BIBLE CLASS
Discussion On "Is It Right to Have a
 Good Time7"
AT M. c. A.

Monday night at the Y M. c. A. building the regular session of the Mems Bible class was held and a good sized group of men was present. The subject of the study was '1s It Right to Have a good Time?" The Scripture selected was Phil. 3:S Final ly, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatso- ever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, think on these things The following points were brought out in the study of the sub- ject. The real purpose of a good time is relaxation in order to ease the strain on body and mind, and recre- ation in order to rebuild the wear and tear. Too often the so-called good time is dictated by the lower nature rather than the higher and the result is disastrous to both body and soul.
 Ofttimes fellow has good time in utter disregard of the rights of otli- CTS; when one has a so-called good time which is dictated by the lower self he is liable to lose his capacity to enjoy real pleasure; his conscience is silenced, his spiritual life swamped and his principles broken
 A really good time means to have a good conscience to hold to the highest and to insist that our pleasures be on a level with our best natures, ard to see to it that our pleasures cause pain to no one.
 Every man should line up with the teachings of Jesus. Secretary Edwin Hill leG the class.

New York national guard. using the Gallaudet machines, is the first avia- ton training school to be established by the national guard of any state.
 connectieut's Opportunity.
 Many states 1t has been announced are to add aviation sections to their militia but Connecticut is not one of the number though Rhode Island is men, toned.
 It was pointed out on Monday even ing by a Norwich man interested in aviation that Connecticut has a unique position and what can easily be a highly important position in relation to the aviation plan for national defense. Long Island sound, a land-locked body of water( guarded at it's eastern en- trance by the powerful forts on Fish CTS Island. and adjacent islands, forms the southern coast line, along which are important cities with harbors.
 Seapianes stationed at any of these harbors would be but a half hour flight to the open sea where they could CO., operate effectively with any naval or land plan of defense. The sound It. self would be an ideal course for the development of the seaplane and the state would possibly be the best sit- uated of any state in the Union to undertake this important service. Though in a protected position it is ports and If the state took up the de- velopment of the sea plane it would be rnedering a highly valuable service.
 The latest state in which it is re- ported that money has been raised for aviation schools is New Jersey where it is understood that S100,000 is to be devoted to this bject.

Washington, May 21.-Rapid legis-

branch outdistanced the senate which
is still in the throes of the rivers and

buster took up the week except for a
brief time given to approving the
army reorganization bill. It will be
resumed tomorrow. The house during
the week passed the flood control
bill, the rural credits bill, the confer
ence report, the army bill, the gov
eminent shipping bill and the naval
committee concluded its work on the
naval appropriation, and construction
bill. The fight over the Kenyon and
La Toilette resolution to hold open
the session on nominations, is EXPECT
ed in the senate tomorrow. The q $
olption grew out of the fight over the
nomination of George Rublee to the
