The street and highway system of ‘Washington is constantly under study and an effort is being made to estab- lish a “major thoroughfare plan” to recognize the greater importance of some streets over others as traffic ar- teries and to Tegulate their construc- tion accordingly. “Probably in no other place is a neéd more felt for a commercial airport commensurate with its importance as a national center than in Washington,” the handbook states. “By special permit, Bolling Field, the present Army airport, is used by com- merelal and mail planes. This permit was granted, however, with the under- stan that the District Commission- ers hasten fction for the estab- lishment of a commercial® airport on some suitable site. “Accordingly, a survey has been made of possible sites for the District by the staff of the Park and Commission. As a result, the now has in view an ex- the fol- pul d = sys- tem of intermediate flelds, spaced at 15 to 50 mile intervals among principal Toutes.” Reasons Assigned for Change. A school term 10 to 12 weeks in length, with a week of vacation inter- vening, was.suggested on the theory that even adult efficiency declines after | 12 weeks of work without vacation. | “The adoption of the new 13-month | calendar would help in the adjustment of such a program,” the report said. The school bell would have a differ- ent meaning, midmornings and mid- afternoons, under its recommendation that the 15-minute recess should be a period of “genuine rest, not play, with as complete relaxation as possible and real quiet.”, However, 30 minutes of physical edu- cation per day would be the minimum | in any curriculum. H School authorities were urged to make Summer health -ups to discover physical defects and secure their cor- rection. Sees Need of Nurses and Dentists. Nurses, dentists, oculists and physi- | clans were listed among. school needs, and the report urged one psychologist for every 1,000 to 1500 pupils in the elementary school and one for every 500 to 600 pupils in secondary schools to take cl e of psychological testing and vocational guidance. The committee pronounced “undesir~ able” county, State and national cham- plonship tournaments in competitive Plentiful Water Supply. Few cities, the survey handbook. states, have as plentiful a water supply . as_does Washington. Recently, it is recited, a new aque- duct was added which provides ample capacity to insure the city sufficient watet throughout the next 50 years. ‘The Suburban Sanitary District, al- though allowed by act of 1917 to use wh::u from the City of Washington, | P been developing its own water supply and has been able to supply its residents, except in times of extreme drought, with plenty of water, Arlington County Sanitary District is furnished water as occasion may re- quire by the District of Columbia. “The National Capital Park and Planning Commission, in its five years \?( existence,” the handbook states, “has been responsible for great changes and many forward steps in the development of the National Capital. With the completion of each unit in the extensive program now under con- sideration, much charm and dl‘lfllyl will be added to the City of Wash- | ington.” PALAIS ROYAL BUYS SITE FOR WAREHOUSE Tract Purchased on First Street Northeast Between L and M for New Building. ith the purchase of a large tract of lafld on First street portheast between L and M streets, the Palais Royal yes- terday made public plans for a spacious new warehouse building in the Ecking- ton section to replace its present stor- age building at Ninth and Golden streets southwest, which it plans to abandon.

The cost of the property, which was bought from Helen Sterling Chase, through the office of McKeever & Goss, Inc, agents, was not divulged. MRS.
