AVIATION NEWS
Unusual Aiiplane Events in Europe
and America


The "Flying Circus" as the most
notable American group of aviators
now in Europe has been nicknamed,
has to its credit thilty-four victories,
with but slight losses, during the past
ten days-the total number of VIC
tories will. which this group has been
officially credited being one hundred
and thirtvseven. Seventeen addl-
tional ric.cries are awaiting con-
firmation, and it is said that the ac-
tual number of German planes de-
stroyed by this group of fighters IS
practically twice the number ofilclally
confirmed, although not counted be-
cause of the exacting requirements of
the French and American authorities
with reference to the matter Of proof.
A recent London report cites two
British aviators with capturing SIX
tv-five Germans and delivering them
to the British lines without leaving
their ailplane. 1t appears that these
aviators, upon being attacked from q
German trench, opened fire with their
machine guns and killed q number OF
the attackers, and that thereupon the
Germans stopped firing and surren-
dered a,-l were herded across no
mans land to the British lines by the
aviators, who circled around them
within :.few feet from the ground.
The iilao recorded case of a sub
marine fighting back when attacked
by seaplane, instead of submerglng
as has been universal practice here
tofore, resulted in the destruction OF
the under5ea craft. It is said that
when the seaplane was sighted, the
submarine began firing at it, and that
the plane, responding with a machine
gun, wounded two Ct the crew Of the
submarine and compelled the others
to go inside the vessel. AS the
U-boat submerged Il number OF
bombs were dropped near her, and it
is reported that she was kaily darn
aged and probably destroyed. .-
The ''Kids in Khaki" as the boy
scouts arc called, are helping Uncle
Sam, out il, the State of Washing
ton, by ascertaining and reporting
the location of black walnut trees,
which, are. urgently needed for air
plane propellers because the wood
does not warp nor splinter when
struck by shrapnel or bullets. 1t is
reported that these patriotic young
fellows, III response to Government
reque 3ts, have helped to secure near
ly 1857 carloads of black walnut.
This is "a service of which the Boy
Scouts o. America may well be
proud.
Perhaps the most wonderful air
plane spectacle that has ever been
witnessed outside of the war zone
occurred at the Mineola aviation
field OH Long Island, New York,
on September 81, at which time sew
enty-seven planes Unanswered over
the field simultaneously in four
souadrone. AS Major General VIII
liam A. Kenty. chief of the American
Aviation Service, in blue De Havi-
land plane driven by Colonel Rhine
hart, made an inspection trip around
these big squadrons in true military
fashion, the sioht was enough to
make. one feel that the airplanc has
truly become most important fac
tor in modern warfare. .n

HOW TO MAKE A FACE MASK
A Necessary Precaution for Those

A Necessary Precaution for Those
Caring for Influenza Patients :
Burlington, Oct. 17--Many people
have asked the State Board of Health
how to make a face mask. Here are
the directions:-
The Board of Health recommends
fine mesh cheese cloth, usually called
butter, cloth. Cut the material into
strips six by eight inches. If butter
cloth is used three ethicknesses will be
sufficient, but. with coarser material
from five to ten thicknesses should
be used, according to the fneness of
the mesh. The mask should be hem
med on the edges and made with
four plaits lengthwise of the material
Tape should be fastened on each of
the four corners sufficiently long to
tie behind the head. When, the mask
is extended full width by fanlike ex-
tension of the. plaits it will cover
the nose and mouth, and come below
the chin. The upper tape extends
over the ears and ties in the back of
the head so that the ears will hold
the mask in place. The lower tape
to be tied around the neck.
Masks are very inexpensive, ma
terial costing little more than five
cents for one mask. The Board rec
ommends that attendants provide
themselves with a number of these
and that a person in constant attend
ance on patient, wear one mask
not longer than two hours. The used
mask may. then be boiled for at least
five minutes before being used again
If this is done it will not be neces.
sary to use antiseptics on the mask
Care should be taken that the part
over the face is not handled in re.
moving, but if contact with the hands
does occur, the hands should be thor.
oughly washed with soap and hot
water.

FRENCH COOKS CAN
MAKE AMERICAN PIES
But Georgia Chef Had to Show
.. Them the Trick

With the American Army in
France, Sept. 26--(Corespondence
of the Associated Press)-French
cooks in the employ of the American
Red Cross are learning from Thomas
Kane, Il 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
which the American troops are trans
ported from the seaports to the front.
This is 4 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
like mother used make" apple pies
and cakes that melted in the mouth"
are, spoken of with reverence among
the doughhoys. 1t is Kane's task to
teach The French cooks how to supply
these Injuries. - ...-
To ,eacn 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
lavish hand. He does not leave until
the Frehon civilian cook. employed at
the Red Cross has learned the cult
nary road to the American soldiers
heart. Everywhere he goes he
leaves. q wake. of ticllled palates. Dr.
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 the boys
and now l am afraid we won't be
able to please them with plain ordi-
nary cooking"
Kane was once chef on a trans
Atlantic steamer. He had settled in
Antwerp to live but was driven out
by the Germans and came to France
and volunteered his services with the
Red Cross TO "help de wah," &

PRESS COMMENT
The Ever Present Risk

The man who dafted from the curb
toward President Wilson as he was
leading the Liberty parade in New
York city Saturday afternoon and
gave the secret. service men a nervous
moment turned out to be no more
dangerous person than an over
enthusiastic printer who was anxious
to shake the. hand OF the chief exc
cutive. The loaded revolver that was
found in the street nearby was drop
ped from the pocket of one of the
detectives. The whole incident prov
ed trivial yet it serves to emphasize
the risks the President continually
faces.-Brattlebor Reformer.

WOMAN SHERIFF IN TEXAS
She Is a Fearless Person, and Usually
Brings in Her Man

Mrs. John H. Bannister is the new
sheriff of Coleman county, Texas
All who know her say that when she
buckles or her six-shooter and goe:
out to make an arrest the offender
had better make peaceful surrender il
he knows what is good for him. II
is not meant by this that Mrs. Ban
mister is a woman of the rough mar
type-on the contrary, she is unas.
Stunning, quiet and prepossessing II
looks Tho sum and substance of il
is that she belongs to q stock OF
westerners that do not know whal
fear is when it comes to fulfilling
what she believes to be her officia
duty.
Mrs. Rannfster's husband, Captain
Bannister, who died recently, was
sheriff Of Coleman county for many
years. HIS wife assisted him in his
work in many, ways and is said to be
thoroughly familiar with the details
of the office. 1t was but natural
that she should be elevated to the va
cant position, her friends say.
1t was not so very many years age
that Coleman county was situated
close to the fringe Of the frontier OF
Texas. III those days the sheriff
had to deal with many tough char
acters. In this respect, however
there has beenaa wonderful improve
ment in the last decade Or so, and i;
is not expected that Mrs. Bannistel
will be called upon to lead posses af-
ter dangerous criminals, except. per
haps, in rare instances, such as may
happen in any comnnunity.-Kansas
