1736 G street. Before the war the Austrian educa- | tional policy was to instiH in children profound respect for the Emperor. The | Socialistic movement of post-war days | has resulted in the scrapping of the old ideas of discipline’ and training and the rise of an entirely new theory in_education, Dr. Dengler pointed out. Under the new system the individual | characteristics of the chldren are given free rein.
