AVIATION FIELD HERE

1 New Britain is inde bted to Cover i nor 1'empleton for the reminder re-
 ceivcd by Mayor Paonessa that we
 should be considering the matter of
 aiding in the development of aviation : to the extent at least. of planning to { provide for an aviation field. The first i reason for such a field Of course, is ! that it would place New Britain among ] the cities of the country providing for , landing places for the army planes, { especially, which are always fin the air''--quite literally so when it is diff 1 ficult for them to find proper facilities for descending.
 Mayor Paonessa did the obviously correct thing in replying 10 the gov ernor that he would take the matter
 up with the board of public works and
 the city zoning commission and with
 the chamber of commerce. To have
 shown no interest in this phase Of
 progress would have stamped New
 Britain as a city without outside in-
 terests and without any vision Of
 what the future will bring.
 Absolutely new ideas will have to
 be developed in the treatment Of the air now that its use makes a new method of transportation possible. When the first railroad trains came along the farmers objected to the way they frightened their horses and cattle, in some cases making the COWS ''go dry" Actually there were men in those days who felt that the railroads were going to rHn them, just as there have been until recently and are now per-
 haps. men who dcnounce the great automobile industry and think it would be far better for the country were we back in the days when the horse. mule or OK was the only animal to draw small loads.
 A city can make no mistake in be- ing among the first to recognize the improvements that have been proven capable of great developments to the enrichment of the world. Many public service transportation companies would have been far better on today, i and the communities which they are | still allowed to serve would have been l better off fl thcg had been alert 10 l and quick to recognize i inevitable changes that were coming. | In recognizing what aviation will 1 mean to the country. New Britain would be among the first to receive advantages from if. The development of aviation in this country will be along commercial lines. That is the real purpose of the pres nnt romantic trip around the globe, by the government. That Is Inc reason New Britain should get in on the ground floor" of this great en- terprise.

The Spinster's Song of Leap Year

The Spinster's Song Of Leap Year
 By George s. Chappell Four years ago when leap year came My mood was very high and mighty, And those who sought to change my
 name treated in manner highty. Suitors, you see, l had aplenty Way back in good old Nineteen
 Twenty. Now four more years have ambled by And while I'm not yet old or crone-
 like, realize each day that I Grow slightly more aus,ere and bone
 like, And though my pep is still uniaded My rosy cheek is slightly faded. Then hail 10 Nineteen twenty-four, With joyous hope my heart-strings
 thrilling. When maidens may propose once
 more And grab the first guy that looks
 willing. And If I see chance to do 1t. Believe me, Girls, I'm going to do 1t. 4 man may find woman's love true as steel and yet be sorely dis appointed at the temper.

day, of course, the radio will be as
 common as the telephone. It may even
 suppiant it, although that is looking
 ! long way into the future. It presents
 a possibility which indicates new
 sources Of income for the national
 government in ways not dreamed of at the moment. The suggestion Of the
 brokers on Wall street. therefore, has a significance. Although it will not be necessary for the United States to fall heir to some great legacy in order to meet the maturing bonus obligations, nevertheless it is quite possible that the nation will. strike oil'--not, it is to be hoped, in the way it has just been doing it in Washington.
 And incidental to the mention Of the bonus it will be interesting to hear the results of the investigation being made as to what the bonus would actually cost, the various estimates at present being s2,11e.e00.o00, according to the actuary of the Veterans Bureau: s3,- 800, ,000,000, according tc the Amer ican Legion actuary and s4,S50.000,- GOO according to the actuary of the United States treasury department, the varying estimates resulting from a difference Of opinion as to the num- Der of veterans eligible for it and l whether or not it is proper to add the 1 interest on the sinking fund which l will be raised by payment to it of ! sfo0, ,00o,0o0 year by the govern ment.

|Doheny Tells
 Story of Life
First Big Fortune Made and Lost When Oil Is Struck by AdVenturer

