An early biplane in flight.

If we had the power to go back in time, and could take an airplane or zeppelin with us, how we might amaze the people of ancient agesl
 Those people used to dream of man
 being able to fly, but our records say that the few bold men who tried to do so fell and broke their
 bones."
 The first successful flying ma- chine" was a balloon invented ale most a century and a half ago by. the Montgolfer brothers "They filled a large paper-and-cloth bag with hot air and 1t rose in the air, l Our records do not say that the Montgolfier brothers ever made q
 personal trip in balloon, but other
 men braved the dangers of rising Into the air. Before long, a French
 man and an American made a ball.
 loon trip across the English chan
 mel.
 Later came the airplane, the
 product of many men working in
 many places. Orville and Wilbur
 Wright are sometimes given credit
 for ''the first successful heavier lthan-air carrying flying ma lchine," but their work would hard lily have been possible without the |ltrials which Otto Lilienthal, a Ger
 man, and Dr. Samuel Langley, an
 American scientist, carried on be-
 fore they made their first flight.
 This is the century of the air- |Iplane. Aviators have risen more than eight miles above the earth's surface. In 6 few cases airp1anes
 have travelled at speeds greater than 300 miles per hour. Trips have been made across the Atlantic ocean, the first nonstop flight being made in 1919 by AL cock and Brown, who flew from ||Canada to Ireland. The mighty Pacific ocean has been crossed through the air, first by the Graf ||Zeppelin and later by Pangborn and |Herndon in an airplane. Fast journeys have been made around the earth, 9 record being set Hoy Post and Gatty who circled the |lglobe in less than nine days. |s (This article may be placed in invention" section of your scrap- boolk).

THE INDUSTRIAL
 DATA FOR JULY
Figures Show Slight De. crease in Man Hours
 Compared With June
SURVEY NOT COMPLETE

In 193 plants reporting man hours ia July in this state there was n decrease of about 9 1-2 per cent as compared with June. In spite of tho cndeavor of many mcnt ns far ns possible. tho num- Der of those employed was also less than in June. As thls figure is not reported In all cages. 1t cannot be accurately given The general i'm precision is. that Connecticut manu- lecturers arc rotating their em- ploymcnt so as to employ as many as possible.
 It was. of course. to be expected that July man hours would rcccdc. This would be the casc in n normal ycnr. The man houra reported arc from 30 factories In Bridgeport. 12 In Bristol. 27 in Hartford. in Mcr- iden. 2a in New Britain. 37 in New Haven. 8 in Southlngton and 60 In Middlcscx county,
 It would be Interesting if the man hours were reported each hut factories there have been in- crcasIngly busy lately on the small felt hnts that women are beginning to wenr. The back ahop depart mcnts of tho hat shops are running nights in some instances. Unfortun- ately. Dnnbury makes no report of man hours. Hartford appears to have had the greatest decrease In man hours in July of all those re- porting and Bridgeport tho least.

NEED OF CLOTHING
 IN MANY HOMES
GO Through the House and See What You Can Spare
FOR CHARITY'S SAKE

There is enough wearing apparel that never will be used in the diff ferent homes in Waterbury for every needy person. but it is not an easy matter to get families to pick them up and leave them where they can be taken 10 those who have the matter in charge. If people would go through the house and see what they can get along without and leave them nt one of the fire stations they would be call ed for and turned over to n com mittee whose members are familiar with the needs of several families.
 If this is not done most of the articles will remain in the clothes closet until they are moth eaten and given to the ragman for little or nothing. There are very few houses where there are not q few pairs of old shoes, coats trousers and others things discarded long ago that would put many through the winter. The reason it is go diff- cult to turn the attention of some to this plan of relief. is that they are not aware of the condition thatfexlsts in many homes about town,

The Spirit of
 Chief Metawcha
YMCA Campers Pick Five Members for New
 Society

Again the spirit of Old Chief Metawcha returned to the Y. M. C. A. camp to pick gvc new mem bers for the honor society, "The Sons of Metawcha." The five new members chosen were Charles Spicer. Junior Village; James Dur win and Richard Heebner. Middler Village: and Joseph Corcornn and Francis Lusk. Senior Voltage.
 Each of these boys have dis played unusual proficiency as all round campers. The purpose of the order is 10 further higher Christian ideals and traditions of the camp. 10 give campers some sort of self governing body. and to recognize ability and leadership among the boys. Just after the usual Sunday council fire was started the legend wau repeated.
 The spirit of Metawcha was uBhercd in by m Indian runner. Each candidate was picked by hav- ing Il wreath of pine of Metawcha placed around his neck. After n short ceremony around the fire. tho candidates were taken into the woods for the first part of the initiation. Bill Briggs then told campers at the council fire n Jun- gle story to climax tho years story telling. During tho latter part of tho story many of tho new candi- dates for tho order returned with HmaIing faces knowing that they had been chosen by tho council as ono of tho best.

The fifth member of the sus- pected band of bandits credited with terrorizing various parts of the city and vicinity with a long series of burglaries and hold-ups was arrested here last evening and to-day in police court was ordered held under bonds of $2,00O for Il hearing tomorrow morning. He gave his name us Ernest Ladd, 21, of b23 North Main street. 1t is more than likely that the authori- ties of Glastonbury may make an effort to have Ladd turned over to them for prosecution on break ing and entering charge. The Wa terbury police are seeking to link the young man with the theft of an automobile in this city.
 Ladd Is q pal of Joseph Telesco. 27, of Pilgrim avenue one of the four young men arrested early Friday morning in the vicinity of Columbia boulevard and ordered held under bonds Of $l0,000 each for trial tomorrow morning.
