HERE'S YOUR AIRPLANE

An airplant that rises straight up in the air and descends
slowly the same way, instead Of requiring a large landing
feldl
Such an invention, the long-sought goal OF aviators' is
said to have been perfected by Louis Brennan, Engnsnman,
assisted by the British air ministry.
Brennan's airplane, of the helcopter type, can stand still
in the air 30 minutes, in a wind blowing up to ~ miles an nour.
So claim people who saw it tested out.
Such an invention would revolutionize flying:
You can now buy a good airplane, one that is reasonably
safe. as cheaply as you can buy a good auto.
The obstacle that has kept the airplane from coming INTO
general use is the necessity of having a big landing heid to
glide over before rising into the air or when descending.
If Brennan's machine does what is clarmed Tor H. thi'
obstacle is eliminated.
For instance, you would keep your plane in a garage VIII
a roof opening like a trapdoor. Climb into your machine
soar straight ND. go where you want to, come back, descend
slowly in a straight line, settling gently back INTO the garage.
Even if Brennan's invention does not turn out as eX,
nected. it is only a question of time until such a device VIII
be perfected. Experiments by other hehcopter operators make
this certain. =,

ALTITUDE ON THE BONUS

Knowing full we'll that the bonus bill as it now stands
Before congress will never become a law, the senators are
following in the footsteps of the members of the lower
House in taking up valuable time debating it, and eventually
they intend to pass it. President Harding is standing firm in
his determination to veto the measure if it does not provide
a way to raise the money that will have to be paid to the ex-
service men. 1t is also we'll known that congress will not
pass the bill over the Presidents veto.
1t is not the bonus bill that congress is engaged in pass
ing at this time so much as it is a case of passing the buck
1T is politics pure and simple. Members of congress who
have to go before the country this fall for reelection are
panic-stricken. They are trying to buy their way into con-
gress for another term on fake promises.
Congress figured that the President, not being a candl-
date this year, can assume the responsibility for killing the
bonus bill better than congress. But the point is, the Presi-
dent is not opposed to a bonus bill and is ready to approve a
measure that is sound financially.
The great difference between the Presidents attitude
on the bonus and the attitude of the majority in congress is
.tirak the President wants to be of real assistance to the
bldiers for he would not only agree to pay them a bonus,
/ would provide the means for getting the money so that
re would be no doubt about them getting it. Congress
the other hand, is long on the promise, but terribly short
the fulfllment so that by the time the fall election comes
md and the soldiers have had time to think it over, they
discover that, after all, the President was their real
I'D in the bonus matter, whereas congress put across a
proposition which everybody knew was worthless from
beginning.

THE CASE OF THE CORSET
TOLD OF BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j.. Haskin.

NEW YORK CITY, June 9.-Ths
feminine corset, which heretofore
has always been subjected to the
harshest criticism and ridicule, is
now suddenly being endorsed by
prominent physicians. 1t is, they
say. a necessity to every woman, and
should not be discarded.
Throughout the centuries women
have worn this curious appliance in
one form or another. in spite OF
persistent jibes and protests from
the masculine sex. because each
changing fashion demanded 1t. Now
for the first time in many long years
the corset is practically out of style,
and the tide of professional criticism
is turning Unexpectedly in it's favor.
DIR. Royal S. Copeland, Health
Commissioner of New York City,
says that he cannot urge too strong
~ upon women the advisability OF
wearing corsets. He declares that they
have worn them for so many hun
dreds of years hat they have come
to need them, and many serious dis
orders are apt to result from their
a abandonment.
DIR. Adolf Lorenz, the famous VII
emma surgeon, who spent last winter
in New York, also adds his recon-
OF the corset.
Every woman should wear a cor
set" he says. 1T not only braces
vital organs that need bracing, but
it is a preventive of spinal trou-
bles."
OF course DR.. Lorenz does not
advocate a return to the old wasp
WASTED high corsets which cramp
the body and prevent free move
ment of the muscles. He believes
that the all important consideration
is that the corset should in every
instance be a perfect fit, perhaps
even modelled after casts made from
the person who is to wear it.
Yet it is doubtful if DIR. Lorenz'
advice will make much of an i'm
preston upon the rising generation
of young women, as long as the cor
set remains out of style. Just as
their Observation-Disclosures insisted
that they were healthy and COM
Portable with 13-inch waists even
while they swooned, so the modern
prom girls are prepared to risk the
gravest anatomical injuries rather
than be ~stigmatized as "Old Iron
sidos" at the college dances.
The corset controversy las ragged
CONTINUOUSLY from the very earliest
times, and always fashion has pre-
vailed over health. The date of the
first appearance of the corset is not
known, but among the art works dis
covered in the ruins of one of the
mysterious forest cities of South
America, whose history is lost in re-
mote antiquity, there is a bas-relief
representing a female figure which
shows Enthusiastically that a contri-
vance similar to the modern corset
was then in use. This consisted of

