TO AN AIRPLANE
Governor Trumbull apparently
has been affected with the airplane
microbe from having come into fre
quent contact with Senator Bing
ham; at least, this may explain his
plan to have a private airplane, for
scooting about the slate and filling
appointments without being bother
ed by the slower process of riding
In the automobile furnished by the
commonwealth.
The governor thus becomes the
first slate chief executive In th
United Slates to rely upon an air
plane to get about to perform his
official duties. Of course, the gov
ernor also intends to ride between
rialmtlle and Hartford Iri his air
plane and will have a, neat little
landing field near his home.
The time may come when the
state government will find It neces
sary to provide an airdome In Hart
ford to accommodate the airplanes
of state representatives and sena
tors. The example of the governor
might be followed with advantage
by Mr. Roraback himself.

0!f ANTHRACITE
When New England governors
meet this week In Boston to con
sider ways and means to help th
public If the threatened coal strike
materializes fhe oM quegtlon of
stimulating the use of substitutes
for anthracite will be debated.
We have been told upon innum
erable occasions that the greater
part of the V. S. A. territorially
speaking does not use anthracite,
and that New England and the east
also could get along without If.
All of which may be quite true,
but it Is hard to break a custom of
such long standing as the use of
anthracite coal for domestic heat
in? purposes. We Imagine the an
thracite coal Interesls are not
greatly concerned regarding a pos
sible change In the New England
custom of demanding hard coal.
The use of bituminous coal, even
the kinds that create the least
smoke and soot for bituminous
would change the appearance of
our New England communities in
more ways than one. There would
be more smoke In the air through
out the winter time, and there
New England.

be seen. One reason for (he failure
to utilize substitutes In New Eng
land has been that the cost has not
been low f'Tiouch; and most people
have the idea that anthracite Is not

around and gives more heat. On

tha failure In any particular was
unthoupht of. But he who disputes
with the vigarlaa tt folar weather
cannot have tvtrythliif Ills ewa
way. The long polar nights arc
already setting In, and a combina
tion of night and fog, not overlook
ing the terribly cold atmosphere,
forms nn enemy that man, even
with the aid of airplanes and aston
ishing preparations, cannot yet do
fenf. The time may conic when
explorers can laugh at such im
Impedlmenta, but (hat lime has not
yet arrived.
Happily, however, the expedition
will not be hreft of the opportunity
te mak scientific explorations clos
er to the bane of Efah. These should
prove even more valuable from a
practical standpoint than exploring
the regions closer fo the pole, es
pecially at this time. And It la prob
able that the experiences gained In
flying In the norlhland from this
base will ho of much practical bene
fit when the time Is regarded more
propitious for the polar flights.
That the expedition ultimately
will be successful In all Its under
takings there can scarcely be any
doubt. The fatiure to explore polar
regions with airplanes this year does
not moan It will not be done next
year or the year following. The de
cision to discard this part of the
program (his year merely means
that MacMlllan Is exercising due
caution; In other words, he Is "play
ing safe." The decision may be
slightly disappointing, but will most
assuredly lead to greater success
later.
It is to be hoped that th "ul

The first result of the Belgian

Summer Engagements
By Clad D. .Mariner
I think the' summer time is great;
I love to go to beaches
And meet some, pretty girl I think
my fate,
One of the pretty peaches.
And make love to her morn and
night,
As I know how, with all my might;
To kiss hi r hard and hug lv r tight
As every text-book leaches.
These summer-lime engagements
are
fieiighttul, to my thinking;
They often start, and go quite far.
With just a bit of wiuking.
Vacations puss away too soon
When with a sweetie you can spoon
Beneath a lazy summer moon
With little s'ars a-hlinking.
If In the tang of winter snow
I meet some girl, a hummer,
Whose face is one I ought to know,
Yet. I grow dumb and dumber
As 1 try to recall her name,
It s sport to suddenly exclaim,
"Why sure! Of course 1 know that
dame!
My fiancee last summer!"
