ing over land the aNiators have better chance to survive in case of engine trouble or victory for the weather. The fact that so many of the ayiators choose 10 fly over Wa ters indicates they let the daredevil spirit wi.iain them prefer this spe- cies of stunt flying.
 We already know considerable abou, the 'progress Of aviaiion." Airplanes are practicable and their services are being utilized daily-for land flights. The transatlantic air mail is being operated daily and ex- press is being carried in planes. Progress in ocean flying depends more upon getting over while no storm or fog is encountered than upon the skill of the av!ators or the advanced character of the planes. We know enough 10 realize that fur ther progress depends more upon the development of apparatus 10 guide airmen through foss, and 10 enable them to dodge storms, than it docs upon stunt flying. And stunt is all the recent attempts have real ly been; done for the sake of pub licity to lure fame. and to adver- tise airplane motors. We can well afford to have less of it.

WHEN THE LAWN MOWERS
 PUT AWAY
tCOntributcd)

The summer day are mostly o'er and for this I'll shout Hurrah, Soon I'll lose my weekly job of making front-yard hay. The grass that's grown all summer and has made the mower sing, will shortly say Good night, old chap, I'll see you in the spring." The mower, too. will take rest. again accept my thanks. No more I'll shove the squeaky thing till I'm wobbly on my shanks. I've pushed so much this pesky mower, to keep the lawn trimmed neat. that my spine is twisted out of shape and I've blis- ters on my feet. While other men on Saturdays could 20 for q week end spin, I've had to toll in 2 scOrching sun till the dew ran off my chin. I've trampled up and down the lawn from three till almost nine, and have felt just like q cod fish that has soaked too long in brine. So when I think of the frosty days that's just lap ahead, and the mower gathering cobwehs in a cor ner in the shed, it's clacking voice as silent as pepper stuffed with ham, it won't be hard to tell the world

AIRPORT IN \ PARK

The city Of New Haven has en- joyed a spirited discussion relative to the site for an airport, eager air minded individuals desiring 1t 10 be in a city park on the east side of the harbor. Professor Woolsey of Yale, a member of the park com mission, has yehemently protested. It appears that the professor has won his point-that flying fields for .dhe benefit of a few should not be situated on public park property. which exists for the benefit of the many.
 New Haven, like most other cities, wants an airport; but neither New Haven nor any other city should all low park property to be used for such purpose. IL would be bad precedent for other Connecticut cities if New Haven allowed the usc of a public park for such d purpose.

HAGEN N0W LEADS
 BY SIX STROKES
Shoots Record Round of 67 in
 Western Open Tourney

Chicago, Sept 10 P>-The prob icm of stopping Walter Hagen from winning his fourth western open golf championship was puzzling 69 other golfers at Olympia fields to- day.
 For Hagen by virtue of a record round of 67 on No. 1 course yester- day. and a par score Of 70 10 the first day on No. 4, had a lead of six strokes over the other competitors, who had 10 score 154 or better to stay in the contest, knew Sir Wal ter's reputation for steadiness.
 While the remaining two rounds today were 10 be played on the fourth course where The Haig" had done no better than par in this tour namont. records were extant that he had set the record Of 67 for that links only two years ago in de- fating William Mehlhorn in the finals for the professional cham pionship.
 The nearest chaser Hagen has was Eddie Held of St, Louis. formerly public links and trans Mississippi champion and runner-up in the re- cent western amateur. Held had broken the record on No. course with G9. just before Hagen took two more strokes off with his 67, five be- low par. That the course is difficult is proved by the fact that during II years Of it's existence 70 never before had been broken.
 Another amateur. Chick Evans, formerly national amateur and open champion, had a chance to be only one stroke behind Hagen, but he missed four puts that tyro could sink and through bad kicks had two tee shots out of bounds over a bluff on the 18th hole of No. 4. With these six wasted shots. he scored a Il for total of IA, tying for third place with Tommy Armour of Washing ton, national and Canadian open champion. Bill Mehlhorn, formerly western titleholder. and Frank Walsh of Appleton, Wis.
 Frank Kennett of Kalamazoo was iitAI NItll fo, "Illlt VI aug WI ol Long Branch, N. J., Harry Cooper of Los Angeles. and Mike Patten and Harry Hampton of Memphis had 146.
 In the 147th list, 10 strokes be- hind Hagen, were Gene Sarazen. Leo Diegel. Al Espinosa, Laurie Ayton, Leonard Schmutte and Doc Treacy. Two renowned players. Mac Donald Smith and Al Watrous, had 14S each, while Bob Macdonald and Johnny Farrell had 149 and Mike Brady and Eddie Loos had 150.
 Hagen won the title last year at Highland club, Indianapolis, with 279 and holds the record score for the event with PTS made at Oakwood club, Cleveland. in 1921.

