Our soldier boys proved in France
that they were . the best disciplined
men in the world; but woe betide the
man who imposes on them! The po
sition of "Hard-Boiled" Smith, the
American officer convicted by a court
martial in France of brutality to
soldier-prisoners, is not one . to be
envied.
V DAISY ASHFORD.
We advise pur clients to keep an
eye open for 'The Young Visitors,';
a; novel by Miss Daisy Ashford, which
is soon to be published. Miss Daisy
wrote i this entehainingtdle " when
she was hine years, old. . Unhappily
she has since grown : to years of ma1
turityy which is af pity, f this is how
Daisy wrote when she was nine: : :
Next morning while imbibing his
morning tea beneath' his pink silken
quilt Bernard decided he must marry
Ethel with no more delay. x I love
the girl he said to himself and she
must be- mine but I somehow 't eel I
cannot propose in London it would
not be seemly in the city or London.
! We must go for a day in the coun
try and when surrounded oy tne gay
twittering of the birds and the smell
of the cows I will lay my suit at her
feet and he waved his Carm wildly at
the say thought. Then he sprang
from bed and. gave a rat tat at Eth
el's door. ' r
Are you up my dear he called.
Well not quite said Ethel hastily
jumping from her downy nest.
Be quick; cried Bernard, I have a
plan to ispend a' day near Windsor
Castle and we will take our lunch
and spend a happy day.
Oh Hurrah, shouted Ethel; I shall
soon be ready as-1 had my bath last
night so won't wash very much now.
No don't; said Bernard, and added
in a rather fervent tbne through the
chink of : the door you are, fresher
than the rose my dtar no soap could
make you fairer.
Then he dashed off very embar
rassed to dress.

? OUR 'OLD FRIEND HENRY
Henry Ford is really a public
benefactor for having permitted his
mind to be overhauled and tinkered
as to what is an anarchist or an
idealist is no. worse than the vague
ness of almost all of- us on many
matters. And at any rate Henry is
not vague in his sincere desire to
make humanity happier, which is a
thing that most cross-examining law
yers never even think about.
We hate to think what would hap
pen to us if we were cross-examined
in the Chicago fashion on almost any
subject. Take Batik, for instance,
which we see mentioned in the Wo-,
men's pages every (Jay or so. Our
ideas on Batik are so vague" that it

LOOKING OUT BELOW
Among Europeans, whom we like
to consider backward, the regulation
of air traffic was .being seriously con
sidered years ago. In the United
States the matter is one that has
been left, until now to dilettantes
and pokemakers. The trgaedy at
Chicago may bring Congress and the
state Legislatures out. of their
trance. - ."' . " V - , '
An airplane when it crashes in the
open will kill only the occupants. If
it crashes in the city it may kill a
hundred people. What a falling air
ship can do was shown in the Chi
chago disaster. v ,
The general public is protected by
military, regulations ; from danger by
army and navy dirigibles and planes.
Pilots are compelled to operate their
machines with plenty of leeway. ,1
But ' what of the thousands of
ameteurs who are now taking to the
air in various types of flying ma
chines? A manufacturer's report
shows that within the last year five
hundred airplanes have, been deliver
ed to tivilian , fliers in this country.
Five hundred additional orders are
being filled. The civilian fliers will
be a serious problem, and since Leg
islatures never think rapidly . they
ought to begin to think about air
traffic regulation now. . '
