Taking in the Air.

A trench newspaper published by
one of the British divisions in Pales-
tine gives the following account of an
unusual feat by a British airplane in
the fighting zone:
"One of our aviators was forced by
engine trouble to land ten miles inside
the Turkish line. His engine was mis-
firing, but produced sufficient power
for 'tay' ing and short hops, but not
for flights. Presumably the valves of
two or three cylinders had broken or
stuck.
"But the pilot did not give up hope,
and succeeded in taking the whole
way to the British lines over the level
sand. On the way he crossed a Turk
ish encampment, and his under-car-
riage brought away a clothes line and
q number of Turkish shirts. The pilot
was attacked by several detachments
armed with rifles and machine guns,
but they invariably fled when he
charged on them with his gun. Two or
three German airplanes dived and
fired bursts at him. but luckily hit no
vital part"

HONOR FLAGS IN LOAN DRIVE
To Be Awarded Communities and In
dustriai Concerns "Over
the Top"

Honor emblems are to be awarded
in the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
to communities and industrial con.
eerns that go lover the top" as u whole
in subscriptions to the Fourth Liberty
Loan. The plan to be used Is that of
distributing to communities that ex-
coed their quotas Fourth Liberty Loan
Honor Flags. and to industrial con.
Germs and other organizations whose
employees or members subscribe to the
extent OF 70 per cent OF their number.
The community honor flag to be
used in the Fourth Liberty Loan is
similar to the one used in the Third
Loan. except that IL will have four
bars instead OF three. The Liberty
Loan Executive Committee OF the
Eighth Federal Reserve District -7ill
have charge Of the competition in this
district. They will give special dis.
tinction to communities for large over
subscription and will add stars to the
flags OF such. u
The Industrial honor pennant Is q
new award to be mace. and 1t Is ex-
pected that plants and organizations
OF all kinds viii enter into The spirit
that the coming OF the pennant will
suggest. The number OF individual
subscriptions is expected to increase
largely ON account Of the pennants.

BUYING WAR SECURITIES
St. Louis Labor Editor Says Union
Labor Is Trying to surpass
Previous Record.

From all quarters of the country or
gained labor gives unqualified en-
dorsement of the Fourth Liberty Bonds
and the other financial support neces-
sary to make the war a complete sue
cess. p. J. Morrin. editor and man
ager of the Trades Council Union
News, which is the official spokesman
for organized labor in st. Louis, writes
that the government has the whole
hearted support of st. Louis organized
labor
The trades unionists of st. Louis
stand solidly behind the government
and its program to prosecute the war
to a victorious finish" Morrin writes.
This support Is born from the knowl-
edge which inspires the most intense
tutions. What is more, the loyalty of
our workers Is not satisfied to seek
expression merely in the waving of
flags and similar outward signs of de-
votion.
1.-The workers of st. Louis are doing
their utmost to help the government
in its gigantic task of financing the
war. They are practicing thrift as
they never did beforehand practically
every available dollar is being placed
at Uncle Sans disposal in the pur-
chase of Thrift Stamps. War Savings
Certificates and Liberty Bonds"
Morrin says the st. Louis unions are
tabulating purchases made by the va
rious organizations and individual
members. but totals are not now avail
able. He calls attention to the fact
that union men have confidence in
Liberty Bonds and other government
securities from a patriotic as well az
a financial standpoint

WAR ORDER RIDERS.
Dispatch Bearers Must Be Aero
bats on Wheels.
Real Excitement Is to Be Found on the
Western Front Mid the Gas
and Shells.

