Paris Is Hub of World Air Lines

Planes Leave Le Bourget Field Every Day for Foreign European Capitals. ■> Le Bourget, France. —Here adren ture begins and most triumphantly ends. This big bare field of many score acres, nearly a mile and a half long by half a mile wide, is to* those who travel by air in Europe the world’s Grand Centraf station. It is from here they must set out when they would conquer fame. It is here they must come in the accomplishment of their triumphs. East, west north and south, the world s air lines run to and from it. Eastward in two days and a night, about one year ago came Charles A. Lindbergh from New York to find at Le Bourget such a welcome as no man ever had, a welcome that set an example in history which the whole world followed wherever that young Parsifal has since appeared. Here from the east recently came Dieudonne CostesUnd Joseph Lebrix, leaping in giant strides in six days from Tokyo across China, India and western Asia. From here Nungesser and Coli started out and failed. , German Field Busier. It is not now the world’s busiest airport. Templehof field, at Berlin, it is claimed, has even more “suburban” traffic. Amsterdam and Cologne are bigger junctions. But Le Bourget is to flying what Times square is to New York and what the Grand Central station is to the -United States railroad system. ’Here the whole world meets. It is only 19 years since Louis Blerlot made the first successful flight from France to England, blazing the trail of the world s first air line. Last year, along the route he took, just over 10,000 persons flew from Le Bourget to Croydon, and even more came from London to Paris. There is no air line anywhere so regular, so busy, or so extensively used as this between Paris and London. Last July, 1,297 passengers flew from here to London, and in August the number reached 1,520. In Europe’s aerial time table, which is a goodsized volyme covering 146 established routds, this line ranks as No. 1. Two companies, one English and the other French, assure service jvitb a minimum of three planes each way every day except Sunday, when the service is reduced to one. At busy times eight and ten planes have been put on by each of these two companies ; and their accident record is rather less per passenger carried than railroads can boast. Four-Hour Service. As a time anti trouble saver, this inie is among the world’s best. Even by the most luxurious trains and boats it takes 7% hours to travel from Paris to London, with all the trouble of having to change from train to boat and from boat back to train. By automobile and air, the journey from the center of Paris to the center of London takes just four hours. By the Air Union’s de luxe plane, which serves luncheon on board, one can leave a Paris office at 11:45 o’clock and reach Haymarket, London, at 3:45, in time for any business appointment. Nor Is flying any more expensive than traveling by train and boat. On the de luxe plane, the price is S2B, against S2O by the slower route, and on the cheap early morning plane one can travel for $23.50. With every year the air routes of

; COTTAGE IN TREE TOPS HAVEN FOR HONEYMOONERS

Love Nest Built by Pennsylvania Farmer Is Occupied Most of the Year. Belfam, Pa.—A cottage in the tree tops, surrounded by a myriad bril-liant-colored lights and overlooking a placid little brook—that is the honeymoon ideal as conceived by Morgan Emig, a farmer near here. And the strange part of it all is that Emig has built this love nest for the benefit of others' and it has already been used by honeymooners from all parts of f the country. Situated among the branches of a huge buttonwood tree', the cottage is equipped as thoroughly as any of its size on the ground, containing electric light, dishes, stove for cooking, complete bedroom and living room suites and has porches on three sides. To approach the love nest, one must first i.-nter Emig’s farm and traverse

France are being made safer and safer. Along the Paris-London route the country has been carefully charted, and it at any time a motor should fail, every pilot knows what spot is within reach to which he can plane down and find good landing ground. There have been cases, although none recently, when engine fai’ure has occurred over the channel and the pilot has managed to glide down gently to a correct landing near Calais or Dover. To Light Airways. Now-it is proposed to have the four principal air routes. Paris-London, Paris-Brussels, Paris'-Marseilles and Toulouse-Persignan, lighted by special orange-colored searchlights, which will continually flash a signal letter indicating ’to planes their whereabouts. More and more this airport of Le Bourget is becoming like a railroad station. “Passengers for Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Bremen, Hamburg, Copenhagen, and Malmo please take their seats.” the loud speaker from the roof of the director’s office will announce. Or another time it is, “Plane from Budapest, Vienna, Nuremberg, Strassbourg now arriving.” From this wide field one can travel to any capital in Europe, and every week, almost, new links are being added, so that soon the service may include Asia and America. Anywhere by Plane. The Imperial Airways joins Paris with London „and Zurich. By the three regular French lines, whose headquarters are at Le Bourget, one can travel almost anywhere in Europe, while a fourth will hire out a plane from Le Bourget to overtake a missed boat to Cherbourg or to go anywhere else, from flying for $2 worth over the field itself to catching the IndianMail at Suez. The Air Union has a direct daily or twice weekly service with London, Lyons, Marseilles, Geneva. Antibes, Corsica and Tunis. By the Compagnie’ Internationale de Navigation Avienne one can fly eastward to Prague. Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest, and Constantinople. The Farman lines take one to Brussels, FOUR-FOOTED DUCK n z IH This remarkable A bird .was found by a poultry dealer of Portland, Ore., when he opened a crate of ducks.

