"Thank You, Mister"

Ihank lou, MISTER
Quite often when drive to town,

Faces tanned a sunburned brown,
A bunch Of golfers caddies.
They signal that they want ride,
You know just how they do it.
And if perchance 1 past them glide,
I'm always sure to rue it.
It's quite a task to stop the car,
And load them in around me,
And if they walk, it isn't far,
My judgment says profoundly
But if stop and say to them,
Come boys, we must be going"
1 feel much better through the Gay,
My self-respect is growing.
And something seems to stire inside,
AS thcy climb in around me,
think of how I'd catch ride,
In days now far behind me.
And as we ride, smile and say
II missed you yester' morning.

So let this be warning

More Truth Than Poetry
BORROWING TROUBLE
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

I know uncOunted trllllOn miles
Il think I have the figure rlghD
Extend between the starry isles
That dot the ocean OF the night;
Through such a vast extent OF space
A million comets might career,
A billion meteorS might race
And never grave q single sphere.
AS for oul trifling little earth.
It is a mere sidereal mote
Too insignificant in girth
For first class orbS to mark or note
A comet, in the great eXpanse
Which measurements may never
sound
Has not vigentillionth chance
Of ever kicking us around.
Yet when I see shining tail
Ablaze on the nocturnal sky
Clr when the morning star turns pale,
I view it with troubled eye:
I shudder at the cleaning thing
That cleaves the darkness like u
knife
And frequently my hands I wiring,
And wish I'd led better lie.
Up there in that nnfathomed gloom
Which we refer to as the sky,
The comet has abundant room
To go It's way and pass us by;
One chance in trillions there may be
That it will bump Us in its flight
Yet constantly it worries me
To think perhaps the blame thing
might!

CHASED BY FRENCH PLANES.
Levine Gives Drouhin Unpleasant
Surprise by Flight.

PARIS, August 90 tR.-Charles A.
Levine took French leave of France
today. Without telling any one OF
his intentions, he flew his transatlan
tic monoplane Columbia away from
Lee Bourget Field and went straight
to London, giving Maurice Drouhln
the most unpleasant of all the sur
prises that have come the French-
mans way since he agreed to pilot Le-
vine from Paris to New York.
When it was learned that Levine
had slipped away in the Columbia
two French pilots set out to "catch
him." but failed. Drouhin then an
nounced that he would sue Levine in
the United States for breach of con
tract. He said he had taken the pre-
caution to have the contract registered
at the American consulate.
Levine, it is said, never posted the
300 900 francs which the contract
called for as an insurance fund for
Drouhin's family, and with the Co
lumbia out of the country there is
nothing which can be attached in lieu
Of the money.
Drouhin has for his trouble. 1t Is
added, only 10000 francs Of his two
months pay of 100000 francs.
Mrs. Levine is leaving for the
United States tomorrow on the
lie de France. When informed that
her husband was safe in London she
said she did not know whether he
was coming back to France. but add
ed that he had no intention of going
home by boat. She declined to say
whether he expected to get British
pilot for his transatlantic hop.

fairly stiff breeze across the runway.
Those people in Newfoundland built

we did not use more than half of it.
One would think, perhaps. it would
be a memorable sensation to start to

ments.

RAIN TURNS BACK
CARING FLYERS
London-to- London Hop Is
Halted Over Lake
Ontario by Storm.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Ont, August 29.-The
monoplane Sir John CARING, which
took off early this morning for Lon
don, Eng, returned to its starting
point today, driven back by storm
it ran into south of Oakville.
Capt Terry Tully and Lieut.. James
Medcalf took off in the Stinson-De-
troiter monoplane at $50 o'clock this
morning and were back at their start
ing point at IL o'clock.
Although the weather I-as fine at
the hop-off, the aviators ran into
heavy rainstorm while flying over
Lake Ontario. When they reached
Oakville, Just west of Toronto. they
decided that storm conditions were
so severe that it would be unwise to
continue.
After a run of about three-quarters
of a mile down the field, the flyers
made a perfect getaway into the gray
dawn. They, took off to the west, and
after circling the city to gain height,
turned the nose Of the plane toward
the rising sun.
The attempted 3,742-mile flight is
for the 5000 CARING prize.
Start Virtually Perfect.
AS the great plane rose with its
heavy load cheer was given by the
II 900 spectators at the field.
The start could not have been more
nearly perfect.
At $50 Capt. Tully kissed his wife
good-by and climbed into the cockpit.
Five minutes later, +. J. Mulligan,
expert of the Wright Airplane Corpo-
ration, started twirling the propeller
and calling for contact. For few
minutes the spark failed to fire. But
at 5:43 the great motor roared into
action, and the propeller became a
blur Of whirling metal.
Tully allowed the motor to roar for
a few minutes to give the motor an
opportunity to warm up. But at $50
the plane began to move. slowly at
first, then faster and faster as the
propeller's whirling increased, and its
pull began to get the mass of more
than 2h tons into motion.
Rapidly the machine gathered speed
and about three quarters of a mile

ance, congra tulated him on his narrow
escape from an accident.
Levine's flight from Paris was an
absolutely solo performance. as he
was unaccompanied even by mech
anician. Queried as to his plans and
whether Capt. w. G.. Hinchcliffe, Brit
ish aviator, was going to pilot him
over the Atlantic, Levine said he did
not know and countered by asking
where Capt. Hinchcliffe was. When
told that the British flyer was in Co
logne, Germany, Levine had no COM
ment TO make.
He was attired in an ordinary busi-
ness suit and brought no baggage and
no passport He told his questloners
that he might leave the plane here
and go back to France.
