By slipping a half-crown into a slot machine on the airliners, it is possible to obtain a double whisky and soda. One question raised is whether it will be legal to operate this ingenious device before "taking off"; another, whether, while in flight over a certain area, the liquor-sales hours of that area will apply to the plane...
...Legal separation was almost in sight, when King Vittorio Emanuele paraded in amid royal salutes and arches of triumph (TIME, March 24). Fiume was annexed to Italy.

Since the war a Permanent Court of International Justice has been formed which has proved more adequate.
