Aviation added another feather to
its cap last week when, for the first
time In history. two officers in sepa-
rate airplanes flying several miles

Economics.
| In private industry 1t has become
| a custom universally followed that
when men are discharged from en-
pIoyment they shall receive notice"
| in advance. designed to allow them
to make preparations for seeking
employment elsewhere. But Uncle
Sam does not follow this rule. Sat
! urday a week ago, without previous
warning, about us printers and other
classes of wage earners at the Gov
ernment Printing ONCE were sum-
| marily dismissed, while a number OF
others were put on "furlough" with
| out pay. The Public Printer defends
his action with the statement that
| Congress failed to appropriate money
enough to keep all his force en-
| ployed. He was left with no alterna-
| tive. he states. than to get rid of the
men. The Typographical Union and
other organizations interested in the
/ employees have taken protest to
| President Coolidge. Many of the men
| discharged had been at work In the
| Printing Office for score or more
of years, and some of them would
have been retired with pay in few
months.
| France needs four or five billion
! francs to meet her internal obliga-
tions in the financial crisis now ap-
preaching and to restore the franc to
| normal, according to Louis Loucheur,
French financial minister. The French
| treasury Is now facing the maturity
! of something like $4,000, ,000, 900
| francs worth of securities in the
| coming year. A foreign loan OF the
amount named above would, in the
minister's opinion, restore confidence
and enable the treasury to meet it's
| obligations, with a tidy sum left as
| margin. Restoration OF confidence
, is of prime Importance, he said, and
a foreign loan is now possible.
