NORTON'S KIDDY SHOP
; In Gcnumiytlio niilroiul.s contemplate abolishing traveling
compartments reserved for ladies only. Observation has
shown that women do not lake kindly to the idea of traveling
solely in the company of their own sex. Well, they might
have known. Women do occasionally foregather exclusively
and deliberatively for luncheons' and teas and bridge parties,
but the more outspoken of them admit that at these affairs
there is always something lacking. The only reason the
men folk arc not there is because someone must make the
money for tho m ixes, the salad and ice cream and, perhaps,
to pay tho losses at bridge! The fair ones are often heard to
make disparaging, na.v, disloyal, references lo what they
somewhat inelegantly describe as "te J'ights" and "hen
parties." From men, on the other hand, there is heard only
glowing accounts of stag parties, hunting trips, poker ses-rions.
A 1IOPH TO KM) WAR
The French government has granted the Lufthansa Cum
pany, Germany's leading aviation organization, permission to
fly its planes over Fort Cherbourg, near the principal seaport
of France, in order to speed up delivery of mail between Ger
many and the United States. The mail bags will be dropped
on the deck of the lirenien, Gel inany's record-breaking tr.uis
Atlantic liner.
France's action is commendable, because it indicates less
of the distrust and suspicion that have marked relations
between France and Goiman.v since the Franco-Prussian W'.n
in 1870.
Hut at the same lime will there be much ncccessily fin
ally nation guarding the secrets of its forts if another bi);
war should come? Will not those forts which helped steni
the German advance into France in till I be as obsolete as
the cannon of Civil War days?'
If that war should come, death will rain from (he skies and
what good will a lew forts be? The long-range cannon that
bombarded Paris during the World War ania.ed the entire
world, but since then mvialion wilh non-slop Mights for
planes of more than. -MOO miles and for dirigibles of nunc
than ('.OHO mile:-, has made the "Hig i'.eiiha" appear as a
puliy weapon of war.
The next war camml be confined to combatant aimies. It
is certain-that the death loll of civilians -children, wnmeii
and helpless old men -will be terrible.
For these reasons, the statesmen and neonles of Hie woil,
r.hould do everything possible to prevent such a conflict.
Anything locking toward that end must be encouiaued fer
vently. The people of the world do not want war anil their
representatives in international councils must truly represent
them.
