MAYOR STILL HOPES
 FOR BATHING POOL
Will Suggest to Council That Pro- vision Be Made for Swimming

When the common council meets ir
 special session. which will be within two weeks, Mayor A. Nj, Paonessa plans to bring before that body sug- gestion that provision be made to fur nish the youths of the city with a swimming pool, possibly in the form of an enclosed pool that may be used the entire year around.
 Mayor Paonessa Is strong advo- cate of municipal pools. Last year he was responsible for the establishing of a place in the north end park where thousands of children and many grown-ups enjoyed swims, but because of sanitary condltlons and inability to change the water frequently enough to make the pond desirable, the pool was abandoned near the end of the summer season.
 This year the mayor favored anoth- CT location in the same park Resi- dents of Belvidere offered opposition and the mayor called an open forum for discussion of pools, The meet ing was poorly attended and of the few present, majority were opposed. Mayor Paonessa did not push this project further.
 However. the mayor is not inclined to consider the matter at an end and this morning he pointed out the many of a municipal swimming pool. The executive will not be in a position to make any definite recom- and if the price is not prohibitive would like to see an en- closed pool. but if this is not possible at this time would urge tank in the outdoors.

July 24.-A plan which it is believed will ultimately result in the reunion of the Northern and Southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal church divided in 1S44 over the question of slavery was ready for presentation to the joint commission on unifcation at the opening session of It's four r-day meeting here today.
 The plan was prepared by a joint committee of 16 the members of which are confident that it will be &C., cepted according to Bishop William F. Anderson of Cincinnati, chairman of the northern branch of the commit tee.
 On the other hand, Bishop John M. Moore of Dallas. Tex. believes there will be no uniflcation until racial differences can be ironed out" which will probably be several years.
 The northern branch has mem- hership of 4,200,000 the largest of any denomination in the coun- try, according to latest reports. The southern church claims 100000

company is further extending its plan Ito electrify the entire road.
 The locomotives vii lbe used on the New York division and the plan to to eliminate entirely the use of steam passenger locomotives on that division. AS yet there are no definite plans to extend the identification of the road to Hartford or Springfield, but with the New York division fully equipped to handle its passenger traffic with electric locomotives, arrangements will be instituted looking toward the electrification of the entire system, al though it is not anticipated that this can be done in the immediate future.
 There is a slight change in the de- sign of the new engines. The cabs on the present standard type used by the road are four feet shorter than the cabs on the locomotives ordered, but the difference necessitates only slight structural changes. The four feet extension is made in order to provide better cab facilities for the operators.

will see the greatest concentration OF
the naval aerial forces that has yet
been attempted. Experience on
which the plans for this year are
based was secured In three previ-
Gus winters.
Last year, a squadron Of eighteen
scouting planes accompanied the
fleet to Panama, flew more than
1000 miles on their own resources
and performed $4,000 miles Of scout
ing operations while in Southern
waters.
New Types Developed.
In the past year, however, several
new types Of naval planes which
have been under development, have
been placed in quantity production
and will have their first service test
with the combined fleet. These
types include the new torpedo and
bombing planes, known to naval
service as the DIT, or Douglas Tor
Dedo plane, and the new observa-
ton planes which were developed to
be carried on board light cruisers as
aerial scouts.
In addition, it is expected that q
long range scouting squadron will
also be flown south. This squadron
will be Of the newest type of plane
which has been developed by the
Navy Department. It combines the
functions OF three previous types in
that it may be used for scouting,
for torpedo attack or for bombing
operations. AS an aerial scout it
would have a range of approx
mately 1000 miles as seaplane.
This would Of course mean that it's
weight carrying capacity would be
utilized for fuel instead Of for carry
ing bombs or torpedoes. This new
seaplane is so designed that it may
be equipped as land plane by SUBJ
shutting wheels for the pontoons
which give 1t notation in the water.
Made Possible by Carrier.
It might be mentioned that the
airplane carrier has made this inter
changeability of landing device a

naval aircraft. The aircraft carrier

MEASURES
GOODAF TER
100 YEARS
U. S. Bureau Tests Yardstick
and Cup Given Virginia by
George II.
BY WILLIAM PICKETT HELM.

For nearly $50 consecutive years
the yardstick and the pint cup shown
in the accompanying photograph have
been doing daily duty as the official
stanuarue OF measurement for Alex
andria, Va.
Recently L. NJ. Price, city auditor
and custodian of the standards,
shown in the photograph, and other
city authorities decided to have the
Federal Government test the stand
ards to see IL constant use for nearly
two centuries had worn them to In
accuracy. The measures tested 100
per cent.
Other Measures Sent.
The old yardstick is also an ell
measure--a standard that long since
has passed into disuse. Yardstick,
pint cup and other measures, includ-
ing bushel, peck, gallon and other
sizes, together with standards OF
weights, were sent over to the colony
Of Virginia by his majesty, George
II Of Great Britain, in 1744.
At that time George Washington
was but twelve years Of age and the
cherry tree incident was still recent
history.
Another measure sent over with
the lot was a wine measure. 1t was
the crowns order that gentleman
might consume daily wine measure
OF liquor and no more. That meas
ure was in widespread use for about
thirty years, or until the Revolu-
ton. With the exceptions Of the
wine measure and the ell, the stand
ards are all used by the city today.
Made Of Brass.
All Of the standards are hand
somely made Of brass, and probably
will see service for another 100 years.
On each weight and measure there
Is an inscription in raised letters
