WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK

With more than il score Of Ne" Britain residents attending the Ahapa. or as ir IS formally known. the American Hellenic Etucauonal Progressive Agsociatons eighth an nuaI convention now being hsld in Boston. tho deliberations oi that body are naturally Of interest to the Greek colony of New Britain and is ether residents as well. During the eight years of its existence the Ahepa has enjoyed 2 steady and healthy growth succinctIy its aims may be said to be the incuication O., American culture into he Greek immigrant and the installation Of a love for Greece and it's language in the hearts Of children Of Greek par cnts.
 Both of these objects are con- mendable.

 The convention yesterday discuss cd ways and means Of raising q s1o.- 600 000 fund for the proposed Ahepa Institute which will be devott- 10 Hellenic-American culture, Such an institute would naturally become the center of the Ahepas educational program and the appeal for funds will probably be given hearty response by all Greeks and Amori- cans of Greek extraction who are in- vited to join in this work.

AN ANIATOR'S FINAL GESTIR RE

Though it will never he known that it was actually the case, as dead men tell no tales, it appears as if Naval Lieutenant J. P Deshazo had made such an heroic gesture as we expect of ayiators when he crashed his plane rather than make the questionable experiment of lifting it over a crowded grandstand when It was nearly out Of control losing his life and killing one spectator at the National Air Races in Chicago. Had he hit the grandstand hundreds would have been Killed,
 The flyer apparently temporarily lost control of his machine when turning ryIon and experts who saw the accident are of the opinion that he crashed it deliberately in q less crowded area than fl threatened to land. There may have been one chance in d hundred ,ha, he could have regained control and lifted II over the heads Of the crowd, but the opinion seems 10 be that he refused this chance and took the less dan gerous one for the crowd the fatal one for himself as the crowded stands were jn me path of straight away,

4 SKIPPER GOES EREI,

Captain Archie H. Brooks Of the steamer Fairfax, the liner that ram med the ill-tated Tanker Pinthis Tn Massachusetts bay last June, has been exonsratnd by the department Of commerce an unexpected conclu- sion of a case that at first seemed very black indeed for the Fairfax skipper.
 Department Of commerce invesu- gators might be easy 10 fool and, it seems quite surprising that out Of the welter of conflicting testimony, charges and counter charges, accu- sations and defenses, Chief Inspector Hoover reached the conclusion that Captain Brooks did his duty as we'll as 1t was humanly possible to do it. At the preliminary hearings of the case it vas claimed that no sos message was sent out by the ship; that some Of the officers seemed more interested in saving themselves than they did iH the safety of the Fairfax passengers; that the Fairfax was running at a speed Of Il 10 13 knots In the fog, instead Of knots as Inspector Hoover found. Just how much credence was placed in such reports is seen by the fact that the official board Of inquiry did not ac- cept them as truth.
 There are rumblings Of dissatis- faction with the commerce depart ment hearing in official circles in Mas5ac chusetts and threats that a grand jury inquiry will be ordered with the possibility that the captain uill have to face an entirely differ ent group of individuals. Whether they will be landsmcn or not remains te be seen, there should, however,

EXIT ONE DICTATOR

The political instability Of the Latin American temperament has again been evidenced by the over- throw Of Augusto B. Leguia. dicla- tor president of Peru. Leguia lost his power in virtually the same manner as he acquired it-by an uprising. This has always been the fayortd manner Of changing governments in South and Central America. and while it must be said that the prac- tice is becoming less common and the revolutionary bIoodshed less copious in recent years. it is evident that our southern friends still retain vestiges of their old fondness for po- litical lightning
 Leguis achieved supremacy by a coup d'etat in 1919 and had his presidency 'legalized" by vote" shortly 4fterward. Twice since then he has been reelected" and his H. year period of power has been un- usual for his genus. But, like most other dictators. he has finally been placed forcibly on the shelf and if he escapes with his life he will be more fortunate than most of his fix,

New Englanders Urged
 To Spend COnstructively

 Arguing that plenty of money was available as shown by biz increases in bank deposits. the mayor declar- ed that widespread spending along constructive lines by persons who could afford it would go far as a relief measure for unemployment.
 The present situation does not differ materially from ones that have preceded it and our chief con- cern at present should be to adopt such measures as will prevent a re- currence.' Mayor Curley said.

COMMUNICATED
More on the Golf Course

To the Editor of the Herald:-
 In a previous communication in your columns, l hinted at the diff ficulty of the Public Golf Course, for the class for whom l supposed it was built. Speaking specifically Of Hole 6, coming out of V placed deep in the woods, I prophesied dis aster. Accordingly, Sunday 1 stood by the tee good time and watched players. Keeping tally l found that out of 50 only 8 reached the fair way. The shots otherwise were dribbles and duffs into the rough in front, pulls 10 the hill and slices into the wood
 Now there is a radical defect in the construction and location of this tee It is built on the bias. The front of a tee should be at right angles with the center of the fair way. This an an elbow hole but the tee faces the home flag and the markers are placed accordingly. A very highest flight golfer, with the knaCk of skyiug his ball, might per haps carry the big tree intervening and make the fairWay beyond but he certainly would be a rare eX- Ccption. So the fairWaN for the drive is the fairway Of the first leg of the elbow Gas Pat might saw and the tee should face this. To do that, it must be carried along somewhat into the woods 10 the right and ckcwed SO that a line through the middle of the fairWay shall smack the middle of the tee. The tee should be higher too, and the face built up. This tee, as do some others fades away towards the front so tEat the drive is somewhat from hanging lie.
 Then if the few hirches on the ,ir of the hill on the left are re- moved, we look out through the mouth of widened Y and have much better chance Of getting the ball away; with plenty of distance and tho fairway broadening as we go. This seems worth calling to the attention of the public and the Greens Committee"
