SPEAKING OF AIRPORTS

While there is still talk in town as to the pros and cons of an airport the suggestion is hereby made that an endeayor be made to discover the intrinsic and potential value of air. ports to such cities in the state as have them-with the exception, of course, of such notably airmnded and arindustrialized cities as Hartford.
 Such survey, no doubt, would leave much to be desired. In the first place, aviation perhaps has not ad- vanced sufficiently to make of every airport a beehive of industry, all though the big airports must look quite astir sometimes. It is not these, but the smaller airports, which need the survey to show how they are do- Ing, and how they are helping to put the town on the map. Many of these towns are much smaller than New Britain.
 So far as New Britain is con- cerned, We have no doubt it will ob- tain it's airport some day. The first ten years of augmentation will be the hardest. We are amazingly con- | servative in some things, and are somewhat noted for not taking any blind leaps in the dark. That is why a survey of other small city airports might be an eye-opener and spur us on to renewed efforts.
 Meanwhile these is something to be said in favor of'Waterbury, speak a la airport. Waterbury, for the once ahead of New Britain, is build ing an airport on Mt. Tobe, and to insure practical service to factory ex- | ecutives an air service is being plan- ned between that city and Albany, enabling travellers to leave Water ! bury by air and connecting them with night trains for the West at Albany; while in the morning, the service would be vice versa. Such a system will enable Waterburians to avoid travelling by train to Spring field or New York in order to con- meet with Westbound trains, or to return via those cities when return ing from the West
 Such q service is one of high val lie, and would be applicable to New Britain industrialists as well.
 The Mt. Tobe field, by the way, will be partly ready this fall, but all of 1t will not be ready for planes un- till next June. It is regrettable to see Waterbury in advance of New Brit ain in aviation; but we at least be- gan talking about possessing an air port before Waterbury thought of it, The only trouble is, we are still talking,

USE MODERN METHODS,
 RAISE POTATO YIELD
New Jersey State Farm Obtains 800 Bushels an Acre Instead of
 150 Bushels.

Trenton, N. J.. Aug. 20 P-Use of modern methods of irregation result ed in the production of more than 500 bushels of potatoes per acre, farmed at the Home for Feeble Minded Women. Vineland, W. A. Houston, state farm supervisor, de- partment of institutions and agen- cies, announced today.
 Houston stated the production was regarded as remarkable in view of the fact the average number of bush els raised per acre in the Vineland area was between 125 and 150. He also pointed out the average pro- duction in Monmouth county, where the land is adapted to potato grow ing, was around 300 bushels per acre.
 Houston added that the irrigation system had been installed at mod crate expense to the state, and the amount invested was more than saved during the first year of oper- ation.

TAX RATE PROMISES

It will be noticed that almost every aspirant for mayor lets it be known that one Of his chief blanks for consideration is the promise that he will reduce the tax rate. They own to various ways of bringing that about, but on the whole such promises are "old stuff" They are quite passe. It is surprising that any body takes cognizance of such prom ises. They have been the staff of political life since candidates began running for office, or since candi- dates began to aspire for nomina- tions.
 It is as easy to make such prom ise as to roll off the proverbial log.
 The city has certain needs and they must be met, and they usually cost money. No candidate is at pains to declare that he will neglect the legitimate needs of the city; which is by way of saying that an improve ment that is really needed will not be overlooked. But find such an im- provement that doesn't cost money, or which lacks an influence on the tax rate. Most of them have dis tressing influence upon the rate.
 There are many citizens, too, who judge an administration more by what it does than by what it Saves" There is nothing more de- rvastating to be said against an ad- ministration than to let it get the reputation of being a "do-nothing administration" Nine times oAt of ten such lack of activity merely must be added to the normal activities of the administration that follows. That is one of the troubles today-the city is still faced with problems that should have been solved long ago.
 The mayoralty aspirants as rule let the public think they could do something substantial to reducd school costs. When in office they dis cover that very little about the school plants is under their iurisdic- tion; that the board Of education has the right to construct elementary schools where needed and that the city pays the cost This is as the people want 1t. Experience has shown rather conclusively that 1t is 6 bad condition when school needs are subject to the iniosyncrasies ot politics. The state eliminated this possibility long ago by divorcing the school boards from the general run of local political influences. II is posslbte to rave about the ratio ot school expense to other civic costs but investigations invariably show that the same ratio exists almost everywhere and for the simple req. son that the public school system fundamentally is expensive. But tn, people want a good public schoo system with sufficient modern build. ings. Just now there is need for en. largements, improvements and pos sibIy new buildings in New Britain and we have the characteristic spec. tacle of men demanding such i'm

 A. The custom of the "wake" originated in Ireland, but the time of it's origin is lost in the obscurity of the past. It is parallel to many practices among primitive people of sitting up with the corpse to pre- vent his soul from proving around the homes of the survivors. It was found to relieve the tension of relatives and friends in their dis tress over his death. Another theory is that people sat up with the corpse until burial to keep the rats, which were abundant, away from the body. There is an old popular tradition in Ireland that St. Patrick, just before his death, asked his friends not to mourn but to re- joice, and the better to do this they were each to have liquor to drink to make them happy.
