IN THE AIR
HONGKONG TELEGRAPH WEEK-END SECTION
I fly through the air..
OVER FRANCE. AYBE I am blasé then.. But of all the ways of getting about Europe
I think flying is the dreariest, boringest way of all,
What if we have been going 200 miles an hour? I'm not convinced. The earth is flat and moves slowly past like a map. And it's not so interesting as a map either. The places don't have their names printed beside them.
With a map you can move your anger along the roads and get somewhere. Flying you haven't oven that consolation.
I persist in flying though, be- cause it's the best value for money I know. But you miss the thrill of arriving in new places.
As I write this we have left Lyons. There was nothing to in- dicato that we were ever coming to Lyons. Not like a train, whore suburbs and you go through there'n a little excitement and ad- vertisements by the side of the railway.
No, all that happens is you get In a machine, you take off and you land; and the taking off and the landing are about the most exclt- ing things that ever happen. At least then you have a little censa- tion of flying, instead of sitting in a box with a donkey engine out- side it.
I DON'T really complain of flying-except that I can't use my pen to write this. At 0,000 feet it lenks all over everything. But I've had my basinful of tramp steamers and guards' vans, and in my old travelling nge I like to got about quickly, without bother or mess.

There's something very personal about flying, anyway. Your tickel has your name on it, and you never need worry about porters or seeing that your luggage gets to the right It's a place at the right time. foolproof way of getting about.
In a way, though, you learn a lot about a country by flying over it And to-day I've learned how the French put other countries to shame, the way they use the earth.
Flying from the Channel to the Mediterranean I look down, and not an inch of the way has there been a rod, pole or perch that

England could be the same, but fying over it half the land seems to consist of potential cricket elds that nobody has bothered to roll out because the football season las started already.
THIS Rhône Valley goes on for ever, On the left they grow the grapes for making Burgundy, but I don't want a drink; I want a cigarette.

gatory. Of course, you can't smoke In places like Woolwich Arsenal and the atage of Covent Garden. but you can always get out of those. But I can't get out of here. Yes I can; we're at 'Marseilles already and bumping alarmingly. If I'd known that, I'd have used my car to get here.
I suppose this is what flying ought to be.
I lose my companion at Mar- scilics.
She got on the plane at Paris and she's flown to meet her husband, who is a war correspond- ent in Barcelona.
AT least his wife hopes bo's coming from Bar- celona. This morning his story in his paper was dale- lined Berlin. She thinks, though. that it's a mistake. Her husband's name and the man's in Berlin are a little alike—especially over the telephone.
My companion's husband, they say, is the only person who has put on weight living in Spain. Odd how one meets travelling-even dying.

At Lyons I went into a restau- rant. The second person I saw (the first was the barman) was a boy- hood Idol of mine-Abe Wadding- ton, the old Yorkshire fast bowler. I'd not seen him since the winter when he'd scribbled down his selec- tion for England's test team on a tablecloth. He seven Yorkshire-

men in it, saying it would beat Australia any time.
He exaggerated. It took only five Yorkshiremen to beat Aus- tralla after all at the Oval.
Abe played cricket again the other day; took a lot of wickets and made 70 runs and was in bed for a week after it with stiffness.
So this week he's taken a hell- day: co-piloting a plane across Europe to Rome, keeping one eye on The Crisla.
I envy Abe his plane. He can get out and smoke and to hell with a schedule. And dy low.
THE only time I ever enjoyed flying was Bying low. Coming back from Russia for the first hour the pilot of a small machine skimmed the tops of trees and farm houses. At least we seemed to be getting somewhere; you would see it for yourself. But this patchwork quilt of a nameless map I wonder which dates quicker-a radio set or
an aeroplane?

Now at Cannes it is blue and still. I don't like Cannes, but I like the hent that greets you as you get out on the airfield. I'm carrying my Jacket and waistcoat already.
It is a slick, characterless town except on the outskirts where they're playing boules-a game of bowls in the street with brass "woods."

His cap has the words' "Le Maire in silver on it. So that there should be no misunderstand- ing among his opponents.
It's lovely to see the sun again, It's better still, to be somewhere where it's taken for granted.
But I still don't like Cannes. Everybody wears such gaudy and scunt clothes; they all look as if they were on a cruise or at Mar- rate.
I suppose it's only natural. Everybody seems to be English. und, anyway, Cannes was founded by an Englishman.
I MUST go. The cafe I'm in has a sign outside: "Luncheons et Teas,"
My train goes in a quarter of an hour, thank heaven!
I'm going on from here to France.

His ally was, of all people, the high priest, who, having control of the temple premises, allowed him to take up his quarters in the courts of the house of God. "What sacrilege!" we cry. "Small wonder if God had destroyed them both."

Humour And
Chivalry
Love in the Run, By W. L. Lane
Crauford (Warti Lock. 75 l) There is an excellent couple of hours entertainment to be had out of this story of a reluctant politician whose romantic imagination leads him to do deeds of surprising der- ring-do.
When a beautiful damsel in a ruil- way carriage, surrounded by obvious ruffians, drops a note appealing for help. Hugh's quixotic instinets aro naturally aroused: and when, later, the damsel's shrieks of terror are heard emerging from the upper story of a lonely house, he naturally pre- sumes she is being tortured.
