FLYING AUTOMOBILE . NEWEST INVENTION
Machine Speeds Through Air and
 Lands in SWiInlnin' Hole
Special to the HeraldJ

southington. July 16.--Fred Reich Of S3 Albert Place. Waterbury, had the unusual experience last evening Of taking A flying ride in his automobile through the air and landing on all fours, as 1t were, in the middle Of q river.
 The accident happened on the Southington tide of Dunham's bridge about 6:30 o'clock last evening. Reich was driving towards Plainville on the right side of the road, when, as he claims, small sedan approached over the bridge and turned straight for him. In order to avoid headon collision. according to Reich, he was forced to step on the gas and pull his touring car to the left. As he did this, the other car swung back again and Reich attempted to go onto the trolley tracks and get out of the se- dams way.
 By this time, his automobile was travelling at fast rate of speed and when 1t hit the trolley tracks, 1t took bound and shot down 15-foot embankment and into the Quinnipiack river, which at this point is about four feet deep. Here the car came to a stop in the muddy bed and Reich clambered out and reached the bank safely
 Some boys who were bathing in "the old swimming hole" which is the other side of the railroad tracks which run parallel with the trolley tracks at this point, stated that they saw Reich go down the bank and in their opinion, his automobile took a flying leap from the middle of the trolley tracks into the river without touching the bank. Reich, however. says that he slid slowly down the bank and into the water, but there were no tracks to show the course which the automobile took, and as the car was well past the middle of the stream. apparently the automobile was going at fast rate of speed.
 Efforts were made to drag the au- tomobile up the bank and on to the road last night, but they were unsuc- cessful and this morning about 9 o'clock a truck and crew of workmen succeeded In getting 1t back onto the road. The machine was practically unchanged except for the water which had seeped into if.
 Reich was uninjured in the plunge and failed even 10 get wet. He wasn't in the aviation corps during the war.

 Into Class Rates on R. K.

Washington, July 16.-The Inter- state Commerce commission today announced an investigation into class rates within official territory, which includes roads east of the Mississippi and north of the Potomac end Ohio rivers.
 Thei investigation was instituted partly because the commission found that in many instances the class rates within that part of official ter ritory known as trunk line territory, between trunk line territory and cen- tral and New England territories, and between central territory and New England territory, are higher for shorter than for long distances over the same route.
 Dates and points for hearings will be announced later.

The Three Major Questions

AAN a ~ ~ A'ANJCA NsNa~''SNN3
There are three questions that l try
to make myself answer every year.
This first is, what am / trying to
do?"
Life gets stale as swill unless it is
stirred often. Gunners have to CON
stantly test their aim. Guns are like
men, they are useless without aim.
Aim keeps the planet in its orbit and
man or woman at his or her best.
Drifters never are anything but
driftwood. A definite try puts power
into our purposes.
In youth you can set out to own a
farm, and educate the children. Now
that middle life has come, there are
great things to be thought about and
done.
what are you trying to do" with
the remaining years? l am convinced
that fewer people than we think have
a definite goal. What kind of man

print of plans and drawings. Charac-
ters are about the only things that are
allowed to lust grow" as Topsy said
in Uncle Toms Cabin. The Master of
men said, IL must be about my Fathers
business"
The second question almost drives
me to distraction at times. 1t is Am
getting it done?"
i have often semi-wished that the
Almighty had made heroism of a little
less exacting stuff.
The greatest thinker of the past 100
years said, 'The greatest enemy of hu-
man goodness and greatness is not sin
or ignorance, terrible as they are, but
inertia That is the scientific name
for laziness.
The Columbuses who sail on" in
spite of winds and floods and darkness
are rare. Most of us say, Pull for the
shore"
a farm boy who was sent out to hoe
corn was asked at noon how many rows
he had hoed. He replied, when l get
these two / am on and eleven more |
will have thirteen"
The future rubs right against the
present, and takes its color from today. |
Break with work today, and tomorrow
is in danger. There is no other way
than TO keep eternally at It,
The third question We shall not be
able to answer till the close of life
VIII il be worth while?"
"Ty" Cobb, the worlds greatest ball
player and manager, was asked what
he would do if he had his life to live !
over. He said, If | had my life TO
live over again, | would probably be
surgeon instead of bali player. l |
have only one regret: / shall not have |
done any real good to humanity when
| retire"
OF course, no man living can com
pletely enter into the thoughts of |
Christ, but ] have often tried to imag-
inc how He felt when He said, Il have
finished the work thou gavest me to
do"
In some deep sense each one of us !
has our work born with us, and If we
set our souls to do some decent and I'M
selfish thing each day, and keep the
