Match Record Broken. All records in the annual bombard- Army Air have been broken at Langley Fleid, Hampton Va., by a bombing team composed of Lieut. Robert T. Cronau, Alr Corps organizations in the ma- chine gun and bmble.u: matches, Cronau and Burnside rolled up a score of 1,894 points out of a score of 2,000. This is the hest acore Wednesday Thursday ¢ | Wright ever made since the bombardment matches began at Langley in 1825. Cronau and Burnside magde their rec- ord high score bon;bh:g from altitudes of 5,000 and 8,000 feet. % Lieut. David D. Graves, $3th Pursult Squadron, Rockwell Field, ., Was winner of the pursuit match. Firing fixed guns at both ground and tow tar- gets and dropping bombs from low al- titudes, he scm‘le)ld 755.5 porll';t.;s%ul of a maximum possible score of 1,550. In the competition for observation and attack pilots, including the firing of fixed guns at both ground and tow tar- gets and bombing from Jow altitudes, ieut. Irving R. Selby, Scott Field, Il was high with a score of 656 out of & ssible 1,350. puLfle’ut. John K. Poole, Crissy Field, Calif., won the observers’ match with & score of 657.5 out of a maximum of 1,350, including the firing of flexible guns at both ground and tow targets. ‘The gunnery and bombing scores for pursuit, observation and attack pilots and observers were well above average for the matches, The fact that they are apparently low is due to the extreme difficulty of firing accurately from planes maneuvering at varying speeds, the uncertainty of atmospheric condi- tions and other factors entering into aerial gunnery work which tend to make the scoring of high marks virtually im- possible. a5 Balfimore Plans Show. Approximately 35 military and com- mercial airplanes are expected to be en- tered in the second Baltimore airtraft show, November 15 to 22, at the Curtiss Airport. The Flying Club of Baltimore, spon- soring the show, will utilize two large steel and concrete hangars, with a tem- porary exhibition building connecting them. Air circuses are planned for both Sundays of the show. The first show was hald in the 5th Regiment Armory. The change of loca- tion was made so that lane manu- facturers, distributors and lers would not be forced to dismantle planes, haul them through the city streets, reassem- ble them at the exposition building, and then reverse the procedure after the show. This year planes will be flown to the airport and pushed directly to the exhibition spaces. Versatile Bombers. The Army bombardment airplane, scatterer of death and destruction on a tremendous scale in time of war, finds constructive and useful outlets for its deadly talents in time of peace. From France Field, Panama, comes a report to the War Department of the use of bombardment planes for the of swamps which breed malarial mosquitoes. Paris green is the poison used and it is distributed by means of a special hopper rigged in the bombing compartment of the plane. Dusting was conducted 4rom an alti- tude of 20 to 40 feet, 600 pounds being a load for a single trip. The results were described as most encouraging. Practically all the larvae were led and those which remained alive did so only because they were too small to absorb any of the poison. Seven to ten dustings a season, it is believed, wiil kill practically all of the larvas of the malaria mosquito. Use of the bombers made possible dusting operations over much larger areas than could be co by any other method. Experiments are to be made with spraying of oil from plancs for the same purpose. ‘Within a day or two after the Panama report came in the War Department re- celved another report of the use of bombardment gll:nu for the sowing of seed in Oahu, Hawall. The sowing was done from planes of the 18th Composite Wing, Army Alr Corps, Fort Shafter, Hawail, at the request of the forestry division of the Hawalian Su Plant- ers’ Association and the Itorial Board of Agriculture and Forestry.

One of the ideal vacations in Europe is to be in the region of Montreux, in Switzerland, in the Fall and early Win- ter, after the rush of tourists. There at the end of the Lake of Geneva the rose gardens and geraniums will be found still in bloom, and the red will be as decorative as ever on the lakeside. Yet by the little funicular rallroad, 35 minutes away, you can be in the midst of Winter sports. The line to Caux is one of the steepest in Switzerland, rising in a few moments from 1,145 to 3,350 feet, but it will give such scenery and such rewards at the top that you will repeat it almost daily. for a re —hurm mosquitoes, sowing I Y.
