Summit Park Association Acts on Airport—Asks More Busses. A resolution that the former Ben- ning race track be acquired for a municipal airport was indorsed by the Summit Park Citizens’ Association at a meeting last night held in the home of George H. Marshall. . Willard S. Driggers of the Kenil- worth association outlined the ad- vamtages of an airport in the Kenil- worth section. He showed a map of the Benning and Gravelly Point sites, explaining that the Benning location would be better for transferring mail to and from Union Station, and that alar passengers would have & more direct route to the Capital. William J. Smith, president of the group, announced that the associa- tion had been admitted to membership in the Federation of Citizens' Associa- tions. William A. Murphy and William J. Smith were selected as delegates to the federation. A resolution requesting the addi- tion of more busses to their section during rush hours and also the plac- ing of signs on the side of the busses announcng their designation was unanimously indorsed. The extension of the busses from Thirty-six street and Alabama ave- _nue to Thirty-eighth street an dthe “running of a bus shortly after 6 am. was also urged in a resolution. Copies of these resolutions were in- structed to be sent to the Public Utili- ties Commission and the Capital ‘Transit So. GEORGETOWN HOME DISPLAY ARRANGED LAYING IT ON THICK. PEAKING of duststorms, as the experts say we will be doing for & long time to come, Sena- tor Gore of Oklahoma is au- thority for this one: During the recent storm in Kansas, the worst so far, a pedestrian stum- tling through the yellow fog felt an object beneath his foot. He stooped and brushed away the dust and found a man’s hat. He lifted the hat and found a man’s face. “Oh, pardon me!” said the pedes- trian. “I didn’t know you were there. Anything I can do to help you?” T e “No, thanks,” said the face. “I'm getting along very nicely. I'm on a horse.” N *x ¥ ¥ % FARM COUNTING IN D. C. OW long does it take one man to count one farm? ‘The Census Bureau has found an answer in the 1935 census of agri- culture. Few people have ever suspected the District of Columbia of being a farm- ing area. But in spite of its broad streets and avenues and its recent progress as a metropolitan city the Census Bureau assigned four enu- merators to ascertain the facts. The field men went to work Janu- ary 1 and concluded their task at the end of last month. “Preliminary” fig- ures fixed the number of farms here as 96. Four men working three months each, means the same as one man working 12 months. At that rates it takes 3.75 days to count one farm. That figures up to about three days and 18 hours. ‘There always was something leis- urely about farming. Quinn more time to find beauty ex- hibits “A” and “B” consists of the two hearings now in progress on bills to eliminate the smoke nuisance in Washington. They are being con- ducted by Mrs. Virginia E. Jenckes, chairman of the House District Sub- committee on Sanitation and Health, * ¥ * ¥ ‘WORN-OUT STREET CARS. HAT happens to worn-out street cars?

They have become the plaything of wind, rain and sun. Children play in them, Vandals strip them. Occasionally a salvage .crew lifts, hacks, saws, splits and burns away with a white flame any parts that may be used, leaving only the warped and rusted wheels. Occasionally an old street car is sold to be used as a fishing shack or river lodge. Sometimes a street car that gleamed with its cost of $18,000 when it left the factory may be bought for $150 when it has reached the end of the trail.
