England will devote their leisure time

ing horse chestnuts, which the govern

Researches last year by the Royal So

chestnuts provide a satisfactory sub
stitute for the grain used In certain
processes of munition making. Every
ton of horse chestnuts harvested will
save half a ton of grain for human
consumption. Plans made by the
school authorities indicate that more
than 100000 tons of these chestnuts
will be turned over to the government
by school children this fall.

DESTROYER OF THE FRONTIER
Aircraft Promises Such Swift and Easy
transportation That Peoples Will
Not Be Rooted In Soil.

If you went In the ordinary way
from the Italian city Turin to Eng
land, you would change trains three
times, cross the channel by boat, force
yourself to be patient while locomo-
tves coaled and took on water, pas
sengers embarked or alighted along
the railway, and customs officers went
through their fussy examinations. A
proper allowance of time, we would
say, would be SO hours.
The other day, Captain Lauriat of
the Italian aviation corps made the
journey by airplane In II hours and
2 minutes. For him, there was no
such thing as frontiers, no delays ex-
cept those he himself willed, no Off
cials in seedy uniforms to make
mess of his baggage unless he selected
to let them.
1t is the idea of internationahsts
that Wen have a world state when
everything is so mixed that there Is
no strengthening 1t out by national
command, when borders can be
crossed as one would county lines,
when transportation is so swift and
easy that no peoples can be or will
desire TO be rooted in the soil. Well,
should this come about. the world has
