Members Of the First Baptist

the city manager charter in a state

ish bulletin. Practitioners are told
they should study the new charter
carefully, in order to be able to vote
intelligently.
1--WE think that those who under
stand it," continues the bulletin,
"and know Of its large success in
other cities will wish to vote for it.
In almost every city where 1t has
been tried 1t has resulted in more
efficient government, a reduction of
the expenses of government, and so
Of taxes, and the elimination of cor
ruption and graft. Like any other
form of government, it depends upon
honest officials, but it provides for
effective action by the voters, as the
old system controlled by politicians
does not, and makes possible an hon
est administration of the city, if we
desire it,"

III. S. War Plane Exports Await Congress Action

BY NEA Service Z
Fifty million collars worth of
American airplanes-made to join
the air battle over Europe now
creased, shrouded, and silent in
storage-hangars, are just one of the
problems staring the special session
Of Congress in the fact.
They are planes ordered for de-
livery to countries now at war dur
ing the last five months of 1889,
but which can not now be delivered.
The neutrality law forbids.
During the first seven months of
the year, $4,000, 900 worth of similar
planes were competed and delivered
for combat In the war now started.
The remainder on order will be
finished, and either stored waiting
a change in the law, or sold to
some country able to accept them
legally.
For 1889 manufacture, Britain
and France had ordered almost L.
500 American planes. Just how many
Of them were finished and delivered
before the declaration of war and
the automatic action Of the neutral.
ity act shut off further delivery
and further orders, is not know
But apparently, judging from the
money involved, at least half are
already in Europe, to fight the
Germans in the air.
Here are the orders listed by
leading European countries:

The American aircraft industry
Is operating today at about IS per
cent Of capacity, estimates John H,
Jouett, president of the Aeronauti-
cal Chamber of Commerce. Straight
line production of the large foreign
orders have enabled 1t to increase
production greatly, he indicated.
This suggests that the new AM
erican army orders now coming in,
and any orders which may be re-
ceived from countries cut of from
European plane-builders, could be
filled promptly and effectively with
out taxing the American airplane
industry.
The performance of these planes
in Europe may give some hint as
to American progress in aviation,
and serve as testing ground for
some splanes used by the U. s. Army.
Experts agree, however, that today
a plane begins to be obsolete the
moment 1t is rolled off the assembly
line, and that even ships for the
American army which directly fol-
low these European orders in the
shops, will be greatly superior to
them.
OF the six models of planes made
for belligerents by American plants
the U. S. Army itself uses three.

ON FRIENDS

How sweet 1t Is to have friend,
10 warn you when the wind blows cold,
Wnen heart born dreams grow dry and bend
and worries come. unbidden, bold
How sweet, to hold the offered hand
TO clasp 1t to your love of life,
TO see two eyes that understand,
TO feer the breath that dulls pains knife.
How long, my soul, your journey grows
upon the fitnty sands OF Fate
while searching-when the calm brain knows
that friends are often found too late.
For sorrow weaves silent ring
about the heart that tender, yearned
in vain TO know this joyous thing
that asks to heal hope that burned.

Current
Political
Comments

The drums are beating again for
Jasper McLevy, Bridgeport's So
cialist mayor, following the en-
dorsement given him for renomin-
alton by the Socialist party in the
Park City. He will be officially
nominated to run for another
term at a primary next week.
With Democrats and Republicans
still engaged In intra-party wars,
the Socialists expect to carry
Bridgeport again.
Considerable interest attaches
to the action Of the Hartford
street board in making a rule that
none but citizens or applicants for
citizenship shall be employed in
the street department. The ruling
becomes effective November 1, at
which time there win be dismiss
ais Of any employees mot citizens or
not having at least made appli-
cation for first papers. The street
board passed another vote pro-
hibiting the hiring Of any new en-
ployes in the future who are not
full fiedged citizens.
The states old age assistance
waiting list has been cut from
1900 to 975 applicants since the
first Of June, according to We'll
fare Commissioner Robert j..
Smith. Additional efforts to bring
the list up to date are being made,
he said.
The announcement by Labor
Commissioner Cornelius J. Dana
her that Senators Daniel Nc
Carthy and John L. Sullivan have
forfeited their seats in the Gen.
eral Assembly by accepting posts
as federal census supervisors is
purely technical. The argument
over the status of the two DEM
ocratic legislators will have no eff
feet unless q special session Of the
General Assembly should be sum-
moned. Otherwise, any arguments
about their right to hold state
office is Of NO practical effect.
! October 2 is the date of the city
election In Torrington and the re-
manning days will see plenty Of
action in the New City. The DEM
ocratic slate is headed by Mayor
William A. Pattern, running for
another term, while the Republic
cans have nominated w. Fred
Mills for mayor.
Hartford Is still without a Re-
publican town chairman, though
one was to have chen appointed
at . meeting this week. Many
protests over the delay are being
heard, largely ON the basis that
the party should have a leader
during the early stages of the city
election campaign.
Accountants making an audit of
the books Of the City Of New Bri-
tain submitted q report this week
in which they sharply criticized
alleged favoritism shown to some
contractors, heavy expenditures
despite limited appropriations and
other practices. The report states
that operating expenses of the
city should be greatly reduced.
