WILL DEVELOP
 HYpRoPLANE NEXT.
Norwich Aviator Plans for the Future -Rusiness Mems Association Ad- Vertisinq.

Before leaving here for the Hemp stead Plains aviation field, on Long Island, with hls new nenoplane, Ed son F. Gallaudet stated that he still intended to proceed upon the develop ment of his hydroplane, which he completed last July and tried out on the Thames river at different times during the summer. Through his in- terest in building the new Gallaudet monoplane, the hydroplane had been temporarily put aside, but he expected to resume work on it later and bring 1t to perfection.
 While Mir. Gallaudets achievements in the science of aviation have given Norwich its first active avator, since he holds both French and American licenses, the Norwich Business Mems association has taken up the matter of endeaVoring to secure an aeronautical concern to locate here. Fl R. Branche of the industrial committee, whose other member is T. c. Murphy, wrote an advertisement for publication in aeronautical magazines at their own expense, and through ". H. Ste1obins the following advertisement has ap- peared in one of the aviation week lies:
 ''The Norwich Business Mems asso- SAotiOOt AAtNss ID uCblA JUS OI BCLlfIAS touch with 6 reliable aviation school; one desiring a factory site and flying course preferred This is because the beautiful Thames river, 14 miles in length, midway between Boston and New York, offers unusual opportunl- ties. On the east shore are the tracks of the New York. New Haven & Hart ford railroad; on the west shore lie the tracks of the Grand Trunk, with the best of water front and dOckage facilities on any of its industrial sites. The course is the one made famous be- cause of the Yale Harvard boat races moving been rowed upon its placid wa ters for nearly 50 years. bringing with it to this, the queen of New England waters, its thousands of the youngest, fairest, brightest and best of human ity, and focusing the eyes of the en- l tire word on this same 14 miles Of the

 The same notice is to be used in other publications, from which it is hoped something will result.

Geese Puzzled by Cold W.,4t.r

By an observer at Trading Cove the thermometer at S15 Tuesday morning was reported at 2s, three degrees be- low freezing. He said that the wild geese which were flying over on their way north seemed to be confused and some of the flocks headed south again. which he thought might be caused by the cold snap, causing them to think they had made mistake in their reck- oning and had started north too soon,
 For the past week wild geese in large fiocks have been heard flying north each night by the Norwich policemen on duty.
