British Troops
 Leave Ireland
 Badly In Debt

Dublin. April 29 - Complaint has been made in some districts of Ire land that the departing British forces of the Auxiliary divisions have gone without paying their private debts
 In Kilkenny. an official notice was published inviting traders to send in their claims but some of the traders have found it impossible to get their money.
 Sir Han1ar Greenwood referred them to the Police Department in Dublin Castle and the adjutant of the Auxil- iaries replied that Sit is regretted that no action can HCw be taken against the individuals concerned as they have all been dispersed. Attached however please find list of their last known addresses
 When this reply was sent to the Chief Secretary he wrote: ''The debts to which you refer were private lia- bflities of the individual cadets and as such the government have no pow CT to take action to receive these monies for you.''
 The grievance of the traders arises from the fact that they could not af- ford to apply to these formidable auxiliary policeman the ordinary tests of trade credit. When raids were frequent and destructive 1t was nat urally thought unsafe to refuse goods to the forces which could make them

Fairfield Will
 Enforce New
 Gas Pump Law

Fairfield will enforce the new gasoline pump law strictly, according to information received today. A representative of the Department of Motor Vehicles was in Fairfield re- gently and conferred with several of the selectnlen regarding the enforcing of the regulation.
 It is said that he delegated power to the selectmen to put into force the regulations where ever they thought that pumps were a menace to public safety. It is understood that the town officers have assigned Road Supervisor Charles Rowe to view all the pump sites in the town and to make a report.
 If the regulation is enforced strict ly in Fairfield many gasoline dealers will be forced out of business. At Ash Creek there is a stand with the pump almost on the sidewalk. If the law stating that pumps must be IS feet from the gutter is enforced here ness. All along the Post Road there back from the road the required number of feet and 1t is said that these men will have to take up their pumps if they can not comply with the law.
 The first example that the Town in- tends to enforce the new law Is in the case of Curtiss Taylor who was obliged to put his/ pump back 22 feet from the road. His station is located in Greenfield. The representative of the Motor Vehicle department viewed the location and gave orders for the removal of the pump to another site.

that no more than four persons have thus far seen the result of his effort. His staff of engineers is very small, and when it becomes necessary for the employment of large number of men the work is allotted to various shops and is done according to speci- fications which make it impossible for the workmen to learn what they are achieving. When each group of work men completes it's part of the work the whole is assembled by Brennan and his assistants in the secrecy of aerial sheds at F'arnsboro.
 Experiments Expensive.
 Brennan's experimental works at F'arnsboro are very expensive and it
 is understood that several test lights of the helicopter have already been made. It has been officially admitted that the he1icopter has successfully flown. but there has been no announcement of the height of the flight or it's duration. It is un>
 derstood, however, that these pre- Hn1inary tests have caused Brennan

London, April 29-The helicopter, an airplane which flies perpendicu- larly, is virtually an actuality, ac- cording to authoritative information.
 The Air Ministry of Great Britain is maintaining the strictest secrecy concerning the development of the helicopter, but it is learned that tests which already have been made indi- cate that within a very short time the Air Ministry will be able to an- nounce that a British inventor has perfectedt he helicopter.

to give assurance to the British AIT
 Ministry that within comparat1Vely short time he will be able to demon s-ratep ublicly the feasibility Of the

 The British Government has of fered a prize of s200.000 to the hrst
 successful inventor of hel1copter' and at F'arnsboro there are numerous
 mechanics who are wagering that Brennan will collect the prize From Paris comes ar eport that Marquis Eaters Pescara, inventor or
 the Pescara helicapter, has completed a successful test. before the French Minister of Air at Issy les Moul1~ neaux.
 The British Air Ministry, however,
 will continue tests with Brenan's ma chine, hopeful that it will prove more successful than that of the French inventor. While considerable
 rivalry exists between the two nations in the development of this novel air
 craft Great Britain's enthusiasts are not divulging any of their plans.
