ACKNOWLEDGING
PROGRESS VIEWED
Gas Advances as Agent
Although introduced in
State Year Ago

Although It was only q little more
than q year ago when the Con-
necticut Power company installed
Connecticut's first gas air-condi-
tioning system at its Stamford Of
nee, authorities on manufactured
indoor weather agree today that gas
has already made much progress
In the air-conditioning field, where
the probabilities Of the future chal-
lenge the imagination.
Writing In o recent issue of Gas
Age-Record Floyd w. Parsons,
noted economist told Of some Of the
predictions now made for air-condi-
tioning:
"Air-conditioning will produce
many radical changes In our archi-
lecture. It viii cause new styles In
building. For one thing, year.
round air-conditioning will render
it necessary to have double windows.
ALREADY industrial research has
produced q special type Of double
glass that may soon become stand
ard In aforementioned homes. This
new art will not only result in
economy in ground space, but will
increase available floor space by
eliminating the present necessity
for original ventilation in large
structures.
Even at the present time q num-
Der Of large buildings are using arti-
ficial lights with much success. One
advantage Of this Is elimination Of
outside noises and distractions.
ACKNOWLEDGING win become in
creasingly helpful in reducing the
suffering Of patients In hospitals.
Especially will this be true In the
operating rooms where 1t permits
asceptic conditions to be main
tanned without hazard to the patient.
Future hospitals unquestionably will
be designed for the full utilization
Of air-conditioning. Tests indicate
that IS out Of 100 cases Of Hay Fever
and Pollen Asthma are relieved by
air-conditioning.
"Air-cooling In summer Is spectac-
ular, but the greatest benefit to hui
man health will result from humid
ification during the cold, dry heat
season. Even in the summer
months, the principal effort eventu-
ally will be directed toward de-
humidification rather than to cool
ing.
Looking to the future, 1t Is rea-
sonable to predict that the average
business man will lariSe, pleasantly
refreshed, having slept In an air
conditioned room. He will travel
In On aforementioned train, toll IN
an conditioned office, store or
factory. and dine in an air-con-
ditioned restaurant. The only time
he will know anything about heat
waves or Arctice blasts will be when
he exposes himself to the natural
digcomforts Of out-of-doors."

 Thus far the Clippers have out of the water. Neither is their safety assured in case of severe storms.
 Pan-American officials planned heretofore, should bad weather necessitate, to move the plane from Manila bay.
 The new base, between Cavitc and Sangley Point, about 2 miles by water and 25 miles by land from Manila, will have a wooden 'Is9vM SQg O sIous sql WoIy duvI which will permit planes to be drawn up on land, secured, over hauled and serviced.
 The waters of the bay are more sheltered behind the point on which Cavite is located. This will permit landing and taking off un- der weather conditions which might make 1t impossible in Man. fla harbor.
 Although Manila Harbor is pro- tected by hreakvate.s, the water is frequently rough enough in ty- plloon season to make landing and taking off difficult. The new loca-

PARIS TO MARK
 ARCS TOOTH YEAR
Great White Way" Start ed in Napolean's
 Regime

Paris = (U.P.) = Napoleon's Tri- ufnphal Arch, the imposing edifice ct the head of the Champs Elyseeg which is better known to tourists than any other Paris monument, will celebrate It's tooth anniversary in July.
 Strictly speaking the Arc de Triomphe which overlooks Paris "0reat White Way Is not Napo- leans for he only started the con- struction. It was completed under tho reign of King Louis Philippe at c cost of 46,22b,B76 francs or ap. proximtely 93,200,000.
 The Arc is i00 feet high with on actual arch space of 04 feet thick. There are 273 steps to the summit which are seldom used now as the Arc was equipped with an elevator five years ago. Back in 1888, when there was no elevator, Q postnaan named Francois siry made Q rec- ord climb, ascending three steps at . time In 0i seconds. He was faster than the modern elevator which makes tho ascent in three minutes on week days and in Ave minutes on Sundays and holidays when the crowd of visitors il greater.
 The Arc dc Triomphe is under control of the Ministry of Fine Arts which has made arrange inents for appropriate ceremonies on July 20. For tho past 10 yeara there has been . nightly ceremony at c ?. m. of rclighting tho eternal flame which burns above the tomb of the French Unknown Soldier
 The Golden book there is signed by many prominent Ainerican'i including General John J. Pershing Woodrow Wilson and others.
 Napoleon ordered the Arch to bC contracted on February i0, 1906, te commemorate the victory of Aus. terlitz The cornerstone was laid ir August of tho year and tho French architect, Chagrin, wal put in charge. Unfortunately hC only IS feet high. Work was re. commended, however, in 1914 but 1t was halted when Napoleon wal banished to Elba.
 During the. early Restoration years no work was done and ever the scaffolding was destroyed. Tn October, 1923, Louis XVIII decreed that the Arch Do finished, but ac- tual competition was in the reign of Louis Philippe.

ton is advantageous for this req son.
 The new base is being con- structed on a site formerly owned by the Earnshaw Docks and Hon. olulu Iron Works.
 However, Pan-American officials do not consider it more than tenn porary base, as they have ultimate plans of constructing adequate facilities closer to Manila. The distance to Cavite is somewhat of a handicap. officials desire to have the base as convenienet to the pulp lis as possible.
 The Pan-American radio sta. tion will remain at its present To- catoin near Fort Mckinley.

The last of the Waterbury veter- ans eligible to receive the bonds was given them at Newington this afternoon by Postmaster Babin, who made . special trip to the veterans' hospital for this purpose. Mfr. Babin explained that this man was taken to the hospital during the first few days of the bond de. livery here and did not receive his bonds at home.
 Bonds are still being received in small numbers daily at the post ofilce and it is likely that the total given out to Waterbury ex.service- men will eventually 90 over the g.. 500 mark. Much of the money already disbursed to veterans as . result of the bonus, it iS indicated hes gone directly into home repairs, payment of bills and the purchase of clothing. furniture, and other similar expenditures.
