ing.

Elizabeth West, as clerks.
At the election, a mayor, three

Davis, treasurer was elected to serve
one year.
Besides the appointment of judges
and clerks of election, the council
discussed several other matters.
Mr.. Raymond D. Houck was before
the council with a request to purchase
part of the towns property, on
North Third street, so that he could
enlarge his garage. No definite de-
cision was made.
E. R. Jones asked the council to

securing a community building for
Oakland The letter was passed for
futur consideration.
Specifications were gone over for
the electric wiring of the water farm,
west of town, but no definite action
was taken.
The speed of trains through Oak
land again came up for discussion.
After complaints had been sent to B.
and 0. officials several months ago the
town was informed that engineers
had been notified and should they not
keep their speed at a moderate rate,
that the town was to inform the
company. According to the council,
some of the engineers had continual
ly disregarded the order, and the city
clerk was ordered to make a report
to B. and 0. officials.
Bills amounting to $1,426 were
ordered paid. Among the bills We're
those for back salaries of all city
officials, and an order to the Fire De-
partment for 500. This latter item
made a total of $3.50 paid to the Fire
Department during the last fiscal year
in comparison to $1,000 for the past
few years.
The final meeting of the present
council will be held on Monday, March
7.

 Kemp. sole appraiser for the highway department and one of nine persons accused, attacked the legality of the jury proceedings. method of the jury selection and contended the charges against him had been outlawed by the statute of limita tions. It was un- derstood he would appeal to the supreme court from the decision.
 Judge Wynnc wrote that If the motion to quash were granted there would be nothing to prevent the states attorney from proceed ing upon the original information nor would there be anything gained if this court should make extensive comment regarding the historical development of the grand jury and it's modern adap- tation to new problems of social import"
 Regarding the statute of hmitaA lions, the court ruled:

Good Government League to Begin Suit Against
 Two Accused Men

Amount Claimed May Be $250,0O0 to $5O0,0OO
 on Each Man

Suit for several hundred thousands of dollars by the Citizens Good Government Association of Waterbury, Inc, against Frank J. (Burns) Santalucia and Philip Coppeto, Waterbury contractors, were in the making today, The Democrat learned from a reliable source. They will be entered in the Superior Court shortly by George H. Cohen, of Cohen and Cohen, Hartford lawyers. the same attorney who acted for the Waterbury group in the suit for $6O0,OOO against former Controller Daniel J. Leary. The suit against MT. Leary apparently has lost point for the Good Government group following several legal opinions, including those of Griffenhagen and Associ- ates' lawyers, that the city is liable for "over- drafts" and over-expendi- lures of appropriations, and pay ments of claims against the city properly should be made from the surplus resource sinking fund.
 Safety Box Deposits
 Following the exposure" an- nounced last week "semi-officially" by members of the staff of Specia. Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn, ST., that safety deposit boxes in Waterbury and New York banks" belonging to Santalucia and Coppeto showed cash amounting to about $95 .00O," The Democrat learned that no court order had been issued for such "in- spection" of safety-deposit boxes at

 The state argued that while the selection of the jury by the court. rather than a sheriff, was "a new procedure" and that heretofore the states attorney was not per- mitted to sit in on the delibera- tions, it "does not mean that in this day and under the conditions with which we were faced early this year, that the states attorney cannot go in the jury r0Om."

