Dr. Griswold Inclined to DisbcHeve Existence of Cases in Town-Lc- zion to Install Oniccrs-St. Paufs Whist TOnight-Berlin Notes.

The meeting today of Emma Hart Willard chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, was the first of d series of such meetings to be held during the year. The program for the year has been made out and is one of the most interesting yet planned by the D. A. +. The speak CTS include some of those most prominent in Connecticut and even national D. A. k. activities, among them Mrs. John Laidlaw Buel, state chairman of national defense; Mrs, Clarence H. Wickham, q state chair man; and Miss Katherine A. Nettle- ton, state regent The program, which began today, stretches over a. period of six months, eliminating in the war office of Governor Jona- than Trumbull, at Lebanon, where the annual meeting will be held next May.
 The program in full follows:
 November meeting - Mrs. John Laidlaw Buel, state chairman of na- tional defense committee, will speak.
 December-Annual Christmas tree prepared for the benefit of Ellis island. An address by the state chairman, Mrs. Clarence H. Wick ham, on Patriotic Education"
 January meeting at the home of Mrs. Mortimer l.. Rhodes; an ad- dress by the state regent, Miss kath- crime A. Nettleton.
 February 20-Musical evening at the home of Mrs. S. A. t'iske, with Mrs. William Haine in charge.
 March 13-Meeting at the home Of Mrs. J. C. Hodgson. Miss Ruth Galpin will read paper on Cover nor Jonathan Yrumbull.
 April - Annual luncheon, with short business meeting, luncheon to be In charge of Mrs. Bancroft, Miss Alta Judd, and Mrs. Phelps.
 May-Meeting to be held at Gov ernor Trumbulls war office in Le- banon. This will be the final meet ing of the year and reports of the Continental Congress will be read and election of officers will be held.
 NhoOp1nS cough Scare
 During the past several days ru- mors and counter rumors regarding the prevalence of whooping cough within the town have been flying about. This is the time of the year when such rumorS are apt to have the most foundation, but in this case there seems to be no basis, according to a qualified authority.
 pr. Matthew Griswold admitted today that there might be several cases in town. but they have not been reported if they do exist. There are several cases of Initiative bron- chitis, he admitted, which is similar to whooping cough in the respect that this throat irritation produces an explosive cough, but it is not whooping cough.
 Leg ion to Install

The installation cere- monies are in charge of County Commander E. Dickenson. All ex- servicemcn, whether or not they are members of the Legion, are invited 10 attend the ceremonies.

Scientific interest is being directed
TO a 35-ton formation recently dis
covered in Southwest Africa which has
all the appearances of being a meteor.
1t was discovered on a farm near
Grootfontein and is quite different in
every way from any of the rocks to be
found in that part of the country. This
is almost as large as the meteorite
which was brought from Greenland
in 1907 by Commodore Peary and if
the African find proves to be meteor
by answering certain scientific tests, it
will be regarded as very valuable find.

NEW YORK (P.-A new step toward
Standardization In the aircraft industry
is being taken with adoption by the
Aeronautical Chamber Of Commerce of
a new code Of procedure for obtaining
airplane performance data.
In the future the airplane purchaser
may know that the figures on speed,
rate Of climb, landing speed and ceiling,
furnished by the manufacturer, are ac-
curate and have been ascertained in an
approved manner.
Heretofore performance figures have
been arrived at by individual manufac-
turerS by various methods and, aero
nautic experts say, there were a wide
range OF inaccuracies.
Six universities equipped for aero
nautical engineering worn have been
selected by the chamber to conduct tests
for manufacturers under code drawn
up by a committee of experts and man.

lance at a joint meeting Of the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers and the
Aeronautical Chamber Of Commerce
here August rs to %.
The meeting is In connection with
the national air races and aeronautical
exposition.
Engineers Study Control.
The possibility Of controlling the
pitch Of propeller blades-the angle
1t which they attack the air-has en-
gagged the thought of many aeronautic
engineers.
# the angle of the blades could be
changed in the air. the range OF EN-
cheney of the airplane would be in
creased greatly, because one angle is
best for speed and another for climb
ing. Present day propellers strike
medium between the two angles. Some
are adjustable on the ground.

| their full output of power, after
many days and nights Of work.
The value of this educational
work cannot be overemphasized,
in the opinion of Giuseppe M. Bel
lanca, famous airplane designer
and builder, whose planes have
ord-breaking flights in the past
few years. In recent newspaper
interview, Mr.. Bellanca said:
There they are in the air, flying
on, day after day, telling evidence
that motors keep running, driving
the truth home through the news
papers and over the radio that
flying is safe"
Altitude records are of the
greatest value to the military avn
ator. Altitude means all the diff
ference between defeat and VIC
tory to the fighting pilot. The
fellow on top has the advantage.
The research necessary to produce
planes and motors capable of
making a serious world altitude
record attempt Is of immense
value to the military aviator. .
Develop Military Planes.
Speed also is of paramount i'm
portance to the military flyers, and
many of the lessons learned in the
racing airplane have been applied
to the fighting craft. Military
airplaneS which may attain speeds
of ais high as 200 miles per hour
are being developed in this coun-
try and abroad.
Though speed is a great military
asset, the fighting plane cannot
hope to reach the speeds attained
by the racing plane because of the
necessity for carrying military
loads, fuel for longer flights than
the racer ever Is called upon to
make, and owing to structural
differences due to the fact that
the fighting plane must be highly
maneuverable.
Racers which will participate in
the Schneider Trophy races at
Cowes, England, next month are
expected to attain speeds conSid-
erably in excess of 800 miles per
hour. Though such speeds are
