THE LAW OF THE AIR
(Continued)

nautical enterprises, and ultimately produce a service that in peace will aid commerce, both National and international, and in war or other National necessity make available with little expense a most valuable trained personnel, with an air force which can quickly be made ready for

use.

When one considers the enormous sums spent on preparation for military aeronautical use in the Great War, it would appear to be the part of wisdom to take advantage of the knowledge gained by failures as well as successes.

Man's use of the air from now on will constantly increase, both for commercial and military uses, and it is the duty of the citizen to see that the greatest protection be provided as quickly as possible both for "the man on the ground" and "the man in the air."

It would appear that the best legislation would be based on the "Common Welfare" and "Commerce" clauses of the Constitution, enacted into laws for the air on lines similar to the laws that govern the control of navigable rivers. It is hoped that these laws, when put into operation, will permit aviators to comply with the "laws of the air" without being even by legal theory "trespassers and nui

sances.

THE INSANE IN THE NEAR EAST

IT

is not very many years, as world history goes, since the insane and mentally unbalanced were treated like brute animals in western Europe, and even in Great Britain. One of the great achievements of modern civilization is the extraordinary which has been made in the care progress

and cure of the mentally sick. But in the Orient and the Near East the mediæval attitude towards the insane still prevails. One of the fine pieces of work which Americans are doing for their fellows of the Near East is to help them take proper care of their insane, and a unique agency in this good work is the Lebanon Hospital for Mental Diseases. For that reason we are especially glad to print the following appeal which we have received from the Treasurer of the American Committee of this hospital, Mr. Henry W. Jessup, a well-known member of the New York Bar:

The Lebanon Hospital for Mental Diseases, on the slopes of the Lebanon, above Beirût, weathered the war, but suffered considerable wear and tear by the German and Turkish elements during the long blockade of Syria, and its equipment was greatly run down and depreciated. Its buildings absolutely require immediate repair and its water system must be completely reorganized. All the water for the hospital, laundry, and houses has to be carried and for long distances, and baths and scrubbing of floors have had to be reduced to a minimum, the lavatories flushed and cleaned by hand. A cyclone destroyed the water windmill, and a recent letter received stated that they had no water in the hospital for a fortnight.

The London Committee is attempting to raise a fund of $60,000. The New York Committee, of which Dr. Frederick Peterson is chairman, is attempting to raise of this amount $10,000.

The Syrians in Greater New York have

THE INSANE OF THE NEAR EAST (Continued)

pledged themselves to raise $5,000 for a pharmacy, which is absolutely needed, and they have alreally raised $1,700 of this amount.

Dr. H. Watson Smith, the well-known Scotch alienist, who succeeded Dr. Waldmeyer as the resident head of the hospital, although a British subject, stuck to his post throughout the war, gained the respect and confidence of the local authorities, and housed not only the insane patients but many wounded soldiers.

The prices during the war were so high that, while drafts and promissory notes were honored, they were for amounts that, when satisfied after the war, completely depleted the treasury of the hospital.

Mr. Henry W. Jessup, of 55 Liberty Street, New York, is the Treasurer of the New York Committee, and appeal is made to the friends of this unique work, which alone meets the needs of that part of the world. It is additionally valuable in connection with the work of the medical department of the Syrian"Protestant College in that it affords a practical clinic enabling medical students to learn and appreciate the value of modern methods of dealing with the insane.

CONTRIBUTORS' GALLERY

JOZEL, with lis

OHN A. WET

article in this issue, makes his début as a contributor to

'big league" peri odicals. He is a practicing archi tect, a member of the American In stitute of Archi tects, and is a first lieutenant in the Officers' Reserve Corps. He lives in Bedford Hills, New York.

ON Hugh Walpole's recent trip to

America he discovered NEWTON A. FUESSLE, who contributes to this issue "A Challenge from the Easy Chair." In a critical article in a recent issue of the "Yale Review" the British novelist mentions Mr. Fuessle's novel The Flail" as one of the hopeful things about American literature.

HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER who demolishes the argument for the easy chair, has several pet easy chairs of his own located at strategic points throughout New York. He finds that a carefully planned progression from one club easy chair to another is conducive to creative mental activity. It was on one such tour that he wrote the argument with which he attempts to abolish Mr. Fuessle's plea for the sedentary life. It's a lot easier to be a warning than an example!

NNE GILBERT writes about farmers' wives from Dorr, Michigan. She tells, as an investigatee, of the folly of certain investigators.

WINIFRED KIRKLAND lives in Ashe

ville, North Carolina, but her mail often has to follow her to some tiny re mote notch of the mountains, in the saddle bags of some mud-splashed Cumberland carrier. She is a mountainlover and her spirit reaches out to the peaks and caves of the Blue Ridge. The raconteur of a bear hunt, a buryin', or a baptizin' finds in her an animated listener, and the pen that used to be dipped into the college ink of Vassar and Bryn Mawr is often used now to retell some simple highland happening. There is a saying among her friends that she will give away anything else her hat, her head, if need be-but never her books. Jane Austen is on her shelves, and Meredith flanked by Wordsworth and Masefield. In one corner stands a case filled with the books she loves to read to her child friends, for Miss Kirkland first wrote stories for young people before she turned her pen to the essay, and she has never lost her keen interest in the child's point of view. Her latest book of essays, "The View Vertical," was published last October by Houghton Mifflin. "The Christmas Shrine" is soon to appear.
