SYRACUSE, August 29.—Secretary Hyde, in an address at the annual farm dinner given by J. D. Barnum, editor of the Syracuse Post-Standard, sald last night the Federal Farm Board does not threaten the iy, existence of the De- ‘ partment of Agri- culture.

CLEVELAND, August 29.—Formal a lication for the designation of tI ational Capital as the scene of the 1930 national air races will be made to the board of governors of the Na- tlonal Aeronautic Association, under whose auspices these annual aero- nautical classics are held. at their meet- ing here Sunday, according to informa- tion received here today. ‘The application, it is understood, is to be made through the Aero Club of ‘Washington, chapter of the National Aeronautic Association, by a group of ‘Washington civic, aeronautic and busi- ness men, headed by Augustus Gumpert, manager of the Washington Convention Bureau. Mr. Gumpert is expected here this week and he probably will appear before the board at Sunday’s meeting. It is & foregone conclusion that the tgpuutflon will be rejected because of the National Capital's lack of an air- port and the physical impossibility of pmln. one in time for next year's c g Decision as to the city which is to be host to the next National Air Races g:ahably will not be made by the board fore December or early January and it will be necessary for the chosen municipality to begin work immedately thereafter. The next three months will be occupied by the board in examin- ing the qualifications of the competing cities preparatory to making the award. It is understood that the strongest bids for next year's classic will come from Chicago, Miami, Fla, and San Antonio, Tex. Requirem nis Are Rigid. Owing to the tremendous scale upon which the races are held and thelrpin« creasing size and importance from year to year, the committee has been forced to set up rigid standards of minimum requirements regarding the airport, ex- hibition space, financial guarantees, automobile parking space, roads and other physical necessities. Those who are to make the appli- cation upon behalf of the National Cap- ital, it has been learned here, expect to meet with refusal. The refusal is to be used as a part of the campaign to be made this Winter for establish- ment of a great municipal airport. It also will serve as notice that the National Capital will be a serious bid der for America’s greatest annual A= tion meet as soon as the necessary fa- cilities can be provided. Whether the application will be made for 1931 or 1932 has not been decided. The Na- tional Capital is to be the scene of a great celebration in 1932 of the 200th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Many aviation people here are opposed to the holding of the national air races in connection with this celebration. | They fear that the city will be taxed | to handle the visitors in connection with the bicentennial and feel that it would be a serious mistake to_bring n anies, and in studios of “Tlustration or Interfor , complets month: ’ elps THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The races in themselves present a suf- ficent burden to tax the full capacities of any city, they declare, and it would e a mistake to increase the burden to a point which undoubtedly would re- sult in failure. For this reason it is likely that another application will be filed for 1031, and it is possible that notification of such intention may be filed with the board of governors this week. Preparation for the races requires nearly a_year of hard work on the | part of the city in which they are to | be held, it has been demonstrated by experience during the past three years. In Cleveland this year the services of nearly 10,000 persons have been nec- essary to prepare for the races. Since nrlylnMAyncormof'ormlhn been busy at the race headquarters, and this force has been increased steadily, until now, during the races, there are approximately 3,500 persons on the pay roll. It is estimated that pay roll and incidental expenses are aggregating $40,000 daily, or $400,000 gross, during the great aeronautical program. | Preparation of the huge 1.000-acre Cleveland airport for the classic was a tremendous task, involving the clearing and grading of hundreds of acres of land, the laying out of parking space for 38.000 tomobiles, building of 8 miles of roads, construction of 26 build- ings, including one 5-story control tow- er and administration building; erec- tion of stands for 50,000 spectators and laying of several miles of water mains and electric conduits. Seven Miles of Fences. Seven miles of fences were built and parking space Iaid out for 1,000 air- | planes, all planes to be anchored to | ground cables. The central control tow- |er houses more than 300 executives, | judges. timers, newspaper men, camera- | men and others connected with the op- | eratien of the races. Nearly 50 tele- | graph _and telephone lines serve this building and there is a radio station | here with auxiliary stations at four of | the field racing pylons. More than 150,000 cubic yards of earth were moved to provide level land- ing areas for the contesting planes. Twelve concession buildings, each 60 by 20 feet, and 14 other buildings to house Army, Navy, civilian and other con- | testants and race committees, were: built. A hospital was erected. The work of preparing exhibition space for the aeronautical exposition also was great.

These figures are given merely to convey some idea of the enormity of the problem confronting any city which plays host to the national races. The problem undoubtedly will increase from year to year. Although the present races in Cleveland are being held on the greatest scale in history, the city is ex- pected to do better than break even on expenses. Races Make Host Airport. ‘The holding of the races in the past has proved to be the making of the air- ports upon which they have been held. This was true at Spokane in 1927, in Los Angeles last year and will be doubly true in Cleveland this year. This air- port, as a result of the additions made for the races, now measures more than a mile each way and is flat as a table. It has magnificent approaches from all directions and the communications fa- cllities are splendid. Race officials here frankly are sym- pathetic with the proposal that the races be held within the next year or two in the National Capital. They be- lieve that it would be a good thing not only for aeronautics but for the Na- tional Capital and if Washington can make ready the field and guarantee the proper support, it is exceedingly likely any bid Washington may make will re- ceive the most favorable consideration. Dirigibles Are Active. Lighter-than-air aviation is receiving a million dollars’ worth of publicity in Cleveland ths week. There are more dirigibles attending the national air races than have been seen together in this country before. Dirigible ~ pilots are demonstrating their ships under the most favorab! conditions and before crowds larger than any ever before gathered at an meronautical event. Yesterday afternoon race officials estimated 125,000 persons were gathered around the airport. The blimp and dirigible demonstra- tions are coming at a most opportune time. It is conceded that there is more interest today in the aerial giants than there has been for many years. The United States is becoming an important factor in the dirigible world for the first time. Yesterday brought fogether the world’s largest dirigibles, the Graf Zeppelin, on the last lap of its round-the-world flight, and the German-built United States Navy dirigible, Los Angeles. Dur- ing the past five days there have been three pony blimps over the airport, fly- seen here. An epochal achievement in the dirigible field reached a climax here upon the termination of the first cross-country flight by the new Navy all-metal dirig- ible. The “tin” blimp has been hailed as one of the most important advances in many years in the lighter-than-air mld.! 1t represents a pioneering achieve- ment.

Henry Ford, in his article entitled, “LET PROHIBITION BEGIN AT HOME,” in the September issue of the “Pictorial Review,” says: “It is interest in life and work that makes the world go round; that keeps people alive, and creates the energy and enthusiasm necessary to accom- plish and discover the best things.” You cannot have the proper interest in your life and in your work if you are burdened with numerous debts. “Turn over a new leaf”’—consolidate all your debts and pay them off with the proceeds of a Morris Plan loan, which in turn may be liquidated by you through the means of small easy mon thly deposits. Saving a part of your monthly salary thus becomes a habit—and a good one. MORRIS PLAN BANK Under Supervision U. S. Treasury WASHINGTON, D. C. 1408 H ST. N.

Budget Plans there are in abundance —but not one, have we found, based on a former strictly cash business. Invariably there is a background of expensive old-time charge account methods —with naturally expensive old-time prices, that have not been changed. Bond prices haven’t been changed either! But Bond prices — for the past 16 years — have been cash prices (and the sensible thrifty economies of a cash business certainly need no introduction).
