 Danny Meadow Mouse was enjoy ing his daily life at the seashore. He was cutting little paths this way and that way through the grass on the salt marsh just as he used to do through the grass of the Green Meadows. Ii was very different there from what it had b. on the Green Meadows. Always there was black, damp earth under his feet. II never was dry. You see. twice a day the tide came creeping in and covered the marsh. Danny never got over the scamper back 10 his snug nest in a hollow log OH the high ground just beyond the cd of the marsh. When the tide went out he would once more go back on the marsh. There was always something new to find. Sometimes he would come to little Smiling Pools and looking into them he would see minnows darting about in all directions. Then, one day one of his little paths opened onto broad patch Of mud.
 Danny sat there at the end of his little path, looking out al that brown mud; in fact, it was almost black. There wasn't so much as q single spear of grass growing on it.. It was soft in some places, and out in the mid little water was standing

Washington. Sept. 15 P>-Nayal aviators are jubilant today over remarkable record of flying 216,000 miles in less than a year, without single forced landing, established by torpedo and bombing plane Squad ron No. l of the scouting fleet air craft sQuadrons.
 This is equivalent 10 making eight and q half round -the-world flights without a forced landing, or 72 trips across the Atlantic.
 At the same time the navy an- nounced that more than 100000 miles have been flown on scheduled operations over the model airways of the army since their inception in 1922, with only one fatality. This distance is equal to As times around the world.
 Squadron No. 1 of the navy is composed of twelve planes and is commanded by Lieut. Commander E. W. Spencer. It's flying accomplish ment was the result of routine work from the time of the squadron's commissioning last fall until the end of August.
 During the winter of 1925-1926 the squadron based on Guantanamo, Cuba for winter manoeuvres they operated from the base for about four months and then flew back 10 Norfolk, Va. Last June, six of the planes flew to Newport, k. l., for summer manoeuvres and gunnery exercises.
 The army aiEways were started largely through utilizing of existing facilities as a medium for training air corps personnel. They have been gradually improved and extended until now there is a we'll equipped system of air routes connecting the centers of military activities located between Mitchell field, N. Y, and Kelly field, San Antonio. with fur ther extensions proposed. Rather than hasten these extensions, how | ever efforts are now being concen- trated on making the established | routes more secure.
