METROPOLITAN DISTRICT
 HAS 15o,ooo POPULATION
Proposed Trading Zone Would Take In Suburban Territory For Miles Around

That the creation of a metropoli- tan district for New Britain, which would more clearly define the local shopping district or trading center, would be of value is the opinion of Secretary Ralph H. Benson of the Chamber of Commerce. The creation of such a district is approved by the toard of directors of the Chamber and last Monday the board author izcd the appointment of a commit tee to secure data. The committee las not been appointed.
 There is some overlapping on these metropolitan areas. according to Mir. Benson. and while New Brit ain, according to the U. $. census bureau, would be included in the Hartford metropolitan area. this city has the same right to include in its area its entire suburban ter ritory.
 Although no figures or statistics are available, records of the credit bureau of the Chamber of Com- merce. indicate that New Britain's metropolitan district extends as far as Terryville. and includes Bristol, l'orestville. Plainville, Southington, Cheshire, Milldale, Berin. East Ber- in. Kensington, Newington this side of Newington Center and part of Pennington.
 It is felt the creation of such district would give New Britain a metropolitan population of about 10000 people.

 "Joinezs' Were Numerous
 New Britain had it's 'joiners" too. Some men held membership in so many lodges they were never able to enumerate them accurately with out using a pad and pencil They never refused anyone, it seemed, and their brothers" were numbered by the thousands. True, a great many such members never were active in the work of any organization, their interest being hardly more than passive. but there were others who were willing 10 devote practically every moment of their spare time to the furtherance of the aims of some society or other, while still cthers were partial to one organiza- tion and worked necessarily in it and for it, although they remained in good standing in several.
 Brothers" who held office fin three or four societies were not un- common, according to those who re- call the history and accomplish ments of the local fraternities de- spite the great demands resulting from such activity. Attendance at meetings two or three evenings a week. with committee meetings sandwiched in and trip to near by city on Sunday to install officers Or iron out some difference or other between factions comprised the rou- tine of these men. In many in- stances, there was no thought of remuneration beyond that contained in trip to national convention, and 1t frequently happened that the officers who worked hardest and were actually the most faithful and sincere in the performance of their duties found themselves the victims of misunderstanding or jealousy when they attempted to advance be- yond the ordinary posts. Many men who, had they devoted the time and energy given to lodges. to some other line of endeavor, would have been highly successful and financial 1y comfortable, lived to know the bitterness of friendships misplaced and confidences violated.
 Lodges Lose Their Ialrc
 The lodges and fraternities of the present time, however, are not as capable of attracting and holding the interest of the members as were those of the period described, all though it is entirely probable that the sum total of names on the var. GUS rosters far exceeds that of the earlier period, as 1t should because of the greater number of residents who are, eligible for membership. Few charter members are alive and their places have been filled by sons and the sons of their sons, but the active interest and the seif-sac- rificing endeavors of the old mem- bers are missing. True, there are members who love to work on com mittees and as officers, but the packed meetings are gone, and al though there is an occasional furry when q debated issue comes up, the fiery clashes Of the leading rarlia- mentarians no longer hold the par tisans spelibound or stir them to cheers and applause.

hundreds to aviation, from selfish business reasons, or the conviction that certain of these planes still were capable of service, it was the sense of the conference that the de- partment should take no action limi- ting their use beyond requiring that they meet the necessary standard of airworthiness.
 Stricter Requirements
 On the other hand. it is regarded as certain that stricter requirements will be established in the matters of pilot licensing and. plane inspection, as we'll as more rigorous enforce ment of the air traffic code which. some charge. is being violated or ignored in many of it's most im- portant provisions by certain oper- ators of private fields. The code, simple and remarkably terse. is re- garded as calling for absolute obedi- cnce, particularly In the face of the growing number of planes in the air. and it is certain that the Bureau of Aeronautics will proceed reason- ably but firmly in seeing that it is enforced.
 One of the particularly significant notes of the gathering was that a large majority of the leaders in avi- tion circles are definitely behind the department, being fully convinced of the soundness of it's judgments.
 Confident and full of fervor fo, the airplane, the industry approach es the next step in it's development with the firmly implanted idea that 1t has splendidly practical com ,nodity to sell and one that will sell if the market is approached pro- perly.

WOMEN LEAD AS
 MAGAZINE BUYERS
Ttdir Choice BdiS Myth Thsy
 Love to ''Cad About"

Women read more magazines than cording to one of New Britain's largest dealers in periodicals. And women, in spite of the fact that many people say that they love to "gad about, favor the home type of magazine above all others. This type is a big favorite with it's house. hold hints, recipes, fashions and feminine portion of the population.
 The love story and sentimental type of magazine is a big seller. but the younger feminine element, the "flappers" favor that more than do others. Once in a while an older woman will purchase one of these magazines. but the dealer is of the opinion that such purchases are made more from curiosity than any, thing else. because repeats are not frequent.
 Humor magazines are excellent sellers and are recommended in cases of the blues. Many times, business men enter the dealers store, stating that they don't feel so good today" A popular humor magazine is sold to them and they report having been cheered up con- siderably, as result. Usually these men become regular customers for the particular periodical that cured their blues :,
 Science magazines are purchased exclusively by men. according to the dealer. He told of an instance where boy about 10 years Of age entered the shop and asked for a science magazine. stating that he was an invcterate reader of them and showing a remarkable under standing of matters dealt with in that type of publication. In fact. he appeared to be so well informed that the dealer was taken off his feet, according to his statement.
 Men who work in the factories or indoors are the largest purchasers Of the outdoor and western maga- zines. Through them they get the atmosphere they are denied in real life. Professional men go in heavily for the better class of literary pub lications, containing sketches of world events, stories and interviews.
 Professional and business men buy the financial magazines and the dealer stated that there has been an increased demand for them of late, many people doubtless follow ing the financial trends of. a presi- dential year. Surprising as it may seem, a number of women are listed among the readers of financial pub lications.
 Women also buy the radio maga- zines. They are among the best customers where the radio logs are concerned and they express through their conversation, great interest in the stations. comparing notes on their DIX records with as much en- thusiasm as do the men folks.
 Motion picture magazines are sold almost exclusively to women. al- though no wand then a school boy will make such a purchase. Men do not seem to be interested.
 The dealer handles about 250 diff fercnt magazines in his shop and he has a considerable demand for all of them, he says.