IF you want excitement, try dispatch
riding on the western front, says Lon
don Answers. II is wonderful how
soon one learns to fall off the "old
grid" when the scream of shell Is
heard coming In your direction, and
what miracles of contortiOn are per-
formed in the effort to find protection
In q six-inch ditch full Of water. The
man who has lodged shells and raced
gas for six months up and down the
lines is a past master in the art Of TAX
ing cover.
Even taking cover has its disadvan-
tages, as the following story shows. A
dispatch rider on leave was walking
along a London street when q motor
tire went off just ahead Of him. By
natural instinct he sprang down the
open trap door of a bakery close by
and landed in q tub Of yeast which
was cooling in the bake-house. He
finally got free Of the mixture just In
time to return to France.
Among civilians at home I ind q
widespread belief that sOut there"
rules Of the road are unknown. This
is not so. Since our enemies In the
early days of the war started me-
thodical and sustained offensive to
wipe the poor dispatch rider of the
face Of the earth the rules Of the game
have varied, but they must still be
closely observed II the dispatch rider
is to safely stable his bike and sit
down to his rum ration at the end of
a perfect day.
It is rather unpleasant to be jerked
soff your "grid" on black night into q
shell hole full Of water. or to play hide
and seek with Teuton airman out for
your scalp.
But the acrobats on wheels take
such things calmly. and In time a sort
of sixth sense enables you to smell
shell holes on the darkest winter
night, and Jerry has lately been too
busy running away from our airmen
to worry US much with low machine
gun fire from above.
The greatest trouble the dispatch
rider has to face Is gas. Amid the
many stinks Of the battle field one
more or less Is barely noticeable, and
have myself been blissfully ignorant
Of any gas in the vicinity until arriv'
ing at the end OF my Journey I found
every one with gas masks on. BY that
time there was enough Of 1t aboard to
necessitate a month In hospital. won

FOR ESTATE FUNDS
PROMINENT BANKER POINTS OUT
THE DEsiRAsILITY OF HOLD
ING BEST SECURITIES.
SPECIAL APPEAL TO WOMEN
Holdings Backed by Government Are
More Attractive Than Ever
Before.

Edward B. Pryor, president Of the
State National Bank Of st. Louis and
a specialist in security values, says
he is advising but one thing to per-
sons seeking his advice relative to
investment. 1. g., to purchase Liberty
Bonds.
mo investment in the world" said
Pryor. lis safer, and viewed from the
angle Of average investment returns
in the past, the yield is large. For
merly, when Government bonds were
paying only from IN to 31h per cent
net, 1t was rather discouraging to
recommend their purchase to in
vestors. Now, however, the case is
very different. When you own a Gov
eminent backed security paying Az
per cent, you've got something.
Particularly good for women in.
vestors are the Liberty Bonds. They
constitute an estate more easily han
died than any other class Of property.
With the minimum of instruction any
WOMAN can be schooled in how to
manage and handle her bonds so that
she cannot be deprived of them, re-
gardless Of her business equipment.
Practically No Tax.
G"Further the tax feature is SO small
a. to be almost negligible. Up to
$4,000 there is no tax whatever. From
that figure up the bonds are free from
the normal tax, and subject only to
the surtax, which, in blocks from $780,.
900 to $4,000. is hardly worth men
tioning. Trainers of the laws creating
these issues had no idea of making
them productive to the Government in
general tax levies. They are to supply
war funds. and every effort was made
to make them attractive to buyers.
III anyone comes in to me to in
quire relative to investing money. my
unchanging formula is to buy Liberty
Bonds. In doing this. It is not possible
to make a mistake or incur loss.
Other investments are doubtless good.
but who can predict what conditions
will be after the war? Women and
others whose living depends on their
incomes cannot exert too great eau
ton in these unprecedented times. To
my way OF thinking zenith Of caution
Il to buy American Government bonds.
ut is needless to say anything about
the values back OF Liberty Bonds and
their desirablity as collateral. No
business concern or individual car
place its or his surplus in . more nex'
ible and liquid asset. The solid com
fort and satisfaction Of such an IN
vestment is. In my mind. the greatest
incentive next to patriotism In acQuir'
ing Liberty Bonds"

and life is the stake for which they are

max of that agelong struggle.
Your part On the team requires q

ness Of self as complete and unflagging
as you expect froIl the ncn ia uni-
form. No one can do his duty ON any
team who measures his duty by any
other standard than his entire abili-
ties. II cannot be measured by com
PARSONS with the performances Of
others.
Do not think that the front. only. is
the war; the front Is q part of the
team. like to think that It is part
OF sufficient importance to engage
your enthusiastic interest and support.
The anxiety with which you wait for
good news from the front Is OF the

waits for good news from the back.
