GEORGIA CHEF IS
 TEACHING FRENCH HOW TO MAKE PIES

With the American Army, in France, Oct. -(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-FrenCh cooks in the employ of the American Red Cross are learning from Thomas Kane, a Georgia culinary artist, how to make American pies, cakes and cookies for the American troops. His skill in the making of pastry has made famous the American cooking wherever he has practiced his art along the network of railways over wISheh the American troops are trans -tp1rted from the seapOrts to the front. ! This is a reversal of the idea that the Americans ought to take lessons in | cooking from the French.
 Pastry of any kind. good or bad, is a luxury in the army, ginger cookies Hike mother used to make" apple pies and cakes that melted in the mouth" are spoken of with reverence among the doughboys. It is Kane s task to teach the French cooks how to supply these luxuries.
 To each of the American Red Cross canteens, where the American sol diers resort for food, rest and enter tainment. Kane goes for one month to spread astronomical joy with lav- iEsh hand. He does not leave until the French civilian cook employed at the Red Cross has learned the culinary road to the American soldiers heart Everywhere he goes he leaves a wake of tickled palates.
 At one canteen the workers almost wept when his time came to move on to the next. "I don't know what we will do when he leaves" sighed one enthusiastic worker. He has just ' spoiled the appetites of our boys and $ now I am afraid we won't be able tc Aplease them with plain ordinary cook ling"
 Kane was once chef on trans Atlantic steamer. He had settled in Antwerp to live but was driven ou .tby the Germans and came to Franc; and volunteered his services with the Red Cross to "help de wah."

AVIATION CORPS HAS ISSUED GALL
 FOR VOLUNTEERS
%en Between Is and 56 Are Needed At Once-Apply
 At Boston.

Unlimited opportunities are now open to Americans who wish to volun- teer for service in the aviation sec ton of the army, and patriotic citi- Eens areu rged to take this last chance of entering the army via the volun- teer route.
 In order that the great number or men needed in the Air Service for i'm mediate duty overseas and in this country may be obtained within the next few days, the Army Air Service has opened to all men between the ages of IS and 56, the only stipula- ton being that those between the ages of 21 and 31 be Tinted ser vice" stenographers.
 Men are needed in every depart ment Some will be given immediate overseas duty and others will be sent to the immense AiG Service Training Schools in this country where they ! will receive special training in what ! ever their past experience has fitted them. There is the greatest oppor- ] tunity for immediate advancement in the Air Service, four-ffths of the men in an Air Service Squadron being non n-commissioned officers. This is because of the fact that practically all men in a squadron are on duty which requires great skill and ol l great responsibility. Some of these non-commissioned officers receive a' high as $12O per month, exclusive ot all living expenses. In the event tha men have dependents the government will make monthly allotment tc them.
 All men in the New England dis trict must appear in person before the Air Service Trade Test Board 755 Boylston street, Boston, whert they will be examined and if accept ed will be designated for immediate duty with flying force or at an Ali Service Training School

Boys and Girls Club Exhibits.

Over seven thousand jars of canned
goods, one hundred pigs and three hun
dred vegetable exhibits have been on
tables and shelves at our fairs In the
state this year. Prize money offered
totals close to two Thousand dollars: In
addition to the above amounts many of
the small town fairs have offered money
to encourage the youthful farmers and
Gamers.
Few people actually realize just what
this means. In two years the exhibits
of these young people have sprung from
nothing up to over one thousand entries.
Not only does 1t mean . great deal to
club members but to the fairs. In not
few instances the biggest exhibit to be
found In the exhibit hall was that OF
club members. Many fair officials have
spoken words Of commendation to the
effect that It was the best exhibit on the
grounds.
The largest club exhibit was set up 81
Machiss. Over 1000 jars of canned
goods and large number OF vegetables
were exhibited. At Oxford County fair,
South Paris, the club members exhibit
was awarded first premium.
The inspiring thought this year 10 that
behind each small exhibit of canned
goods are at least forty more jars at
home and the whole garden backs the
few vegetables, and only small per.
ceptage of club members have exhibited
Prospects for another year tend to in.
dictate that fairs will offer moro prize
money to encourage the young agricul-
turist to exhibit.
