each stage in the development of COM

was explained, there are three dis:
tinct branches of this aviation for war
fare: Chase and combat work in which
most of the fighting occurs, lombard
ment of enemy forces, camp and
towns, and scouting or reconnaissance
work for purposes Of observation OF
enemy activities. 1t is for combat and
bombardment that the training is done
here, and of those going forward
monthly about four-fifths are combat
ants and one-fifth bombardment pilots
"These are the 'grasshoppers,' said
the captain as we came to field No. 1
; where the initial ground work und
theory of fight begins. The grasshop
pers were diminutive machines with
just enough horsepower to jump over
the ground, and occasionally rise ten
feet. The men call them taxis and
roulers. They were skipping about
singly and in squads. Two were hav.
ing a race across the plains. and one

ground. This was the circus part oil

the supreme test on the fighting front

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
Injurious. as 1t dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this Is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats the most expen-
sive soaps or any thing else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about a teaspoonful- is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. creamy iather.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Fighting Edge

For months the American troops in France
prayed for chance to "go to it" on their hook.
They wanted tough job that would force them to
go the limit. General Pershing shared their feel
ing. He had unbounded confidence in his men,
whether on the defensive or offensive, whether
opposed by German shock troops or Landstrum
regiments.
st. Mihiel was to their liking. They had been
in that neighborhood since they came to France.
Il they pinched off that salient, they would over
look German territory. Here's how Charles IL.

hts, State Food Administrator Henry
A. Page to day announced a new
ruling to govern the retail sale of
sugar in North Carolina.
Under the new ruling a definite
