THE SPEEDY PLANES

Man has travelled a short distance at the rate of 2sl miles an hour, he has made a longer at an average Of PSI and approximately a half miles an hour. At such speeds inc Eng fish cntraut, Lieutenant $. N, Web ster captured the Schneider cup, a trophy which is annually awarded to the aviator making the greatest speed in an aeronlaue. In ao.ng this Webster exceeded the mitjage per hour made hy an Italian 'n'rant last year by B miles.
 Lieutenant S. N. Kinhead sUc- ceeded iu traycliua &, the rate of -9l miles an hour for part of tho dis tance, bu, was forced to withdraw from he race.
 i One wonders at the tremendous momentum Of the flying machines built up during the Schneider races It would take q mathematician or greater ability than Nc arc 10 figurc what the air pressure per inch O. surface against the body of the ma chimes must be when they are going al the rate mentioned. Of course no 1 part of the bodies ot the ariators are exposed. being protected by fuselage and screens. It is quite possible that the force of the rush would break 3 ! mans neck were his head only eN- posed to the resistance Of the air. If might actually decaritate him. IT all probabilities the resistance of ti1' atmosphere is built up by the spee' . until it is as solid as dry land under normal pressure.
 The plane. one of them at least traveled B miles an hour fastel than was trayelcd q year ago. The question arises whether a core spending increase in speed may hr made next year. f so over 800 miles per hour will be attained. This rate f ii were possible 10 keep il up would mean that an aviator could fly from here 10 Paris in twelve hours or could enclrc'c the Flobr along the equator line in abou eighty hours. There is no reason t' suppose that humanity has reached the limit of it's capacity for develop ing arts and sciences now at hand O. inventing new ones. As time goes or our knowledge increases very rapid Iy. Aviation is an art scarcely fir. teen years old though it's longei than that since the first flight va. made.
 We cannot cease 10 wonder at tho strides that we arc making and hope that wo may continue 10 make them

SCHOOL SITES FOR ~iLi

I'll, city has seen. recently. inc abandonment Of two school sites and will shortly witness that of ano'n'r. two properties being offered for sal". It Is trne that one of th" schools. rba old Turr;'t hunaing. is heinz ug,I temporarily again this faU. but inc rlart and tho site must go b'- fore thc march o@ progress i" o'r- cation. HcH schools ,rc sprlneinE mp 10 raka the place Of ike old ones and furnish additional facilities for tfo oducarine Of our ircroaain9 number ot youngsters. Winch is all as ii should bo.
 The school board as 2 real cs'a'" aaenry. finds that il can shortly dis pose Of two sites. rno plaat and pro- rrrty Of tho Lincoln tr.et school and tho plant and property of 'ho Mon roc school In all probability 'h" old TnJrri't school will ha on tha market before very long. though some Of t@o rooms are being used at present. , The realization on thnse properties may help somewhat in revenue for thc board The land must have ap- rrocia,rI in value since the schools were built 'hoUeh tGe huiIltees ar" rresumab}y worthless for any pur- pose.
 Tho education problem, prr'ic"- lariy that part of i, which concerns the housing Of students. is veishty one indeed for the tax-payer to con- sidor. We believe tha number of tax payers who would scn education etInted for the benefit of their pocEotbooks is few.

Members Of the school board probably "Eicw the sl'- nation with alarm" a. well as inc citizen. But thoy must look 10 the education of youth as well as fi- nances and have the former nood uppermo-t in their minds Now that some of cur older buildings are ho- coming obsolete the strain is in creased by replacement as well as the need TOT additional accommoda- tions.
 The only choice which the schoo board has is to supply the eiuca. tional needs os tho city !u as .flicicn manner as possible, watching tha' there is full return for the money expended, for teachers salaries an( in new schools. And the only choice which the taxpayer has is to griI and bear ii.

COMNiUNICATED
\ POINTER FOR THE BOARD OF
 PIPIIC WORKS

Editor of the New Britain Herald: Dear Sir;
 After reading inc report of the committee on the South Main street pavement I would very much ap~ prociate the privilege of calling the attention Of the First Ward member , of the council 10 matter of as , much importance,
 On the corner of Rentschler street and k"nsineton avenue, the board ! of public works has seen fit to make an exceptionally big curve, in fact tho roadway at this point is about 6h feet rido. Just this side at the { corner Of Andrew street Opposite Engine House No. @, where the curve in the street is considera bly, l greater and tra fife very much heav- fer, 2 catch basin had been installed recently. IL appears that said road way from curb 10 curb is now hut v feet wide and there is sufficient space l believe to incrca SC the width at least ten feet. This would aid the fire department in responding 10 n alarm and also allow traffic 10 pass.
 r. is exceedingly strange that this condition exists. as a member of l the said board is a resident of this section and passes this point three or four times d day.
 1 ! am very much surprised al the high handed manner in which the hoard of public works is acting. and I hope something may be done in order that said board does not fol- low th" zonirC committee failure some two years ago.
 ! do moi wish this communication tc be taken aS q reflection on our engineering force: as il would in yolye much detail and. time
 May I also state that firmly ha- lieve tna- tln time is coming wr~n all good rifizcns. republicans. d'''- ocrats. etc.. will band tcro'hcr s"' .1rnycnt the needless cNnrNI 'ur"e rr moneys and roduc0 tho t:.F rot ! rail to ero just nhy n1ch v,r" %" gre warned t'rt m incrnas" Of t'-''e i. 10 ho ",Noct"d.

Ones first reaction on reading an item from Kentucky aueut three men being killed because one man kicked another's dog is either that the men were pitifulIy ignorant or drcadfully uncivilized. On reflection however, is it not possible 10 think Of wars that have been waged and whole countries devastated over iseues really more trivial 10 the in- dividuals involved than that?
