France is whole heartedly interested
in motorless aviation. Ever since a
German set a worlds record with a
three hour flight at Gersfeld the
French engineers and aviators have
been busy with experiments.
Since the recent meeting at Cler-
mont -Ferrand, where it was later dis
covered that the air currents were
unfavorable. progress has been made
by Frenchmen. one of them remain

A week ago this time was exceeded by
an aviator named Barbot, who. flying in
a specially constructed machine, re-
mained in the air twenty minutes. Bar

since carried out other trials. In his

made with special fabrics and frame
material. while a school is being opened
where experts can study air currents.
Almost daily for long hours numerous
kites can be seen flying from factories
They are sent up by manufacturers, and
their cvolutions are watched closely by
the pupils of the air currents school.
