DESTROYER OF THE FRONTIER
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 locomc-
tives 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 u hours and
minutes. For him, there was no
such thing as frontiers, no delays eX-
cept those he himself willed, no Off
Gals in seedy uniforms to make
mess of his baggage unless he selected
to let them.
1t is the idea of internationalists
that Wen have 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
the instrument which will compass it.
1t is the flying machine.-Toledo

WOMEN SLOWER THAN MEN
Double the Number Required In New
York Banks, But They Are
More Methodical.

There is at present no woman off,
Ger of a New York city bank. and only
one in New Jersey, but If the war
lasts long enough II may well be, as
il is In Canada now, that the banks
viii virtually be run by women. AL
ready, it is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States en-
tered the war last April. says the New
York Evening Post.
Women are slower, but more care
fut. said an official of the Mechanics
and Metals bank, so. although twice
as many women as men are needed
to do the same amount of work, the
bank loses no money on extra salaries,
because the women save hundreds of
dollars which had to be paid TO the
clearing house for the mems mistakes,
Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost SIS or $50 a week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent OF its men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The Mechan-
les and Metals bank now has 60
women and they are being taken on
by tens or twenties each week. So
far these 60 women are taking the
places of only SO men, which shows
the difference In rapidly, but the Off
cinl Of the bank pointed out that il
would be serious problem when the
men came home for their Jobs.

business will he big enough then TO

A saxon-Freneh Cigar Lighter.

Several years ago the then new min
lister of France. NJ. Klotz, decided 20
impose a tax of two francs, or 10
cents American money, on each cigar
lighter used in that country. The rea-
son for this is that the sale of matches
in France is in the hands of the gov
eminent monopoly and the portable
lighters interfered with the sale of the
matches. On the other hand the
matches have become so bad in quality
that they are subject of complaint and
ridieule. The law has become unpopu-
lar and there is an effort now being
made TO have the order rescinded. Not
withstanding the fact that an In
creased tax was placed on tobacco by
the French government several years
ago, 1t has caused a tendency to I'M
crease smoking and that is proven by
the many smokers to be seen in public
places and thoroughfares.
