SMOOT PREPARES

Chairman Smoot Of tho Senate

n cut of 500, 600 900. or $50 900 900

Under pressure from the White

of the automobile sales tax of per

House. are seen by Chairman Smoot
as two possible means of trimming
down the total reduction to somewhere
near the administration limit.
However Senator Smoot has no
definite program, and he says tho
Senate is in 4 mood to repeal the in
horitanCe tax. which would add to the
total reduction by about $1,000. 900 the
first year. The House. after fight
refused to eliminate the tax.

brother pilot. was killed in New
York the same day he and Arnold
had their accident In Toledo.
Major William Lenninger, with
whom he is associated in Toledo. ia
the man who trained Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh. Dixon and
Major Lenninger are developing the
Toledo municipal field, which is
expected to have number OF
hangers and two separate air COM
panies, one OF them a camera COM
pany. 1t is hoped to have a U. 8.
army squadron locate there also.
Little Danger In Flying
us there any danger in flying to-
day." Dixon was asked.
He replied as follows: The
Wright Aeronautical corporation
had one forced landing due to me-
chanical difficulties and two due to
poor gas connections out Of 1885,
600 miles of commercial flying. This
is one forced landing for approx
mately every 100000 flying miles.
due to mechanical defect. The two
due to broken gas connections could
be eliminated by extra gas leads
from the gas tank to the engine.
supplim entary oil connections also
should be installed. There should
be three Of each. thus eliminating
all danger Of trouble In this line"
That Lieutenant Dixon is skill
ed pilot Is attested to by a Herr i'd
reporter who one time went up
with him while he competed in a
stunt contest with eight other
planes, taking second prize in the
contest.
Lieutenant Dixon admires Col
onel Lindbergh's feat In his one
man flight to Europe. 1.-The public
misses the big thing about that
trip" he says ut wasn't the fact
that he flew to Europe. Pilots
know how far their planes can go.
The big thing that tried Charlie
Lindbergh's nerve was when he left
Newfoundland. that last sight Of
vanishing land on the coast of New
foundland. the realization that there
was before him an indefinite mo-
notonous flight. nothing to be seen
ahead for hours which seemed like
ages. nothing to be seen on any
side but the fading horizon and
nothing below but the Atlantic
Ocean. ..... ....
THAT was the test that tried Lind
bergh. 1t is nothing to his discred-
it that he says he felt like turn
ing back. 1t wasn't the Ice on the
wings that bothered him. No man
alive could make that trip for tie
first time and not feel something
grip him as he saw the last vestige
of land fade out Of sight.
"Lindbergh knows now just how
Columbus must have felt"

GIRL GOVERNMENT
At NORMAL SCHOOL
Students Enact Own Laws at
Teachers Institution

To most Of the public, activities al
the New Britain State Normal school
have been a mystery and have re-
NAMED in that light for years. bu,
behind the portals of the magnifi-
cent structure there Is a beehive OF
activity. .-t.
Instead Of the usual method OF
controlling activities through facul-
ty direction. the schools associations
| are under the control OF a student
government; The faculty cooperates
in such manner as to best serve
the interests Of the school and the
individual student.
Like all good democratic govern
ments there are the executive, judi.
| cial and legislative branches. The
executive department consists Of the
president and vice-president who
are seniors elected by popular vote
fror various training divisions: the
secretary. elected from the junior
class: the chairman Of the house OF
representatives.. a senior elected by
members Of the house: the chairman
and vice-chairman Of the judicial
board and representatives Of two
student committees.
The house of representatives con-
sists OF 10 members OF the senior
class, ~ members OF the junior class,
the dean. and three other faculty
members. The house works in con.
junction with the conference COM
mittee composed Of the principal OF
the school and the members OF the
faculty. Measures passed by the
house are submitted to the confer
ence committee for approval or re-
lection. Thus far the committee has
never. found It necessary to reject
any measures proposed by the house.
The third branch. the judicial de.
partment. consists Of the chairman,
vice-chairman, the dean. and one
member from each training group
OF students.
Some Of the many activities plan
ned by the students are the art club,
the glee club and athletic associ-
alton. Others are under the direc-
ton OF the library committee. the
committees on assemblies, and the
lunch room committees.
OF greatest interest Is the work
done by the lunch room committee.
1t aids the caterer in planning new
menus. In securing the names and
recipes for the girls and faculty's
favorite dishes. and in facilitating
order and ease Of service in the
lunch room.
The lunch room is conducted en-
tirely at the expense OF the school.
The state gives no financial support.
So we'll Is it managed that 1t is self
supporting. the service of four WON.
en- and the entire equipment being
paid for out of receipts Of the lunch
room.
The student may secure a whole
some. satisfying lunch. including
dessert. for e5 cents. The training
teachers from the schools close by
the Normal school. as well as the
Normal school students and visitors
TO the school. avail themselves OF
the opportunity presented by the
lunch room.

