But somehow you're mighty comely-
It's your funny, crooked grin!

EUROPEAN AIR
TRAFFIC TREATY

Here in America people seem to
think, as a result Of aviation-scuttle
policy of Congress in withholding APP
preparations to maintain our FEEDER
al Air Service, that air travel is a
mele dream and that airplanes and
dirlglbles are nothing but playthings.
The people of Europe, however, are
aboring under no such deluson, for al
ready their countries are covered with
a network cf regular commercial air
lines, essels are rapidly being con-
structed by Germany, as we'll as our
recent Allies, for merchant service
through out the world.
1t is not surprising, then. to read
the announcement that Switzerland
has just signed 4 privisional convcn-
ton with France and Great Britain
dealing with air traffic
Some Of the more interesting pro-
visions of this pact, which 90 into cf-
feet on March |, are as follows:
Each country agrees to grant free
passage over its territories and terri
torial waters during peace time to
registered aircraft which comply with
the conditions Of the convention. Air
machines must not carry wireless
without special license from their
States, and must cross frontiers only
at certain points which are To be spc-
cited. Each of the States will name
one or more airdromcs on it's terri
tory which must be used for the ar
rival and departure of machines.

THE EFFECT OF THE WAR
ON GERMAN CHILDHOOD

Emil Abderhalden, professor of
physiology in Halle University, in a
lecture delivered in Berlin on infant
morality said that two million babies
would have been born in Germany be-
tween 1914 and 1918 if the war had
not ensued. Professor Abderhalden
declared that malnutrition, from
which half a million children were
suffering, threatened the lives
of 100000 of them owing to the ex-
tent of tuberculosis and ricketts,, which
diseases were raging throughout Ger
many.
"The stunted and retarded growth
of our children" the Professor said,
"no longer suggests itself to us, be-
cause we are so accustomed to it, but
a commission Of neutral physicians
visiting Germany estimated the ages
of children ~ years old at three
years younger"
