AIRMEN TELL OF FIGHTING.
No Better AviatOrs in the World than
Allied F1ierS.

A committee on Public Information
representative in London says:
There are no better sportsmen in
the world than the allied airmen, ano
American aviators now fighting in
Europe always play fair game, as
they learn it from the allies. F. P.
Magoun, a former Harvard student,
now member of the Royal air force,
recently wounded, tells how the lives
of German observers escaping from
balloons have been spared.
eve caught three Hun balloons
above the allied grounds in a mist,
prevented their gunners seeing us,
said he. cit was a cinch. You should
have seen them hustle out their para
ehutes and abandon the balloons. AS
they came falling down through the
air we circled about closely but, OF
course, didn't open fire, as that's
against the rules of the game. AS
soon as they touched ground tney
took cover like rabbits
Magoun is the only American in
his squadron, having Joined in Feb
ruary of last year. He has bagged
five German planes. While carrying
bombs for low attack in the recent
offensiveNhe received bullet through
his left arm, but managed to return
to his own lines. Magoun tells of a
companion in his squadron who had
one of the luckiest escapes during
the war. He was put out of action
At 1000 feet in the air when a bullet
perforated his gasoline tank. He was
rendered unconscious by the fumes
and his machine took nose dive to
earth, but he escaped without a
scratch.
A section of the Royal air force op-
Grating in the Ypres salient has lost
its only American member, who had
been with the squadron only 10 days
when he went on a bombing raid at
low elevation. He was hit by a ma
chine gun bullet and his plane fell
in flames. He was taken prisoner.
The efforts of newspapers to pro-
mote good feeling between the peo-
pie of England and the thousands OF
Americans received official backing
when Sir Randolph Baker, member
of Parliament, offered to take charge
of the American troops welfare de-
partment of the British Government.
His plans contemplate a continuous
programme of healthful recreation in
every American rest camp and train

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is 10 dissolve it. then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces OF plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store this is all
you will need. apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to mOisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the fin
ger tips.
BY morning, most If not all, Of your
dandrufr will be gone. and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace Of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
OF the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
