THE AIRPLANE INDUSTRY IN NEW ENGLAND

Profit to be made in the manufac- ture of airplanes is an element of importance in the progress of avi- ation. which one reads about nearly every day. New England is in line to share in this profit At least there are now d total of ten aircraft plant. in New England, and about IS more plants making airplane parts.
 Thus the economic importance" of the aircraft industry is well es- tablished. Citizens are importuned to buy their own planes-just as they were asked to buy their first auto mobiles at the turn of the century. Today. as then, they are hesitatins . little. but there is no telling what may happen in 10 or Is years. By that time there may be many more airplane plants in New England; or perhaps fewer and larger units.
 At this writing there is little pos- siblllty that any aircraft concern in the future will be able to turn out hundreds of planes a day, as is the case in the manufacture of auto- mobiles. But the East Hartford plant of the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Corporation. on which construetinn work ia about to begin. is expected to employ 5000 men. This is as good

ENFORCING COMPETITION

Forcing the oil compianies to com. pete is something of an endless pro. cess. The other day s: companies, headed by the Standard Oil of In. diana. were found guilty of an at- tempt to restrain and monopolize trade by pooling their interests in cracking patents. This, the Chicago U. A court held. is contrary to the Sherman anti-trust law. The com. panies are supposed to compete with one another. in the cracking process as we'll as in other oily lines.
 How they compete is something like this: The map is divided into territories. and the various com paniss do business in their stipulated territories. That eases up. if it doe, not entirely remove. competition be. tween the companies who have asred to the territorial mandatea.
 The only competition left is be. tween the so-cailed trust companie, and the independents. This has been spirited here and there. but price, seem to jibe for the most part foi the ame grade of oil.
 The next move in the crackin. process decision probably will be the finding Of . way to get around th, law. That is why high priced at. torneys are on the legal staffs

THEATRICAL LANDMARKS

When the Thalia theater on the Bowery burned the New York papers were filled with a history of the old playhouse, which originally was known as the Bowery theater. It is interesting to both old-timers and the flaper generation to read of dramatic history that was made at an old playhouse.
 A somewhat similar story comes from Baltimore. where the old Ford's theater. operated by one family for 51 years, and where every great exponent of the drama during that time has appeared, was in dan- ger of going dark. This possi bility. from what We can learn, has been prevented by public-spirited citizens who have jumped into the breach to save Ford's for future generations. Perhaps it will be rebuilt and made into one of the modern palaces, like the big movie houses, but the name. according to the intentions will re- main.
 In Boston the old Boston theater has mellow mem ories; and the Old Howard. now . burlesque house, once heard the voices of the mighty. In New Britain We had what wa, lately known as the Lyceum. which years ago went into pictures" when the legitimate quit following the road. Many local old-timer has
 warmed his heart with memories of
 the good old days when the bis names in drama were seen and heard here in person. They cannot
 help thinking that the present gen.
 eration is missing something. despite
