Well Behaved Prisoners.

To THE New YORK HERALD: The
fault Of the parole system seems to be
that a prisoner is automatically entitled
to parole II in a certain time he scores
a certain number of marks for good
behavior.
II a man is sentenced. say, for five
years, let him serve hve years. and II
he does not behave properly let his SEN
tence be extended.
When a man finds himself in jail he
will do what he can to get his release as
soon as possible. and It seems to me
that good behavior is no indication OF
reformation.
So thing more than good oenavior
should required for a parole.

Gunners in the Jungle.
Battery A, Fourth Field Artillery,

The battery left Gatun on the morn

trail at the west end OF the Gatun dam.
This trail for the first few miles Is

Ono of the leading mules broke
through a rough bridge over the Indlo
River. carrying the entire bridge with
him and necessitating the building OF a
new nifty foot bridge. This delayed the

Spring Motor Regeneration.

This is the time OF year when the
winters savings and the family mo-
tor car come out Of dead storage.
For the novice proudly plotting his
first purring, glistening pet down
the ramp Of the new car emporium
the se&kon possesses nothing but vir-
gin joy. Himself and his new bus
have not yet been the subject of pub
lie discourse by case hardened traf-
flc cop. But for the older hands
who have learned from experience
the difference between a driftpin and
a drag link the spring motor regen-
Grafton is an occasion which inspires
mingled feelings of awe and hope.
The apprehension that is aroused
by the knocks and groans heard as
the motor starts, II II starts; the pain
that is felt in the pecuniary region
at the outlay for oil and gas and
other incidentals too numerous to
mention; the disgust at the dried up
shoe which "blows" before the car
has budged an inch, are agonies
which the experienced motorist knows
await him when he opens the garage
door to admit himself and the mel
low glow of the spring sun.
Yet the thoroughbred motor fiend
is not easily dismayed. He might
wish he were a forlorn investor in
wildcat stocks instead of the hapless
owner OF an obstreperous motor when
the mechanic called into consultation
removes plug and calmly remarks,
mo. Is shootin' OIL" But the lure
OF the road is strong, and the motor
man strangles in his bosom fierce
oesire to lay bare the innards OF the
thing with sledgehammer. He car
ries on with patience and self-control
until the thumps and knocks travel
out through the muffier along with
the carbon solvent.
Every slave OF the gasoline trail
in these parts knows that IL his
motor still can make the Fort Lee
hill on the Jersey side in high she's
good for another season at least.
Subject to this condition a layer OF
color and some varnish for the fend-
ers and full flowing coat OF a good
spar or finish on the body win put
any pre-dehation car in shape for
another ten thousand miles.

Flappers Studied.
A Passing Feminine Phase Observed
in an Elevated Train.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: After
reading your editorial article about The
Invincible FTapper" permit me TO inject
myself into the discussion.
On an elevated railroad train IN the
seat ahead OF me sat two middle aged
women who carried on an animated con-
versation, accompanied by severe looks
at a seat ahead OF them and across the
aisle. Listening In on them ] discov-
cred the object OF their excoriations to
be two fiappers not yet OF age.
Casting my eyes over into the direc-
tion of the flappers noticed the follow
ing makeup: Whether they were twins
by birth or only for fashions sake
could not tell. but they we're dolled up
alike. For headgear they wore tight
Egyptian turbans OF tiny tafreta folds
with a bow caught under a circle OF
smail coral beads and finished Off in
spangles OF various hues. Then henna
coIored cape coat. man tailored, novel
slots In back and patch pockets, partly
hid blouse OF the same goods, cut low.
Next I saw a knee length skirt OF
semi-dia phanous knitted silk over knick-
ers Of like material and ccior Then
came openwork ciocked silk stockings
in beige. and finally pumps with two
straps and baby Louis heels. All In
all these two BUTTERFLIES were Just bit
more extreme, more unconccrneiIy smart
and more casually dashing than anybody
else. and their dresses were pulled up
tight at front and back and held at the
hips with fancy clasps.
Their hair was done up in cute little
rolls. their cheeks beautifully rougcd !;
noses. chins and necks artistically pow
dcred: their hands and fingers mani
cured. and they carried pouch shaped
Jacquard silk handbags fitted with
mirror and change purse. Across the
laps lay strap wrist gloves with a sin
ale pearl button and Gun In long seven
point effect to match tho entire makeup.
When the seat behind them was vacant
I sat in II and listened In on their con-
versatlon. IL was about nothing else
bit dresses, hair ribbons and the like.
MY idea thus obtained OF flappers was
they are like the unnatural but gor-
geously beautiful flowers in a horticul-
tural exposition. pleasing TO look upon
but not lasting. and only to cause an
"Oh, myl" or What ncxt?" Sensible.
level headed young men will hardly
associate themselves for any great
length OF time with one OF this species.
When flappcr docs marry she is likely
very soon to revert 70 normalcy or 20
20 by way Of tho divorce courts Flap
pcrs arc evidently costly TO maintain.
Nevertheless do not condemn them az

The Bolshevists' Demand.

