Capt. LaPorte's old friend and
and Navy associate, Capt. Edwin
c. Musick is, making aviation his
tory today as skipper of the giant
China Clipper.
Recalled recently from South
America, where he was one Of the
ranking pilots, Capt La Porte has
been testing Pan-American's third
ocean liner, the Hawaiian Clipper.
If Capt. LaPorte is entrusted
with the responsibility Of taking
an airplane across the waves, his
proud parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
LaPorte, $40 Fletcher-av, Apt. 3,
will not be worried particularly,
for they have faith both in their
sons ability and Pan-Anerlcan
Always.
They recall too we'll, however,
those horrible hours in 1926 when
Mike and two other naval officers
were adrift in the seas off Miami
for six hours, clinging to pontoons.
Capt. LaPorte, then a chief
petty officer in the Navy, was re-
lief pilot of the seaplane 1873 when
1t dropped into the waters.
A FT'ER his third year at
4 n Manual Training High School,
Mike enlisted in the Navy here in
1913, because of his interest in
electrical work.
He advanced rapidly to chief
petty officer, the highest rank
usually held by enlisted men, and
was transferred to aviation short
ly before the United States entry
into the World War.
During the war, he was instruc-
tor in aviation at Norfolk and
Pensacola. When Capt. LaPorte
retired from the Navy after Is
years service, he became associated
with Pan-American Always.
In South America Capt. La
Porte became somewhat of
pioneer in blazing trails across the
sky. He was the first pilot to es-
tabliSh a commercial route across
the mouth of the Amazon River
and from Colon to Miami
Before being recalled to the
United States, Capt. LaPorte was
ranking pilot on the Para, Brazil
Rio De Janiero line for Pan
American.
Capt. LaPorte might have &C
companied Admiral Richard Byrd
on polar expedition if Mrs. La
Porte, quite understandingly, had
not made such an emphatic
protest.
NZHEN he was home during
w the Thanksgiving holiday
last year, Capt. LaPorte remarked
to his parents, Every time I go
up l feel safer in the air than on
the ground l never take a plane
up until it is tested thoroughly.
AS a boy attending School Is
and Manual, Mike and his brother,
Glenn, carried newspapers for the
old Indianapolis Sun, predecessor
of The Indianapolis Times.

with the aid of Hooverville's one

Birth, death, marital battles, re-

Hooverville until Federal steam

who lived in the squatter town

both sides of the question. Teach- CTS contend that the state board has exceeded it's legal right in proposing added requirements for certification.
 Higher Standards Meantime, the state board of education to-day announced the 1885 summer session schedule of the Teachers College held annual ly at Yale university. Appended to the schedule under the heading "A Professional Degree for All Teachers" is the following para graph which seems to indicat e clearly that the aim Of the board Is much higher educational standard than has been required III the past:
 Since teacher preparation
 for all graduates is now on
 the four-year level, 1t is desir- able that normal school gradu- ates make systematic plans to raise their preparation to the
 standard set for new teachers.
 Graduates of the normal
 schools with two or three years
 of preparation may, in q pro-
 longed series of years, acquire
 credits sufficient for degree
 quivalency. It Is strongly
 recommended that such gradu-
 ates matriculate for this pur-
 pose and secure their credits through summer sessions and
 through university extension courses"
 In local teachers circles, the possibility of obtaining the re- quired credits at Yale during these summer sessions has also been questioned. It is claimed that the courses offered at present do rot meet the new administration specifications outlined by the state board.
 100 Per Cent Membership At yesterdays meeting, the fi- nancial report of Miss Anna Ske- han disclosed that every eligible teacher in Waterbury is a member of the association. For the sec ond consecutive year the organiza- ton claims 100 per cent member ship.
 Other reports were given by the legislative committee, which in. cludes Miss Mary Kennedy, Miss Anna E. M. Dwyer and James Moran. Miss Esther Tehan was named chairman of a committee appointed to arrange for a social event. It was announced that the an. nual meeting of the association would be held in May, at which time a new slate of officers will be elected.

LAG IN Job TOTALS.
SHOWN IN Z YEARS.
Cut in Idle Ranks Slow After
Spurt Early in Admin
iStration.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Unemployment estimates widely used
IN Government departments indicate
progress in cutting down the jobless
rolls has been comparatively slow dur
ing the past two years, after sensa-
tional squirt early in the admintstra-
ton.
The figures, assembled originally for
President Roosevelt's Committee on
Economic Security, estimate unemploy-
ment decreased almost 100000 dur
ing the first seven months of the New
Deal but changed little in the subse-
quent two years.
Despite their use by Government
agencies, the figures have been closely
guarded since they were assembled by
the Security Committees consultant,
Robert r. Nathan.
15,07I,0OO Peak in 1888.
They place the peak of unemploy-
nnent at 1901 900 in March. 1888. and
estimate that by October, 1888, it had
fallen to 11,176,000. Since then the
figures show sharp fluctuations, with
net decrease of 261 900 from October,
1888, to September. 1885.
September's total of 10,915 900 was
higher than the New Deal low of
1o,743,000, in June, 1884. Although
the final figure for October has not
been determined, preliminary calcula-
tions indicate it. will be materially
less than the September total
Nathan assembled the figures through
March, 1885, for the Economic Secur-
ity Committee. Since then he has
made the computations unoficially.
His estimates include totals not only
of the unemployed, but of the en-
ployed.
Although they show more unem-
ployed in September of this year than
in June of last year, they also indi-
cate more people were at work in
September. This surface discrepancy
is explained by an estimate that the
employable population increased 450,-
600 between the two months.
Available Labor Increase.
For the seven-year period from
January, 1929, Nathan estimates a
total increase in the employable popu-
lation of almost 100000 persons, and
comedies this may be low. He places
unemployment in January, 1929, at
1851 900. On that basis the Nation
would have to find about 100000
more jobs than existed in January
1929, to wipe out joblessness.
Here is how unemployment has
swung back and forth under the New
Deal, according to Nathan's estimates:
