FRANCE WANTS
I WIN BIG PLACE
FOR
PARIS, July 23 (by Associated
Press).—France, whose strong war
aerial force, in men and materials, has
been allowed to disintegrate, is deter
mined to win a big place in commer
cial aviation, P. E. Flandrin, aviation
under-secretary, told the chamber of
deputies when it voted 300,000,000
francs for civil and military air ser
vice.
The development of the all-metal air
planes, he suggested, is one of the
most important things being sought
and he said German attempts along
this line “seem to be more dangerous
than any clandestine deposits of war
materials.’'
M. Flandrin told of typical flights
in other nations, such as the New
York to San Francisco race and the
American postal routes, and then re
ported that the Paris-London airplanes
covered 120,000 miles, carrying 803
passengers on 513 flights during the
period from last September 1 to
March 1, when winter atmospheric
conditions are bad+. On only 7 per
cent of the trips was there more than
an hour’s delay and only one accident,;
in which an American passenger was
killed.
The progress of aviation during the
war, M. Flandrin said, raised airplane
flight speed from 78 to 148 miles an
hour; lowered the time for reaching
altitudes by four-fifths; increased the
power limit from 100 to 1,000 horse
power; multiplied the carrying capac
ity by more than six; and quadrupled
the flight range.
“Maintenance of way” of the Lon
don-Paris airline, he said, comprising
hangars, landing stations, meteorolog
ical stations, etc., cost 33,000 francs
a mile, but can be cut in half as a
result of the experience gained.
PHONES WARN
PASSENGERS
WATCH STEP
I
NEW YORK, July 23 (by Associated
Press).—“Loud speaking” telephones
are soon to give New York subway
riders relief from the inarticulate
sounds emanating from guards in an
nouncing subway stations.
The telephone instrument, which is
to be installed on the Brooklyn lines,
will not only be employed to announce
stations, but will be used for such
warnings as “Watch your step!” “Step
lively please!” etc.
The phone is operated by the con
ductor or guard at the center o" the
car, who speaks in an ordinary voice
through a transmitter, his words com
ing forth in increased volume at each
end. The phone is also audible on the
car platforms.
Loud speaking receivers are in
stalled in the ceilings of the cars near
the doors and are hardly visible. The
openings are about eight inches in
diameter, but screened and painted
the same color as the ceiling.
The phone operator is provided with
a high efficiency transmitter which is
small and can be carried around in
the pocket'or held in the hand. It has
a cord similar to that on a regular tel
ephone and connection is made with
the telephone system by “plugging in.”

TEA ROOMS TO
BE OPENED ON
BATTLEFIELDS
✓ _
PARIS, July 23 (by Ascociated
Press).—The American Committee
for Devastated France have opened
tea rooms in several of the shattered
villages in the valley of the Aisne.
The rooms are located at Coucy-le
chateau, where an old fortress was
blown up by the Germans; Crouy,
near Soissons and Laon in the Chem
in des Dames region.
By means of the tea rooms the com
mittee hopes not only to add to the
comfort of tourists visiting the bat
tlefields but to divert some of the
money being spent by Americans to
the urgent needs of the people in the
devastated regions.
Motor busses and private automo
biles crowded with sightseers have
begun pilgrimages to the battlefields
where the Americans of the First,
Second and Thirty-second divisions
fought under General Mangin and
pushed back the Germans, liberating
Soissons and the nearby villages.
Members of the committee will per
sonally manage the tea rooms and
wait on the patrons. Moderate prices
will be charged and the profits will
be used to buy chickens and to aid
children.
FISHERMEN DRIFT AT

LIHUE, Island of Kauia, T. H., July

ported they had been drifting at sea