F. L. Doheny is telling his ow
 story for readers of this paper. Thi
 is the seventh chapter of the oi
 magnate's narration, How I Mad
 My Millions"
 Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.
 One day in Los Angeles l saw |;
 teamster drive by with a load of blacl
 substance that looked like the silve
 ore used to get at Silver City, N. M l jumped on the brakebeam and ex Jmined the product more closely. asked the driver what it was. Ht sair "Breer."
 "Brea," is Spanish term for pitef -an exudation of oil. Reasoning 1 from cause to effect--the whole secret | of nose for oiP'-I decided tha, there must be oil where this 'breer' came from. For this substance is to oil in the ground what resin is to the sap Of tree.
 1 I knew this from the experience l ! gained from digging for other min- i eral; and from books on oil that had been reading recently. So went out to Westlake Park, where the driv- 1 cd said he found tine stuff, and looked around. It looked like oil. all right, but land in that part of town was ex- 1 pensiye. So I traced its stratum and found similar surface about mile away.
 Then I went to Charlie Canfield, with whom had prospected before, and asked him for his views I was on the point of going to Phoenix to open a law office, and didn't want 10 lose any more time on idle prospect ing. But the urge was too great. We decided to go to it again.
 We bought the corner lot from a grocer. whom we paid on the install mont plan. and set 10 work-digging for oil, just as we had dug for gold and silver.
 The place was in swamp area and we were not disturbed by idle, on- lockers. At 150 feet VIC found some oil; at eo5 feet we struck gusher.
 Nearly every event which marked an epoch in my life occurred on Nov. 4th or 5th.
 My Son was born on Nov. 5th.
 I discovered Kingston, N. M., on Nov. ith, 1880.
 And I made the discovery of my first oil on Nov. 5th, 1892.
 It augured well. In IS months we made sl,4i5,0oo in the Los Angeles field.
 We went into other Areas-Fuller- ton, Kern River Valley Others went. too. The great oil scramble was on.
 In 1S9s became involved in poll tics for the first and only time. It was the only time that I was in any place at election time where I could qualify as voter. supported Will liam Jennings Bryan, and got into a with my bankers, who cut off my credit. This tied up my pro. perties and we had to have trustee appointed to manage them.
 So at 40 years of age, didn't have much ready money. But felt young CT than ever, for had knowledge of 2 now kind of mining--how to find oil. And l was happy.

TOMORROW

Tomorrow VIC will elect the mar who will be at the head of the city administration for the next two years The fact that both men running for the office of mayor arc considered worthy of the high office should not tend to bring indifference which would result in a light vote. Perhaps there is nothing more discourag ging to . successful candidate, whether he realizes it or not, than to feel, after he assumes office, that he was elected by small portion of the voters Of this city. He takes up the reins of gov ernment with far less enthusiasm if he wonders. even unconsciously, if after all, want him rather than his opponent.
 This year this aspect Of the cleo fion is especially important for both candidates are conscientious men. un-
 
 neither would have run had there not been strong influence brought to bear upon him to seek the office.
 The natural question is. if this be admitted. what sortof influence affect cd each. No one believes that any vast multitude Of persons in the city came to either Of the candidates and urged him to run. The spolesmcn who re- iocted the general sentiment Of the mass of voters were few in number. probably. Neither candidate is candi- date because "hc has nothing else to do" Judge Alling will have to give up more lucrative position than the mayoralty if he wins. Mayor Paoncssa has his private business through which he would undoubtedly make more money were ho 10 give it his un- divided attention. Neither is dependent upon politics for Il living.
 But looking again at the Influence brought 10 bear--thc impelling motive which induced both men to run and fl should be said now tbat less pressure was needed 10 make the mayor seek an endorsement than was needed 10 make Judge filling enter the contest--we can not picture . ,rat,x Vti,,,, tYtl,, ,,,,,..n,'s ,,a. ing 10 Judge Alling and pleading with him 10 seek the office. Nor can we pie ture group representing the type Of voters never included in the expression "thc masses" going to Mayor Paoncssa ] and urging him to run. It is butte the 1 other way about, this picture that | comes to mind.
 An honest, impartial study of the . situation brings the conviction to even an admirer Of the type Of men Judge filling represents. that the in- fuence which induced Mayor Paoncssa to seek the office was his belief that he had given q good administration to the city and that inc people wanted him to run again, and that the innu- snco which impolled Judge Alling 10 enter inc contest was the desire Of the republicans leaders 10 get this city back into line. especially in view Of the fall election. This is said with the sim cere belef that Judge Alline. as well as Mayor paoHessa. would do an that he could to give the people or the city the best administration possible.
