EXPLOITS Of BOY
AVIATOR ASTOUND
English Airman for Sheer
Audacity Over Enemy
Country.

William Philip Sims with the Brit
ISh armies in the field on Saturday
says that an eighteen-year-old "war
baby" making his first flight alone
over enemy territory, was awarded
JAe roIm today among England'5 air
men fer sheer audacity in the an!az-
ing list Of aerial exploits heralding
Jhe opening Of the Flanders offensive.
The youngster swept far over the
enemy territory and then swooped
back, flying within a few feet of the
ground. He spied a detachment of
German infantry crossing bridge,
md promptly let loose with his ma
chine gun Utterly disregarding the
nail OF fire they turned upon him,
ne circled back and forth, barely over
their heads, his machine run eating
away. He saw four or five corpses
before the Germans gave way and
sought shelter in nearby bitches.
The airman swooped around a lit
tie more, found his quarry too well
covered up and then winged bIythely
en- his way.
Next he swooped over an open mo-
tor ca on wide road, letting loose
his machine gunfre at an officer in
the tonneau. The machine turned in
to side road and its driver opened
wide the throttle. The officer turn
ed against his adversary, a few feet
aIoft, md began firing with his au-
tomtic revolver.
The "war baby" felt he couldn't
he so unaportSman-like as to return
the German officers feeble pistol fire
with his machine gun, so he stopped
the latter and from the air staged
a revolver duel with the flying enc
my. Suddenly the automobile was
iammcd to a stop. The British plane,
fifty feet above and twenty-five feet
behind, could not stop, but the avia-
tor hurriedly circIed back. Then he
saw his adversary being hurriedly
dragged into house. Meanwhile a
perfect rain of anti-aircraft shells and
machine gun bullets spat all about the
Iplanc. The pilot twirled around a
few times, shot high up into the
skies, disappeared into the clouds and
|6y and by came home unframed.
. Nearly al, of the aerial fighting on
the day Of aviation wonders, Of which
the foregoing was just an incident,
was ct attitudes of less than 200 feet.
The clouds hung so low that such
fvng had to be at this level if the
av;ators expected to see anything.

not to the boiled shirt reformers. 1t
it all right to yell to somebody else
to go in and get licking, but they
don't go in and get one themselves.
Why don't they reach down into their
pockets and buy advertising space and
sign their names in full and so stand
responsible for it. No, they want
the press to call the men names, and
then they want the press to pay the
cost. The publicity hOwlers on the
reform band wagon make me sick.
Up in Georgia they call ba9d wagon
followers coat-tail swingers. Believe
me, that must be some large coat
tail that is here in Pensacola right
now. These little two-by-four brain
ed busy-body reformers that hold their
secret conferences and stand on
street corners whispering together
amuse me- They are such kids. Why
don't they come out above board and
take up reform for their life work
and be like some fool women who
take up everything that comes along
for fad and then drop it the mo-
ment it has passed the zenith Of pop
ularity.
Hone of Purity,
"The hope Of purity is not in the
men and women Of this generation,
but in the boys and girls who will
make up the next. You might as
we'll try to train hog to be a Beau
Brummel as to try and cleanup the
bunch we now have. Whitewash a
hog and you have a hog still.
Whitewash a city, and you have the
same old filth underneath. The hope
of a virie nation is in the youth of
the land If America is going to
withstand the tempest of vice the
youth must do it. Then for Ameri-
cas- and for Gods sake keep the II
to 2O-year-old kids, both boys and
girls, off the streets and out of the
parks and out of the automobiles af-
ter dark. Bring in a curfew law.
This land may be land of liberty
but it is not land of license, and if
parents have not got enough interest
in the welfare in their children to
keep them inside after dark and so
protect them from temptation then
let's get the state to have enough
interest in her perpetuation to legis-
| late barriers around the young man.
hood and young womanhood of this
nation to protect them from vice.

in favor Of segregating the men and

should include every man of immoral

whole thing a squad Of soldiers with

that, we would have to wait for the
next generation to give US full
crop of men to carry out our busi-
nesses. Segregate them-Yes. But

HERE'S 4 HOT SERMON
THAT HITS THE HyPO'S
Pensacola Preacher Flags
He Hypocrite Reformers.
Believes in Segregated District, But for
Men Only-Aiso Favors Pest House
for UncleaB.

