AIRPLANE SAFETY is
PROMISED SOON

THE Guggenheimer fund for the
i promotion of aeronautics pre-
diets that the time is not far dis
tant when absolute safety in air
planes will be attained.
Even now the airplane is rel
atively safe conveyance. Given a
good plane and a qualified pilot,
with decent weather conditions,
there is little risk in flying. But
the public is still bit slow about
trusting itself in the air.
In the near future, however, ac-
cording to the Guggenheimer fund
experts. airplanes will be almost
fool-proof. The development of
commercial and pleasure aviation
that will follow attainment of such
a condition is matter for the
imagination to dwell on. 1t will be
tremendous.

THE FAD OF THINNEss

A LEADING dentist hands out
"A a warning to young girls and
various people who are trying to
reduce their flesh by unreasonable
dieting. He pointed out how they
were denying themselves fruits,
milk, and vegetables, etc., when
they need such foods to preserve
their teeth.
1t is pretty serious thing when
people deny themselves the food
needed to produce strong teeth,
because of desire to cultivate a
slim figure. These young women
are likely to find themselves in
volved in unpleasant dental exper-
fences later, and very likely will
be unable to assimilate the food
which they need for health.

 In an analysis of the dancing trend, Murray declared that dance stops are indicators of public teln- poramcnt and that the 'tonlng down. Of late movements reflects merely the spirit of restraint which is manifest at present in most phases of American life.

Cash subscriptions for the new bonds
will be accepted at par, whereas the

more attractive. All the old Treasury

hand, the third Liberties were higher
because of the interest adjustments and
because of the probable premium that
the new 33ss will command.