bandage, which by a system Of cir

What to do.to take
Up Social Service
BY LILLIAN ID. WALD
Head Worker, Henry Street Settle
ment, New York

mcut, new 1Ofk
To young people who have not
yet discovered for themselves their
| itness for a definite work in life,
but whose thoughts are turning to-
ward social service, I should say
that it is desirable to find out
whether your interest in social serv-
ice has deep roots; whether you
care for children and for people
outside your immediate family
circle.
A social worker must be able to
think of the community from the
individual approach, not from the
| personal.
Superficial interest does not carry
j one many steps, but the little light
of interest may be the indication of
a fire that burns or that a be
kindled into a real fire. II nothing
in your childhood or your tastes m
| dicates this concern, l should say
that you had better enter into a vo-
| cation that is impersonal.
Naturally, young students have
had very little opportunity to de-
! velop personal contacts outside OF
their immediate family and school
circles, but when you have reached
the age of graduation you will know
whether you "a a sympathetic.
and the beginnings of an intellect
ual, grasp of social problems.
Let no n think. however, that
education Is completed when the di-
ploma is presented, for the high
school education is the minimum of
academic preparation and the fur
ther training in college, in travel or
in special cultural studies, when re-
lated to life. develops intellect and
character. They are all excellent
preparation for the great work with
men and women and particularly
with little children.
Having received the minimum
academic education, there are
schools in the larger cities where
the would-be social worker may get
training in the handling of special
problems.
There is a great avenue open to
women in nursing. The educated
woman who enters the training
school for nurses has still the priv
l.ilege of doing pioneer work in the
public health field.
1t may not be generally under
stood that the college woman who
takes the business training and ste
biography is more likely to get secre-
tarial positions with distinguished
social workers. and from that expe-
rience and contact greater oppor-
tunities develop.
When you graduate, whether you
are thinking of going into social
service professionally, or not, try to
make your contact with leaders and
be ready to take orders and serve
an apprenticeship. Social service
work is not laboratory work. and
practical psychology and ability to
be of service to people is built upon
experience and contact.
If you really have it within you.
attach yourself to some social
agency or settlement house, volun-
teer your services and make them
genuinely valuable. Out of that ex-
p%erience you will be able to demon
strate your aptitude and will realize
the basic principles of social work.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
take the liberty to address a Few

cost thereof. 1 am a subscriber ol

| from the Schneider newsstand ana
in reading the article on the gar
| page collection, l was surprised u
see the statement that New Bruins
wick is paying $4,000 per annun
for the collection OF garbage
1 do not know where TINS STATE.
| ment originated but l do know that
your aldermen have been in con
s~ultation with the local
and they were told that $62'ooo mas
been appropriated for the street ue-
partment which does not mean the
collection of garbage n ashes
alone, but the cleaning OF streets,
operation of incinerator. salary OF
dump men and operators at the IN
Generator, office held in the stree'
department and even TO the salary
of the street commissioner.
These figures can be verlneid py
calling Commissioner d,
Houghton of the Department OF
Street and Public Improvements AS
your city is still behind the tihies
in municipal government your Al
dermen probably do not know o a
Commission Government Is u
nanced.
I was further surprised to earn
that it is going to cost Perth Ampoy
the sum of approximately S5o'ooo
for the collection of garbage n
ashes for one year. Perth Ampoy
has only a population OF some
1900 while New Brunswick mas
a population of approximately 49,
600 and this number does not IN
clude the students enrolled at the
New Jersey State Women's College
Rutgers College, New Jersey state
Experiment Station, County Record
building county Jail and court house.
l mention these institutions De
cause of the fact that in the WIN
ter ashes must be collected from
each of them, which runs into the
tons. and in the summer time and
winter garbage must be collected
from the majority of these buildings.
L.might also state that the city does
not get one penny tax from these
institutions, the garbage and ashes
being collected free.
But to mention these facts Is only
rambling fro nj what I want to say.
1 am told that Perth Anboy spends
$4,000 for the cleaning Of the
streets of ashes and garbage or a
total of $145,000.
1 would like you to compare
that figure with $4,000 which is
the total amount expended in New
Brunswick for the collection OF
ashes and garbage, cleaning OF
streets, operation of ineinerator
plant, etc. When you say that New
Brunswick spends $4,000 for collec-
ton of garbage alone, you are stat
ing something that is not ture.
For your information, l might
say that ashes and garbage are
collected twice a week from every
building in the city. The collection
in the business section is three times
a week and one night collection Is
made of papers and combustiole
material.
In addition to this excellent SER
vice, the street department cleans
