losing their nerve. The driver finds he has lost control of his engine, ! makes a frantic effort to right the plane, fails the first time, lapses into inconsistencies and the plane falls to earth at such terrific speed that the aviator is dead before he reaches the ground.
 During their periods of instruction, cadets about to fly are given a strict course to follow in the air. Tho To- cation in which some airplanes have fallen indicated that the cadets, once up in the air, disregarded their in structbns and followed their own sweet win. According to the rules of the air if each plane has kept its eourse, under normal conditions col i hsion with another plane is not pos sible.
 Lieutenant c. s. Chase of Ellington Field, Houston, recently described some of the hazards and duties of an airnan. Immediately following the first exercises in which the students develop their sense of balance and stability, they are drilled in aerial dynamics.
 Lieutenant Chase declared that lair pockets are not pockets at all, but are ascending and descending cur rents caused by hot and cold waves in the air. A plane ascends in warm currents and falls in cold currents Forests and wet grass and trees make cool air; level stretches where the sun shines contain warm air.
 An aviator must understand mete- orology, photography, wireless teleg- raphy and be master of machine gun fire, lieutenant Chase added. When he becomes a flying cadet and wears a white hat band, he gets his first ride aloft. After a few trips he does 'solo," that is, goes up alone, the most important part of his train ing. Next he flies in formation and then ot cross country trips where he is compelled to land guided only by maps and instruments. Then comes his higher development with machdne- gun fire and other special training which increases his usefulness as one of the t'eyes of the army
 Officers commanding the Texas camps, while deploring the fatalities that have accompanied the training of Uncle SaIn's flyers, say that, in lcomparison with the number of men who have been trained and become iexpert, the total is surprisingly small

 Better Service

As the result of impending confer- ences between G. F. Wells, a repre- sentative of the Department of Labor. and Connecticut Go. officials. it is probable that trolley service in this city will be increased in efficiency very shortly. The government is look ing for betterment of transporta- tion facilities in Bridgeport to keep pace with the improvement of hous- ing conditions which will take place in the near future. Both of these developments are closely allied and extensive improvements in each line will probably be made soon.
