AIRCRAFT ARE A
 BOON TO BUSINESS
Importance of Aeronautical De- yelopment Stressed by Speakers

Detroit, Oct. II (By Associated Press) The importance of aeronau- tical development from the stand point of the nations bankers, the United States postal service, and the businessmen of the country was stressed here today by speakers at the First National Air Institute. The institute was preliminary to the Pu- litzer races and Aero Congress, that begin tomorrow and continue through Saturday.
 The institute was participated in by the Aeronautical Chamber of Com merce, the American Society of Me- chanical Engineers and Society of Automotive Engineers. the American Bar Association and National Aircraft Underwriters Association.
 Commercial banks of the country need aviation because development of this science would be a spur to busi- ness, Lewis E. Pierson, chairman of the board of directors of the Irving National bank of New York city, told the institute. The continent soon will be spanned by mail planes in from 2S to 30 hours. Paul Henderson second assistant postmaster general, told the institute.
 T see in the airplane a means of transportation destined to be equally as important in the future life of our country as is the steam locomotive and automobile" he said. "The peo- pie are entitled to the advantage of additional speed in handling the mails in the advantage now offered in the form of improved airplanes"
 The speaker said his department hoped soon to move mail by airplane continuously from New York to San Francisco.
 The businessmen of the nation are demanding speed and for this reason the air transport is challenging the attention of commerce and industry as new factor in the national busi- ness problem, declared J. Rowland Bibbins, manager of the department of transportation and communica- tions of the U. S. Chamber of Com nlerce.
 Edmund Ely of New York, presi- dent of the National Aircraft Under writers Association, another speaker, declared the country's insurance con- flying declaring such thrills have re- suited in accidents that retarded de- of American aviation.

GOVT. INSISTS ON
 LAW ENFORCEMENT
Lays Especial Emphasis on Desirabil- ity of Enforcing Dry and
 Drug Acts

Washington, Oct, 1.-The govern ment stressed In argument in the su- preme court today the importance in the enforcement of the prohibition and anti narcotic acts of a ruling by the highest court that all articles aboard vessels entering American ports including those whose importa- ton is forbidden. be formally report ed to the customs offices.
 The case at issue reached the court in an appeal brought by the govern ment from an adverse decision in the lower federal courts in proceedings brought against Wesley L. sischo who in operating a vessel upon the Pacific coast failed to enter his customs man. ifest or otherwise state the presence aboard of narcotics. The substance of the ruling of the lower court was that the importation of certain drugs having been prohibited Sischo had violated no law in not reporting that there was opium aboard.
 The government today emphasized the importance from its viewpoint, es- pecially under the recent ruling of the attorney general relative to intoxicat- ing liquors aboard vessels entering American ports of complete report to customs officials which would show enforcement officers at glance whether there was any liquor aboard either in the ships stores or in the possession of any of the men of the crew.

IN THE MATER OF MORALS
Wrong Assumption That City People Have Anything Like Monopoly
 oF WIckednesS.

The fiction of the wickedness of cities has been largely created by country men, and they ought to know. Much of what is evil in every large town is particularly reserved for wis iting farmers. The theatrical mana ger who puts on a salaeiouS show 1n- variably has the Out-Of-town trade chiefly in mind, writes Heywood BrOun in Judge. The book agent, stocked up with secret court me- moirs and drOll stories and such like, never thinks of attempting sale until he has made train trip or at least a long trolley ride.
 We do not mean to contend, of course, that these books fail to attract much attention in town, because of the city dwelIers militant purity of heart He has no such thing, but he possesses something almost as good as virtue. He is little jaded. What point is there in reading about Pompadour when there is so much interesting gossip to discuss concern ing the tenant who has just taken apartment 5-A7 No, country people are not 6 bit better than city folk. They may have slightly smaller number of sins actually committed to their credit, but that is not the result of virtue, but merely of ineptitude.

AneIsnt Lawn of Combat.

When the law of combat was adopt ed a regular code of rules was drawn. Gentlemen fought on horseback and villains (thOse who performed menial labor) fought on foot and with cudgels, as swords were not permitted them. Hence it came about that the cudgel or club was looked upon as a weapon of insults and affronts. None but these interiors fought with faces uncovered, so that they alone could receive blow upon the face. Therefore box on the ear or a slap on the face became an insult, because the one who received the indignity had been treated as an inferior.
 In those days if one did not answer a summons a challenge was issued. Everything was considered on the basis of honor. If one person declared another had committed a certain act and the opponent told the accuser he lied, the judge ordered a duel, Thus 1t became the rule that when one per son gave the lie to another he had to fight for 1t.

CALLS HALT ON OLD JOKES
Writer Thinks 1t Time That Some ot the WeII-Worn Wittlcisms
 Were Scrapped.

Correspondent in one of the papers makes a strenuous protest against hu- mOrists constantly using jokes that have grown whiskers
 Why" says he, do they always refer to live, alert, progressive Phila- delphia as sleepy tOwn?"
 Really, we can't tell. Last time we were there we didn't get to bed all night. The Pen and Pencil club never closes.
 "What fat man." asks the corre- spOndent, lever searches for a collar button? What man ever gets down on his knees to propose to a~bobbed-haired girl?" and he concludes, ''the average mOther-1n-law is no more troublesome than any other individual"
 And he's right. All these old-time jokes should be scrapped but the task will take some time.
 You see, it's this way. When the man who writes jokes comes to the office in the morning with q headache or indigestion, or touch of the grip, he doesn't feel very funny; indeed, he doesn't. But he has to get out his stuff, and if he can land on something about Philadelphia or mOther-in-law, etc, and can give it new twist, he grabs it, so as to save time and an. gUish for himself.
 He shouldn't do this. of course; but he is only human like the rest of Us, and, on the level, it's no cinch invent ing new jokes. Most joke writers grow bald early, and there's reason.
 And there is no rest for joke writ CT When he's off duty he starts to think of jokes for the next day, and sometimes when his thinking appara- tus Is not in good working order he is liable to ring in something on The old collar button or the man on bend- ed knees proposing to t1apper, and being unable to arise on account of rheumatism, until assisted by her fath- er who hates him. and gives him the grand rush.
