put a clincher on the desire for a field in many quarters
 When Connecticuts Governor, busy as he is, can find time 10 hop off' at Brainard field, run down to New Britain, say hello" to the crowd assembled to greet him and fly back 10 Hartford for another engagement in less time than it would take to drive an au- tomobfe one way to Hartford, he demonstrates what can be done in aerial work if necessary. When a couple of visiting machines can drop in and their pilots talk things over with other pilots on the field, we receive a demonstration of what might be done in casual use Of a field.
 Governor Trumhu is unques- tionably and admittedly an aviation enthusiast. When he aHghted from the plane, attired in his flying togs with parachute attached, he was a picturesque figure and one which instantly won the admiration and applause of the crowd. It was fit ting that his brief address should draw attention to the future of aviation and his words were par ucularly appropriate to the occa- sion. They struck a responsive chord
 The Governor. however, is not enthused over the flying game be- cause of sport alone. He finds the time saved through flying very valuable for his purposes, private and public business affairs. He spoke of leaving the field, flying to New York, transacting some busi- ness, and being back at his office desk in less than three hours upon one occasion last week. The Gov ernor enjoys flying as a sport, he uses it for business and it makes an ideal combination with both.
 Of course the home town of Charlie Hamilton and Nels Nelson, pioneers in the aerial game, can- not expect to have a flying circus such as the Gates aggregation every day. Bat it can expect, should 1t establish a field, to have that landing place used in the l everyday routine of commercial aviation, used more and more as | aviation develops. True, Hartford, with it's field is near but that will make little difference in the future, It is certain that use of a field here would develop with astound- ing rapidity should there be one, as there certainly will be some day

c. Does a woman citizen of the United States retain her American citizenship after marriage to an alien? Do the immigration laws apply in her case?
 A. The Cable Act approved Sep tember 22, 1922, provides that after that date, the citizenship of married women shall no longer follow that of their husband. American women married after that date do not lose their American citizenship and are not subject to the immigration law.
 Q. Did Carpenter ever fight "Bombardicr" Billy Wells?
 A. According to the records they fought twice in 1913. At Ghent, Belgium June 1st, Carpenter knocked out Wells in four rounds. At London, England, December s, Carpenter again won by knockout, this time in one round.
 Q. What is the Horace Mann school in New York city?
 A. A high school connected with the Teachers College of Columbia University.
 Q. What are Como beds?
 A. A thin series of beds extend ing from Wyoming along the east base of the Rocky mountains into Colorado, containing a rich land fauna of mammals and reptiles.
 Q. What proportion of the earth constitutes the British Empire and what is it's population?
 A. The British Empire occupies over one-quartcr Of the estimated world population of 1,S3S,44O,O51.
 Q. Where is Roosevelt Dam How large is it?
 A. On Salt river. Arizona. It is 2S0 feet high; 1,125 feet long; has a storage capacity of 51&,00O million gallons and was built at cost of $4,o91,Oo0.
 Q. What are spider webs made of?
 A. At the apex Of the abdomen of the spider are to 6 short, often two-jointed pieces, the spinnerets, or spinning organs. Each spinncret has on it's surface many minute oriflces. from each of which may issue a thread, and the many threads joined together make the spiders line. The substance which eXudes from the spinnerets is glu- tinous but dries on contact with the air.

some of them have been disap- pointed in being unable to witness some of the stunts that were ad- vertised 10 be put on. but which were not. The Herald, and it speaks also for the management of the Gates fliers, has an explana- tion 10 make in this connection. Ii feels that it owes as much to the general public.
 Owing 10 the fact that some one connected with the aviation com mission suddenly changed his mind, the so-called! ''wing-walking stunts" were barred, with repre- sentative of the State Police on the field 10 see that there was no per formance on the wings or the fuse lage of a plane while it was in the air. No explanation was given 10 the Herald, Mir. Gates or the gen. eraI public, beyond a demonstra- tion that control of aviation is in the hands Of the commission, abso- lutely, and that the orders must be obeyed. MT. Gates recognized that fact and forbade his flyers to live up to the advertised program, al- though feeling thoroughly upset over the refusal to allow him to go through with his program here as he has done in a couple of other cities of the state.
 Notwithstanding the lack of the usual wing stunts, however, We feel sure that the public generally has been treated to an unusual display of aerial work and while there may be regret that some of the stunts were disbarrnd there is nothing but admiration for what has been seen.

