Paris, Oct, 20 --Ever since the | war the French have concentrated a increase of 16,- | very considerable effort to develop sail | civie as well as military aviation, {and the results achieved are worthy | |of dhe effort. With the support of | the. air departments the following s1x international air lines have been or- | ganized: Paris and London; Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam; Paris. | Strasbourg, Prague and Warsaw; Toulouse and Casablanca; Bayonne, Bilbao and Santander; Bordeaux, Toulouse and Montpelier. In all this | means 5,200 kilometres of airline re- gularly exploited commercially. Dur- ing the first. half current year 848,- 700 kilometres were covered along | these lines and 3,388 passengers were carried. Paresis amounted to 70,000 kilos and mails 3,470 kilos. These figures show considerable improvement in com- | parison to the same period in the pre- _| vious year. Next year, while continuing work the lin eady running, it is intended to I up France and northern Afrida by several new lines. Included will be an attempt to create a line from Antibes to Corsica and Algiers by hydroplane, while an air- ehip route will be opened from Mar- sellles for Toulon to Algiers, while aeroplanes will -run from Oran to Morocco, and from Toulouse to Morocco via Spain. Every attempt will be made to as- sure regular departures and arrivals and to add comfort in cabin accom- modation and the security of pas- sengers. Three services are already run daily from Paris to London. It is worthy of note that despite 'the vast nuniber of kilometres cov- sored, very few accidents have oc- curred on these French lines. Statis- tics show that two pilots and two passengers have been killed and three pilots and one passenger in- jured. When compared to other means of locomotion this is truly a remarkably low figure. The situation in England regard- ing trade and unemployment is worse than at any time since the end of the Napoleonic wars, the premier de- clared in the British commons, At present there are one million seven hundred and fifty thousand unem- ployed: Allefed mistreatment of British immigrants at Ellis island is brought, to the attention of the United States labor department, Charges are made of revolting and humiliating treat- ment of Canadian veterars, Ex-Premier Clemenceau of France is critically ill at Vendee. | | un --. eT but the actual propo- | shing fin- | feed the unemployed on bluff," while | carried to| "On the right th the casket is seen A being carried from { Stations Being Built in Edgland for » Great * London, Oct. and telegraph society, | London, dealt with the question of lan imperial wireless chain, .

It mobilized 50 fat men and 50 fat women ir a reducing squad, which hopes to lose 5,000 pounds or more by the middle of No- vember, when Health Commissioner weights at the health exposition as an example of what stout persons can do in the way of becoming more be- coming. Everybody was told to strat right in at breakfast this morning. Then the plump women are to get into bloomers and middy "louses for the first daily workout in the gymnasium at Madison Square garden. Bathing suits are barred. Dr. Copeland counted excess chins while his assistant ran tape meas- ures around adipose ankles. One man only 5 feet six punished ecales with nearly 300 pounds, and a wo- man four inches shorter sighed when the balance quivered at the 274- pound mark. Tons and tons of flesh were pho- tographed by the movie man and then the 50 overburdened male mem- bers of the squad went through calist- henics while the women quaked with laughter, Will Use Catapults To Launch Aeroplanes Washington, Oct.; 20.--The navy will shortly install on one of its mod- ern battleships a complete catapult unit for the launching of aeroplanes, This is designed to give a plane the "flying speed! it requires before it takes the air.

Drying of Streams Cut Off Electric Power, Westfield, Vt., Oct, 20.--Until the recent rains, weather conditions un- | precedantad. within the memory of the oldest inhabitant prevailed in this border country for several weeks, Lack of rain caused brooks to dry up, and in the towns of North Troy, Newport, Barton and Coventry, iand Stanstead, across the Canadian line, use of electric power was aban- doned because of the water shortage. September passed without frost. The drought affected the trees ahd the vari-colored autumn leaves with- ored on the branches. Squirrels, lack- ing their usnal supply of maple seeds, hung about the houses and whenever a door was opened scam- pered inside for food. In severa] towns the water suppiy 'became so low that it was condema- ed for drinking purposes, and fire- men were obliged to depend. upon the lakes. or ponds when called upon to fight fires.
