...innovations at the Union in the Freshman dining room is a table at which only French is spoken, and which is served by a French waitress. Every evening one table is reserved exclusively for those who would like to converse in French, and under the supervision of Dr. Marcel Francon, the experiment has become very popular. A German table, also, has been organized by Reginald Phelps on the same basis, and is meeting twice a week at noon time, in the small dining room...
...French Communist Party was organized by a group of left-wing Socialists under Marcel Cachin. White-tied Laval disliked Communism and was disgusted at the growing conservatism of the other old-line Socialists. He broke away from the party altogether and has remained a complete independent.

Nevertheless they prevailed upon their backer, Perfumer Francois Coty, to give them another plane just like the wrecked one for a second try at a Paris-Tokyo nonstop flight. Such a flight, 6,032-mi., would retrieve for France the distance record which Boardman & Polando had just wrested away by flying...
...long, tapered wings stretched out 95 ft. Its Hispano Suiza engine roared with 650 h. p. Its narrow fuselage bore the legend Trait d'Union ("Hyphen"). In the cabin were short, squint-eyed Joseph Marie Lebrix, onetime flying partner (now enemy) of Dieudonné Coste; famed Aerobat Marcel Doret, and Mechanic René Mesnin. They were bound nonstop for Tokyo, 6,032 mi. away, farther than any plane had flown in a straight line. They were confident, because only a few weeks ago they had flown the Trait d'Union 6,560 mi. around a closed course...
