Hayes Backs Plan
 To Name Air Liner
 ''City Of Hartford"
Aviation Commissioner Seeks Support in Effort to Have Akron's Sister Ship Compliment Nutmeg State-MOvenlent Gaining Strength

conference late yesterday afternoon and the mayor promptly came out In favor of the movement which was originally started in Washing ton by Senator Hiram Bingham and Congressman E. w. Goss. It was originally proposed that the new dirigible be named the ''State of Connecticut but the navy officials drowned on this pro- posal, holding that the other two dirigibles, the Los Angeles" and the, Akron" are named after cities and not states. Therefore, the drive to have the name City of Hartford was launched.
 Mayor Hayes to-day urged every body in Waterbury and vicinity to write letters to Senator Bingham and Congressman Goss urging the adoption of the name City of Hartford" so that they will be in q position to prove the interest of the people of Connecticut in the proposal. The Chamber of Com- merce and the various local civic clubs will also urge the sending of these letters to Washington.
 Commissioner Morris cited sev- eral reasons why the dirigible should be named in honor of a Connecticut city. Connecticut, he told the mayor, passed the first aviation laws in the world in 1911. This states laws, he added, were largely responsible for the national department of commerce getting national control of aeronautics un- der laws passed in 1922.
 Continuing, he explained, Con- necticut in 1927 created the first independent department for the aviation laws. He pointed out that a great percentage of the engines used in government planes are manufa ctured in Hartford and the two largest amphibian planes in the country were made in Connecticut. Furthermore, he declared, New Britain's factories manufactured Q great deal of the equipment for the Akron"

the stage fare and the tavern fare

excellent order, the stage fare re-

Achievement in World
Seldom Won by Haste

A doctor says, 1.-The man who
lives longest is the man who never
does anything in hurry" This is
called to the attention of speed ma
MACS. 1t Is undoubtedly true, also,
that those who proceed at a lei
surely pace in all things, secure a
greater enjoyment out of life. 1t is
only the presence of peril that re-
quires haste. Precipitancy has evil
consequences, all the way from din
ing to divorce; and the plaintive
cries Of the unfortunate are usual
~ due to something they have done
in a hurry. The earth provides
bounteOusly, but not necessarily to
the swift. Even the fortunes, the
greater ones, are of slow accumula-
ton in most cases-sometimeS pill
ing up through the generations.
The spiritual achievements are
likewise more the result of medita-
tion and contemplation than of any
rapid-fire thinking. Ruskin said,
Gall ones life is music if one
touches the notes rightly. But there
must be no hurry" An enforced
rapid rate of movement is yoke.
We are creatures of time, but we
need not be its driven slaves.-St.
