CAPTAIN FONCk, WAR ACE, CAPT. HOMER BARRY. U. S. A.. SCHEDULED TO TAKE OFF NEW YORK FIELD FEW DAYS
COURSE IS CAREFULLY PLANNED
Le 6ourget, official landing place in France; $500 mile flight land and water.

the S-35 flies," may become the
 shortest way from New York to
 Paris. In huge tri-motored Sikor-
 sky plane, Rene Fonck, French ace,
 is trying to succeed where other
 aircraft have failed. With him are
 Captain Homer Barry, former United States army flier, and Lieutenant Allan Snody, U. s. N. At the end of the flight, which is expected to be- gin in a few days, if successful, is 1 $25,000 as reward for the first non- stop New York to Paris airplane voy- age.
 "Thirty-six hours in the air should account for his beautiful flight of $500 miles, 2,100 of them over wat er." said Captain Fonck. We shall fly at an average speed of 100 to 120 miles an hour.
 "The course has been carefully planned and charted, and our nav igators will be aided by radio bear ings received from government sta- tions, which will furnish a check on our compass findings. Weather re- ports received twice daily from ships ahead of us will guide us in flying high or low, or circling, un- desirable weather conditions"
 The course of the S-35 is from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, New York's official landing field, up the coast of New England to Boston, where the plane leaves land travel. and flies out over the ocean, north, past Portsmouth, N H., Cape Eliza beth, off Portland, Maine, Cape Sa- bel, N. s. Halifax, and Cape Race, Newfoundland. Up to this point, reached in the first sixteen to eight cen hours of flying, radio bearings will be received from powerful land stations.
 Cape Race will be the last land fall we'll make" said Captain Jack Irin, reserve officer, United States air service and radio expert, in charge of radio arrangements for the flight. That will be the last shore station from which we will get bear ings, before going over the open stretch of sea, here ships will have to be relied on, in case compass check is wanted"
 The first point of land that the ] S-35 will top on the other side, will be the Southwest tip of Ire'and, 1 here communications will be received l from Crookhaven, Marconis first wireless station. Then the plane | will fly over the cliffs oe Cornwall, | with "the Lizard' signalling '.WOP" as the S-35 i'll be known on the air. Ushant will be the first station call heard from France, and soou after the thirtieth hour, the fliers expect to sight Cherbourg.
 The S-35 will fly in the crows path from Cherbourg to Paris, and Ie bourget, the official landing field of the far end of the journey

The automobile industry was mentioned as only now ready for the shorter schedule. Other fields ripe for the step, in the view of Mir. Green, are the building trades, mining industry and needle crafts.
 The flve-day week seems ineviti- ble in American labor" Mir. Green said. flor the simple reason that tt is economically sound and profitable. It is profitable for tho worker and for the employer. and has been tre- mendously successful In the numer- ous crafts in which it already par tially effective.

FAMILIES EV|CTED
 BY MIDNIGHT FIRE
Aroused From Sleep, Driven. to
 Street by Flames

Families living in a two-stor1 frame house at 45s Pennington av- enue were aroused from their sleep by fire shortly before midnight last night, and before the fire depart ment arrived, the house was burn. ing briskly, having caught apparent ly from flames from defective chimney. A telephone alarm was sent to Co. No. and First Deputy Chief F. F. Barnes also responded at 11:5S o'clock. Realizing that the house would be destroyed unless help was obtained without delay, Chief Barnes ordered an alarm from Box 447, bringing other companies.
 The flames ate their way to the exterior of the house and the dam age by fire and water will amount to several hundred dollars, accord ing to Chief Barnes. Had it been discovered few moments sooner, it's spread could have been prevent ed but under the circumstances, the firemen did well to overcome fl without a total loss.
 At o'clock last night fire was discovered in wooden building in the rear of S5 Lafayette street, the cause probably being the wiring Of an automobile owned by Arthur La Flamme of the same address. which had been driven into the building a few hours earlier.
 The building is one Of the oldest on the street and of late has been used for garage purposes. Bernard Miller owns the property. The au- tomobile was destroyed and motor cycle was also damaged The fire de- partment answered an alarm from Box 42.
 At 7:S4 this morning, Co. No. was called to 8 chimney fire In the Grocock home at 225 Vine street. There was no damage.

LEADING COACHES
 DIVIDE ON SCOUTS
tContinued from First Page)

1 necessary to specialize training tc | meet certain types of offensive.
 If the elimination of scouting 1 should be made a rule the rules would have to limit the number and kinds of offensive plays to be used, he concluded.
 Holy Cross and Brown Coach O'Donnell of Holy Cross however, said that the abolition of scouting would be ''an ideal ar rangement." Coach McLaughry of Brown said that Brown would prob ably not try this year to make a mo- scouting agreement with any of its opponents but that scouting was "overdone," that it's value was over rated and that no-scouting agree ments would benefit the game. Coach Hawley of Dartmouth said that recognized scouting as it is now practiced is good thing, be- cause it is free and aboveboard and tends to briug colleges closer to- gether." Scouting, he contended, raised the standards of college ath- letics because it placed it on more personal basis.
 Fears Amateur Scouts
 Scouting could not be abolished in any case, he said, because alumni and thousands of interested persons, including gamblers, would flood coaches with information about the opposing team.
 This increase in amateur scout ing, he said, would tend to harm the game by bringing people of doubtful character into the sphere of the sport.
 Harvard's Position
 "Bill' Bingham, director of ath- letics at Harvard, inclined to look upon scouting as not desirable but said that before entering into any change in Harvard football policies he desired to have the benefit of a years experience as director of ath- letics. Bingham said that he had been approached concerning a non- scouting agreement last spring but had explained his position then and that the matter had not been brouht up again.

 "I favor the idea of Yale and Princeton, I never put great im- portance on scouting. It will have a tendency to make players think for themselves little bit more."