It would appear that getting to Narragansett over the New Haven railroad is like taking a trip to the moon. The Rhode Island city is wildly agitated over the train serv- ice, and the railroad is charged with concentrating on through service at the expense of cities en route. We have been wondering whether Mar ragansett Is the only city with this sort of grievance.

ONE MORE NEW ROAD

The new state highway which goes into service between Bristol and Pennington today is expected to be of some importance to the former city in that it will make travel be. tween there and Hartford easier; the distance, in addition. is shortened two miles.
 But 1t still will take longer for a Bristolite to reach Hartford than to reach New Britain. Travel between Bristol and Hartford heretofore has not passed through New Britain, ey- cept when drivers desired to reach this city; but they did pass through Ilainvllle. Hereafter it will not be necessary for through travel 10 20 through Plainville, as the new road joins the Plainyille-F Pennington state highway about a mile below Farm inston center, This system will help slightly to solve Plainville's traffic troubles but may not please the merchants selling delicacies.
 The new shortcut highway is new in more respects than one-it is not entirely an improved road but is newly built, cutting across farm- lands in the interest of direct tray el Although the general route of the old Hartford-LitchfieId road is followed, this is done only in a gen. eral way, many Of the curves of the old road being eliminated. The ex- cavation of earth and rock at the New Haven railroad crossing, so as 10 provide q bridge and avoid grade crossing, evidently was one Of the most important jobs of the Kind done by the state hiehvav de- partment this year. Particularly sat istactory Is 1t 10 learn that there grade crossings have been eIimina- ted. The day when new hichwavs were constructed but grade cross Iass were allowed to remain happily is past.
 That inc new highway will con- time beyond Bristol is practically certain, The idea is to continue in one direction to Waterbury and in another 10 Terryville. Such q high Way would give a moro direct out I@t to travel from Hartford to the southwestern part of the state and would tend 10 subtract traffic from the present popular routes.

 What are the circumstances, any way? Because a few Of the boys get wild once in q while is no reason to bespatter all the remainder with disrapute.
 Will Hays, it is related, after be ing importuned by John Gray Hib- ben, "prrsident Of an association of college professors has agreed to employ 100 grads annually in the moving picture industry, this being done through state scholarships. The college professors, it is said, have
 an idea that there are "too many roughnecks" in the show business
 and will endeayor to introduce a i new element.
 The moving picture industry, 1t might be added, has been largely developed by the so-callcd rough necks," fellows with more enterprise than education.
 The same pressure 10 induce er- ployment of graduates has been cx- erted upon General Electric, the Standard Oil, United States Steel, General Motors, and others, 1t is said. The college professors evident ly want flair shake" and feel they haven't been getting it.
 One of the difficulties that educa- tional authorities have been faced with Is the employment Of the army Of graduates annually. We have nev- CT been able 10 discover where the graduates of the numerous schools of journalism go to after they grad uate. Years ago an educator told us, wait until the journalism schools get their graduates running the newspapers, and they will be i'm proved immensely" After 15 years of waiting we are forced 10 admit there has been no particular change; the grads don't seem to have upset the apple cart.
 However, something has to be done about the grads. The situation would be vastly simplified, accord ing to industrial magnates we have spoken to, if the boys were willing to start their uplifting influence somewhere near the bottom.

STUNT FLYING FAILS TO AID AVIATION

This is on time to talk of putting a stop to long over-wa- ter or otherwise dangerous, air journeys. Where there is lack of preparation or reckless risk, yes. ..

In a short time the air activities Of 1927 will be dis continued for the most part and new plans formulated for next summer. Will the failures of the past several months oycrbalance the achievements in aviation over the same period Of time?
