A promise made is a debt unpaid, sort of stuff. Of course, you have guessed that The Three Mosquitoes were in imitation of "The Three Mus- keteers,"" Porthos, Artois and D'Artagnan. A cateh title, noth- ing more. Naturally, you will remember the setting, the mise en scéne, if we must use French. 1 repeat that we were invited to help entertain two noted fliers, and naturally, we talked aviation. I wonder if you agree with me. When I visit the butcher, I talk sausagé: ths undertaker, embalming; the doc- tor, ailments; the. preacher, re- ligion ; and so on, each one to his own trade. And also when ishness. And so these poor avia- tors had to listen to a lot of nonsense, when they would so much rather have discussed pro- tong, atoms and ecto plasms. But ag IT promised in a former article, there were three of us, beside the airmen that had flown, and we swanked. Now I must take that back. One of us three had flown in France, and is so modest, that one scarcely hears him tell of it. His interest was naturally, technical, and hut for our frequent interruptions, his would have been the good time. The second Mosquito had flown over this territory, and helped wap the Wabigoon, between vomiting spells... He had neglee- ted to take Mothersills, His pilot had a good deal of fun with him, and to the aviators, with experiences of similar pas- sengers, his story was interesting. We all like this chap, he is so brimful of good nature and humour. Strange to say, he has] two aversions, his motor boat, and myself. He has good reas- on, neither of us are reliable. Both of us are apt to do the unexpected. You have to get this in your minds, to understand what fol- lows. guests of Mrs. in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs.' J A.

Said I, A ertalind But I would like to) tell it to those two professionals, in this way." Said he, "What! way?' Said I, "Please don't interrupt,"' Said he, "Alright," and closed his eyes. I had to waken him three times, but I talze this as no reflection upon | myself, he sleeps easily. And this is what I told: * "It was a winter's sunghiny morning, that I took to fly from Montreal to New York, 1 paid my fare, buttoned my coat, and leaped into the cockpit, beside my pilot.

The funeral was held Thurs- day afternoon and was under the auspices of the Golden Star Magonie Lodge, Dryden, of which the deceased was a member. The first part of the service was held in St. John's church, Wabigoon, and interment was in Wabigoon cemetery. DANGERS OF THE ROAD In the last ten years mechani- cal transportation has killed no fewer than 45,000 British sub- jects, a enlosval total whieh might be compared to the casual- ties in a considerable war. It must be said that the enormous toll of casualties on the roads is a black mark against motor transportation, although it is to be feared that, owing to the radical difference in running conditions, it is impossible that ahe roads can ever be made as safe as the railways. .
