Men Sent to Other Side as
Preparation for Over
sea Flight.

Preparations for the navy's overseas
flight yesterday began to look as II
near the final stage at Rockaway
Beach. While the work OF readjusting
the NC and Nc 4 kept the hangers
hunaining all day. the Nc 8 made a
noteworthy flight under the guidance OF
the men who have had most to do with
the arrangements for the race across
the ocean. So
Commander John H. Tower, In gen.
ersl charge Of the flight plans, came on
from Washington for yesterdays flight
and with him In the NC as big canoe
were Lieut. Commander =. n. l.. Bel
iinger. just back from Newfoundland on
important work in the selection OF a
jumping-off place there. and Commander
A. B. Richardson and Lieut.. David Nc
Cullouch, two of the men who are al
most sure Of places as pilots on the
navy's transatlantic team.
The NC 3. with her engines read
justed SO as to place three tractors
abreast between the wings, and the
fourth engine alone as a pusher. was in
the water and being tuned at 80 this
morning. At $50 the officers men
toned and mechanicians. bringing the
total load up TO nine, climbed aboard
and TAXED out into the bay. The star
board engine was not working when the
NC left the beach. but she responded
readily TO the pull Of the joystick and
rose rapidly TO height Of 500 feet.
At the end of an hours cruise she pulled
into the beach once more and It was
deserved that her starboard engine was
stu Idle. The officers on board said
that II had remained idle throughout
the trip. This. however was looked upon
more as proof Of the planes ample
power than as any ,erious defect
The NC 3 had many companions in
the air on her flight A dirigible was
busy on some minor tests, lazily ignor-
ing the airplanes. OF the latter three
were executing some preliminary fiops
before starting for New York to do
some stunts for the Liberty Loan.
Things were Just as busy ashore as
they were afoat. The NC 2 probably
has definitely ended her career. Big
progress had been made yesterday in
transferring the wings Of this boat to
the NC /, whose fuselage had been
found superior but whose own wings
were smashed in the recent storm. On
both the NC l and the NC work Is
progressing in the relocation Of the
motors on the plan tested and found so
much more powerful on the NC 3.
Neither Commander Tower nor Com
snander Bellinger would discuss the
probable date Of the start of the navys
entries. Everyone on the station. how
ever, is plainly cheered by the news
from Newfoundland showing that the
British teams so early on the ground
are having their handicap cut down by
the bad weather
Thirty-six men have already left the
Hockaway station for Newfoundland

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made at home,
but 1t beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands OF housewives have found
that they can save two-thirds of the
money usually spent for cough prep
arations, by using this well-known old
recipe for making cough syrup at home.
1t is simple and cheap but it really has
no equal for prompt results. 1t takes
right hold of a cough and gives imme-
diate relief, usually stopping an ordi-
nary cough in "a hours or less.
Get 2R ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into pint bottle and
add plain granulated sugar syrup to
make full pint. If you prefer, use
clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it
tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts
a family long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through. every. air
passage of the throat and lungs-loos-
ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and
heals the membranes, and gradually
but surely the annoying throat tickle
andpdreaded cough disappear entirely.
Nothing better for bronchitis, spas

asthma.
Pinex is a special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, known the world over for
its healing effect on the membranes.

with full directions and don't accept
anything else. Guaranteed to give abb
