commissioner of Motor Vehicles Michael A.

This lengthening or the workday for the motor vehicle oe- partment offices is to give the public more time to apply for the new operators licenses.

 This period covered part of the time that the United States was in | the World war. Many bills were passed at the 1917 session relative to the war and the late Senator Iarkin was praised highly for his interest on behalf of the city, state and country as a whole as far as legislation in Connecticut was con- cerned.
 If the 18th can be swung back to the republican side of the state senate, the democratic majority of one is likely to be lost. There are other campaigns going on through out other regular republican dis tricts in the state, that went dem- ocratic last election, so as to re- turn them to the g. o. p. ranks. Ihe fight Is on and the democrats are now on the defensive. A loss or one place will deprive them Of their majority the republicans feel and that is the objective. In the 18th, Senator Hackett IS a candidate for renominatlon on the democratic ticket and also TOT reelection. on the other hand, he is to be opposed by George T. Cul- hane, well known local broker. who ran for the office of senator in the 18th six years ago and was defeated. The 18th district battles that have been predicted are not yet very definite. Many names have
 been mentioned but the present senator, Joseph H. Lawlor, still maintains that he will seek renom- ination. Further developments are | being awaited.

 The pilot was Lloyd Anderson, Cheyenne. the co-pilot, J. Daniel son, also of Cheyenne.
 The passengers were

 A rancher near Randolph, Utah, reported he heard a plane flying overhead at 6 D. m. about the time the liner was due at Cheyenne. A report reached her that an uniden- tified plane had communicated by short wave radio with a railroad section foreman at Emory, Utah, at 3:15 p. m. The plane said 1t was lost and asked for directions
 Officials were certain the plane had been forced down since wealth. CT bureaus reported heavy snow storms raging over the mountains between Salt Lake and Rock Springs.

 Under the g. 0. D. rules, no new members of the republican town committee can be elected until the primaries this fall, which will elect delegates to the various conven- tions, local and state. The pri- maries will also elect the town committee which will take office and direct the campaign imme- diately.
 It is claimed, however, that September or October is too late to have a town committee elected to put the state campaign under way. In other words, the new town committee, should @ change be caused in the personnel, would have to inherit the alleged Having down" of the old town committed and start from sub-Zero. There fore, it is believed, efforts will be made immediately to have meet ing called to have some of the present town committee members resign so that others may be ap- pointed with the progress of the republican rarty in view.

Washington. Feb 24-UP)-- The "do or die" spirit of the army air corps pilots was blamed oy higher officials of the army to-day for most of the accidents Wnicn have befallen the air corps during it's first week of carrying the ar mail.
 The impetuosity of the younger officers and a determination to ..show the world" that they could carry the mail despite impossible flying weather were held responsi- ble for the dozen crashes or the mast few days which have cost six lives. caused injuries to four more army pilots and damaged more than a dozen planes. Payt of the responsibility was laid to criticism and skepticlsm voiced in civilian flying circles which voiced doubts that the air corps could do the lob. This, according to one. high army official, endengeder a spirit Of recklessness among the younger pilots which caused them to ignore inc warnings of older heads that inc flying weather was impossible.

The latter agreed to Consider" his order, but gave out nothing definite that would tend to show that he will reverse him. self once more and stick by his original ruling setting the blizzard up as an emergency.
 Mayor Frank Hayes, the heads of local factories, many leading business men and welfare workers and clergymen of Waterbury sent telegrams to Hopkins yester- day. Throughout the state the tel egrams flowed to Washington by the hundreds protesting against Hopkins order. Among others who telegraphed were Mayor Jas per McLevy of Bridgeport, who pointed out the possibility of a food shortage in the Park City If the streets are not cleared, Mayor Frank Quigley of New Britain, Mayor Schwartz of Norwalk. Mayor John Murphy of New Haven. and other chief executives of Connec- ticut cities and towns. The Cham Der of Commerce officials also joined in the protest.

 The city continued to dig itself out of the snow today. All trolley and bus lines were running at noon, today, the last two to be opened being the Highland ave- nue and Walnut street routes. The temperature was low during the night, but was rising this morn- ing. However, there was a gener-- al freeze-up and shoveling and blowing was difficult.
 Early this morning Superintend- ent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming had not decided on whether to work the street cleaning crews to- morrow or not. He said he would study the situation and make a decision later in the day.
