 Paris. 1922.
 As I motored toward Paris last night saw two moons high in the sky. This has nothing to do with the absence of the prohibition amendment in France. do not drink and my eyes are as clear as my head. The first moon was far Above the second. Its light was shady. and the woman in it was plainly to be seen. The second moon was equally large, only nearer the earth. It was great blazing ball of fire that shone for .inoment and then di disappeared only to return in it's full brilliancy later. As 1t flashed back and forth my chauffeur ex plained that It was the great signal light which notifies the passenger planes coming into the Le Bourget flying field from London. Warsaw and Amsterdam just where to land.
 Since then I have visited the field. watched the airplanes come in and go out. and examined the huge birds which remind one of thesroc of Sin bad, the Sailor, as they carry their human freight for thousands of miles over Europe. I have talked with the officials of the various airplane com panies. have chatted with the pilots and mechanics. and have gone through the great airdromes which encircle this mightiest flying field of the world. I have also visited the 1f rt- ties and had a chat with MT. Laurent Eynac, who is the head of the bureau that has to do with aerial transport. about the wonderful work that France is accomplishing in its com mercial conquest of the skies
 A Talk With Laurent Eynnc
 Laurent Eynac stands at the head of commercial aviation in France. and this means much, for France Is far in advance of any other country in Europe in it's aeronautic develop ment, Mir. Eynac not only central izes the technical information of the country. but he distributes the sub sides granted by the French Parlia- ment to the various operating com Eanies Moreover. he is 2 man of spraetical experience. He was ia . mous as an aviator during the war. was formerly director of the French petroleum and gasoline supply serv- ices and has been a member of the Chamber of Deputies. Of medium size, sturdy form and snapping black eyes. he grew enthusiastic as we talked. and could see that his vision embraced a flying service that would eventually conquer the heavens. The language was French. and in trans lating. our conversation I shall re- duce the kilometers to miles. kio- grams to pounds, and take the liberty of using round numbers and concrete Illustrations in order that you hay more easily grasp inst what his words mean. Said Mir. Eynac:
 Paris to London Before Breakfast
 '-The progress of France along all lines of aviation is exceedingly rapid. We instituted our commercial avia- ton service in 1918, just after the war, when we established our first line from Paris to Brussels, to insure a postal air service between the cap- itais of France and Belgium. At the same time we put in similar serv- ice between Paris and Nantes. to save time for our couriers who sailed from there to America. All this was done by the ministry of war. Later on this bureau was established with the idea of developing the art and push ing to the utmost the commercial navigation of the air. We have two services which deal with airplane construction and operation. One is devKed to supervising the building of airplanes and motors. to increas- ing their efficiency, and to extend Ing the industry In every possible way. The other has to do with re- search work in aviation. motor con structlon, the study Of the air as regards flying through il. and to all
