No one to my notion has ever paid proper tribute to the comfort and luxury of beds in French ho- tels. Even in the modest pension the word tor them is heavenly. They are capacious and downy. My pill lows for instance wait the scent of some exotic balsam. The outside spread would make a fitting robe for mandarin. Or a vest for Roy Howard.
 Another wrinkle in this gilded inn that strikes me as zero in nothing whatever is an intricate instrument inset over bath faucets, It registers the exact temperature of water. thought all the time, until my wife told me this evening, that it was a new fangled French clock. Saturday night I am going to take a bath n all temperatures - including the Fahrenheit.

 Seems that the boys with the urge for high adventure coursing in their blood have given the editors the go by and have turned to aviation, leaving the old timers at the desks, who now live normal and rational lives. do the writing about them: and letting them cogitate. as they play with the typewriter keys. that if they had their lives to live over again they would surely go into the aviation racket.

THE ENDURANCE RECORD

AS test Of how long human be- ings can do without adequate sleep there can be nothing like an alrpIane endurance flight. A concurrent test is how long the airplane can operate without the machinery going awry in some vital part And when these things are all duly tested and the avistors finally decide that alI's well with the record they decide that q long snooze IT q dovny bed IS more important than further testing the enduring value ot airplane machin- cry. So they descend 10 mother earth. And vhen they awaken they are in good humor to contemplate the commercial value Of making such tests.
 John and Kenneth Hunter, the two Illinois farm boys who have been making Chicago temporarily forget about it's gang troubles. appear 10 he modest and uuassumIng asplrants for fame.

But there ran b. no question of it's commercial value. If the two farm boys hold onto the money they get as a result of their success they will be able to settle down on a much bigger and better farm Of the Prairie state.
 We have known of reporters who went 48 hours without sieep-and sometimes loager-whiIe steadily working on what they professionally termed a big story Al they did while so engaged was 10 collect facts, data and help to bring 2 coherent account out Of q chaos of calamity.
