Air Transport

More than 28OOO,0O0 miles have been
flown in Europe and the United States
to January 1, 1925, in regular SEIZED
uled air service, and in six years more
than 100000 pounds have been car
ried by aircraft over established
routes, writes J. Parker Van Zandt of
the Department of Commerce in the
Journal of the Society of Automotive
Engineers. A careful analysis of this
experience will give us the facts that
we so much need regarding the air
traffic program, continues Mr.. Van
Zandt, who made a special trip to
Europe during the summer of 1924 to
investigate the commercial air serv-
Ices there.

ODD PENALTIES FOR
LAPSE FROM GRACE
Ridicule Once Held EfectiUe
Punishment.

The "drunkard's cloak" as a punish
ment was the system once adopted by
the magistrates OF Newcastle-U Upon
Tyne in order to cure drunken persons.
and as the "cloak" consisted of a
barrel with holes for the head and
hands, the delinquent, who was forced
to parade the streets wearing it, would
attract considerable attention to his
lapse.
Similarly the stocks, once used so
extensively for the punishment of
petty offenders, were so arranged that
the culprits generally received more
ridicule than sympathy, and probably
our forefathers considered that pub
licity was likely to discourage wrong
doing. In 1875 a petition was pre-
sented Edward III requesting that
stocks should be established in every
village, and, later on, each parish was
so provided. These relics of a bygone
punishment are still seen by the way
side.
The whipping post was sometimes
an accompaniment of the stocks; &C.
casionally the whipping was done lat
the carts TAIL" Titus Oates, for In
stance, as ordered to be whipped
from Aidgate to Newgate, and, two
days later, from Newgate to Tyburn.
Our ancestors were severe on the
woman scold, and the punishment
meted out to her was drastic. One
known as the Drank was sugar-loaf-
shaped fixture for the head, con-
structed of iron hopping, with a cross
at the top. A fiat piece of iron pro-
1ected inwards, which was placed on
the woman's tongue. She was then led
about the streets wearing this unique
head dress.
The duckling stool was built and
used in this wise. A post was erected
In pond, and beam, working on
swivel, was affixed thereto. A chair
was then fastened to the BEAM and
the refractory woman was placed in
the chair. She was then swung over
the pond and Immersed in the water,
the operation being repeated 'as often
as the virulence Of the distemper re-
CURED" This punishment Is also said
to have been inflicted upon brewers
and bakers who violated the laws.
The pillory was another instrument
of punishment where the offender was
exposed to public view. 1t generally
consisted of wooden frame or screen,
raised from the ground, and with holes
for the head and arms of the person
condemned to stand therein.
But of all these wayside spectacles
surely the gibbet would be the most
revolving. It might be regarded as
comforting sight to the relations and
friends of the deceased" to see that
justice had been done and the MUIR
derer's body suspended by the road
side, but 1t would be a CHASTITY sight
for other people.

LEGION ACTIVE IN
WELFARE SERVICE

Active work in the setting up Of
American Legion child welfare service
in various states, reaching down from
the children's welfare division Of ma
tional headquarters to the local COM
munity, Is being pushed rapidly.
The first states in which organization
work is being completed are New
Hampshire, Washington and Oregon.
State conferences have been held in
Utah and Colorado, with Tennessee
scheduled to go. Preliminary confer
ences have been held In Kansas and
Kentucky, with Illinois, Indiana and
Iowa next In line.
The aim Of the division, according
TO John w. Gorby Of the division staff,
is to organize representative states in
various sections of the country, which
typify as widely different conditions
as possible. When the organization is
completed, 1t will cover the entire ma
tiCn.
The first organization meeting was
he'll In New Hampshire with keen in
terest. Eighty per cent of the coun-
ties Of the state were represented,
two men driving 200 miles from the
Canadian border to attend.
New Hampshire Is being organized
on district plan, except in the large
cities where community chairmen and
committees will be chosen. Local
committees, Mr.. Gorby states, will find
dependents Of veterans and ascertain
their condition, report on needy chill
dren, find foster homes and take other
steps to meet their need and, with
Miss Emma c. Puschner, national
field secretary, have supervision of
children who have been placed in fos-
ter homes.
Under no circumstances" Mr.. Cor
by said, will the Legion duplicate the
work Of worthy existing social agen-
cles. Wherever 1t is possible, the Lee
giOn will carry on its work through
agencies already set up, whether by
the state or by private initiative"
Arthur CrOteau of Marlboro has
been named state chairman for New
Hampshire. DR.. H. X. Benson, head
of the chemistry department of the
University of Washington at Seattle,
has accepted the craftsmanship in that
state. Judge Jacob Kanzler Of Port
land, for Is years on the juvenile
court bench there, is Oregon chairman
Richard w. Burton of the staff Of the
Columbia Trust company at Salt Lake
City, is chairman for Utah.

Few Women in Poorhouses

There are more men in poorhouses

the women are harder to handle than

The Right Breed

This summer, for the first time,
Ellen lived on farm. The rest of her
four years had been spent in an In
dianapolis flat.
Naturally, she was much interested
In the farm animals, especially the
cows. So, when some Holsteins which
her father had just purchased came
slowly down the lane one evening,
Ellen watched them almost breathless-
ly. AS the last one passed, she jumped
and exclaimed ecstatically: ooh, mann
ma! Every last one Of those new cows
had a crossword puzzle on her."

will Get Our Rights"
Says Past Commander

John r. Quinn, past national COM
mander of the American Legion, in a
recent address deprecating the atti-
tude of many toward the veteran of
the World war, said:
Wen get our rights; we'll get all
our rights in the end: but of course
Wen have to work for them. Human
nature, you see, is human nature, and
there's lot of people like the grocer.
THE grocer said as the young hero
Of Chateau-Thierry limped out from
the grocery or his clutches with q half
pound of rice under his arm:
THAT boy deserves credit for his
surpassin' bravery, but wish to good
ness he'd stop coming 70 my store to
git It.
