WHERE AIR LANES CROSS,

The collision Of the two Paris-London
express passenger planes in mid-air was
a timely warning of a danger to which
aviation is peculiarly subject
Many people talk lightly of the time
when the sky will be as full of airplanes
as the earth now is of motor cars, not
realizing the difficulties of aerial traf-
fic. The London-Paris route was defin-
itely mapped out with going and com
ing planes supposed to be separated by
a safe margin, but somehow the planes
drifted together in a fog. If that hap
pens when there is only an occasional
pair of planes overhead at the same
time, what may happen as the air be-
comes thronged with them?
1t is true that the air has three di-
mansions, while the land or sea has
only two. Planes may go up or down
to avoid each other, as we'll as to right
or left, and there may be several differ
ent levels established for different types
of air traffic.
Yet there is always a far greater
chance of getting off the route in the air
than on the water or on land. 1t will
be long before fogs, air pockets and
currents are mastered if they ever are,
to insure as great safety above as is. pos
sible now here below
All the more reason, though, for start
ing in without further delay to work out
air traffic rules and safety appliances.
America is strangely slow in this re-
gard.

A tree toad loved a she toad
That lived in a tree:
She was a three-toed tree toad,
But a two-toed tree toad was he,
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The she toad's friendly nod;
For the two-toed tree toad loved the
ground
That the three-toed tree toad trod;
But vainly the two-toed tree toad tried
He couldn't please her within:
In her tree toad bower, with her Vtoed

The she toad vetoed him.

Only One Safe Rule.
BARRE Times. J

Within the last few weeks three Yer
mont women have been burned to death,
and in two of the cases the cause was
the use of kerosene to start up back
ward fires There is only one safe rule
to follow and that is, never pour kero-
sene on after match has been applied
TO the material in the stove or furnace.
Repeated warnings of the dire results
likely to follow the breaking of that safe
rule should have a certain restraining eff
feet on such rank carelessness.

chairman of special committee, ask

families whose names and the ages OF
the children in each had been supplied
by Mrs. H. E. Robinson, Red Cross
secretary. As result every family
on the list will be cared for.
Caldwell Elks are to provide Christ
mas things for those at the county

industrial school at St. Anthony from
this territory are also included on the
list of those to be remembered by this

Caldwell business houses will not

would do. This, Of course, does not
include stores normally open on Fri

last shopping day of the Christmas
season.
Local department stores have added

High School Students
Hurry to Make up Work
Special Afternoon Class Organized to
Get Delinquents Back Into Good
Grace With Instructors.

Time to get in and dig if you want
to make your grades this semester"
is virtually the edict sent out by ]. J.
Rae to high school students who at
the end of the second six weeks per-
iod were found to have grades below
passing in one or more subjects.
In this roundup of those who are
slipping, parents were notified and
the usual school day was increased
one hour for the benefit of these STU
dents AS result of this action, at
tendance at the eighth period assem-
bly,, devoted to special study, jumped
from seven to LIS. Attendance at
this special period is compulsory with
those who were behind in one or more
subjects. Because several members of
the high school basket ball squad are
among the members of the special
class, regular practice has been post
poned from three until four o'clock
each afternoon by Coach R. M. Berry,
