Chichester’s Flight

“CEAPLANE SOLO,” Mr. Francis flight across the Tasman Sea, from Wellington to the Australian coast near Sydney, a distance of I*lso miles, is exhilarating reading.

After countless initial difllculties, lie left Auckland at six- in the morning, having previously flown there from Wellington, in a Moth aeroplane which he had converted into a seaplane. He covered the 200 miles to flic northernmost point of New Zealand, and then flew, before sunset, the 500 miles to Norfolk Island. From Norfolk Island he "flew, in a hurricane, to Lord Howe Island, an even tinier point to find. Here the ’plane was wrecked, rebuilt with the assistance of the islanders, and dispatched for its third hop of 480 miles, the rebuilt engine giving trouble all the way. Mr;'Winchester arrived in a bay 80 miles south of Sydney six hours after leaving Lord Howe Island. This excellently written narrative of stirring ardours and endurances is full of the most engaging humor and high spirits, and goes at a great pace. CAMPERS IN TROUBLE. Once again Labor Week-end was wet;*anil as can be expected many of those enthusiastic campers who ventured into the open returned home somewhat the worse for their outing. Three Christchurch campers* in particular had a very rough spin. Arriving at their camp, wet and cold, they were unable to light, a decent lire. To make matters worse their tent was small and they spent a very uncomfortable night with the tent leaking whenever they touched the sides. Colds all round were the result, and for the rest of their holiday they were in a worry plight. This is another case where Baxter's Lung Preserver could have saved the situation. Chills are often unavoidable, but a few timely doses of “Baxter’s” will quickly set things right. It is just when you least expect a cold that you most need “Baxter’s.” This rich, warming compound gives quick relief from effects of chills and drives away coldw and ’flu. Nothing c:-tn spoil a holiday more than a miserable influenza cold. Keep clear of them. Keep-“ Baxter’s” handy. Get •ne of the l/fi; 2/t> or 4/0 sizes to-day from any chemist or store. And don’t forget .about “Baxter’s” famous tonic properties.*