Cunning as some of the Russian
tactics at Genoa have been, Satur-
days performance leaves the world
to wonder whether the Bolshevik
delegates know the difference be-
tween boldness and absurdity. Ger
tainly their demand for SIS 100000,
900 from the Allies as damages for
the Denikine and other expeditions
and for the loss of Bessarabia would
be regarded as a joke if the Genoa
conference were place for jesting.
AS the amount Of this demanr Is
two and one-half times as much as
the Allies claim from Russia the
spectacle is presented of the winners
OF the war being called upon for
Yeparations by a nation which inglo-
riously quit the struggle at time
when its detection meant many more
months of bloodshed and many more
millions of spent treasure. The rep
resentatives Of the men who, after
nearly wrecking the Allies cause.
proceeded to wreck Russia herself.
now present themselves as aggrieved
parties.
Such demand as this would have
been answered by Napoleon or a
Bismarck with an epigram. But Mr..
LLOYD GEORGE, who knows that he is
at business meeting and talks the
language OF business, takes the de-
mand seriously enough to refuse 1t
and to warn the Russians that they
must yield to the program OF the
Allies relative to Russia's debts, liza
bilities and responsibilities: other
wise negotiations will come to an
end so far as Russian affairs are
concerned.
This refusal will not drive the
Russians away. They know that the
future Of Russia and, indeed, the fate
of the present government, depend
upon the resumption OF business with
the outer world. The other States
of Europe need Russia, but not as
badly as Russia needs them. The
Russian delegation should indulge
in no more absurdities il 1t wishes
to be taken seriously and to keep
what prestige 1t has attained at the
Genoa conference.

Air Transport in Europe.

Since the war political and physt
cal handicaps to railway travel in
Europe have been tantamount to dis
elimination in favor of air transport,
which knows neither the limitations
OF international boundaries nor the
time consuming factor of overworked
and in many cases decrepit rolling
stock. Tue result of this uninten-
tIonal though none the less real sub
vention Of air transport has been
the development, especially in France,
Of commercial flying services that al
ready are in fair way to rival the
fast railway trains for passenger and
express traffic.
The French Air Ministry reports
that the distance covered by French
commercial planes alone in 1921 was
nearly 100000 miles. Flights by
these planes numbered 5000, passen-
gers carried were 10.330, merchandise
freight weighed 366,27S pounds and
postal matter 20,75S pounds. The fig
ures for passengers and cargoes are
three times as large as those Of 1920
and ten times those of 1919.
There are eight companies in
France operating air routes, which
radiate in all directions from Paris.
1t is now possible to take off from
the French metropolis in plane of
any one of the eight companies any
day in the week and reach London,
Amsterdam, Prague, Warsaw, Nice,
Barcelona, Alicante, Malaga, Bilbao
or Havre. In most cases the return
trip can be made by regular service
in single day.
In 1922 the subsidy for the French
commercial air service is 41,3S2.000
francs, or about S4,000,0O0. England
comes second to France in CONNER
cial air transport, but the English
service is limited to regular daily
trips between London and Paris.
Other journeys are arranged accord
ing to demand.
The British commercial air subsidy
for 1922 is 1900, 900, or about $500, 900,
half OF it to be used for new planes
available to operating companies on
hire basis. Dutch, Belgian and Ger
man commercial air schedules dove
tail into those OF French and British
companies. making a fairly complete
network over the whole continent
with the exception Of Russia and
points in the extreme southeast OF
Europe.
From London to Paris by rail and
boat the fare is 1888 and the travel
ing time hours and 30 minutes. The
trip by air costs S30.66 and the travel
ing time is 1 hour and As minutes.
For a trifie more than one and one
half times the railway fare the trip
can be made by air at a saving Of
four hours and forty-ffve minutes
in time.
In other instances air travel is
more expensive. The trip from
Mines to Nice, in southern France,
costs $50, which is at the rate Of just
about three times the mile charge
from Paris to London.
Notwithstanding this regulation of
air tariffs, according to the exigen-
cies of competition rather than the
value of service rendered, air trans
port in Europe is being developed for
the most part on strictly sound prin-
ciples. Just enough Government en-
couragement is given to keep the
spark Of ambition from being smoth-
cred under unavoidable financial
losses due to the hazards Of this new
common carrier enterprise. -

following remedy would IN my opinion
be effective as a crime preventive and
would lessen needless expense to tax
payers: For holdup men and robbers
using guns, twenty iashes with the cat
o'-nine tails, well laid on, and not less
than twenty-five years in prison. There
would soon be a decided drop in crimes
OF this kind, for the cat is the only
