whacks than I was looking for later
on.
Needless to say, my parents were
very much opposed to my rfsking my
life at what was undoubtedly at That
time one Of the most hazardous pas
times" young fellow could select, and
every time had a smashup or some
other mishap was ordered never to go
near an aviation field again.
So 1 went out to California. There
another fellow and I built our own
machine, which we flew In various
parts of the state.
In the early part Of 1916, when trou-
BILE was brewing in Mexico, l Joined the
American flying corps. I was sent to
San Diego, where the army flying
school is located, andspent about eight
months there, but as was anxious to
get into active service and there didr'
seem much chance of America e. :
getting into the war, resigned and,
crossing over to Canada, Joined the
Royal Flying corps at Victoria, B. G.
was sent to Camp Borden, Toronto,
first to receive instruction and later to
instruct. While a cadet / made the
first loop ever made by cadet in Can
ada, and after / had performed the
stunt 1 half expected to be kicked out
of the service for it. Apparently, how
ever. they considered the source and
let it go at that. Later on l had the
satisfaction of introducing the loop
as part of the regular course of in
struction for cadets in the r. f. O.,
and want to say right here that Camp
Borden has turned out some OF the
best ffiers that have ever gone to
France.
In May, 1917, I and seventeen other
Canadian fliers left for England on the
Meganic, where we were to qualify
for service in France.
Our squadron consisted of nine
Americans, G. G. Robinson, Fl. A. Mil
Ter, f. S. McClurg, A. A. Allen, e. B.
Garnet, II. K. Boysen, III. A. Smeeton
and A. A. Taylor, and myself, and nine
Britishers, Paul Il. Raney, j. r. Park,
C. Nelmes, G. R. Moore, T. L. Atkin-
son, f. C. Conry, A. Muir, E. A. L. F.
Smith and A. G. Jones.
Within a few weeks after our ar
rival in England all of us had won our
''wings"-the insignia worn on the
left breast by every pilot on the west
ern front.
We were all sent to a place In
France known as the Pool Pilots Mess.
Here men gather from all the training
suuadrons in Canada and England and
await assignments to the particular
squadron of which they are to become
members.
The Pool Pilots Mess is situated q
few miles back of the lines. When
ever a pilot is shtt down or killed the
Pool Pilots Mess Is notified to send an
other to take his place.
There are so many casualties every
day in the r. +. G. at one point OF
| the front or another that the demand
for new pilots is quite active, but when
a fellow is itching to get into the tight

Why They Are Lonely.

The people who are lonely In this
world are those who are always look
ing for something to come to them;
they hope for pleasant adventures;
they exact much from their friends
and from TIER family-and they ara
never satisfied. But the happy men
and women are those who never think
to demand for themselves-who give
and give and give again, and find joy
whenever they find opportunity to give

Careless Use OF
Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair look
ing it's best. Most soaps and prepar-
ed shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary muIsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance OF rich. creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle Of dust, dirt, dandruff,
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get muIsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap and
q few ounces will supply every MEM
Der Of the family for nonths.---AdV.

BOLSHEVIKI HID

CONTINUED from page one.)


Russian Red Guard in Finland must
be commenced Immediately. Furth-
ermore, the Russian agents were
directed to send to Finland a trusty
agent to deal with Arvo Haapala-
inen, chief of the Finnish White
Guard, who was disposed to be loyal
to his country. This, Edgar Sisson,
who procured the documents, ex-
plains in a note, accounts for the
sudden withdrawal of the Red Guard
last March, leaving Finland to her
fate. Some of the Russians resisted
disarmament but they were beaten.
A series of orders from the in
telligence service to the Trotzky
calls for the removal of all agitators
from the Ukraine Westland, Litva,
and Courland, and for the restora-
ton of rights and property to Ger
man landlords who had been declar-
ed outlawed in Estland.
Other communications throw
further light on assassination COM
pacts between the Bolsheviki and
anarchists which have figured in
carrier chapters of the series. "A list
Of anarchists hired as agents for
the destruction OF counter revolu-
tionists, includes several charac-
tiers Of international notoriety."

Charles Ray Is Star
In Play of Politics

The new Paramount picture, His
Own Home Town" starring Charles
Ray. is said to be one Of exceptional
interest and which affords Mr.. Ray
one of the best roles he has enacted
in many months.
The story deals with the corrupt
operations of a political ring in a
small town and with the efforts Of
Jimmy Duncan to rid the city of
this degrading incubus. In the de-
velopment of the story there are
many scenes of tremendous interest
and it goes without saying that the
dramatic action, in which Mr.. Ray
figures most conspicuously, is tense
and nerve tracking. Both the star
and his support have been afforded
ample opportunities by Larry Evans,
the scenarioist, for the display of
their respective talents.
The picture. which will have it's
first presentation in this city, at the
Garrick today and Saturday, was
produced under the supervision of
Thomas H. Ince. which in itself is
a sufficient guarantee that the US
ua1 high standard established by
Paramount. is amply maintained.