the quarter mile between the main highway and , the cottage. On arrival there is a flight of steps leading up the trunk of the tree to a height of about twenty-five feet, where they turn and lead out along a branch to a spot directly over the stream, where the cottage is located. The cottage rests on beams supported by steel cables and was built about eight years ago. “I first got the Idea when a bunch of kids wanted to build a treehouse and laid a platform in the branches,” Emig said. “I then wondered why a substantial bouse could not be made there and started work. Each year I made Improvements and added a little something, but now, in my estimation, it is about perfect.” The cottage is weatherproof and even has a back yard. Scattered about among the branches and amid the many colored lights are chairs i

: Suicides Increasing, Says Gotham Report : New York.—Suicides of per- ’ sons of all ages increased by 54 . for the first four months of this ’ year as compared with 1927. ami • they increased 169 during 1927, ; as compared with 1926, accord- ■ ifig to a table issued by Health ’ Commissioner Harris. The heaviest increase in 1927 was among persons between the ages of thirty-five and thirty nine. In 1926, 96 persons of these ages took their lives, and ’ last year this total rose to 142. In both years suicide by .gas held the record, 368 persons ending their lives in this way in 1926 and 453 in 1927. “Solid or liquid poisons” fell off in 1927 as means of self-destruc- ’ tion. In 1926, 633 men and 1 boy killed themselves, as against 767 men and 2 boys tn 1927. while 269 women and 1 girt committed in 1926 as compared with 304 women last year.

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Hamburg, I Copenhagen, Cologne, E?sen, and Berlin. Last year more than 30.000 passengers used the Le Bourget airport coming and going, and of these a very large percentage were American tourists, for seeing Europe by air has become the most popular as well as. the quickest means. In addition to the' ordinary mails, many thousands of tons of merchandise are carried into and out of France by air, this freight including last year one race horse, five prize pigs, dogs, canaries and a large consignment of serpents for the Amsterdam zoo. To Get $142,500 for Making Cannon Safer Washington.—A draftsman in the War department is to be rewarded by his government for inventions of mechanisms making the firing of can- j non safer. Congress so decided with the approval by the house of a senate bill -awarding a $142,500 payment to the inventor; , v ■ John W. Stockett, who has served as a draftsman with the War department for more than a quarter of a century, devised five inventions at the time of the Spanish-American war im proving the breech closing and firing mechanisms 6f cannon which were accepted by the government as superior i to the devices of two foreign' cdmpa- ■ nies. Compensation was refused Stockett at the time of their acceptance on the ground that “it . had been his business as an employee of the War department.” Reno Still Popular Center for Divorces Reno, Nev.—Long famous as a divorce center, Reno was a much larger; magnet for disagreeing couples last, year than in 1926. Reviewing marriage and divorce statistics for Nevada, the United States Department of Commerce credited that state with 1,953 divorces in 1927, an | increase of 932, or 91.3 per cent, over; j the previous year. Specific figures, for Reno were not given, but Eashoe county, in which Reno is situated, was shown to have granted 1,603 of the to- I tai, a gain of 847, or more than 100 per cent.

and benches for use in the summer, as Emig says his house i§ occupied virtually the year round. Aside from its use by honeymooners, Emig rents the cottage for card parties, dances and like social gatherings. A radio is provided with two loud speakers, one located in the cottage and the other in the top of the tree. “Aj one time there hav/ been as many as 26 persons, daflcing in the cottage and at card parties there have been four tables in play,” Emig said. “Os course, it is making the money as it is in use the year around and :■ charge rental for the use nf it i>u the biggest kick 1 get out of it i> from the honeymooners and <»riier* who get the benefit of it,” he sain “and 1 have a lot of fun it” At nights the tunes from the loud speaker can be heard on the main York to Harrisburg road a quarter ut a mile away and the lights in the huge tree can be seen from a great distance, resembling a monster Christmas tree.

More than eighty years ago, as a small boy of four in tatters on a Shanghai wharf, he took the fancy of a Yankee sailor, with the result that the boy sailed away and never again saw his native land. He finally landed in Gloucester, Mass., the home of Capt. Edward Day, the ship’s master.
