The Meeting of Connecticut Mayors
to Make Plans for Sane Fourth.

to Make Plans for Same Fourth.
The most significant move in the
campaign for an improved celebration
of Independence day has been made
! by Governor Frank B. Weeks of Con
necticut in calling together the mayors
of the chief cities Of the state TO de
wise plans for safe, sane and glorious
celebration.
The meeting, which was held in
Hartford April 81. was attended by
the mayors OF Is cities. All possibility
of i'll effects from the hoodoo numbeT
Is was dispelled by the number being
increased to IA by the presence of the
governor himself
The mayors were enthusiastic over
the governors plan of making the cele-
bration great play festival, thus sub
shutting for the customary dangers
and din a program of parades, tab
leaux, declamations, music, drills and
games. Coupled with this will be re-
strictions on the use of explosives, and
in the evening a display of fireworks
provided by the municipality.
Other governors who have this year
taken a positive stand for better
celebration of the nations greatest
holiday are:
B. B. Conner, Alabama; John F. Shat
roth, Colorado; Simeon S. Pennewill,
Delaware; ]. H Brady, Idaho; G. s.
Deneen, Illinois: ]. Y. Sanders, Louisi-
ana; Bert NJ F'ernald, Maine; Austin
L. Crothers, Maryland; Eben s. ORA
per, Massachusetts; Fred NJ. Warner,
Michigan; A. Eberhardt, Minnesota;
Herbert s. Hadley, Missouri; Edwin
L. Morris. Montana; D. s. Dickerson,

sey; John Burke, North Dakota; Frank

Carolina; r. s. Wesley, South Dakota;
Malcolm R. Patterson, Tennessee; G..
H. Prouty, Vermont; NJ. E. Hay, Wash
ington; ]. 9. Dawson, Wisconsin.
Public opinion is now fully convinced
Of the folly, abuses. cost and neglected
opportunities Of the prevailing observ-
ances OF our national holiday. and is
quite ready to support definite and
aggressive action for a better Fourth
of July.
Cities are awaking to the large pos
sibilities July 4 affords for an ex-
pressive, instructive and joyous fes-
tival. The few that tried the new
scheme last year have been increased
to SO cities that are now known to- be
definitely planning sane celebrations.
These are of such varying size and
location as New York City, Derby,
Conn, Racine, Wis, Philadelphia, Pa,
Kalamazoo, Mich, Denver, Colo. Bos-
ton, Mass, and San Francisco, Cal.

The cost OF living has doubled in 10

PAULHAN'S AVIATION RECORDS

Winner OF London Manchester Flight
Also Holds Altitude Record.
Louis Paulhan, the French aviator
who recently completed with only one
stop an aeroplane flight in England
Of 1S6 miles from London to Man
chester, thereby winning the prize of
$4,000 offered by Lord Northcliffe,
proprietor of the Daily Mail. holds at
the present time both the long dis
lance record and the altitude record
for aeroplanes. He made the fight in
4 hours IL minutes and defeated Ora
hame White. an English aviator.
Only few days ago he went dis
lance of $50 miles, from Orleans to Ar
cis-sur-P Aube. France, without alight-
ing. He and Henry Farman were re-
lieying each other in cross country
test. using the same machine. Work
ing partners in this way. they took the
same car over 900 mile stretch. The
distance was covered in Eve hours.
In the Orleans fight Paulhan. al
though he broke the long distance rec
ord, reached an altitude Of only about
1000 feet. 1t was at the Los Angeles
(Cal) meet last January that he won
for heavier than air machines the alti-
tude record, rising 5000 feet. No one
else has ever gone SO high either be-
fore or since in a heavier than air ma
chine. Paulhan used the Farman BIZ
plane. He took only seven minutes
and a half to descend almost a mile.
At another time in the course of the
Los Angeles meet he travelled forty
seven and q half miles in hour and
2 minutes. 2
Previous to Paulhan's 100 mile night
the long distance record was held by
Henry Farman. Last August, at the
Rheims meet, Farmnn went over III
miles in his biplane without alighting
The contestants at that meet for the
distance prize and the distance cover
ed were as follows:
