And it has been reported to US that

Thousands of members of organ

Thousands and thousands have of

the future.

KIDNAPPED, LOST 80 YEARS
Connecticut Woman Traces Family,
Finding Brother in United
States Army.

Trenton, N. J.vThirty-two years
after she was kidnapped while playing
near her home at Mount Kisco, N. Y.
Mrs. Ida Dinges Haywood of Long Hill,
Conn. learned of her identity and COM
municated with her brother Lieut..
George Dinges, U. S. A, stationed at
Tullytown, Pa, near Trenton. She is
the wife of A. A. Haywood.
Ida May Dinges was two years old
when stolen. She was subsequently
adopted by a family named Hebberd.
1t was not until the death of her foster
parents that she learned who she was.
She traced many Dinges families in
various parts of the country and final
ly found her brother through the war
department.
Lieutenant Dinges said he plans to
have the bodies of the foster parents
exhumed, in order to examine legal
documents which were buried with
them, and which he thinks may dis
close circumstances relating to the
kidnapping.

CAMERA is REAL
EYE OF ARMY

over the narrow section of ground
whose secret must be won, the pilot
steers, for the most part an even
course. Shells burst closely round
them, on this side and that, beneath
and above. At moments the pilot is
forced to swerve. but he must quickly
get level and resume his ordered
course.
Meanwhile the observer studies in
tently the pitted earth below, which
would appear to the uninitiated as in
definite as a huge plowed field. But
his practiced eye picks out its essen
tial features, and, regardless of the
shells, he presses his lever at carefully
timed intervals. At last the deed is
done-just as shell bursts close under
their tail and losses them upward as
wave might lift cork. Fortunately
the damage is slight.
"Finished?" asks the pilot through
his telephone.
"Finished," says the observer.
And they swing for home with an
inevitable sense of relief.
1t is all in the days work-a very
ordinary job. But even the airman':
most ordinary job is out of the com
mon as a risky experience. AS for the
knowledge obtained. it may prove OF
vital Importance. The camera is NOR,
than an eye; it is weapon. And the

poseful and steady as if it held a rifle

Finishing Touches Are Given in
an Airdrome in Quiet Coun-
try Spot.
FIRST SOLO FLIGHTS THRILL
FledgIing Flyers Go Up Alone Only
After Course With Instructor
First Flight Is Closely
Watched.

An American Airdrome in England.
This is one of the numerous avia-
ton camps in England where Ameri-
cans are receiving their finishing
touches as flyers. When they leave
here for the battle front in France
they know all that can be taught
about flying. Only the school of ex-
perience can supply the postgraduate
course that makes Guynemers and
Lufberys.
The airdrome is set in one of those
beautiful spots that one calls to mind
from classic pictures of English land
scapes. It is early in June and the
great level field that stretches away in
front of the hangers is like a rich
green carpet. Beyond there is a wood
land, and in the distance is a range
of low hills whose smooth contour
recalls to Western Americans the foot
hills of California.

Passes All First Tests.
For weeks the British instructor has
been with him constantly and he has
passed successfully the major tests.
He can fly straight, the instructor sit
ting beside him has made sure, and
he can work the controls without fear
or NERVES" He knows how to stall,
to glide and to climb, and he has
learned a good deal, too, about the
important art of landing.
On one memorable occasion the in
structor has shouted to him above the
roaring of the engine: "Shall we
loop?" and they did. But hitherto, of
course, the instructor has been the
real pilot, explaining maneuvers, en-
couraging the young man to secure an
accurate touch, and to become, as he
must if he is to be successful, so per-
feet master of the machine that he
can make it fly of itself.
The fact that it is his first flight
is known at the airdrome and many
eyes are watching to see him take
off"
