ible Los Angeles returned to the air
station from 14-hour training cruise
and search off the New England coast
for the-French aviators, Nungesser
and Coli.
The search extended no farther

extreme low visibility north Of that
point.
1--WE covered about 600 nautical
miles," he said, "and, except for about
an hour and a half, visibility was
very good. If Nungesser's plane was
anywhere in the vicinity, we could,
with the exception of that hour and a
half, have sighted it at ten miles in
any direction.

SUMMER

When the grass is waving sea,
When the woodpecker's a busy drum
mer
Against the sappy maple tree!
The bees are on each fragant flower,
The peoples, lilies, and dahlias fair
All gently sway as DER them tower
The lovely birds so rare.
The butterfly with his gauzy wings
Fits around from morn till night,
And all the fair-voiced brides sing;
o! summer is a glorius sight!

TOURIST CAMP FOR RICHMOND
Federal Automobile Association Pro-
NOTES Touring.

A new tourist camp for Richmond
has been established at the Monroe
place, located at Stop II, Petersburg
Pike.
The Federal Automobile Associa-
tion, National Organization of col
ored motorists, headquarters at Wash
ington, D. c., has been active during
the past week in this city. The F. A.
A. was established nearly two years
ago, as result of the policy adopted
by its contemporary organization, the
A. A. A. in limiting their member
ship to the white race. 1t was deemed
expedient by a group of influential
men in Washington that Negroes
should have the benefit of National
Organization to promote good will and
provide facilities and accommodations
for touring. 1t is seldom that Negro
tourists are seen on the magnificent
highways that were built to induce
taxpayers generally to enjoy some of
the wonders of our own scenery. The
Federal Automobile Association, in
establishing a tourist camp at Rich
mond, is adding another link in the
chain of camps that are being estab-
lished throughout the country, and
with its vast membership will be a
powerful factor in influencing cross
country travelling.
