Theory Made Real.

Ten years ago the commercial pro- duction of aeroplanes would have been considered a foolish project. Today it Is an assured enterprise, several mem bers of the Aero club of America hav- ing formed a company for that pur- pose. These men propose to merge the several companies now manufac- turing flying machines and to have one central factory. the product of which will be an aeroplane which shall combine the best features of several which have been given practical tests. The men back of the project represent practically unlimited capital and ii goes without saying that they are mak- ing this new venture without the ex- pectation of immediate cash dividends. --Ansonia Sentinel.

Taft's Cabinet.

It makes nightly little difference whether Secretary of War Dickinson is a democrat, republican or plain mugwump, so long as he is a good American citizen and willing to attend strictly to his duties at President Taft's cabinet table. It's no crime for a re- publican president to invite a dem ocrat to sit at his cabinet table and it isn't any crime for a democrat to accept such conspicuous honor at the hands of republican president. Be- fore entering the Taft cabinet, MT. Dickinson was 6 democrat Now that he is a member of the cabinet he ought not to complain if he is classed as an dependent.-Rockville Leader

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Bridge. at Lyme.

New London county is working hard to get the state to build a s400, ,000 brijge across the Connecticut river be- tween Old Lyme and Saybrook, so as to make continuous the shore line highway, now interrupted by ferry. It is proposed to reimburse the state by making it a toll bridge,
 It is too bad to go back to toll bridges in Connecticut. but the bridge should be built, and it's cost would be heavy burden on some small towns that are not to blame for the existence of the river, so perhaps the state should aid or lend its credit, even

A SUBSTITUTE FOR sHAp.

The Connecticut river shad is pro- verbal; it is admitted by epicures to be the best specimen of the finest fish that swims. It is incredible that ye are going to sit by and sanction its xtinction.-Courant.
 There speaks the voice of tradition relterating fashionable s' perstition There is no correcting the taste of the fashioned Yankee who says he likes shad nor of the Esquimau who declares whale blubber delicious. If the state must do something in the way of assisting the shad industry, why does it not vote subsidy to the Winsted pin factory, which makes an excellent substitute, in fact, something just as good Bristol Press.

State Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin Is advocating all sorts of fam dangle taxation. There is need of money in the state treasury. and 1t is anything with him to get it there. In a speech to tn efarmers in the general assembly the other day he advocated putting q tax upon every enterprise and business in the state. His scheme 1t seems is to work a sentiment among ruralists against business centers and manufacturing enterprises. He wants the farmers to favor taxing city inter ests.

Power to Resist
Infectious and contagious diseases depends most of all on the health and strength of the white blood corpuscles.

They are microscopic bodies whose important function is to destroy disease germs that invade the system through the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and otherwise.
 If you are pale, nervous, easily tired, with little or no appetite, or if you are troubled with any humor, your white blood corpuscles are not healthy and strong and you should begin taking Hoods Sarsaparilla at once.
 Hoods Sarsaparilla effects it's won derful cures, not simply because it contains sarsaparilla but because 1t combines the utmost remedial values of more than 20 different ingredients, each greatly strengthened and en- riched by this peculiar combination. These ingredients are the very reme- dies that successful physicians pre- scribe for the same diseases and ail- ments. There IS no real substitute for Hoods Sarsaparilla. If urged to buy any preparation said to be "just as good" you may be sure it is inferior, costs less to make, and yields the dealer a larger profit.

have ranked him with Dumas and Verne,
but this we'll poised, modest man. of such
simple. average mien. who declines to
permit his mind to fly unless the body
goes with it, demurred. And yet he had
something to say that is important, that
is food for those minds that grasp
straw to present result So on this
question of the future of the aeroplane,
which SO concerns individuals, commerce.
and the offense and defense of nations
he said, slowly, carefully: Il have no
visions to the future of the aero
plane. l consider the aeroplane has ar
rived at state where it is practical
mode of transportation | shall leave the
visions to others. l have heard of some
very remarkable stories about the posi-
biities of flying machines. but not by
people who have built them. The men
who talk aeropianes are more likely to
have visions than the men particularly
| concerned in the building of them-and
that Is my principal concern. The flying,
machine has come-it is only at its be-
ginning. / don't mind going SO far as to
say that l don't think it is going to cross
the ocean within the next few weeks.
Perhaps l may even doubt whether we
will ever see it do that My opinion is
that at first the aeroplane will be largely
used for the sake of the pleasure of 1t.
Possibly for a while the price will limit
the aeroplane to the rich. But ! feel
tolerably sure that once a man has tasted

First Production of Bituminous Coal
in This Country in Virginia.

From the Scientific American
The first bituminous coal mined in the
United States. states the United States
geological survey was taken from what
is usually termed the Richmond basin, a
small area in the southeastern portion of
Virginia. near the city of Richmond.
This basin Is situated on the eastern
margin of the Piedmont plateau. thirteen
miles above tidewater. on the James riy-
er 1t lies in Goochland. Henrico, Pow
hatan and Chesterfield counties
The coal beds are much distorted, and
the coal is of rather low grade when
compared with that from other districts
with which it has come into competition.
The occurrence of coal was known in the
Richmond basin as early as 100, and in
1879 sh pments were made to some OF
the northern states
In 1922 the production amounted to
4S,21J gross tons. At present what little
coal is produced in this field is for local
consumption only.
