(TV-Fast forty -eight. hour postal service from Pari to New York, a SO rents a letter looks Ilka a solution of the, transatlantic air problem to the French aeronautic service. It Is calculated that ship now designed could operate profitably on that basis, a a commencement. Twenty government air bureaus, all over the world, It Is said, are working on long distance aerial service and France, like other countries, has its plans. An eighteen-ton airship, that would carry twelve passengers to New York for a fare and freight $8 a pound, is the proposal of government experts.

It would cany 5.000 gallons of gasoline and mnke the trip by the Azores, with a slop also possible at the Bermudas. In 4.r) hours. Louis Blerlot. the first to fly across Ihe English channel, has fathered the idea of a giant passenger and freight plane that, would carry a motor-lifeboat that would be released automatically if the airship struck water. French airplane builders are confident transatlantic, flying will be on a commercial basis in ten years or so, but for the present they feel French aviation is ham-strung by the fact the army controls production and design, being the biggest customer but they look forward to a time when the army and navy will encourage the manufacture of the big, long distance, freight carrying fliers.

THRIFTY FHENCIIMEN Those thrifty Frenchmen who carefully "recovered" the nnti-tuber- culosis stamps on letters and used jthem again are out of luck. The i government lias decided to cancel all stamps of the sort, even though ithey are not official. Evidence that In some cases stamps were being used three or four times led to the decision. Borne persons, thinking the new anti-tuberculosis stamps were an issue of the postofrice department, used them as regular stamps. In each rase the receiver of the letter paid the bill.

FnF.NCI! AGAIN WELCOME The French are being welcomed bark into the stores where formerly foreigners from lands of gold money were pampered Customers. Ironical persons ate reminding the storekeepers that many of them a year ugo said they didn't rely on French trade lor their profit. "Times have changed," says Maurice Prnx, speaking for his countrymen in a newspaper article. 'The foreigners are gone or they find things expensive and the Frenchman who counts his sous again gets some attention." The disposition to bid for foregn-ers' trade became so marked that recently there was a bill before parliament to fax signs In foreign languages, as is done In Italy, This catering to foreign buyers caused many merrhanjs to put out signs In English and French and some even disregarded their own lnnguage entirely. PHK.FKR MOOD READING Good literature, it Is declared, Is preferred by French newspaper readers to the ordinary type of "cheap, highly spiced, factory-made," serial story.

Tests and investigations by Petit Provencal of Marseilles, one of the influential papers of France, have satisfied that newspaper that the rank and file of readers have better taste than was supposed. Most French newspapers run two serial stories and sometimes more, but these have rarely been taken from the classics. Lo Petit Provencal stirred up some religious agitation recently by announcing it would run "Andre Cornells." one of the best novels of Paul Bourget of the Academle Fran-calse. It was during this efTerves-cense that approval of worthwhile novels was so pronounced that the newspaper started questioning figures what Most of the people really thought.
