IN ROCKVILLE Annual Convention Being Held— Financial Reports — Rockville, Conn.,, Aug, 15, — Fire fighters of the state were well repre- sented today at the annual convention of the Connecticut state firemen’'s as- sociation. The city departments with their intensive development and the town departments which depend upon the volunteers sent their delegates who not only took part in the con- yvention but enjoyed the hospitality which Rockville extended them. The executive committee having in charge the day's program first met to complete business in readiness for the afternoon business session. Then the fire chiefs club met with Chief Rufus R.

PRECAUTIONS MAKE NIGHT FLYING SAFE Improvements Will Help the Night Mail Service Chicago, Aug. 15.—~The meteroligi- cal conditions of the country at night and the elaborate percautions taken by the government to guard against the hazards of night airplane flying all will favor the success of night air mail service when the government inaugurates this service between Chi- cago and Omaha next Monday night, according to government air service officials in statements to The Asso- ciated Press. The distance is 540 miles. : Alr conditions at night, it is pointed out, are more favorable to flying than during the day.

Such a device, it 1s said, would result in the saving annually of many lives and an untold amount of property. Processes in many industries are productive of considerable dust clouds, which, hanging finely suspended in the alr, form a combination that is highly explosive. Among the estab- lishments in this category are grain elevators, rubber working plants, spice flour and feed mills, and plants in which powdered sugar, corn starch, sulphur and aluminum are used or Askfor Horlick's The ORIGINAL Malt for aThront Tickle the surg service for department members wheo have answered the last call since the | YeSetation, gwhich forces upward a stgong air current.

Contracts are already report- ed to have been made by German or- ganizations for 40 million gold marks’ meet the airplane, the plane has a tendency to rise and when the avia- tor flies out of the current the ma- chine immediately drops. Airplane motors, as a rule, run bet- ter at night than by day because of the increase of oxygen and moisture in the alr, according to aviation of- ficials, They expressed the belief that this would add to the success and ef- ficlency of the government's night mail service. Furthermore, large beacon lights have been installed every 12% miles between Chicago and Omaha. These will be kept going continuously throughout the night and will throw a swirling flood of light into the air to guide the aviator over his route In addition, lights will flood the land- ing fields and indicate to the aviator the direction the wind is blowing. To care for the hazards of forced landings, the airplanes in night serv- ice will be equipped with wing top lights controlled from the pilot's seat. Parachute landing flares, also con- trolled automatically, will be carried by the aviator. As he glides his plane in a circle in landing, the field, wherever the forced landing may hap- pen to be, will be flooded with light. The wing tip lights will not blind the aviator's view, but clearly indicate any obstructions underneath him. Although difficulty was anticipated in getting aviators to fly the night shift, approximately 75 per cent of them have expressed a desire for this service. This is though to be due to worth of Russian grain, chiefly rye. This transaction is said to have been financed jointly by the German gov- ernment, the German industrialists and the German bankers. Krassin and other representatives of Soviet Russia maintain that the So- viet government will be able to ex- port three million tons of grain this season. They contend that the sea- son there has been more favorable than in Central Europe. There has been more sunshine and no difficulty is anticipated in harvesting the grain because of rain. In all the Soviet government expeets to collect about 11 million tons of grain this year in grain taxes, and is planning to export almost one-third of this amount. Grain crops in Germany are in ex- cellent condition as a result of the abundant rain which has fallen gradu- ally throughout the spring and early summep. But the lack of sunshine before July 1 has caused apprehension less there be insufficient heat and sunshine to ripen the grain and make harvest possible.

"WANT WALKS 70-SCHOOL Fducation Officials Confer With City Engineer About Construction of Passageways to Carmody Bunilding. Chairman Bernard F. Gaffney and Secretary E. M. Pratt of the school committes were in conference yester- day with City Engineer Joseph D. ‘Williams to discuss the possibility of constructing sidewalks from Farming- ton avenue and other points into the ‘Washington school. The school is lo- cated in the center of the Carmody tract and streets leading up to it have not been developed. So that children may not be obliged to walk several blocks during stormy seasons, the school committee head has sug- gested the construction of a boarded sidewalk from TFarmington avenue. The officials will meet later in the week to prepare a plan for action by the public works board.

Humphrey has returned from a vacation spent at Lake Pocotopaug, fires and explosions in these and other industries have taken an imemnse toll. The attention of *engineers has been applied to their prevention, and the’| government has organized a labora- tory under the direction of David J. Price, in the department of agricul- ture, for the sole study of dust explo- sion prevention, As a result firés and explosions in several industries have been reduced almost to a minimum; especially is this true in flour mills. The problem of the engineers has been to discover how.much dust must be suspended in the air to form an explosive mixture. While the lowest limit was not definitely ascertained, it seems to range from a content of from 7 to 35 ounces of dust per thousand cubic feet of air. The instrument de- vised by Mr. Price and his engineers is to enable plant engineers to check up on this condition by drawing the dust charged air through a paper fil- ter, and comparing the weight of the collected dust with the amount of air thus analyzed. of Winsted returned home today after | & a three weeks visit as the guest of | Mr. and Mrs. Louis Lehr of Columbia street, Miss Bernice Lehr will leave Sun- day for a two weeks visit the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Richar: William E.
