love TO the exclusion OF all other ambi-
tons. One Of the few aces of the war
Who survived and remained in the SER
vice, he was an important part Of the
little nucleus from which sprang the
Army Air Corps of today.
The American people have always
followed their wars with a revulsion
against the machinery of war. Fol-
lowing the Civil War, the Army and
Navy were permitted almost TO disap-
pear. We had seen so much of them
in the four years Of that struggle that
the debt-burdened people felt that they
never wanted to see them again. New
interests claimed their attention. and 1t
was not until the guns of Santiago and
Manila awoke a new generation that
the country again realized the necessity
of armed protection From 1898 the
pendulum swung ever higher until 1t
reached the apex of its journey in the
titanic effort of 1917 and 1918.
Then came the inevitable revulsion.
The Air Service was the newest arm
of our defense. and 1t was understood
by few. The fact that We had thou
sands of some sort of planes somewhere
seemed TO be enough. To the unlni-
tiated. an airplane is an airplane. There
were disputes and delays and none OF
them helped TO build the kind Of air
force the country must have for its
needs. Most of the flyers who had
learned the new art of war in the air
had gone back to civil life, many OF
them with sincere resolves to continue
active in the Reserve-but the demands
of business and family do not tend to
leave a man much time for seemingly
needless and unpaid patriotism.

new MODEL HOME
READY IN AUTUMN
Jones Project in Stanley Quar-
ter Manor Progressing

With remarkable progress being
noted each week, the Jones model
home in Stanley Quarter Manor at
the close of operations this noon
gives a fair idea of what the struc-
ture. sponsored by many OF the city's
leading contractors, will look like
when completed.
Completion and formal inspection
is now calendered for the early days
OF September, and it is the belief of
the architect and builder, that the
job will be consummated by that
time.
Thousands of motorists have
caught a glimpse Of the dwelling of
old English adaptation as they have
driven past. and not a few have
pulled up in the shade of the elm
trees which are plentiful in this dis
trict, for closer examination of the
building. in its present rough stage,
it is impossible to gain an adequate
idea of the cool, comfortable and
homelike motif that has been worked
into the plan by the architect, and
which will be carried out in the sur
rounding plot by the landscape
artist.
The floor plan and the arrange
ment Of rooms show an understand
ing of the proper relationship Of the
various appointments Of model
home. Through an archway in the
living room sun porch is disclosed
The dining room is entered from the
living room and is readily accessible
to the kitchen through a buffers
pantry. Closet space and a pantry
are added features of the first floor.
On the second floor is a master
chamber with a window seat In an
alcove. fianked by two sizeable
closets. Two chambers and the
main bath are also located on this
floor, over which is a spacious attic.
The model home is located on the
main highway to Hartford in the
Stanley Quarter Manor district. 1t
is but a stones throw from the A.
w. Stanley tract which has been
given to the city for park purposes
and on which is located the Cad
Stanley dwelling, some day to be an
historic shrine. 1t is also in close
proximity to Stanley Quarter park.

LOUIS BLERIOT.IS
NOW FAMED NAME
Three Noted Aviation Leaders
Have Had It

Paris. July IA LP--"The Three
Louis" is the name Frenchmen give
to the Bleriots the worlds most dis
tinguished aviation family.
Grandfather, father and son, all
named Louis, have devoted their
lives to the science Of flying. Louis
Bleriot. the father, was the first to
ing the feat in 1909. His son. Louis,
Jr., hopes to fly from the Azores to
New York this summer as the COM
panion Of Lucien Boussotrot. They
will fly in Bleriot hydroplane.
Grandfather Bleriot, although not a
pilot, is considered one Of the
pioneers of the aviation industry.
The second Bleriot. now So, is
the head of the company which
bears his name. He became a ce-
lebrity when he flew across the
English Channel July %, 1903.
Great Britain gave him a. prize of
$4,000 in recognition of his feat, the
most spectacular performance OF an
airplane up to that time.
When Col. Charles Lindbergh
landed in Paris. the first aviator he
asked to see was Louis Blerot.
Monsieur Bleriot, H., who saw the
tremendous development of air craft
Turing the year. believes that ar
mored air-cruisers are a certainty of
the future. They will be able to
carry heavy artillery and crews of
sufficient size to man the guns. he
thinks. He is also hopeful OF the
future of transoceanic passenger air
service. and his company is expert
menting with machines capable OF
making nonstop flights from one
hemisphere to the other with
score of passengers.

BISHOP MURRAY RETRACTS
Takes Back Charge That Maine
Governor Was Responsible for In
dian Reservation Bill Failure.

Portland, Me-. July II UP)-
Bishop John Gregory Murray of the
Roman Catholic diocese of Portland
today retracted in full his pre-pri-
mary election statement that Cover

council to pass the Passamaauoddy
Indian mission appropriation bill.
The impression that the governor
could have accorded the Indians the
$4,000 requested for rebuilding the.
Catholic mission destroyed by fire u
year ago was based upon an erron-

The retraction was contained in a
letter which the bishop mailed TO
the clergy of the diocese. The letter
will be read in all the Catholic
churches in the state.

"Electrics" Once Popular as

The changing times have put an
end to one custom which formerly
was popular in weather such as that

trolley cars. Before the automobile
became such common possession,
the Connecticut Co, reaped an an
nual harvest from heated city 'esi-
dents who sought refuge in the ar

family takes to the road in its own

suit, but losing much of the color
and sociabiity of former days.

crowds of persons seeking respite
from the iorridity of the city, would

and would soon be swarming aboard

with riding about the lines in the
city, taking them in turn and look

the poor mortals on the hot side
