Making Thanksgiving Favors.

BY CAROLYN SHERWIN BAILEY.
Your busy fingers may make these
just before it is time to help stuff
the turkey and bake the pumpkin
pies. The Thanksgiving table needs
to be full, but it also needs to be
decrated. So here are some favors
that any girl can begin planning to-
day.
Candy Pumpkins.
Wrap some sugar almonds in It's
sue paper and then bunch them in
cotton batting so that this package
of sweets is pumpkin shape. Cover
the whole with orange crepe paper,
winding it at the top with green
sewing silk to make the pumpkin
stem. Cut leaf from green crepe
paper and paste it near the stem.
Stand one at each guests place.

Pleased With Vote In Senate.
Omaha, Nov. 15.-To the Editor
of The Bee: without the dotting of
an 'i' or the crossing of a "t' the
league Of nations will be ratified"
Our little senator has several
guesses coming when he measures
up the patriotism of the American
people by his own limited amount.
All hail to Georgia, to Missouri, to
Massachusetts, and the other loyal
states that had Americans on the
senate floor, that refused by their
votes to take instructions for the
future guidance Of American affairs
from the British House Of Parlia-
ment. This is not one-mans oun-
try nor does it need a league of for
eign tongues to direct out future.
We were born alone, grew to our
present greatness alone and fully ca
pable of managing our own affairs.
Greetings to all those American SEN
ators that honored themselves by
casting their votes to maintain the
presidents of their country by refus-
ing to form any entangling alliances.

Lawyers as Lawmakers.

Greeley. Neb. Nov. 14.--To the
Editor of The Bee The Bees Letter
Box column Is undoubtedly one Of
its most interesting features. The
issue OF November 8. which contains
a letter from Central City on "A
Test for Laws" brings this rather
forcibly to mind.
The writer of that letter would
make q valuable member of a law
making body were he supported by
enough of his kind, but unfortu-
nately we are yet too far from the
millennium for that to happen.
The letter suggests simplification
of the laws, which, Of course, is only
common sense. But would not that
be its chief defect in the eyes of the
lawmakers? We all know that the
laws on our statute books, both state
and national, have been put there BY
lawyers. To them we are indebted
for our present tumble Of unintell-
gible. contradictory laws that some
times the most able lawyer cannot
correctly interpret"
What Is the reason for this ad-
mittedly poor work? We can hardly
ascribe it to ignorance, for the law
yer Is supposed to be educated and
skilled in his profession.
Can 1t be that his remarkable sue
cess in making laws obscure and
contradictory is motived by desire
to look out for No. /, for it is very
evident that the fewer and simpler
the laws the less need there would,
be for professional interpreters?
Is 1t not too much to expect that
the lawyers, who constitute or
dominate the lawmaking bodies, will
strive for a condition that would
close half the lawyer factories of
the country?
Obviously it is not and will not as
long as they consider 1t their duty or
business, like Beliai, to- make the
worse appear the better reason.
Until the lawyer looks at his pro-
fession from a different viewpoint it
will, I fear, be a waste of time for
"citizen" to suggest much needed re-
forms.

REVEALS AIR RULES
OF PEACE MAKERS
Woodhouse Says Paris Confer
ence Permits Establishment
of Prohibited Areas.
CRAFT TO BE REGISTERED
Federal Legislation for Con-
troll Of Flights in U. s.
Is Urged.

A plea for Federal regulation Of aerial
navigation was made yesterday In
report prepared by Henry woodhouse
and transmitted to Rear Admiral Perry
president Of the Aerial League of Amer
lea. NJ. woodhouse has collected the
important judicial decisions respecting
aircraft since the days Of balloonins'
when farmers sued for damage to crops
He incorporates in the report the agree
ments made between the nations at the
Hague conferences, the International
Aeronautical Conference in Paris In 1910
and the principles adopted by the Peace
Conference, not hitherto announced.
The Peace Conference, after limiting
Gernany's aeronautics. decided that the
contracting States had a right to estab-
lish prohibited areas over their territory
which craft from other countries might
not enter, either from military reasons
or in the interest of public SAFETY IN
peace time mutual agreement Is TO
hold permitting the innocent passage
Of foreign aircraft.
The provision is made in Article "
Of the agreement that aircraft which
finds itself above a prohibited area must
make a landing outside this area, giving
out a signal of distress and make re-
port at the nearest aerodrome OF the
State unlawfully flown over. Registra-
ton OF all aircraft is required to be ex-
changed between the contracting states
every month. Aircraft cannot be regis
tered In more than one State, and In
case the machines are owned by cor
poration the president and two-thirds OF
the directors must be Of the nationality
under which the aircraft Is registered
All aircraft engaged in international
navigation must bear marks Of nation
atty and registration and carry the
name and residence Of the owner. In
case a prohibited area is created by any
State publication Of the fact must be
made to the other nations.
Mr.. woodhouse finds that air flights
are In the nature Of interstate traffic.
and urges the various States to delay
passing laws regulating flying until the
Federal Government acts. A number OF
cities already have adopted certain re-
strictions.
The problem Of identifying aircraft
while in flight Is one OF the chief DIM
culties in the way of enforcing regula-
lions, Mr.. woodhouse says. He advo-
Gates having every part of the planes
marked with the registration number as
the most practicable rneans Of SOLVING
the problem. He points out that IL the

for his registration number to be seen

and those below him. II he flies high 1t
will be impossible to identify his ma
chine from the earth. The aviator who
