4 ADVENTUROUS
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

The Fairy Queen sent word to the
Twins by Silver Wings, one of her
fairy messengers, that if Mr.. Dusty
Coat, the Sandman, would spare them
and take care of Dreamland by him
self for little while, she would like
very much to have them help her in
another part of her kingdom.
So, leaving Dreamland CATER say
ing goodby' to Dusty Coat who said
ne could manage alone nicely) Nancy
and Nick wished themselves at the
Fairy Queens palace. al
The good queen was on her throne,
looking ever so upset about some
thing, and before her stood funn,
little man in blue cap and a blue
coat with a row of buttons down the
front. Only he was holding his cap
in his hands now, as one never
stands before queen with his hat
on.
"Mr Stamps, this is Nancy and
Nick, the TWins told you about
the queen said "Children, this Is
Mr.. Stamps, my fairy postman. He
runs the postoffice in Fairyland."
"How do you dol" said NaHcy,
making q courtesy.
"How do you dol" bowed Nick.
"The very best can, thank you,".
sighed Mr.. Stamps, bowling also and
saying he was very delighted to
meet them both.
"Mr. Stamps says he is having q
dreadful time," the Fairy Queen in
formed them. "He says that people
write so poorly he cannot read the
addresses and as result he has to
put all letters in the dead letter
office. That's what they call lost
letters, you know. Do YOU think
you could help him to straighten
out his tangle ?"
"Oh, I'm sure we cam said Nancy.
"Can't we, Nick?"

THE CHILD LABORER

Before congress adjourns it is
urged to adopt the joint resolution
designed to give congress, through
constitutional amendment, power
to limit or prohibit the labor OF
persons under IS years of age. The
announcement proposed does not
itself put any restriction upon
child labor. 1t merely grants a
power to be exercised by congress
which under the recent decision OF
the supreme court, 1t finds, after
two attempts at such restriction,
that it does not have. The pres
ident emphasized in his message
this need of Strengthening the
fundamental law by making pos
sible protection against an evil
which mid not become serious un-
til long after the Constitution was
adopted.
The proposed amendment specifi-
cally provides that power shall also
be reserved to the several states to
limit or prohibit such labor in any
way that does not lessen the force
of the Federal limitation. That all
the states have not hitherto made
use of their right to restrict or
prohibit. enforces the need Of find
ing somewhere an authority that
will safeguard the nations most
precious asset. There are twenty
eight states which, in one respect
or another. fall below the stand
ards-and very moderate ones
they are-adopted by congress in
its two attempts to deal with this
matter in a nationwide way.
Without impairing their, power,
such an amendment as is proposed
would give to congress the author
ity to set up such minimum stand
ards as mora lity, sound economy
and decency suggest.
1t will take long time, several
years at best, to secure the adopt
ion of such an amendment. Mean
while, many children who need
safeguarding from downright
greed or ignorant commerclallsm
will have no protection, unless the
states do their whole duty. These
children will have been doomed
either because of their lack of edu-
cation or their impaired physique.
If this resolution is passed, con-
gress will be enabled to give to
every child in America what should
be considered it's birthright. This
assurance should be given affirma-
lively and constructively. And
there should be an authority en-
powered to upt millstones around
he necks of those who would cause
little ones to stumble" in what
ever part of the United States they

FRANCE RELYING ON AIR SUPREMACY
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Staff Correspondent.

