country than could field situated on lower ground.
 With alrplanes now available for only little over S20O0. efforts con tiuually going on to make them safer and easier to control, and plenty of in- struetors at air centers, the future for aviation is bright. At Hartford there IS an aviation company of the Con neeticut National Guard, and several army planes are stationed at Brainard Field. Putnam men who were recently at Camp Trumbull had an opportunity to witness their practicality. and the ease and apparent safety with which they are handled by experienced pilots.
 Consequently citizens who see the part that aviation will likely play in the future of this section. as well IS other parts, are anxious that Putnam should as soon as possible take steps toward getting a municipal airdrome. Other communities in the county are contemplating such a step, two are confident of possessing the first reeog- nized aviation field in Windham cOun- ty. When commercial aviation reach es a more important place than at present, 1t Is reasonable that the gov erument will desire federal air sta tions at frequent intervals Such a base would be valuable to any city. and would most likely be established at a point where the municipality was al- ready taking an interest in aviation. Civic provision for a local airport in the near future would be q move to- ward Putnam's prosperity.

Hack enthorp has been in this work for only a month and t would not be wise C ask him to go now in two and a halt mile race. but he certainly holds pro mise for later date. He was breez ed Tuesday morning on the flat and went a mile in l.5i which is not bad for a big horse that has spent his en tire career in the show ring.

AKRON, July 1.-The General Tire

smaller producers, reports it's business
has grown so it finds difficulty in
mastering sufficient working capital
to handle the output.
NEW ORLEANS.-Rosin and tur-
pentine have developed additional
weakness due to the large crop and
early movement. Turpentine has de-
clined cents a gallon in a week and
resins have lost so points for the best
grades. Prices are so per cent under

whether the mill equipment and ma
chinery of some factories is an asset
any longer, or whether it has become
a liability.
During the war the increase in pro-
ductive capacity struck New Eng
land mills as it did nearly every
other industry. With the concurrent
expansion in the South, the industry
was built up to a degree far beyond
the requirements for goods.
This same condition, it is asserted
by New England textile engineers, has
been paralleled in the wool industry.
Since the war consumption or woolen
cloth in this country has declined Is
per cent, while spindleage and loom
age in the industry is about IL per
cent higher than it was in 1919.
In the cotton industry the f1ttest
are surviving, and in the long run
it is believed that the stronger COM
panies will benefit from the ironing
out of the situation as 1t now exists.
The overbuilding Of the wooden plants
is held directly responsible for the
recent passing of the preferred dlVl-
dend by the largest factor in the wool
en- trade. The huge chain of mills
owned by this company cannot all be
operated at high rate of production.
This makes costs mount RESPONSIBILITIES
Nv. The company's mills now are as
serted to be running at general aver
age of so per cent capacity. Eighty
per cent of capacity operation, 1t is
asserted, would show a profit.
Style Changes Factors.
Engineers say also that the dif1cul'
ties Of the company are due to changes
i'm style, to failure to anticipate and
provide for changes in style. and to
determination to stick to the old stable
fabrics which formed the main basis
of profits in the past, such as blue
serge.
Some talk is being heard Of aban-
donment of the smaller plants by some
of the textile companies. About 10
per cent of capacity in one instance
has thus been eliminated, but the
trend has not become general.
The willingness of some stockhold'
ers to have textile companies liquidate
is often found in the fact that such
liquidation means a profit to the
shareholders. Many of the mills have
accumulated resources over period
of years which are sufficient to pay
all debts and leave a balance in ex-
cess of the amount the stock would
sell for.
The extent of the overcapacity is

Il nisnatcb AZ T'ha Ctar


NEW YORK, July 1.-The number
of cotton spindles in New England
has been reduced 10 per cent in the
last four years. but productive capac.
ity, in the opinion of MANY textile
men, still is excessive. The same crit
icism applies to the manufacture OF
woolens, long denominated as one of
Americas "sick'' industries.
In 1923 there were 1901 SCI spin.
dies in place in New England. Today
the total has dropped to 17,136.S94,
and the reduction still continues. Over
half the shrinkage has taken place in
the last year. In the recent past two
more New England mills have voted
to liquidate. These have an aggre-
gate spindleage Of 461 900, and are
not included in the total given above.
Other mills which have voted to quit
had over 800 spindles.
More to Move South.
In addition, some $4,000 spindles
are to be moved South, and four other
mills are now debating as to whether
they will follow the same course.
Their spindleage aggregates 100000.
Other mills which have been closed,
but which may reopen If conditions
become more favorable to the New
England textile industry, normally
operate $50, 900 spindles.
The increase in the sales OF cotton
cloth so far this year has been eX-
traordinary, according to the Asso-
citation of Cotton Textile Manufac-
turers of New York. Despite this
fact. the capacity of the plants is eX-
cessive. Moreover, much of the
equipment is antiquated. 1t has be-
