T RENCH WOMAN
IS WRITER
! OF AIR
Mines Faure-Favier, First Fe-
male Flyer, is Pioneer on
Plane Literature
BY ALICE LANGELIER
international News Service

PARIS. Aug. 20 French women
are more and more coming into the
public eye by way Of professions or
personal hobbies, or the combina.
tior of both. !
Nine. Leuis Faure Favier,
Frances first woman aviator. is
now making her pen pioneer in
the literature of the air. While
sthis clever Journalist was sitting Ia
the office of the oeuvre one day in
1912, brushing up her article for
the next edition. the sporting editor
rushed in to ask who would like u
fly to Brussels and bring back a
feature story on the victory cele-
bra ton.
Atadame seeped to be the only
one ready to go. She was soon
styled the first woman to cross
the channel by air, for this sue
cess led to another, and she flew
to London and back.
Undertook Flight
Like nearly every other woman,
she caught the special appeal of
being lifted high into the clouds
and her flights continued, each
time growing more and more in
tereSting.
She was the first woman to
undertake night flying and later
she inaugurated the Paris-Amster.
dam and the Paris-Lausanne air
lines, and in four and one.half
years has totalled the greatest
number of aerial kilometers-46, 900
in all. more than a tour of the
globe. She has flown in almost
every kind of plane and written $50
reports of her adventures and
lectured on aviation in many cities.
Travellers who use the Continen-
tai air lines can be grateful to
Madame Favier for the air guides
with photographs that she has
made for every line. At the pres
ent moment she is working on one
for the Constantinople4Dak
line.

NEW SUITS LET DIVERS

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-An anti
friction diving suit for use under
the sea at a depth of 500 feet

Hitherto it has been possible
to get divers down to deep
levels of the ocean but owing to
the terrific pressure below the
depth of 200 feet they have been
unable to move their limbs and
were therefore helpless.
