WRITES NEW INSURANCE. JreyeIers of Hartford First to Enter
 Aircraft Field.

Hartford. April 21--Aircraft 'insur- ance beig long foreseen, but up to the present time not undertaken OH q serious scale by any American com pany, became a reality this week when the Travellers insurance com Dany announced that it would insure owners, operators and passengers against many of the risks of aerial travel.
 The Travellers regards airplaning as something more than aL sport, as it's program is based on the assum . - ion that the use of airplane for busi- ness and civilian purposes will in- crease vastly in the next few years. Aerial transportation companies are already being esta blished in this coun- try.
 The company says that it is pre- pared to issue life and accident in surance on persons using airplanes. It will also insure the compensation risk for companies making or operating airplanes, as well as the liability and property damage risks of the owners and operators. The Travellers is the first company 10 take this step, just as it was the first to write personal accident tickets in America and the first to write d liability policy for au- tom ObiliStS

 Paying Assessments.

Hartford, April 21.A-F'ormer Sena- tor Edward $. Boyd, secretary Of the teachers retirement board said to- day that there are at present $500 teachers on the active list of the bo1rd who are paying annual assessm ents to entitle them to all annuity. Tho high est number on tic list since the board was created was 3.900. Six hundred resigned because of retirement. Their money was refunded.
 Mr. Boyd referring to the increase of salaries of the teachers in the state i'll the past few years, said that salaries under $400 a year have practically disappeared and the rate for teachers in country districts now range from S4o0 to $500 for the school year of thirty-six weeks, He has been in- formed that the minimum rate of compensation for teachers who have graduated from the state normal school is $500 year. This minimum cannot be maintained in schools and towns of the state because the supply of normal school teachers is not equal to the demand.
