BOYS MAKE BEST AIR PILOTS
Intrepid Qualities That Make
Ideal A%viators.

war aviation. with its exceptional
dangers and it's demands for supreme
courage, is peculiarly Il service for
volunteers. But it has beer demon
strated, says st. Nicholas Magazine,
that the younger the war pilot the
more likely is he to possess those
daShing and intrepid qualities that
make the ideal air fighter. Conse-
quently, the government is opening
wide the door of the aviation service
for volunteers under twenty-one, the
con%Scription age. The army is already
giving officers commissions to young
men nineteen years of age, while the
navy has reduced it's limit to eighteen
years. Only commissioned officers are
permitted to operate American military
airplanes, so all our flyers will get
commissions.
Boys considerably younger than
eighteen can be thinking now Of be-
coming wal pilots, with reasonable
expectations of seeing actual service.
AS long as the war goes on, the air
craft program will keep growing, since
only the declaration of peace will jus
tify q l%eSsening of our effort.
First. let us see the qualifications
of those suited to war aviation. The
athletic type of boy is preferred. To
have been n member OF n team il
usually Il good indication of pluck and
persistence. a sound physique, and
good vision n hearing, are absolute
~ necessary. The ideal airman has II
cool head; he is able to act quickly in
emergencies. 1t is important. too, that
the war pilot be an accurate observer
and equally important that he possess
the ability to form correct judgments.

The Good Old Yankee Name.

Give them the good old Yankee name
Our soldiers always bore,
Send them out on the firing line
AS they have gone before
with a Hip! Hurrah! and a ringing cheer
For the bright flag flying free,
With a bugle song to cheer them on
In the way ii used to be.
Give them the good old Yankee name
That never has known defeat,
With the pulsing throb of fife and drum
To time the marching feet.
Let the bullets whistle and sing
When the boys get into the game,
they'll have good luck-,with ank pluck
And the good old AMI name.
Give them the good old Yankee name
When the guns begin to roar,
Why ould we follow a fashion now?

To stand on our own two feet?

And the Yankee name so sweet.
