think it must lie in an independent
air service. Otherwise, if kept to-
gether with the army and navy,
aeronautics will suffer the usual
neglect which befalls auxiliary
branches of the army and navy. 1t
is urged also that separate commit
tees on aeronautics be created in
the senate and house of represen-
tatives.
Not only are there military neces-
sites involved in concentrating all
the aircraft under single depart
ment of the government but the
whole question of safeguarding the
lives of civilians from the flights or
inexperienced pilots is involved.
Similarly the United States must
cooperate with foreign governments
in setting up landing fields for In
ternational flights.
Handles International Routes.
Again. a separate air service
would take charge of aerial devel-
opment overseas. England is today
planning a mail service north and
south through the continent of Al
RIGA from Carlo to Capetown.
Dirigibles already have crossed the
Atlantic. Army aviators tell me II
is feasible to establish mall com
nunication by air between North
and South America and across the
Pacific to Hawaii, Gaum, the Phil
ippines, Japan and China.
Many projects for transcontin-
entail flying are before the air ser

predicted within a short time. Civ
liam and military phases OF aero

come an absorbing study for the

order and by a single cut In ap-
preparations by congress all these
ambitious projects are suddenly
dashed to pieces and the air service
itself reduced to a mere fragment.
Peril TO Nations Defense.
More than 5000 planes, $4,000

FaVOrS Artificial Beach.-Claim-
ing that the uncertainty OF the wa

Roscoe z. Sawistowsky has come
out openly in favor of an artificial
swimming pool. He has made the
decision only after studying the
river stage reports for the last IS
years. He goes into the question
rather thoroughly in the following
interview: THE present stage OF
the river is about seven feet. This
is the ideal stage for the beach al
Credit island. The formation of
the ground under the water is such
that a lower stage would make the
water too shallow for swimming.
while a higher stage would make
it too deep except very close to the
edge Of the water"

WHAT zoN1NG DOES

Conversion of UnzODed New YOri;
to ZORing.
AS it is the theft of the horse
| that teaches one to lock the barn
door, it is the dire consequences
of unregulated building which are
the most effective in impressing
the value of coming upon cities.
Until its coming law was adopted
in 1916 the city Of New York stood
in a fair way of being utterly
ruined. Its retail shopping dis +.
trict once situated on Sixth ave-
nue. and Twenty-third street had
been so completely shot to pieces
by factories that it had to be aban-
doned. the department stores NOV
ing in a body up Fifth avenue
north of Thirty-fourth street. But
the factories persisted in following
the retail establishments, threat
ening them with just as great a
disaster as had overtaken them on
Sixth avenue and Iwenty-third
street and which had cost them
millions upon millions OF dollars
Nor had the residence districts
Jared any better. Section after
section had been built up with
beautiful homes, all, of course,
highly restricted, but the restric-
tions we're short-lived and as soon
as they expired the whole neigh
borhood fell a ready prey to the
apartment, the store, the factory
and the garage, with the result
that people were beside them
selves to know where they could
live with safety. School streets
became the dumping ground of all
the local nuisances-stables, black
smith shops, storage warehouses.
The finest parkways stood in i'm
minent peril of becoming two in
terminable rows of garages. Many
people moved out Of town, where,
land being cheap, they could to a
degree protect themselves.
When New York had been taught
only too well that unregulated
building meant anarchy in its in
dustrial and residential develop
ment: that putting apartments mex:
to private houses, gas tanks next
to schools, and factories next to
department stores, proved not only
Improbable, but involved the de-
moralization If not the collapse of
real estate values-the acceptance
Of coming came as a matter of
course, and now all the wonder is
that the city did not effect-and ex-
ercise control over building a half
century ago.

Mayor c. p. Skinner of Moline
Saturday received notice from the

will be no sanitary survey Of Mo-

this is said to be because the state

will be of inestimable value in

zoe and
Her Problems

As our homes are the rampant of
our nation and our women are the
keepers of these homes, work for
which they are especially fitted, and
whore their influence shapes the
destinies Of human souls, and of.the
nation to far greater extent than
it can do in any other walk of life,
we would not only pay them tribute
for the skill with which They solve
the fproblems which arise, but if
possible aid little in their solution.
Wherefore these articles. Zoe, the
name Of our heroine, means life:
When Zoe became mistress of a
home she found that many prob
lens awaited her whose unraveling
H depended on herself alone. In her
role Of general superintendent and
B manager of the home with all the
ATTENDING perplexities she must use
tact as we'll as patience and for
bearance.
For time after she was married
everything went we'll and there
were no clouds in her horizon. By
mutual agreement each practiced
r forbearance and there were no dis
Y cords to disturb the harmony of
their home.
But as the years rolled on the
burdens Of life increased and many
problems arose with which she was
unacquainted. 1t was not always
d easy to determine the best method
Of procedure but she had plghted
her troth 'for better or for worse"
and she was determined it would
not be for worse.
She made mistakes of Course and
sometimes became discouraged as
M what housewife has not, but always
81 her better judgment came to the
rescue and she was ready to try
again.
& With most housewives it is the
little seemingly trivial Happenings
which are most annoying and Zoe
found it so in her case. Sometimes
the occurrences were so trivial tina
she was surprised and ashamed tina
she had allowed them to disturb
her, surprised, too, when she learned
that as rule housewives in genera
have similar experiences.

DUBLIN, June 26.-Dublin has

art industry and many churches

Munich now get it at home. The
reputation of Irish glass has been
grown and extended beg ond the bor-
ders of Ireland and windows have

A remarkable window has just
been on exhibition in Dublin. 1t is

of his Canadian staff who fell in
the war. The window was designed
by a young Belfast artist, Miss
Geddes.

TIPPING IS FORBIDDEN
ITALIAN CAPITAL
INSTEAD 20 PER CENT FOR SER
VICE is ADDED TO
BILLS

ROME, June 26.-Rome walters
refuse to accept tips from patrons.
Tips are vigorously suppressed and
nothing can induce the walters to
violate the practice. Their instist-
ence on keeping to the regulations,
however, is not motivated by any
altruistic tendencies for one of the
rome walters fourteen points" is
that 20 per cen must be added to
the total of the bill for service.
An American, m of the latest ar
rivals in Rome, who is attached to
the American embassy here, was
paying his bill recently when, on
leaving a tip of 80 cents for the
waiter, he was astonished to find
the waiter handing the money back
to him. The American Immediately
concluded that the tip was not con-
sidered sufficient and that it was
therefore scOrned. He was reach
ing into his pocket to reinforce his
grautity when someone speaking
English told him of the Rome rule.
Herewith he pocketed the tip and
walked out.
Large posters have been placed in
the restaurant and tea-rooms here
announcing the action of the wait
ers. On the whole, the practice
seems to have satisfied the patrons,
who feel that they have, at last,
been spared the annoyance of the
inevitably disgruntled waiter. ,

PLANES AFFECT PLAY
OF COAST GOLFERS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-That
aviators are to blame for affecting
the quality of their play is the m
recent excuse being offered by golf
ers here. Members of the Califor-
MIA Golf club complain that air
planes from an adjoining flying field
detract their attention from the ball
during a stroke thereby causing
them to take many more strokes
than usual in covering the course.
AS neither the golf club nor the
aviation field is likely to be moved
away, the players are becoming re-
signed to the fact that the airplanes
will simply have to be considered as
another hazard.
