i OEA-GOING HACKS SLOWING PASSING Sojourning in Rome Will Miss 0ld Vehicles Washington, D. C., Sept.s 3.—The decision of the municipal authorities of Rome to retire some of the horse- drawn public carriages that ply the streets of the famous city, and at the same time to increase the taxi- cab supply is anncunced in news dispatches. Few so ,urnecrs in Rome have es- caped riding in these conveyances of a by-gone day. The tourist, often newly arrived from Paris, where taxis swarm in all the thorough- tares, is struck immediately by the few seen on the streets on Rome. The lack is all the more marked be- " cavyse the Italian-made taxis are ex- cellent vehicles. Vehicles, Horses, Drivers, Old At the station or at his hotel the visiter can obtaina taxicab with a little: delay, but sooner or later he will stand on a street corner vainly trying to find one unoccupied. Then he will convince himself that the open ‘Victoria’ rolling sedately down the street will serve, and in he will climb. No doubt there arc relatively new carriages doing public duty in Roms, drawn by energetic horses; but the casugl visitor seldcm encounters them. The carriages are of the kind dubbed ‘sea-going hacks’ before the flowering of the gasoline age drove them from our streets. They are reminiscc t of otr Capital's Penn- sylvania avenue, and numerous other clty main streets of the late nineties; a low step between curved fenders, a single low seat for passengers, a steep upward sweep in front to a high driver's seat. The combination ususlly met with consists of an old vebicle, drawn by a nag long past his prime, and guided by an ancient mariner of the reins and whip.

You gather, roughly, that every self-respecting Roman hor, s insists on walking three times as far as he has trotted before he feels equal to the strain of mak- ing another dash. Naturally these easy-going equip- ages intérfere with traffic, especially in the narrower and more crowded streets.

Tourists who have had siml- | {lar experiences can picture some | {busy ofticial, held up by one of these lancient vettur~, rushing back to his |office and impatiently penning the recent order that is to make Roman cab service less a matter of horse flesh and more a matter of gaso- | |line. DESIGNS PLANE "~ OF SOLID BUILD Break Up Dayton, O 3 P plane that will be harder to “crack | |up” than most of those now flying | |has been designed by D. E. Dunlap, |aeronautical engineer, and soon will | be ready for test flights. Two of the frultful causes of | |trouble when an airplane goes into | a nose-dive are the propeller and | |heavy power plant, which often are’| forced back upon the pilot, injuring or killing him. Dunlap's ship will have two motors placed between the wings and at the sides and back of the pilot and his companion. They are | |“pushers” with the propellers in the rear. This eliminates dirt from |the engine, and the terrific noise, land gives passengers a clear view {directly ahead. | Of more fmportance, it permits | the ship to be buflt with a blunt | metal nose. when it comes down on |1ts nose, it will stmply “nose over,” | Dunlap says. | The ship will be amphiblan, with Sept An alr- both land and water landing gears, | |which in later models will be ar- |ranged so that they may be switched | flying. The landing gear also will be equipped with a brake, and will be | |able to land and take off in twice its own length.

The upheaval which so completely upset the Newington republican town committee, and which resulted in the election of Roy Hurd as| chairm the slate was set for T. C. Wallen, still has G. O.

Another incident in con- | last caucus which | ns wonder- | all about, was when 1, who last year acted s campaign manager for a defcated | cndidate, offered a motion to the caneus that no person who had heen on the town committee for the past four years be eligible for mem- bership. The motion passed when it was found that instead of throwing out | the entire commitiee, as was the pparent. intention, Mrs. Vincent dy and Charles Luce, on the com- ttee for two years only, were re- tained. On the other hand Mrs Proudman, former vice chairman and acknowledged to be the most active party worker, was left oft of the committes because of the mo- tion. Another person left off of the committee was R.. H. Erwin, a for- 1 'mer representative who is sald to | have heen on the committee for 10 | or 15 years.
