Friday by leading flight of eight Italian aero
planes over the Austrian capital: His squadron
flew 62Qs miles in less than seven hours-50O
miles being over enem yterritory-crossed the Alps
twice, dropped thousands of leaflets on Vienna
and returned with the loss of only one machine
that developed engine trouble. We have come to
regard airmanship as essentially the privilege of
youth. Yet Major DAnnunzio is we'll past fifty
He has repeatedly flown fighting planes over Cat
taro and Pola, and has bombed Austrian troops
from low attitudes during Italian offensives
Despite several wounds-one of which cost him
the sight of an eye-his ardor is undiminshed
and his nerve mistaken. But the true SAVIOUR of
his latest exploit lies in his message to the as
tonished Viennese:-"We could drop tons of
bombs, but* we Italians do not make war
on women, children, and old men, That, the
Germans may think, is not war; but even they
cannot deny that it is nagnanimous and mag

kind. AS for those Viennese who feel unhappy
in "Prussian uniform they may well have ex-
claimed in their own untranslatable idiom, "Fes-

WITH THE EDITORS
THE SALVAGE PLAN,

The work of conserving the waste materials in
American homes is now being nationally organized
by the Red Cross. Striking success had already
been achieved by local organizations. The sal
wage plan originated with Mrs. Otheman Stevens,
in Los Angeles, who made it source of steady
income for that Red Cross chapter From Los
Angeles, the movement first extended to Kansas
City, where the work=was organized by Mrs. John
Allan Dougherty and quickly produced 81, 200 a
month for war work. Many other communities
successfully tried the plan. Largely through Mrs.
Doughertys urgings at Washington, the Govern
ment has now made the movement official and ma
tional. 1t will be managed in the Army, by the
Army, for the Army. If the plan succeeds to
expectations, the salvage will be one billion dol
lars year. The American people have been in
credibly Wasteful. But the saving of this waste
can be accomplished without parsimony and with
surprisingly little effort. 49,.
Here are some of the things that housewives
and householders can lay aside for the waste
collector: ~.s.. H..
/ Tin and lead foil, folded fiat, collapsible paste
and paint tubes; lead, brass, copper and alum
mum waste; old gold, silver, and broken bits of
jewelry; typewriter. ribbon boxes and ribbon
spools; old motor licenses; motor car and bicycle
tires; rubber of all kinds; books, magazines, and
newspapers, which must be folded once and tied
securely both ways; Burlap sacks, clean cotton
and wool rags, tailor clippings and remnants;
glass fruit jars, cold cream jars, bottles of all
kinds rinsed clean; tin cans with fitted lids and
tin boxes (no tin cans that are opened with an
opener); old batteries; hair switches and hair
combings; buttons; old window shades old knives
and forks and spoons; clothing, furs furniture,
bric-a-brac; pictures, etc.; paste-board boxes in
good condition, and innumerable other articles.-|
