competent man, in the opinion of
Major Calvin Goddard. New York
expert on balliStics, who was called
here in connection with the inquest
into the gangland massacre of seven

This man should be familiar with
all types of small arms in common
use, with knowledge of calibers,
mechanisms and methods of manu-
facture," Major Goddard said. "He
should have a similar knowledge
of cartridges commonly used, bull
lets. primers. powders and such.
"He should be skilled on the use
of the microscope, particularly the
comparison microscope and other
instruments of precision in examin-
ing exhibits. He should be skilled
also in the science of photography
ITO make his work of value such

BRIDGEPORT AIR

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, May 81
Bridgeport is fast assuming a leading
position as an aviation center. The
Bridgeport airport. opened for flying
on November II, 1928. has proved a
tremendous asset in attracting air
plane manufacturers and manufac.
turers of allied lines to Bridgeport.
Bridgeport's airmindedness has been
more and more apparent the last few
years, >and this was stimulated by
the visit here in May. 1927, Of Major
Herbert A. Dargue, commander of
the Pan American goodwill flight.
A committee appointed by the
president Of the chamber of COM
merce in 1927 Investigated the desira.
bility of an airport for Bridgeport,
it's most appropriate location, and
the approximate cost, and after an
extensive survey submitted a report
favoring the establishment and rec
ommending the Lordship Meadows
as site.
Shortly afterward members Of this
committee were the leaders who
formed a private corporation, Bridge
port Airport, Inc, and announced
the acquisition of $50 acres on the
Lordship Meadows, with right of way
to the Housatonic River mouth, thus
making available a sito for both sea
and land planes.
A seapIane canal. 1000 feet by $50
feet has been dug from the Housa.
tonic River, the fill from the canal
being used for constructing the rum
ways on the main flying field. The
airport Is situated between two inn
proved roads and the mouth OF the
Housatonic River, within three and
one-half miles from the Bridgeport
railroad station.
The Curtiss Flying Service Is man
aging the field, which was opened
for flying operations on November II j,

Many, indeed. were absurd and

when the daily paper is not at hand

According to this expert among
the best Of these, perhaps, are the
proverbs that have ito do with the
color of the sky and the appear

the stars, for all are affected by
the state. of the atmosphere.
Sun Fables
"Any modified appearance of the
sun is most conspicuous when it is
near the horizon" the expert said.
Hence, there are many weather
proverbs about the sun at morning
and evening. When the air is heav.
tiy charged with dust particles laden
with moisture we see the sun as a
fiery red ball. and predict rain, in
such proverbs as "a red sun has
water in his eye or If red, the sun
begins his race, be sure the rain will
fall apace.'
THE red sun implies a humid at
mosphere, a condition sential and
favorable to the occurrence of rain.
''On the other hand, a red eve
ming sky usually means that the
air contains very little moisture
and that RI in within the next "a
hours is improbable.
when the evening sky is over
cast with uniform gray the dust
particles in the atmosphere have
evidently become loaded with much
moisture giving rise to the proverb.
If the sunset is gray. the next day
will be a rainy day.
"A gray morning sky, however,
