Especial to The Bulletin.)

The one hundredth anniversary of the first meeting of the general as- sembly under the present constitution and the second general legislative re- union, was observed at the state capi- tol at Hartford on Wednesday. AL though weatherwise conditions were unfavorable for the gathering of for mer legislators from all parts of the state, yet the event was a great big success. The whole affair was ar ranged and personally conducted by William Harrison Taylor. selected for secretary by the legislative committee of arrangements. The attendance was estimated at 2000 of former members snd most all were at the capitol before Il o'clock when there was a general reception of former state officers, sen ators and representatives Then came county reunions in rooms assigned. At noon there were legislative reunions and all in all, the morning was spent in social session by the legislators past and present. To add to the pleasures Mir. Taylor had placards in all the meeting rooms and at different places ahout the capitol placards of welcome and suggestive of good cheer.
 The drizzling rain prevented the the Governors Foot Guard band and orchestra from giving the concert in the open on the lawn on the south side of capitol as planned, and the concert was given in the capito corridor. In addition to instrumental music there was chorus singing and every body seemed filled with inspira- ton and participated.
 The literary exercises were held 1T the hall of the house, which was all too small to accommodate the large number at the capitol to aid in the centennial celebration. Senator Al bert Ii. House. chairman of the com mittee, called the assemblage to order and the order of exercises was as fol lows: Prayer, by Rev. Charles Il. Puff fer, chaplain of senate; address o1 welcome. by Governor Marcus H. Hol- comb; historical address, Former Gov ernor Simeon E. Baldwin; poem, The Spirit of Connecticut: the Constitu- tional State, Herbert Randall of Hart ford; address. Capitals and State Houses of Connecticut, Charles Hop kins Clark. of Hartford; address, The Senate, Hon. Clifford B. Wilson, lieu tenant governor: address. The House Hon. James r. Walsh, speaker of the house. Letters were read from senior state officers, senators. representatives and others. The exercises closed witf singing of America.

per is the idol of the fans, sharing honors with Barney Oldfield. who for many years made his home in Los Angeles.
 Cooper came into prominence as a race driver after the 00-mile races a Indianapolis had become classics and first appeared at Indianapolis in 1913 when as relief driver for the Stutz team he helped Charley Merz win third money in the battle between Jules Goux and the late Spencer Wishart, in which the FTenchman won out and Wishart took second. He had startled the racing world the year be- fore when he defeated both Oldfield and the late Bob Burman in a dlrt track race in California and his sue cess on the west coast caused Harry Stutz to first bring him east to be the teams relief driver
 In 1914 Cooper had his own Stutz and started the race, but turned his wheel over later to Big Boy" Rader to take a rest. While Rader was driv- ing he blew a tire and caromed off the track on the lower turn smashing a wheel after 2S0 miles with the car in fifth place.
 Cooper, who is in business in Sar Francisco and Sacramento, did moi expect to race this year but has changed his mind because as he ad- vised the Indianapolis speedway man agement he wants to be the first Cah- fornian to win the classic and takt the Wheeler Schebler and Presto Lite trophies to the west coast.

 RUN IN BIZ RACE:
 AT INDIANAPO POL|S

INDTANAPOLIS-Earl Cooper, Cal ifornias native son." has entered his Stutz in the 500-mile Liberty sweep stakes at the Indianapolis speedway, May 31. Cooper is anxious to win an Indianapolis five century and get the long end of the $5O,0O0 in cash that goes to the victor
 Cooper fought tooth and toe mail in his last drive at Indianapolis to win the 50O-mile race but could not over take the flying De Palma and Resta, when the former won in 1915. Cooper, however, came in fourth just behind his team mate, Gil Anderson. A few weeks later Cooper scored a 5b0-mile win on the rough course at Mimeapo- lis, rolling across the wire ahead of the field but almost exhausted as the track was so rough that the friction of his. clothing had brought thes blood through the skin.
 After the 1915 campaign the Stutz factory gave up it's racing team and Cooper purchased his own car. Being good engine man he has put more speed under the bonnet of the 16-valve cari and maintains that today it is as fast as anything on the Pacific coast and that he can equal almost any thing in the east.