Paris, Jan. 16.-Supremacy in the
air is one of the things that has Civ
en- Rance confidence to proceed in
invading the Ruhr in the attempt to
collect German reparatons.
Since the close of the World War
she has been developing her aviation
forces-both military and civil. New
planes have been built, mechanics
trained and overland services open,
until now France is convinced that
she is supreme.
This beliefe has become part of the
national pride. The cry taken up at
the great aviation exhibition held in
the Grand Palais here, is being
echoed throughout the land, along
the Rhine and across the sea to Mos
rocco where 10 airplane squadrens
are stationed at Rabat. .
Aviation Forces Formidable.
In military aviation France already
has a formidable army. She has pur-
suits regiments, special planes for
day bombing expeditions, other for
night bombing, squadrons for OBJ
servation purposes, balloon and di-
rigible units at strategic points in
France, along the Rhine and in
northern Africa.
Her total military aviation forces
compri e ! $50 officers and $4,000 men
headed by Marshal Fayolle, inspec,
tor general of aeror .utics. The naval
aviation groups consist of so air
planes and the cruiser Bearn sta
toned at oRchefort as an airplanc
carrier.
In civil aviation France also leads
Europe. There are regular passen-
ger, mail and light freight services
between Paris and London, Brussels,
and Constantinople via Strasbourg,
Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade
and Bucharest. There is also line
between Toulouse an Casablanca, in,
Morocco, and between Paris and
Lausanne, Switzerland.
- France probably has more factories
for the manufacture of airplane's,
motors and accessories than any
other nation. She not only has been
aspiring to be in position to meet
all her peace and wartime needs but
has tried to be able to sell to other
nations. She has already supplied
Poland, Rumania and several lesser
nations with their military planes.
u. s. Ranks Second.
The United States is credited here
with being the worlds second great
est military air power, and leader in
the mail aviation service.
Great Britain ranks third, and
Italy, handicapped by poor finances,
poor fourth.
Although Germany is not allowed
to have any. military airplanes, the
French are bit fearful of the Ger
man interests in factories in Switzer-
land, Holland and Russia.
That seems to be one of the mail.
reasons for Frances determination
to remain mistress of the air.

THOSE LITTLE BEAUTY SPOTS
IN THE CITIES

No careful hOuSekeeper WOul1
be satisfied to have one of the front
door steps bright and clean and
the others left grimy with dirt and
SCOT; to have one part of the yard
set with attractive flowers and
shrubs and the other part filled
with rubbish. or to have half the
sitting room floor swept and the
other half Uttered with papers. A
house and yard kept after this
fashion would indicate slovenli-
ness, lack of pride and self-respect
on the part of the owner or dwell
er.
Keeping a city clean and attrac-
tive is merely a job of good house
keeping. How we'll is the work be-
ing performed? An observing
army officer who has been sta
toned first at one city and then an
other writes the Star that one "1s
strinkingly impressed" with the
scant accomplishment of the cities
along the lines of attractiveness.
Our cities have their "show"
streets, he writes, few having
as pretty bOulevards as Kansas
City; but compared to the total
mileage such streets are al a
most insignificant. Arriving at
a city by rail, one may detraln
at a beautiful station, but even
that cannot male one forget
the messy and junk strewn
fv.oy
through for miles from the
outskirts. Drive in by motor,
however wonderful the con-
crete beneath, the roadside US
ually is without trees, and sign
boards without end greet the
arrival. In place of trees there
are several pole lines carrying
hundreds of wire--in short, no
beauty but only ugliness.
How long are the cities going to
be satisfied with their bad house
keeping methods? How long be-
fore it will be realized that acres
Of rubbish, miles of ugliness, junk
heaps. dilapidated buildings are
not ony eyesores but a constant
menace to property values? Why
is carefully restricted property al
ways high class property. sure OF
a ready market at substantial
prices?
Why then restrict only in spots 2
Why not restrict the whole city,
not for residence purposes or a
particular kind of business, but for
all purposes as the development of
the city makes desirable? In other
words, why not have zoning law,
first step in good housekeeping,
in the cities? And then why not
enough civic pride and alertness in
each city district to see that the
district is kept attractive? People
act most readily when their inter
ests are affected Why can it not
be realized that nothing affects the
interests of citizens and property
owners more than the matter of
we'll kept premises. we'll kept
block, district. city as whole?
The American city that takes the
lead in this vital affair will be the
city most likely to flourish in COM
petition with other centers in the
next few decades. s.-Kansas City
