all. Indeed, we set pleasant fools up In
high places to award wages based not
on earnings but on a workman's needs,
and we called the pleasant fools judges
and gave their decisions the force OF
law. All that nonsense has to stop
The people from whom we borrowed to
pay what We didn't earn have buttoned
up their pockets. Now, therefore, the
community has to earn what it gets.
But, unhappily, that does not mean
that the individual will get what he
earns. Indeed, he cannot get what
he earns so long as there are hordes of
people who are getting more than they
earn, and thousands more who are get
ting something and earning nothing.

French Education
Being Revised in Alsace.
lie Matin, Paris.-French education
is meeting with a general revival in
AlSace, though in the rural commune
ties formerly occupied by the Germans
it may take as long to teach the deni-
zens the Gallo tongue as it required the
previous generation to learn German.
The University of Strasbourg, however,
which before the war never had more
than 1900 students, now has an aver
age annual enrolment of 5000. AS the
center of French culture in the recov-
cred territory the complete restoration
OF the French language seems, however,
eventually assured.

Plane Equipped
With Skis for Movie Work
Neues Wiener Abendblatt, Vienna
The German flyer, Udet, has flown over
the Trent Glacier, at an elevation OF
5000 meters in the Mont Blanc group,
with double decker equipped with
Snowshoes (skis) instead of wheels.
This modification enabled Herr Udet to
make a successful landing upon pla-
teau OF snow near the summit in con-
junction with the operation of French
studio expedition filming different
aspects of the glacier. Until Herr
Udet's spectacular feat, no one with
the camera party had been able to
get near enough to take pictures of the
moving ice-stream, though endeavoring
to do so for several weeks. The flyer
also brought supplies of food to the
Isolated party, Whose provisions were
running low
Herr Udet probably will take the
members of the party back to Chamonix
In successive flights of his plane.
