The Fitting.

The old folk vowed they would keep
me from my love
They said. If need be, WI the stick
o. the broom!!
They barred the gate In the garden
wall fast
That none might enter TIN the Day
o Doom.
Soft in the morning my true love
tossed his pledge,
Sweet TO me as fragrance of apples
on the bough.
1t laughed in my bosom while the old
folk Knocked;
"Wherc in the wide world is vour
true lover now"
Soft in the noontide tossed my answer
far.
Sweet to him as flowers that fall
from yondcr lime;
And j heard how he laughed through
Granny in the wall
when they said, whats keepin' him
this long, long timer"
Soft in the darkness we hcld each other
close.
How did we find our way to ni,,in-
all SO soon?
Who but the old folk would snore III,
break o. day
When the. Good Folk are calling
meath the sickle moon"

OF the credit for successful air fighting be-
longs TO the pilot. rather than TO his OBJ

fires the arms with which the craft is

shot. but to the best maneuvcrer The
binary war biplane is so equipped that it
can fire in almost every direction. except
below and behind It. Therefore, when an
air fight is in progress. both machine con-
stantly Jockey FOR such position, which
not only gives momentary safety from at

shooting. This is we'll recognized that
when an enemy machine is brought down,
it is the pilot to whom the feat is credited.
thus, i'll aerial warfare at least, neither the
man behind the gun tho commanding
officer gains glory but the man responsible
for many more victories than are recorded