first cars were simply horseless car
riages, the whole purpose being a
motor that would propel buggy
by the explosions of a gasoline en-
CINE. The modern automobile body
and comfort came later.
Similarly, the first airplanes were
simply aimed to defy gravitation
and fly. Later man set about to
make flying simple, comfortable
and safe. The Chicago show will
illustrate completely and fundamen-
tally how well he has succeeded.
To begin with, man now does his
flying indoors. Just as the "open
car" has almost disappeared from
the automobile trade, so have cab
ins become almost universal in the
airplane industry. Even the lowest
priced craft now have such refine
ments as upholstery and heaters.
Since aviation enthusiasts want
to operate their own ships, flying
is being sinplified to the nth" de-
gree. And since most Americans
know how to operate an automo-
bile, the trend is to make airplanes
as much like motor cars as posi-
BILE. Instead of sitting in front of
the pilot as in the early planes, the
modern passenger sits beside his
driver as in a coupe. And CONVEX
sation is easy as it is cheap.
Controls Simplifed.
The parallel continues in the con-
trolls. Many new planes now have
steering wheels and at least one
manufacturer has placed the gas
control on a foot pedal like an au-
tomobile accelerator.
Another device, not entirely new
but made standard or optional
equipment on many more planes in
1888, is the tricycle. landing gear.
This device, with the standard two
wheels supplemented by third for
ward wheel, permits the plane to
move forward on the ground in the
natural level position of an automo-
bile until it has attained enough
speed for the takeoff.
And, although the mechanism
still compares with that of the auto
mobile, there are some new planes
on which automobile tires have
been replaced with web feet! The
reference is to seaplanes and am
phibious ships, rapidly growing in
popularity among private pilots.

A. S. Aslakson, sheep rancher of
Sheyenne, N. D., carries a shotgun
in his plane and wages relentless
war from the air on coyotes which
raid his fiockS. ,.-.---
for hire, in sightseeing flights and
in the important work of training
more flyers.
Another important market is the
corporate field, where large bust
ness firms are finding it both con-
venient and economical to own their
own ships. Thus busy executives
can arrange their own timetables
on long trips. Craft used in this
service range from modest two or
four passenger jobs to full-size air
liners with specially constructed
bodies, allowing conference and
work rooms for executives while
they are in the air.
These are among the more prom
inent phases of this phenomenal in
dustry to be explained at the Chi
cago show.
AlrllneS Participate.
Four lines - American, United,
TWA and Pan-American-are Co
operating in the exhibition of a gil
ant Douglas transport sleeper. Spe-
cially constructed cat-walks will en-
able visitors to examine the big
ship inside and out at close range.
In addition, individual airlines are
exhibiting equipment promoting
safety and regularity of air trans
port.
A large section of the exhibition
floor will hold government aerial
displays. The army is sending a
P-36 pursuit ship, the navy will send
a Grammar bomber and the coast
guard will show how it saves lives
at sea through aerial work. The
bureau of air commerce has pre-
pared special safety exhibits. The
Langley field wind-tunnel and spin
testing tunnel will be shown in mini
ature.
These are the things that Orville
Wright (Wilbur died in 1912 has
lived to see develop from the crude
though scientific - beginning at
Kitty Hawk. A fitting addition to
the imposing list of exhibits at the
Chicago exhibition would be the his
toric craft that started a transpor-
tation revolution on December H.,
1908. Strange, indeed, is the fact
that this plane instead rests in

The list of great college football
players who have achieved equal
fame in professional baseball is
surprisingly slim. Sammy Baugh,
of course, might take comfort in re-
membering what Riggs Stephenson
did. The "OP Hoss" who paced the
Chicago Cubs outfeld few years
ago is probably the most dramatic
exception to the sad rule. Stevie,
who was one of the most consistent
hitters of his day, was an All-Amer-
lean fullback at Alabama and re-
mains to this day the all-time choice
for that sectional honor.
Another AlI-Southern grid star,
Eddie Morgan, made good in the
big leagues after a distinguished
career at Tulane. He played first
successfully for the Boston Red Sox,
but he was never in Stephenson's
fight.
Luke and Joe Sewell, who were
Alabama football stalwarts, have
been in organized baseball, but
neither was a football player OF the
Baugh or Stephenson type.
Probably the best football player
to make the big leagues after Ste
phenson was Mickey Cochrane,
manager of the Detroit Tigers.
'Tron Mike" was a first rate back
at Boston university, but he never
got a nod for All-American.
The All-Americans for good and
sufficient reasons passed up such
fellows as Ted Lyons, the White
Sox pitcher when he was an end at
Baylor, Zeke Bonura when he was
a tackle at Loyola of New Orleans,
frankie Frisch when he ran punts
for Fordham, Luke Appling when
he played at Oglethorpe u, Bill Lee
of the Cubs when he was a back at
Louisiana State and Gerald and Hub
Walker when they played at Missis-
sippi State.
