Its development and its a(uj

"b'v. Jn immensity, coinpii uness, j
comfort and efficiency, the andionie1
ju>t outside I'aris combine> m.,- , (,f 1

the arrival and departure .,f j

the rate of a dozen or so an l,.,ur
leinind one who asks about their in*id
that it is "both a station and a port "
Dunes arrive not only from almost
all ul tin- capitals of the continent ,
connected with I'aris by rail, but they j
also come from overseas fionJ
Africa, India, England. And one un
forgettable night, the silvery ship!
bearing Lindbergh slipped down on I
the grass of Le Bourget, :VA and one- 1
half hours out of New York.
Le liourget has also witnessed the!
arrival of America's Round-the World j
flyers of 192-1, the departure of Costes
and lx-Iirix for South America last
autumn, and before that the fatal
farewell of Xungescr an?l C'oli, who
set out for New York. In the near
future it is sure to see many more i
pla/tjps sail away for the new world, '
and no doubt tin- day will come when
New ^ 01 k will take its place on the i
bulletin board along with London,!
Berlin, Copenhagen and the.othei
capitals to which there are regular I
daily services.
Traveling by air is no longer looked
< n as a novel experience or a
sport, and an hour at Le liourget
will reveal what an efficient workaday
means of transport the airplan has
become. The planes leave with
lhe regularity of trains, on schedule,
except when the weather is exceptionally
bad. Passengers board them
and disembark within a few yards of
the spot where taxis from Paris
stand in tiusir rank. The buying of
tickets'and getting aboard, with bag
and baggage and a bit of cotton for
the ears, is as rapid and business-like
an operation as getting on a train
at any large station.
The position of all the big planes
equipped with wireless which fly between
Pans "an3~ otHer "capitals is
known at Le Bourget every , moment
they are in the air. Where the railway
dispatcher uses the telegraph,
Le Bourget employs the wireless telephone.
The pilots report their petals
tion, the weather, and receive infor-'
mation about the weather they are
likely to encounter.
The square cement paving on which
all incoming planes halt and from
' v- ich departing planes wobble onto
the field for their takeolfs is directly
under the nose of anyone who gets
a table by the big restaurant windows
at the field. -Sometimes as many as
three planes are loading and unloading
passengers ar>d freight simultaneously.
And in no more time
than it takes to drink a glass of beer
one is likely to see half a dozen
planes leaving and as many arriving.
High above the big passenger ships
there may be a few small planes,
stunting or even engaging in mimic
battle. For Le Bourget is not oftly
A commercial air jk>rt, b>ut a military
with ar whole aviation regiment
quartered there.' * : ' *
It was as a military establishment
that Le Bourget' got its fledgling
wings. ' That was during the!
war. Aviators were trained there
and it was from there that French
pilots took the air to chase away the
Germans when the enemy came flying
towards Paris.
Five months after the armistice,
the first commercial line was established
at Le Bourget, with Brussels
as the other terminus. That year,
1919, almost 700 passengers used Le
Bourget as an air station. Nowadays
700 would hardly be a good
week's traffic.

A. L. Schafer, lied Cross director!
'I disaster relief for I* lorida. moved
in.- headquarters from Jacksonville
to W est Palm Beach last night, taking
his staff with him. Before leav-f
ing Jacksonville Mr. Schafer wired!
a resume of storm damage in 122 i
Counties of the state as he had re-'
ceived it late last night. I
i his showed that IK of the counties
had .suffered no damage or so slightly
from the storm that no relief work
would be necessary. Two counties
Palm Beach and Okeechobee?suffered
greater damage than in the
1920 hurricane, while, two other
counties, Martin and Broward, suffered
great damage.
Henry M. Baker, national director
of Red Cross disaster relief, in
his first message from San Juan to.
headquarters here, stated that ifi-,
formation coming into the Porto
Rican capital indicates far graver
conditions in the interior*'^ the island
than in the city, while conditions
on the island of St. "Croix in the Virgin
Island group, are reported very
bad.
He added that within 24 hours
caravans of army motor trucks will
interior points in
need, with food, clothing and medical
supplies. In a radio message
from the destroyer Gilmer, which
rushed him from Charleston, S. C., to
San Juan, Mr. Baker said: "Immediately
upon arrival Tuesday held
very satisfactory conference with
Governor Towner who offers every
resource available to assist American
Red Cross in relief work. Held
conference wilh executive committee
appointed by. governor for Porto Rico
relief after which made hurried survey

until about 150 feet above the base,
while our trees taper decidedly and
get smaller rapidly as we go up the
trunk. These trees grow approximately
the same size a long distance
up the tree and are free from knots.
Of course, the Oregon fir is not to
