Royal Air Force Plans Expe-
dition Into the Far East
ALSO TO ' AUSTRALIA
London—All ` summer preparations
have been going forward for the great
cruise to be made by officers and men
of the Royal Air Force, in four huge
super -marine Southampton flying
boats, A start will probably be made
in October on a flight that eventually
will cover about 25,000 miles.
The machines, whose equipment is
being completed, will each carry 'a
crew 00 foul; and the first objective of
the expedition will be Singapore. Here
they will be met by Royal Australian
Air Force men in two similar ma-
chines, and the six will continue to
Australia -'and around the Australian
lseaboard.
To Test Aircraft
The cruise is to test the capabilities
of the metal hulls of which the ma-
chines are conateructed; to reconnoitre
the eastern route with a special eye
to likely sites, dor seaplane bases, and
gnera'lly show fihe R.A.F. ensign right
acrose the world,
The commander of the flight will be
Captain Cave Browne -Cave, .D.S.O.,
D.F.C., one of Britain's most . distin-
guished aces. Sgoiadran-leader G. E.
Livoek will be second in command.
The flying boats to be used are
equipped• with two . Napier -Lion 00
horsepower engines each. Their met-
al hulls, it is believed, will give them
longer life in the water than wooden
hulls, and the hulls are roomy enough
to provide ample space br•a navigat-
or's e'hart table and wireless operator's
section, with directional wireless.
Gunnery and control cockpits' are
features of the machines, which con-
tain collapsible bunks so that_the crew
of four men each can sleep aboard.
Speed Not Main Idea
The serviceability and not speed is
the main idea in the flight. Two
spare machines of the same type will
be first sent to Singapore as reserves
for use if necessary.
Two more boats of the sante type,
but with wooden hulls, are being com-
pleted here for the Auetralian govern-
ment, and these are the ones which
join tb'flight at Singapore.
The bight will coast all round- India
up to Calcutta, probably calling at
Colombo en route.'A seaplane flight
round the Indian coast has• never yet
been made, Yor the seaplanes of COI-
onel: de Pined° and Sir Alan. Cobhaf
crossed India by means .2‘f,the rivers.
Singapore will' be the next important
post of call, and in view of the naval
developments there the visit of this.
fllghtawill certainly be- of considerable
importance. Probably the Australian
flight will meet the home flight there,
rind both will thea proceed to Darwin
aucl round the west and south coaste
of Australia to Melbourne. The most
difficult part of this last stage is
crossing the Great Australian Bight.
But Wing Commander Cyobie once
flew across the Bight in a Fairey sea•
plane, so the six Southamptons ought
to be able to manage it,
The whole cruise will cover some
25,000 miles, and in al,i probability

his party will be away from home for
the best part of a year.

RETAIN YOUR VIGOR
This Can Only be Done by Keep-
• ing the Blood Rich and Red.
If you would regain your vigor and
ambition, keep your blood and nerves
in good condition. Anaemia, or thin
blood lowers the vitality, starves the
nerves and causes a general run-down
condition. When the blood is thin
the skin loses its color, the shoulders
droop and weight is,lost. The victim
of anaemia loses appetite, suffers
from Indigestion, headaches and sleep-
lessness, and is nervous and exhaust-
ed after slight exertion. If you have
any of these symptoms do not delay
but begin treatment now with Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and you will be
gratified . with the prompt improve•
ment in ,your condition. • Among the
thousands who have found now health

Bucking Horse Champion
"Bring 'eta on" Bays Pete Knight of Crossfield, Alberta, and Canadian"
North American Bucking Horse Champion. He gained this title at the
Calgary Stampede held in the west recently against competitors from all'
parts of • Canada and the United States, and in doing'. so proved himself
master of anything the western plains could produce in the way of equine
fury. The elaborate saddle that Knight is photographed holding is one of
the trophies he won through his skill; another, symbolic' of his cherished
championship, is seen in the inset and was presented by Edward F. Albee,
theatrical magnate. The Calgary Stampede which has become an
annual event is regarded as the finest of its kind • held on the continent.
Radio and . Fire
Sets in Country Need Extra
Care in Proper Grounding
as Protection Against'
Lightning -
In installing a radio receiving sat
in the country, that is en the farms
and In villages and towns where there
are few 'street wires -and pipes to•ear
ry away lightning charges, a little ex-
tra care is advisable. Lightning may
be attracted by the aerial and travel-
ing down this may not only demolish.
the set but destroy the house as well
But by the addition of a simple
grounding device the lightning will
be deflected harmlessly into the earth.
The Ontario Fire Marshal's Depart-
ment advise keeping, all aerials, if
mounted on the roof, below the term-
inals of the ,regular lightning rod
masts. It is better' to place the
aerial away from buildings altogether,,
using poles for this special purpose
only. _There should be' -a good sized,
single pole knife switch between the
aerial and the set. The -middle .of
this switch is connected' to the aerial
and, one end to the set and the other
to the ground. When the set is not
in use the aerial should be directly'
connected to the grotind and there'
should. always be a tag attaching to
the set warning people,aga'nst using
the same during an electridal.stoi'm.
Iflightning should strike the aerial
it will then travel down the wire'
through the knife switch and into the
ground, connection without going.
through the receiving apparatus. But,
I warns Deputy Fire. Marshal George
IP. Lewis; this devise 'should not be
confused with a lightningrod; it will
not protect the house but simply
takes the charge away from the radio
set.
IIISTAKFS MOTHERS MAKE
1111 CARE OF LITTLE OAS
Many mothers give their children
solid foods at too early an age and
say proudly that their babies "eat
everything that grown-up people do."
Such a course is almost certain to
bring on indigestion and lay the- foun-
dation of much i11 -health for the lit-
tie one.
Other mothers administer harsh,
nauseating purgatives which in real-
ity irritate and injure the delicate
stomach and bowels and at the same
time cause the children to dread all
medicine.
Absolutely no meat should' be given
to a child until it reaches the ago of
18 months, and then only if approved
by the doctor. For medicine, all
strong, disagreeable oils and: powders
should be abandoned and Babys' Own
Tablets given instead..
Baby's Own Tablets are especially
made for little ones. They are eleg-
ant to take and can be given with ab-
solute safety to even the new-born
babe. They quickly banish constipa-
tion and indigestion; break up colds
and • simple fevers and make the cut-
ting of teeth easy. They are sold by
medicine dealers or by mail at 25
cents a box from The Dr- Wlllams'
