Geneva Is Popular.


Then something like the League of
Nations creates special tourist inter-
est in a town otherwise not specially
marked such as Geneva. Switzerland.
Here thousands of Americans go each
year especially in September. when
the League is in session, and the con.
sui there has his duties as host cor
respondingly increased. More Amer
leans are going now to The Hague.

, it's seat.
One noted American financier on
world cruise last Winter was shown
some courtesies by {. consul In Far
Eastern city. At the end of two or
three day stop there, this f1nancier In
a casual way learned that whatever
| the consul had spent would be the
| consul's own expense, and he declared
| to associates on the tour that he IN
| tended to do what he could on his re.
| turn TO America to induce Congress to
grant expense funds to consuls. He
| had no need of entertainment by a
| consul, but in the ordinary course OF
social contacts 1t is unavoidable for
consul to stand his part of the treats,
whatever the treats may be. and not
necessarily using the word treats in
a drinking sense. Doubtless the same
idea is dawning upon other tourists
and public support for fair expense
allowance will be more evident than
might be supposed by n far-off consul
struggling with his personal budget.

THE girls in Paris may be wear

does not in the least amaze Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait. veteran
worker for women's rights. Trous-

which appears in the April mum.
Der Of the Forum magazine, were
a feminine garment to begin with.
"As late as 1914 there were more
women in the world who wore
trousers than skirts, and also
more men who wore skirts than
trousers" says Mrs. Gait. And
her verdict on the girls who want
to wear trousers seems to be Let

Trousers" she says, would be
far less offensive to the sense OF
propriety than bare knees, gar.

Mrs. Gait goes on to suggest the
London fashion trust, which rules
male fashions as rigidly as Paris
does the female, may put men
back into skirts. 1t might not be

Rzine, and answers his own ques-
ton thus:
A heavy tread in men, with
the weight of the body rolling
from one leg to the other; a
quick, provocative step In women,
an over-sureness beaming from
face and body. A kind Of imper-
eonal apparel-clothes which are
good and smart, but which are
detached from the person who
wears them. : see a hard-faced
old matron with a big Paris hat,
put on correctly and dutifully,
and an antique Cashmere shawl
firmness and decorum, horn
trimmed eyeglasses, self-conscious
shoes, and more than all that
the eyes! American eyes are
astoundingly outward looking.
They peer out into the world,
seeming to run in advance of the
brain behind them. They are
often very beautiful in their
eagerness and vivacity, but for a
European they are, almost terrify.
Ing; we fathom a touch of in
sanity in them. Their vigilance
is so unrelaxing, one feels as
tf they would never find rest in
Inward contemplation and never
escape the pressure Of things by
inner seclusion.''

she said under her breath.

You have been through that your

AirpIdne Designers
Defy Old Principles

BERLIN tP)-Principles which have
thus far been regarded as automatic
by airplane designers have been stood
on head by the firm Of Focke-Wulf
of Bremen in the construction Of a
new type of heavier-than-air ma
chine. .
The new plane gives the impress
sion of flying backward, for its con-
trolls are in front and the motor and
wings behind The pilot faces in the
direction of the tail.
The inventors claim for the new
type known as duck" that it obvi-
ates any possibility of capsizing.
More important still, they say, the
brakes can be applied suddenly and
quickly when the plane reaches the
ground without the danger Of its
turning a somersault. This is Of in
estimable value in the case OF forced
landings on small fields.
When the duck" was demonstrated
recently, Director Wulf piloted and
showed his confidence in the stabil-
ity of his invention by folding his
arms and letting the machine run
alone for while.
