international Air Codes
By Archibald Henderson

The world has moved a long
way in aviation since the inter.
national air convention of 1919.
The fundamental principles
adopted by that convention
were sound, so far as they went.
But new and complicated prob
lens have arisen and continue
to rise; and these must be met
by a series Of new international
agreements. Satisfactory re-
clprocal agreements have been
made between this country and
Canada, especially in the mat
ter Of the exchange Of certifi-
Gates Of airWorthiness. -.
The principal objectives held
In view by American authori-
ties have been the development
Of air lines within our own ma
tional boundaries, and the es-
tablishment of satisfactory rela-
tions and regulations with
neighboring countries, notably
Canada, Mexico and the Central
and South American countries.
The question of commercial
flying vergeS at once upon
foreign relations, traffic, duty
and customs relations, safety IN
transport over foreign soil. ex-
tradition problems, and inter-
national relations generally.
Questions of trade and com.
merce have not yet become
acute, owing to the lack of de-
velopment on a large scale of
aircraft as commerce carriers.
But it is only a question of a
short time before an interna-
tional air congress will have to
meet in order to draft suitable
regulations to govern interna-
tional air communication, Even
for commercial air lines now
the papers to be filled out are
very complicated and elaborate.
For the private flyer upon a
world tour the difficulties and
complications in the matter of
passports are exceedingly tedi-
Gus and irksome.
international air communica-
tion is growing by leaps and
bounds.

Reaching out for something

Every man reaches out. And

reaching itself is not unworthy:
It is the most necessary and

Despise, if you wish, the thing

Already there exists a we'll

North and South America.
just as Europe has established
air lines between the continent
and Asia and Africa, the United

Aviation brings with it the
necessity Of uniform codes. Air
craft in their flight frequently
cross international boundaries,
and non-uniform regulation on
the part of local governments
would prove a deterrent to the
developments of airlines
Their rapid expansion in the
United States has been due in
no small measure to our Fed

local restrictions. The max

Miracle Man Role

Editor, Times:
In news stories and letters
written concerning the death
of CLANCY, the motion pic

fact of interest to the public
of Washington was overlooked
concerning the first important
appearance in motion pictures.
It has been recounted that
MFR. CLANCY along with Betty
Compson and Thomas Meighan
became overnight stars through
their splendid acting in the
perturbation Of The Miracle
Man."
This picture played in Wash

run for a picture in this city.
The old Garden Theater
(now the CentraD on Ninth

And, of course, many of these
young people are given to day

Parents of such children in

pecially do they become
alarmed when it's a boy who
is giving trouble.
They seem to figure that,
after all, maybe a girl does not
need so much education as a
boy. Perhaps they had hoped
their son would go to college
and take up a profession.
Although 7 have words Of
hope for all such cases, I
cannot say that the solving of
the problem is always an easy

That it can be solved, in
practically all cases, there IS
little doubt, but always it re-

larger ones. The material should be
cut into melon, oval shapes pointed at
either end-or perhaps we should say
into melon-seed shapes with points at
either end. The larger petals call for
shapes of this sort inches long by 81
inches wide and the smaller petals for
shapes Z inches long by 4 inches wide
They should be cut lengthwise of the
satin.
Fold the pieces in two lengthwise so
that the creased side is straight, and
then run a gathering thread along the
curved side and draw the thread up so
that the gathering is about inches in
length. Take one of the smaller
pieces so folded and gathered and draw
up the gathering strong so that it
forms budlike petal for the center
of the rose, and fasten this firmly.
Then place another small petal with
the gathering drawn up so that it ex-
tends partly around the center petal,
and then another small petal at the
opposite of the bud petal Continue
with the petals until you have rose
of the desired fullnesS, drawing up the
gathering strings and sewing them
firmly together. The green leaves may
be cut from green satin or you may
buy artificial green leaves and attach
them as shown in the sketch.
