ORRAINE

Compromise

A little matter of a crash was not sufficient to deter the famous French pilots Paillaird and Le Brix in their dash from Orlu Aero- drome to Saigon, Indo-China. Le Brix had previously circum- navigated the globe with Costes. The two piloti started their Saigon fight, but came to grief in a forest, a few miles out of Paris. They then got a new machine for the flight.

Suffrage Leader

Here is one jurist who definitely revcits at the Michigan law which makes a senterice of life imprisonment mandatory upon persons convicted of four liquor felonies. Judge Vincent M.

"I could not sentence a man or wontaL to life in prison for possession of a forbidden beverage and evor again hope to be at peace with my conscience,” he said.

It is expected that more than 1,000 leading suffragists will meet at Berlin, under the leadership of Mrs Margery S. Corbett-Ashby of London, chairman of the International Women's Sufrage Alliance when the alliance celebrates its 25th anniversary at Berlin,
