Industrial Conditions. France is still without an unem- ployed problem. In fact, farmers.. complain that hands are scarce, and factory and mining districts have reported no lay-offs, except ia cases of isolated labour disputes, which cared short-lived strike. The outstanding feature in France's industrial life is the alarming growth of the motor industry. France is now the second ration in the world in the production of automobiler. Two of the best- known popular cars are now suc cessfully conducting an "American" sales campaigo, in which ears are bought on long-term credite. The instalment system, which operates in almost every American business, is taking hold in France, and now

one can acquire a car for a first payment as low as 500 france.

Easy Payments." Furniture-dealers, department- stores, and Степ clothing-houses are beginning to advertise instal ment methods, and the success of this business has been immediate.

Considerable quantities of for eign manufactured goods have made their appearance in France, and the advent of American pro ducts has become more and more apparent. Minister of Commerce Flandin has forecast a rise in the American import tarifa if the Washington Government continues to discriminate against French ex- ports.

· Land and Sea Transport.

French shipping concerns are in- creasing their merchant fleets, the General Transatlantic Company having placed an order for six big freighters with a Belfast, firm. Commerce with the French colonies is steadily increasing, and several new industrial products are being experimented with, such as artifict al wool, combustibles, steel section al houses, even down to needles and imitation Swedish matches.

"Christian Science" was the sub- ject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, December 29,

The Golder Text was: The word of the Lord endureth for ever, And this is the word which unto. by the gospel is preached you (1 Peter 1: 95).

Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verk

France's aviation

accomplish- mente have been notable during the year, Coste and Bellonte hay- ing broken the world's record for straight-line non-stop flying in the Paris-Siberia flight. These same Aliers tried the difficult Paris-New York flight last summer, but show- ed their merit as aviators by re- turning in the teeth of storms and headwinds. Although they spent more than a day, in the air, their exploit was a splendid indication that good sense rather than fool- hardiness is prevailing, in French aviation.

The new Minister of Air, Laur- eat Eynac, has confined aerial ex- plaits to invaluable liaisons with France's colonies.

French artistic endeavour bas been stown in the institution of the Gasa Velasquez, which is a sort of French Academy in Madrid. Important Credits have been voted to make this French art centre in Spain worthy of France's artistic and intellectual traditions.

It is notable that war books by authors from both the allies and ex-enemy countries are being exten- sively translated and read in French. Remarque's book "On the Western Front" was one of the best sellers this year, and Derge les, "Wooden Cross," won him the Prix Goncourt.":