part OF the city government unas-
sisted. that Is. so far as important
matters were concerned. Men who
later became mayor have attracted
public attention as council -nem-
bers, while others have come and
gone with such little acclaim and
have displayed such slight degree
Of qualification for membership In
the body. that others who .erved
with them might be required to con
suit the Municipal Record before
being positive of their membership.
Men who serve on commissions
after having been In the council
are. as a rule. greatly changed in
their attitude towards the att :
body after a brief period as COM
missioners. The reason Is said % be
that while they are members Of the
council. they are SO far removed
from the workings Of the var US
departments In contrast to the
nearness which commissionerships
bring them. that they are inclined
to look with skepticism on major
recommendations. with the result
that in many instances their arsu-
ments are NOT as intelligent as they
would have been had they been IN

ed views.

dixon FIRST FLIER
TO CROSS EUROPE
New Britain Man Made Passage
in Three Hops

II is generally conceded that the
recent Atlantic flights have given
aviation tremendous boost ip the
United States. Credit comes to this
country for having the first aviators
to cross the ocean, but it is not
generally known that to New Brit
ain alone goes the credit for having
the first American aviator who ever
flew across Europe.
First Lieutenant Carl A. Dixon of
the 11sth Connecticut aviation
squadron. now connected with the
rev municipal air port at Toledo,
O., made famous flight from Lon
don to Cairo, Egypt, a distance Of
over $500 miles during the war.
Lieutenant Dixon then was with the
British Royal flying corps. 1t was
not nonstop flight, but was made
in three jumps. The longest flight
was from Tarento. Italy. to Athens.
Greece, during which Dixon stayed
in the air ~ hours and Is minutes.
Probably the greatest thrill of the
whole trip vas when he landed In
Greece. AS the ship settled down to
the Grecian airport near the kings
palace. both motors stopped dead
and investigation revealed the fact
that there was not drop of gas
in the tank Regardless of previous
plans forced landing would have
been necessary and had the engines
stopped in mid air, a crash would
. have resulted.
flying for 10 Years
During the 10 years he has been
flying planes, Dixon has flown 81
different types Of the 200 or more
makes of airplanes now in existance.
He has carried thousands Of passen-
gers and has flown almost half
million miles. OF the 81 different
makes Of airplanes he includes his
own private Hispano standard. He
has had several narrow escapes. In
Guiding one at Brainard field In
Hartford and one last Good Friday
when a ship load OF fireworks ex-
ploded while he and Corporal
Charles Arnold of Wethersfield
were In the air.
He has been as high as o6,2oo
feet over a town in France. nearly
five miles up. so high that he has
been able to see the entire south
coast OF England. He says 1T is
all bunk about the need Of an oxy-
gen tank over 5000 feet" stating
that he. climbed the 26,2o0 feet
without the aid of an oxygen tank.
This was in February. 1919. and
was done in a Bristol fighter With a
Rolls Royce engine.
He has flown In Europe, Asia.
Africa and all over the United
States. He usually does about IS
miles an hour with his own plane.
but has flown much faster. He has
owned his own ship for the past
three years.
Like many aviators Lieutenant
Dixon is supersttious. He had a
premonition OF disaster when he
went up on Good Friday. 1t Is a
common superstition among avia-
tors that bad luck always follows
flying on Good Friday or Easter. AS
proof OF this theory ne points out
that friend OF his. j. P. Anderson.
