Protesting feebly and trying TO rise,
he saw the working yard filed with
armed men and the returning throng
of laborers; saw Colonel Baldwin and
Williams talking excitedly TO the sher-

neer and beckoned eagerly with his
one available hand.
Hold still, until can find out how
dead you arel" gritted the rough-and-
ready surgeon who was plying the
clothes-ripping knife. But when VIII

Smith found voice, shrill and strident

scarcely recognized it.

Smith seemed to be going Off again,
but he suddenly opened his eyes and
pointed frantically with finger of the
one serviceable hand Catch him

Clinging to consciousness with a
grip that not even the blood loss

drop their weapons and hurl them
selves upon another man who was try

stagings with a box of dynamite on
his shoulder. Then he felt the foolish
smile coming again when he looked up
at Starbuck.

BOYS MAKE BEST AIR PILOTS
More Likely to Possess Dsshing and
intrepid Qualities That Make
Ideal AViators.

War aviation, with its exceptional
dangers and its demands for supreme
courage. is peculiarly "a service for
volunteers. But it has been 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
CONSUMPTION age. The army is already
giving officers commissions to young
men nineteen years of age. while the
navy has reduced its limit TO eighteen
years. Only commissioned officers are
permitted TO operate American military
airplanes, so all our fliers will get
commissions.
Boys considerably younger than
eighteen can be thinking now Of be-
coming war pilots. with reasonable
expectations of seeing actual service.
AS long as the war goes on. the air
craft program viii keep growing. since
only the declaration of peace will jus
tify lessenlng 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 a member of a team Is
usually good indication of pluck and
persistence. A sound physique, and
good vision and hearing, are absolute
ly necessary. The ideal alrman has
cool head; he is able TO act quickly In
emergencies. II is important. too, that
the war pilot be an accurate observer
and equally important that he possess
the ability to form correct judgments.

Concrete Is Preferable.

Steel is going up, and concrete. rs n

way bridges, for example. which used
always to be of steel. are now often OF
concrete. A beautiful concrete rail-
way bridge is being built across the
