PARIS. Jan. 15.-As the result OF
daily airplane service between Paris
and London, as well as prospective
airplane connections in the near fu-
ture with all the leading European
CAPITALS. the designing of dainty air
plane costumes has become one of the
new tasks Of Rue de la Paix.
The models now being shown are
composed largely of fur, are guaran-
teed to be cold proof and fog-proof--
this for the English channel-and are
made in such a manner that milady
can climb in and out of an airplape
easily.
Future airplane shows are expected
to have a large section given over
hereafter to these millinery creations

signs now being shown are so attrae-
tive that thousands OF women who
would previously have died OF fright
at the thought OF a flight across the
channel are now clamoring for places
IN order to have an excuse FOR wear
ing one OF the new creations.

Using The School Houses.

1t might have been supposed that the
sanctity of the schOOlhOuse which would
be put in peril by any other than the
school use of it had been outgrOwn. So
generally has it come to serve a COM
munity purpose beyond its primary one
that the oldtime limitation would be
thought to have disappeared. But the
city of New Bedford Is just now in the
throes of discussion as to whether school
property can be used for other than
school sessions and the authorities
have gone on record against the school
house being made community centers.
New Bedford may be left to come to
a more sensible conclusion in the course
of time. The great value that has been
realized in cities generally from making
the schOolhOuSe serve the life of the peO-
pie will some day be realized there. But
that an instance appears where the ques-
ton is raised gives point to the other
question whether the towns that have
in a measure come to community use
of these buildings are making them count
for all that they might.
Greenfield long ago broke through the
Anticipated notion by granting a varied
use of its high school and the other
towns of the. country have come gcuer-
ally to community use of &choolhouseS
of every sort. 1t is left to the cities,
however, to demonstrate how far this
use can be carried by active promotion
by the school authorities of regular pro-
grams of popular entertainment. 1t
would be everywhere real addition to
the best life of the neighborhood if the
schOOlhouses were made radiating cen
ters of wholesome social life.

land high school, Spaulding high of Barre
and St. Adams high school Each are
holding up their record for the season.
Each believes its record entities it to the
coveted title. The season is fast slipping
by and 1t seems doubtful if the question
will ever be definitely decided. Many
times, as this year, it is impossible to
play championship games for one reason
or another.
As this situation arises nearly every
year (the season that such a condition
does not prevail is an exception it seems
that central board might be appointed
to act whenever there Is any doubt as
to which school the title rightfuIly be-
longs. These men might also decide base
bali and basketball championships as
well, but such a body of men are most
necessary to Untangle the yearly snaTl
which twines about the preparatory foot
ball championship Of Vermont.
Such a decision by body of men after
careful examination Of the respective
standings. would in Il great way eliminate
the bitterness shown by partisans of rival
schools whenever a championship is left
in doubt.
1t Is true that there are some years
when such a board would have a difficult
time naming a champion, but those years
it might be possible to narrow the deer
sion down between two schools and bring
them together for a final test of superior
ity. Such a board, appointed by the
Schoolmasters' club, would at least ObvI-
ate part of the present disagreeablencss

A \, city which has suffered much from
auxiliary league to aid the police in de
tectlng violations of traffic laws. Each
member has been presented with a card
on which are listed the Is deadly sins
OF city traffic. Any person noted in the
commission of one of these sins will be re.
ported promptly at police headquarters
the number and description of his ma.
chime and the nature of his offense being
recorded. Since the citizen aids are mum.
erous and will wear no distinguishing
mark, they should be of considerable aid
to the regular police officers for whom
the, traffic offender is generally on the
outlook. The eighteen sins are as fol
lows:
Creating hazard by excessive speed.
Recklessly driving in front of moving
street car or other vehicle.
Recklessly passing street car discharg-
ing passengers.
Passing street car to the left.
Pulling in front of approaching car or
other moving vehicle.
Driving through safety zone.
Not slowing up near pedestrian or We

Despite the fact that the Republican
marty in New York has called for the
reDcal of the primary law, Charles +.
Hughes comes out squarcly for its retcn-
tion. lie says it places weapon III
the hands of the party voters which they
can use with effect in case of need and
puts party leaders on their best behavior
and tends to prevent situation likely
to challenge a test. 1t also gives the
voters a consciousness of power and a
responsibility. They are responsible II
things do not 60 right and the importance
Of this assurance should be overlooked
in any discussion of the apathy of the
electorate.
He admits the open primary has
proven failure and thinks primary
laws should provide for a strict enroll
ment of voters and thus insure nomina-
tons along party lines and within con-
troll of the members of the party in ques-
ton. He believes the ideal method of
nominating candidates would be by con
ventions to which delegates are elected
within the membership of the party and
such conventions, besides drawing plat
form enunciating the policies of the or
ganization, should discuss likely candi-
dates for office and make public their
recommendations to be ratified or re
versed in favor of other candidates by
the voters in the primary election.
The Vermont primary is an open pri-
mary and has been robbed of its strictly
party nominations by members of one
political party voting for candidates of
an opposing party. The Reformcr be
lieves the suggestion of Mr.. Hughes of q
strict enrolment of voters and restraint
of their voting to the party in which
they are enrolled is desirable. Vermont
Democrats in effect have followed the
suggestion of Mr.. Hughes of holding nom
mating conventions previous to the pr-
mary in the party conferences they have
held and selected the list of Democratic
candidates. The idea Of a nominating
convention is not wholly a bad one al
though it would be just one more COM
plicati0n to an already burdensome piece
of political machinery. On the question
Of party enrolment. however, Mr..
Hughes has suggested some changes
that might be made in the Vermont law
without abolishing the general system.