GOODYEAR MAN |S
 BACK FROM EUROPE

P. W. I.itchfield vice president and factory manager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. has returned from Europe after having spent two months abroad.
 Mr. Litchfield. together with Ralph Upson. the famous Goodyear balloon expert and Clifford Slusser. the ef- ficiencv manager of the Goodyear fac tories at Akron. formed the civilian part of a military committee sent to Europe by the navy department to study airship conditions in the allied countries at the time of the signing Of the armistice.
 This duty took the Goodyear of ficials to England, France and Italy, where they visited and inspected ev- cry construction plant balloon factory and flying field in those countries, and gathered an extensive amount of data which has been incorporated into a report that has just been submitted to the navy department, together with various recommendations and obser- vations on the future of the govern ment's air ship policy.

tlclent as workman and more inde- | pendent as citizen
 In the past, much stress has been lad upon collegiate and university education. This has been effective and has accomplished excellent results but the advantages of this form of ed ucation were limited largely to those who could not afford to remain eight years in grammar school four years in high school and four years in col lege-a total of 16 years with little or no earnings until 21 or 22 years of age.
 Upwards of 90 per cent of the people of this country however are unable to continue with these advantages and about 65 out of every hundred have been leaving public schools through out the country. in the sixth and in the seventh grades. 14 to 1s years of | age, to enter commercial and indus trial pursuits
 Those men who have come "up ! through the ranks know what it has meant to learn their work with no interested instructions. They know what great sacrifice, expense, and loss of time was entailed in obtaining their | training, for advancement in the school of hard knocks" Many a good man has not been able to sue i ceed as he otherwise would with proper encouragement.
 The Willys Overland plan, therefore is of the greatest importance both to
 the workman and employer as it en-
 ahles employees desiring training for
 advancement to get it with the con 1 cern while earning virtually as much
 as they would receive at their regular | jobs instead of having to leave the
 employ of the company and search for
 such an opportunity in another place
 at great personal expense and perhaps
 sacrifice of health, associations and
 often the family comfort.
 Tn adopting this important advanced
 step in manufacturing development.
 the Willys- Overland company is one
 Of the first great industrial organiza-
 tions of this country to apply under
 normal manufacturing conditions one
 of the big lessons learned from the
 war.

 were short of help during the emer-
 gencies of the war, it was possible, by , applying direct training. to develop higher efficiency in employees whose

 Based on this experience, the new n of the Willys- Overland company is one of unusual foresightedness ir it's relations to present national labor conditions as it provides virtually ar . unimpaired income to men during 2 : period when they are learning new 9 work-A period of instruction rather than production.
 The company is interested in turn ing out the best produce made. Thi; means bigger business-more work . but the company realizes that the bes ] product comes from the best workmer | the best Know how'-and this new T opportunity for advancement, is beins offered to the Willys-Overland men 0 solely for the betterment of their owr

 The race will be international in its scope, and either in cars or drivers will be representative of the allies United States, England, Belgium. It. ally and France. The event will pe dedicated to the cause of liberty and will mean the re-opening of the h. dianapolis motor speedway which was closed in 1917 and since given over to war work purposes.
 That the year is to show a wonder ful awakening in motor racing is the SldttIUtnI LII NrtHCi di 1dIdSeT MY CTS, who is already getting big reserva- tions from all parts of the country for seats at the Indianapolis event.
 The races in California indicate the returning interest in motor racing. The recent purchase by Cliff Durant and Eddie Hearne, the California sportsment of the Stutz car which was fooled to the championship in 1915 by Gil Anderson, indicates beyond doubt that this car will be entered and prove a dangerous contender in the Indianapolis event.
