LIE BOURGET. France July 16
(By The Associated Press) The
American army round-the-world
fiiers hoped off from the airdrome
here at 11:05 o'clock this morning
for England.
A French commercial air liner ac-
companied the three United States
airplanes to point out the way to the
channel. They were followed by a
French military escort of three
planes which will take them to the
coast On the British side of the
channel another air escort awaits
them.
The world girdlers had fairly good
weather for their farewell to France.
There was a slight breeze and haZy
sky, but official reports were for
satisfactory flying conditions. The
three American airplanes took Off
unostentatiously. The pilots arrived
only few minutes before the de-
parture. They were ready for the
air exactly at II o'clock. the time set
for leaving, but they waited five
minutes to have the commercial ex-
press plane as guide.
The American aviatorS went away
in high spirits, confident they would
be able to make up considerable
time on their schedule IL their sup
plies reached them in Greenland
promptly. Aside from this they have
no worries, as they look upon the
remainder of the flying route as easy
compared with the spots in the
Pacific that gave them trouble.
The American machines were In
excellent shape but the airmen ex-
pected they would be in even better
condition when the new motors were
installed at Hull. 1t was expected
that the planes. after their over
hauling in England, would last
through to United States soil.

Use of Christmas Stocking

The custom of hanging up stock
ings on Christmas Eve comes to us
from a land across the ocean-from
sunny italy.
In the city OF Padua, long ago
good old st. Nicholas used to go
about the streets after dark and
throw through the windows OF the
homes of the poor people long knit
ted purses. tied at both ends. and
containing much needed coins
These purses were made of yarn. and
when united looked not unlike foot
less stocking.
Finally, as time went on. the poor
people. hoping thus to remind the
more fortunate of their needs, used
to hang these empty purses out Of
the windows on the night befor.
Christmas. so that a gift might be
placed in them.
In the north country. where the
weather Is cold at Christmas time,
the purses were hung by the CHM
ney place in the hope that st.
Nicholas would drop his offering
down the chimney.
When the purses went out Of FASH
ion stockings as the thing most like
them were used in their stead, and
that is why We today still observe
the practice and the custom.

Hunts Stays BY Automobile

Stag hunting by automobile is the
latest novelty in France.
The Dowager Duchess Dues set
the fashion the other day when her
pack of dcerhounds were out in the
Ramboullet forest.
In part the hunt was in true
medieval style. with ed-coated
huntsmen astride their horses. cir
cular brass horns slung on their
backs. But the ultra modern also
were there, in the form of motor
car fitted with caterpillar wheels.
like those used some time ago In
crossing the Sahara desert and for
cross country excursions up the
slopes of the Alps and the Pyrenees
The stag hunt was a strictly
society affair. and the guests who
preferred not to follow on horseback
were conveyed to the meet in mail
coaches. on which postillions in gay
livery made goodly show. The
wheeled vehicles did their best to
follow the chase. but were limited to
the roads. A chauffeur replaced the
pcstillion on the new hunt car, how.
ever. and took his party cross coun-
fry, but with speed and comfort that
barely surpassed that Of the armorsd

English Girls 10 EnlRraic

For app, oximately 100 years prior
to the World War, England had
done little for her young women.
especially those faced with the
necessity OF earning a living. Spas
modic efforts had been made to help
the young men who wanted to mi
crate to the colonies. but the young
women had been virtually ignored.
Today. largely owing to the remark
able service rendered by women
during war times. and also due to
the fact that England has 2,O00.00O
more women than men. the interests
of the women are being given atten-
ton.
Miss Gladys Pott. whose activity
on behalf of English women has
gained the admiration and conf
dence of the British empire. has
been named member OF the
British overseas settlement delega-
ton. now on its way to Australia.
She says it is a bad idea to populate
a new land With young men unless
you send some nice girls to the same
place. II the girls find husbands
and there are many potentially good
husbands among the settlers in
Australia-so much the better. she
thinks.-Saa Francisco Chronicle.