The most sensational sermon deliv-
cred by minister in Pensacola in
many years, was heard at Knox Pres
byterian church, one Of the fashiona-
bic East Hill churches, last Sunday
night, when Rev. |. h. Phillips flayed
those who were instrumental in dri-
wing women from the city two weeks
ago in the cleanup" campaign. He
styled them a bunch Of hypocriteS,
grandstand players and men without
souls and said that he favored the
segregated district and the protection
of those women so unfortunate
through the lust Of man, as to be
forced to live the degrading life.
Continuing he said: Everybody in
Pensacola knows just where | stand
on the question of immortality. |
have no defense to make of the i'm
morality of those women. Their
lives are an insult to God and decen-
cy, but they are not half the insult
that are the men who frequent such
places. | don't defend immortality,
but | do rise to defend the poor
wretches who are in the dire grip Of
mans lust.
Boiled Shirt RefOrmerS.
"At a recent meeting Of some
boiled shirt reformers, there were
some men that spoke very huently on
the need Of using widespread pubhci-
ty in fighting the vice of the city.
These same men that acted so elo-
uuently in the interests Of the pub
licity were the same hypocrites that
tried to run me out Of town last fall
for preaching publicity on the ques-
ton of immortality. That was be-
cause was bucking the line, but now
they are Jumping on the band wagon
and blowing their little horns and
beating their little dishpans.
ut is all because the crowd is 60
ing that way. Some people are al
ways with the crowd. When reform
is unpopular, they are as silent as
pie crust. But when it is in fashion,
they are as noisy as a brass band.
81 would like to see published to-
morrow in the papers Of the city an
authenticated list Of the owners of
the property of this city, used for
immoral purposes, together with the
list of men that have frequented
them during the last twelve months
, in this city. Believe me, when | say
is would read almost like city di-
rectory. But no paper in town
would dare publish it, because they
have the poor old press sewed up in
bag called the SANDER law, and
choke them every time they have
some real news to print.

had been purchased after three trips
TO the city in her big limousine. FOR
when Miss Martha shopped the &C.

The bits Of lingerie that Miss Mar

sheer, beautiful, dainty white with un'

HEALTH HINTS

An important factor in keeping the
family we'll lies not only in the prep.
aration but also in the care Of food.
It Is not enough that food be both
palatable and nutritious when served,
it must also be properly cared for or
it may become a menace instead Of a
benefit, as it should, to the health OF
the family.
Various things effect the wholesome.
ness Of foods; for example: the air.
the dishes in which they are placed
the ice box and other storage places
Among the foods that spoil easily
are milk, cream, uncooked fresh meat
certain fruits, such as berries, peach
es, plums and some table vegetables.
Fresh meats should not he left in
the paper that is about them when
delivered from the butcher shop as
the wrapping paper will absorb the
juices.
Remove the paper and wipe sthe
meat with clean cloth that has been
wrung out in cold water, and then
place it in dish.
Uncooked fish should not be put In
the ice box without being closely COW
cred.
AS odors arise all strongly flavor
ed food should be placed on the TOP
shelves of your ice box.
Fruit should be kept cool and dry
A cool, dry basement is better than
an ice box. Ripe fruits spoil rapidly
and should only be bought in small
quantities.
Vegetables tina t are eaten raw
should always be washed thoroughly
before eating. Lettuce should be care
fully picked over and washed. If wrap
ned in cheeseGoth and placed in the
icebox, it will keep longer than II
put in water.
Butter, of course, should be kept
cool and we'll wrapped or covered, as
it readily absOr6s odors from other
foods. Eggs should be kept dry and
cool. Cooked meats can be kept better
If we'll covered before being put in
the refrigerator.

temples and her cheeks. The major.
Alan iartwell! Aler many years!
She stood immoyable among the
swayjng hollyhocls, bitter thoughts Of
the past crowding into her confused
many months of happiness, almost, in
fast, on the eve Of their wedding; the
majors departure 20 the other side of
the world; the years Of silence and
loneliness.
Suddenly rightcuCs anger surgeel
into her heart. Why should she be
friendly with the man who had spoil
ed her life? She would SEQ him, but
she would tell him what he had done
and let him go his way again.
She followed a narrow gravel path
around to the front Of the house. To
the man waiting behind the vines OF
the pCrch she made an unusually
charming p,cture-her soft lustrous
hair blowing in Just trifle oe diseT'
ray, her face flushed beautifully, tho
blue linen morning dress and the flow
ers.
And then occurred an interesting tab
leau. A small boy dripping mud came
screaming up tie drive holding out an
object that appeared to be the product
OF a coal mine. :,

Carlo, land went into mudhole. An

Miss Martha stopped aghast. The
cold anger that had possessed her sud
denly gave way to new emotion. Her
beautiful doll was spoiled!
"Oh, Carlo, how could you'll" she
cried. you're a naughty, naughty
little boy, but"-more llindly-"I sup
pose it couldn't be helped"
II was just walking along and"
"All right. Go back and tell Minnie
to wash you off. Perhaps the dolly
isn't hurt after all"
"Td come down to help-but It seems
something's happened, can't move
said voice from the porch.
Miss Martha flew up the steps,
muddy Carlo at her heels.
"oh, I forgot" blubbered the little
boy. II put my blackjack chewing
gum on tn chair while l ate my cake
and forgot to get 1t again. There's
a whole niclile's WORTH"
The major in immaculate white fan
nels tossed Carlo a quarter. Here,
you can buy some more, little boy;
