ANAMNAAA&a
BY HOWARD r, oARls,
After school, on the day when Uncle
Wiggily had made such a nice, slippery
slide IN front Of the hollow stump school,
the animal boys and girls had lots OF
fun on the little hill And even the
next day Johnnie and Billie BushytalL
the squirrels: Sammie and Susie Little-
tail, the rabbits, and all the others came
SO early to slide before their lessons
that not n OF them was late Tor

One day, when the first slippery

So Uncle wiggiy went out, As

U. S. FLIERS MAKE
FIRST AIR TRIP
ACROSS ATLANTIC

The United States is again leading
the world. Three navy hydroplanes
flew from our shores to the Azores
islands, in the Atlantic. 1850 miles, a
few days ago. One machine landed
safely ahead of schedule time. The
others were compelled to alight on the
water a short distance from the is
lands, but the crews of six men each
finally reached there safely. One ma
chine sank after the crew left it. One
machine expected to resume the flight
to Portugal Thursday of this week
thus completing the first flight across
the Atlantic ocean. Thus another great
event in history has been accomplished
by plucky Americans.
An Australian named Hawker flew
from American shores last Sunday in
a land machine, from which he dropped
the 'unnipg carriage to tighten 1t. His
destination was the Irish coast, but he
was lost in the ocean. No trace of him
has been found. He had one man with
him. They had no line of vessels to
guide and patrol 1t was a very bold
and foolhardy attempt to cross the
ocean without q stop. A London news
paper has made a standing offer of
$4,000 to the first man who accom-
plishes this great feat.