.SlO,OOO STILL IN ORANGE IS SEIZED
Federal Agents Make Largest
 Haul in State

Orange, Conn, Oct. 13 P>-Fed-
 eral prohibition agents today dis
 mantIed the largest illicit distilling plant ever found In Connecticut. The still, valued by the agents at S1o,000 was seized last night in
 barn not far from the center of the town.
 It had a capacity of 1000 gallons.
 Six men were arrested.
 Hundreds of five-g gallon tins filled with denaturcd alcohol were found in the barn. Tn a storehouse for the distillery, about a mile away, the agents discovered many empty drums.
 The still was first located in the storehouse but was moved when it's operators became suspicious that the hiding place had been discovered. Dismantling of the huge apparatus commenced at the new hiding place in preparation for another move when the agents arrived last night. INb OL lIlc Hlel dTTtSltu were caught as the raiders entered the building Two more were taken when they drave into the barnyard in a small truck. The others were brought down from a hiding place near the roof of the barn. Two other men were caught in the vii cinity but were released after ap- parently satisfying the agents in &C., counting for their presence there. Frank T. Putney, prohibition ad- ministrator for this state. was pres cnt at the raid which was directed by John A, Morse. Four other fed eral men and two Orange constables aided him. The prohibition men had been working on the case for a month.
 The men under arrest gave their names as William Ieyentis, Leon , Raymond and Joe Kramer, all of 1 New Haven; Peter Soragan of 1 Wellington, \. J., William Debues- ] ter of Passaic, N. J., and Jacquin Balbino of New York city.

THE SHARKEY-WILLS FIGHT

After assimilating the reports of the battle for pugilistic honors be- tween Harry Wills, negro, and Jack Sharkey. white, held at Eb- bets Field last night we begin to wonder what there is 10 this fight game, beyond the publicity features of a boxers management and the ability of man possessed with mediocre ability In the ring to bluff himself into a position of prominence.
 Wills has been recognized, for some time, by the New York state boxing commission as well as others, as the foremost contender for the heavyweight championship and the logical opponent of Jack Dempsey for the title which the latter lost a few weeks ago to Gene Tunney at Philadelphia. The big black fighter had been hot on Dempsey's trail for long time in- decd, as big money loomed in the ohing and he wanted his slice, even though he must have known he was through. He was a beaten man last night even before Sharkey got the decision after a violation of boxing rules. Badly cut and bruised he was gamely doing his best to stay on his feet, but that was about all. beyond the fact that he was either so desperate or so numb mentally that he was trying blow that is disallowed.
 Had there been a bout between Dempsey and Wills it would cer- tainly have been a farical affair. Dempsey. the title-hoder was through; Wills, the logical con tender for the championship, was through. Suppose they had met.
 Of course Tunney is now cham pion; of course Sharkey will be the logical contender for Tunneys crown, We wonder if, somewhere in the sticks, lacking a press agent and the means to acquire recogni- ton there Is not man who could lick either one or both of them.
 Evidently championship bouts in the future are going to he endur- ance contests with elderly gentle men. barely able to stand in the ring, trying to outpoint each other and hold onto their duJiously won nstic honors for the sake of the theatrical and moving picture money thereby obtained, instead oi real fights for real honors between active contendcrs. But as long as the public is satisfied 10 fall fol publicity instead of ability thi. will he fact Probably Dempsey and Wills could have collected ar enormous gate for a fight In view of past events the fight would mol have been worth a cent to witness

NEW ENGLAND AND
THE NEW SOUTH

New England, with its 66,oo0, square miles. is often compared with the Southland and it's 9G9OOO square miles as if this tier of states had reason 10 feel aggrievcd at the rapid recent development of the "new south" The chief difference be- tween the two sections lies in the fact that New England is already de- veloped. industrially speaking while the South, after a half century Of quiesccnce following the Civil War and the carpet bag days. is just dis covering its possibilitics-and with the consistent help of New England capital.
 The capital invested in New Eng land manufacturing totals $5,656,- 000,000, a glance at a government report discloses. But this total is only s1,20O,OO0O0O less than the manufacturing investment Of the en- tire South. In the course of a few years there may be more capital in vested in the South's vast extent than in New England, but that will not mean southern industry is 10 compare in intensity per square mile of territory with that in New England.
 Lacking coal and iron and other raw materials for manufacturing, New England has created wealth Of manufacturing rivaling that of the entire South with a population of nearly 39,oOo,0OO people, with unlimited natural resources, and with an area 15 times that of New England.
 The progress of the south may be in full swing but it will take a long time for fl to catch up to New Eng land in per capita production of manufacturing wealth.
 Meantime there are signs New England is waking up to maintain it's supremacy,
