MOSQUITO
Mosquito, Mosquito, we hear you, we feel you, we know that you’re always
about.
That measly old song that you sing has no charms for Ohians, confound
you, get out.
I spot you, I swat you, I got you, Mosquito, I know that you punctured my
cheek.
Don’t need you, I’ll bleed you, I’ll feed your old carcass to fat worms both
wooly and sleek. /
4 Mosquito, Mosquito, I’ll teach you to bore all your gas wells in soil not so
rich. ,
I warn you that cheek’s mine, it was mine ’fore you were mosquito, or
cootie or sich.
You’re ugly, you’re nasty, you’re cruel, your dagger is poisoned, I’m surely
aware;
w A Dago’s stilletto is nothing compared with your vile old frogsticker, I’ll
swear.
Mosquito, Mosquito, I weep not, I pine not because you are now in the
soup;
For your kind’s not my kind, and that's why I’ll tell you for your kind
I don’t care a whoop.
I’ve mashed you, I’ve smashed, I’ve squashed you, don’t say that I’m sorry
hot.
So, good bye, mosquito, if you have a spirit, I hope it will go where it’s
about you, I’m not;

CAPTAIN FONCK, WAR ACE,
CAPT. HOMER BARRY. U. S. A.
SCHEDULED TO TAKE OFF
NEW YORK FIELD FEW DAYS
COURSE IS CAREFULLY PLANNED
Le Bourget, official landing place in
France; 3,600 mile flight land and
water.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14 (£>)—<“As
the S-35 flies,” may become the
shortest way from New York to
Paris. In a 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
$25,000 as reward for the first non
stop New York to Paris airplane voy
age.
“Cape Race will be the last ‘land
fall’ we’ll make,” said Captain Jack
Irin, reserve officer, United States
air service and radio export, in
charge of radio arrangements for the
flight. “That will be the last shore
station from which wre will get bear
ings, before going over the open
stretch of sea, here ships will have
to be relied on, in case a 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,
here communications will be received
from Crookhaven, Marconi’s first
wireless station. Then tne plane
will fly over the cliffs of Cornwall,
with “the Lizard” signalling f‘WOP”
as the S-35 ill be known on the air.
Ushant will be the first station call
heard .from France, and soon after
the thirtieth hour, the fliers expect ’
to sight Cherbourg. j
The S-35 will fly in the crow’s path j
from 'Cherbourg to Paris, and Le |
Bourget, the official landing field of \
the far end of the journey. j

“Thirty-six hours in the air should
account for his beautiful flight of
3,600 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 ibeen carefully
planned and charted, and our nav
1 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 da^ly 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
een hours of flying, radio bearings
will be received from powerful land
stations.

will be ready for shipment about August 15. We
would like to take care of your order now.
