By the Associated Press.
The pendulum of official gossip has
paused. temporarily at least. upon the
subject Of commercial air develop
ment, and aerial transportation prof.
ects, once regarded as idle day
dreams. are now being discussed seri-
ously in governmental air circles.
The impetus given this means of
commercial travel by the transoceanic
flights of Lindbergh and Chamberlin
and the prospective flight of Comdr.
Byrd has brought the subject forci-
bly, into the foreground, and there
are indications that 1t will be seized
upon by Congress when 1t returns to
Capitol Hill next Winter.
Air travel. heretofore regarded
chiefly as a new field for combat In
warfare, now is looked upon by Off
Gals as holding forth a highway for
commerce that soon may link not
only distant points Of the United
States, but also this country with
foreign nations. especially its sister
republics to the south.
Three Lines Proposed.
In this connection. Assistant Score.
tary MacCracken, in charge OF air
activities in the Commerce Depart
ment. disclosed yesterday that three
proposed transportation lines with
Latin America had been discussed
and that several nonstop flights to
neighboring countries had been sug-
gested.
Since Lindbergh's Spirit Of st.
Louis winged it's ways across the At
lantic, officials have dug out Of dusty
shelves a number of voluminous re.
ports on commercial aviation that
were forgotten almost as soon as pre-
pared, and some little establishment
has been displayed at the rapid devel.
opment that the Post Office Depart
ment, father Of the air mail system.
has made in this line.

COMET CLOSEST
TO EARTH TONIGHT
viii Be Visible Almost Di-
rectIy Overhead if Atmos-
phere Is Clear.

The gods of atmosphere being will.
ing, the Pons-W innecke comet, whirl-
ing through constellation after con-
stellation 100000 miles from the
earth, will he visible to the naked eye
at midnight tonight, at which time it
will appear east by south Of Vega,
the bright star which will have
swung westward after passing almost
directly overhead.
Rising out of the eastern sky the
comet will be visible as family
illuminated patch Of haze shortly after
10 o'clock tonight. AS 1t rises higher
in the heavens, however. its fan
shaped tail Of gases might be dis
cernible from the nucleus, though
without the aid of binoculars. or
even opera glasses, 1t Is unlikely that
the comets detail can be studied by
lay sky gazers.
Seen Briefly Last Night.
At IL o'clock last night, in a brief
break in the gathering haze that par
TALLY obscured the skies. the comet
was very family seen in the Del.
phinus constellation, popularity known
as Jobs Coffin, slightly north and
considerably east Of Altaire.
It is unlikely that many Washing
ton amateur observers saw the comet,
however, because Of their uncertainty
as to it's location. It was not bright
enough to attract attention to itself.
Seen through the big telescope at the
Naval Observatory. the phenomenon
appeared Just east of Jobs Coffin.
The brilliant center was slightly haZy
while the fan tail Of Illuminated gases
cutting out sharply against the
darker sky trailed after the rapidly
moving body.
One of Smaller Comets.
Naval Observatory astronomers last
night declared that the Pons-Win-
necke comet Is not comparably in size
to the HALEY comet, which attracted
so much attention In 1910. 1t Is one
of the smaller comets that was first
seen in 1919 at Marseilles, France, by
an astronomer named Pons. Follow.
ing its initial sighting the body was
lost until 1853, when 1t was again
picked out by the German. Winnecke.
It has been sighted at six-year in
tervals since it's second discovery,
but never before has it been visible to
the naked eye. An observer at
Yerkes Observatory first sighted 1t
this year on March 9. 1t has been
declared by some observers that a
shower Of meteors may accompany
the comet tomorrow night when 1t
comes nearest the earth In Its wan.
dering way. These, Naval observers
here said last night, should be visible
to the unaided eye also.

NEW FURNITURE IN &
SHERIFF'S OFFICE
New Lights Are Installed
in Clerks Office

The appearance of the interior
of the sheriff's office has been
completely changed this week,
with the arrival and installation OF
the metal desks and filing cabinets
to replace the well-worn wooden
furniture A high and wide metal
counter has also been installed,
extending from the front door TO
the Jail side of the office, with
swinging gate for the admission
and discharge of prisoners. This
counter gives the sheriff and his
assistants semi-privacy. with all of
the office staff back of the counter.
Heretofore the office was a public
place and anybody entering the
front door was at once at the desks
of the sheriff and others, with no,
even a railing as a separation.
This often led to considerable con-
fusion and inconvenience. The fur
niture was ordered long time ago,
but has just arrived.
An Atlantic City electrical con-
tractor has been busy during the
past week installing so new lights
in the county clerks office, In
order that the numerous county
employees and those working for
the title companies can have the
best of light for the close inspec-
ton of the records, which was
trying on the eyes with the ole
lights.

Towns on Hill Tops

Nearly all of the towns in Wind ham County are located on the hill tops. Hampton, Lebanon Windham, Brooklyn, killtngly. Woodstock, and We are told the reason for this was to assure greater safety from the ever approaching Indian.

 Woodstock was settled in l6s6 Windham in l6s9, Plainfeld in TOO pomfret and Canterbury in lf03. Xii. lingly and Mansfield in l70S
 Disputes over boundaries caused no end of trouble This reminds me of the matter of choosing home lots by the Woodstock Colony, how they agreed that in the drawing of lots. they would not murmur, but take whatever lot they drew with thankful hearts
 The second difficult task was the raising of a church and establishing a minister In remote settlement, with little money, each family contributed material and labor for the church.
