SAFETY TESTED
 IN BLIMP PLANE
Experiments Prove Suc- cessful in Curious,
 FOOl=PrOOf Aircraft

Paris. (UP)-A fool-prof air craft, whose inventor describes 1t as "the dream of fearful people, children and nurses" has under gone remarkably successful tests at Toussus-le-Noble, near Paris. It Is q curious machine-half airplane, half sausage" A ride in it is proclaimed to be as safe as a morning walk. The ship can rise as straight as if 1t were in an elevator shaft, can descend the same way. and is capable of re- mainIng virtually still in the air at almost any altitude or can travel forward at about 50 miles an hour.
 M. de Broutelle, the inventor. calls it a helistatic. It consists of the usual cigar shaped gas bag fitted with tail and held in a network of graduated elastic braces connecting it with the nacelle. The nacelle is the unusual part of the helistatic, for 1t is aI- most exactly like an airplane.
 Of light material, the nacelle is fitted with q 60-horseDower motor, but besides the propeller in front, which drives the machine forward, 1t also has a propeller underneath, directly below the cockpit. This auxiliary propeller. which has it's own 12-horsepower motor, holds the secret of the machines ability to rise vertically.
 The entire machine is so per- fectly balanced when the gas bags are properly filled with hydrogen that at almost any reasonably low altitude as well AS on the ground it is static; that is, 1t will not rise or fall without motor power.
 De Broutelle begins a flight by starting the horizontal propeller underneath the nacelle. This causes the machine to rise straight up. Once at the desired height, he turns off the horizontal propeller and starts the vertical one, which moves the craft forward.
 When he wants to descend, he shuts off the regular motor, turns on the little 12-horsepower one controlling the horizontal propel- ler--in reverse-and the craft de- scends gently in a vertical line.

Connecticut is one of the six leading states competing for first honors in the extension of electric light and power service to farmers, according to a statistical bulletin isgied by the Edison Electric Insti- tute. While Connecticut is listed sixth in the percentage of its total number of farms which are wired and equipped for electric service. New Hampshire being first, the next five are so closely grouped that they practically constitute a uuintuple tie for second place honors.
 The rural identification figures compiled by the Edison Electric Institute show that at he start of the current year Connecticut pub lie utility companies had extended service to 10,138 of the states total of 17,195 farms, or to 59.0 per cent of the total. New Hampshire heads the list with a rural electrification of 63.5 per cent. while California. New Jersey, Rhode Island and Utah are all credited with rural ex- tensions reaching 59-and-a-fraction per cent of their farms.
 The E. E. I. statistics reveal that farm electrification is progressing more rapidly in New England and on the Pacific coast than in any of the other geographical subdivi- sions of the country. Of the eight states in which better than 50 per cent of the farms are electrified, four are in New England and a fifth is a fairly close neighbor. New Jersey. Tn addition to New Hamp- shire, Rhode Island and Conhecti- cut, the other New England state which has passed the 50-per cent mark Is Massachusetts. California and the state of Washington both have more than half of their farms electrified, while the only state to have attained this rating, which is not on either the North Atlantic or Pacific coast, is Utah.
 The rapidity of progress in rural electrification made in Connecticut is demonstrated in the figures both by comparison with the extent of electrification Il years ago and with it's extent in the United States as a whole today. Over the whole country, only 11.S per cent of the existing farms have been reached by electric service. Eleven years ago on December 31. 1923, Connec- ticut had only 11.3 per cent of her farms electrified. being one of the nine states which then had reach ed the 10-per cent mark in rural extensions. The nearly 60 per cent farm identification in Connecticut today thus reflects rapid advance of power into the states rural areas.
 During the II years referred to above, power companies in Con- necticut have made vigorous drive to bring electricity for light ing and the operation of farm ma chinery within reach of Connects cut farmers. The problem, how ever, was difficult one, since the

 Big Aid To Farmers

investment needed for pole lines and other equipment was not war ranted unless the farmer could use a sufficient amount of current to make the extensions of service profitable both for the company and himself. To bring this about. many experiments and demonstra- tions were conducted to show the farmer the many operations in which electricity could be substi- tuted for hand labor at a saving for the farmer. County farm com mittees were formed to cooperate with the utility companies in de- veloping rate agreements equitable to both sides. Today, even in the face of the depression, use of elec- tricity on individual farms is growing annually.
 This high percentage of farms now served together with the fa- vorable terms on which the com panies in the state are willing to extend their lines probably ac- counts for the statement recently issued by the federal administra- ton that no application for aid in financing rural lines had been re- ccived from Connecticut.
