U. OF P. DIVIDES
ON FINANCE POLICY

Alumni and faculty OF the Unlver-
sity of Pennsylvania have definitely
aligned themselves on opposite sides
as 10 the future financial policy to
be pursued by the university. This
was revealed yesterday afternoon in
Philadelphia. when both orgfni7a-
tions submitted detailed reports to
the board OF trustees at a special
meeting Of that body called for the
purpose.
1t was this question which was
warmly discussed at a meeting OF the
alumni Of the university. held in Will
mingtOn several months ago. At that
meeting a committee Of 100 repre-
sentative graduates was named to
consider the proposition. This COM
mittee has now reported in favor OF
a purely private Institution support
ed entirely by voluntary endowment
contributions and cut off entirely
from state aid
Opposing this plan. a commttee OF
fhe faculty, headed by John Frazer,
dean Of the TOwne Scientific School,
contends that a close relationship be-
/ tween the University and State, with
! large appropriations, is the more de-
sirabe. It's report is based on the
conception or the University as an
institution OF public service, which
has expanded with the needs Of the
community and should continue to
expand =

GENERAL HOME CARE.

from chilling, but at the same bime
should not be so heavy as TO cause
him 10 perspire on slight exertion.
The habitual use Of too heavy cloth
ing predsposes OF "c0lds." while too
thin clothing causes a heavy drain on
the child's vitality. To attempt to
harden a child by undue exposure is
not wise. In winter long stockings
should be worn, and the feet should
be protected from wetting by rub
bers.
The feeding OF children Is OF the
greatest Importance, and apart from
the quantity and quality OF the food,
the time and maner OF the meal
should receive much consideration.
Regularity OF feeding should not
cease when the child is weaned.
Teach him TO expect his meals at
regular hours, and his appetite and
digestion readily adapt themselves to
a schedule that Is strictly adhered
to. Let the meals be cheerful. social
occasions. The food is more easily
digested when eaten in a happy at
mOsphere than when consumed in
gloom or acrimonious argument.
The question OF recreation for a
school boy or girl Is sometimes a
difncut problem. outdoor play and
sports are ideal, but the movies"
and similar entertainments have a
strong appeal. A child attending
school should not 60 TO evening en-
teriainments Of any kind on any eve
ming except FRIDAY or Saturday, and
the child should not keep late hours
then or 60 habitually This applies to
children In the upper grades; Younger

very nfrequent and never in the eve

TO London BY
AIR ROUTE soon
Expert Says COLOUR Trip
Would Cost $500 a
Passenger
SAYS $12,5OO,OOO
CAPITAL is NEEDED

LONDON, Jan. 5.-For about $500
the air traveller Of the very near fu-
ture may be able to make the trip
from London TO New York by airsnlp
in about nfty-nve hours. This is one
OF the prophecies made by Nj Pratt
in Commercial Airships, and he goes
into more detail Of the cost OF run
ming the airship service than has any
other man. As chief engineer TO the
airship department OF Nickers, Mr..
Pratt can speak with authority on the
subject.
His idea for the future OF a cross
Atlantic airship service is to have not
less than three ships operating, each
being approximately Of about 4,OO,OOO
would occupy about 80 to co hours,
each ship would make one round trip
each week, carrying on each trip a
maximum revenue load OF about TWEEN
ty four tons. Mr.. Pratt estimates that
accommodation could be provided for
about. 100 passengers with 100 pounds
OF luggage and 30 pounds OF food
apiece. This would leave over 10 tons
for lightweight freight or mails. Il
the trip was made twice week IN
each direction, all the ilrst-class mat
ter OF England could be carried by
airship.
AS 10 running costs, a capital OF f2.-
5OOOO would be required. This would
provide three ships costing f5OOO0
each. two airship sheds, two mooring
/ towers. land Offices, working capital
+ and the usual accessories. The total
( running costs for each crossing are
/ estimated at f2250 The life Of an air
ship is taken as four years, and its
hreak-up values at 10000 AllOwinl
for a 10 per cent dividend on capita
and an average of SO per cent maxi
mum load 10 be carried on each trip
Mr.. Pratt comes to the conclusion
after considering insurance, repairs
wages and overhead charges, that IN,
fare per passenger would be f77 eacl
way. and freight f575 per ton. Mail
would be carried at the rate OF id (
cents) an ounce.
II is generally admitted that air
ships will be used on these trans
oceanic services, and as the fares can
not be considered excessive, especiall
as the crossing would take less tha
half the time taken by steamer w
may confidently hope to see thes
services running in the near future
The airships to be used In these serN
ices would be provided with all CON
forts and conveniences, and passen
gers would not be confined TO on
seat throughout the journey.

interesting accounts OF the early ali

FRANCE FEARS
new AIR RAID
Paris Sees Civilian Planes
Used by Germans in
Next Attack
AIR ROUTES
NOW RUNNING
BY MILTON BRONNER.

PARIS, Jan. 4.-France fears Ger
many is preparing for another inva-
sion-by air
French publicists set forth that the
whole French army. occupying the
left bank Of the Rhine, is in danger
because IL doesn't control the air
routes.
They picture a vast fleet OF German
civilian airplanes and alrships, easily
converted to war purposes, crossing
the French frontier on the slightest
pretext and wiping out Paris by
bombs.
Germany is preparing for civilian
air exploitation as soon as per-
mitted.
The Versailles treaty forbids Ger
many having military or naval air
forces.
Recently, because Germany delayed
in surrendering warplane material,
the Allies forbade aircraft manufac-
tured for civilian purposes until
three months after all such material
is given up.
Germany, resisting, says the Allies
can't impose fresh limitations. She
argues such a ban would wreck her
airplane industry and thus further
cripple her economic strength and
ability 10 pay war indemnities.
However, Germany is willing to al
low the Allies TO inspect civil avia-
ton factories so that any material
which ought to be surrendered can be
delivered.
Despite treaty restrictions and high
gasoline prices, Germany has made
progress in aviation.
The wars end found Germany with
fnaAantag nIaf Iii. d..
weekly. Three elected TO remain in
business, making civilian planes.
These three are Sabldtnig Of Berlin,
Iunkers Of DesSau and FOkkers OF
Schwerin. The Zeppelin works are also
intact.
Although not yet allowed TO manu-
facture. all these plants are keeping
the machinery oiled and have plans
and specifications for new types Of
airplanes well advanced
Six types have been passed by the
lnterallied Commission as civilian,
but permission 10 manufacture has
been withheld.
Nevertheless, air passenger service
between Berlin, Copenhagen and Bre-
men. and between Bremen and Am
sprdam, is being maintained. Also
there are mail lines to Sweden and
Holland.
Il is significant for, Americans that
the leading German air transport
companies have associated them
selves with the Hamburg American
and Norddeutscher shipping compan-
les.
This may have an important bear
ing on Americas future commerce,
as the Allies already are bitterly ieal-
Gus because the Harrtmans and other
American interests have entered into
arrangements with these German com
panies for transatlantic service, thus
extending the sphere OF the Ameri-
can marine and giving it the benefit
OF German technical knowledge.
