Height Effects In Airplaln,no.

Some effects Of airplane flights at
very high attitudes nre described in a
recent English report. 'Height eff.

and become marked in most cases from
1900 feet up. The principal Difficult.

Strange to say, no airplane has yet

potato Week" BOOSTS
CONSUMPTION OF TUBER

Eat potatoes and serve your coun-
try.
Bake them, boil them, cream them,
hash-brown them, roast them with
meat, eat them cold in salad.
Remember that every potato eaten
by an American over here will mean
that more wheat will be sent and
eaten by an American over there.
During Potato Week" the move
ment Of potatoes was the heaviest
since the first Of the year, according
to report submitted to the Colorado
Food Administration by the u. 8. Blu
reau Of Markets, over $50 cars of po-
tatoes were rolled to market during
the week Of April 81 to 27-'Potato
Week." There are now in Colorado
less than $50 cars of marketable po-
tatoes in the state.
But these $50 cars must be saved
from spelling, and every loyal Ameri-
can must help eat potatoes and SAVE

TOOYOUNC TOKEEP
GAS MASKS ON

Many people say: "Why doesn't the
government do the work of the Red
Cross7" There is no better reply to
this question than to cite some of the
activities of the American Red Cross.
Last August the American Red Gross
issued IN order for an automobile to
be given to French hospital for chill
dren of Toul, near Nancy. A lot Of
chintzes for the bedrooms were sent
down to brighten them up, lot Of toys
for the children-French children
brought in from the war zone, too
young to keep on their gas masks. To-
day ten Red Cross automobiles are
hauling to Red Cross hospitals In
France French children whose parents,
. held in slavery In Germany. are now
being dumped every day at Evian, on
the Franco-Swiss border.
Fancy our government doing that for
French children. Yet 1t must be done
II the French morale behind the lines
Is to be kept up. These deeds OF the
American Red Cross are just as much
a part Of our military policy in France
and Italy az though they were done m

FAMINE FACES FRANCE
SAVE WHEAT TO SEND
OVERSEAS TO ALLIES

1.-THE Allies are still hungry
and if you can spare little more
flour, for Gods sake send it,"
was the plea made recently by
British officer to an American
audience.
Who of you, after hearing that
heart-breaking cry after realizing the
necessity which faces the brave ma
tons Of Europe, can help saving
wheat?
Two definite appeals to us are
voiced there.
Ono is to patriotism, the other to
common sense.
The Allies cause is our cause. Our
men are fighting shoulder to shout
der with their men. II food fails, the
fighters must fail. The war must be
lost to Liberty. Even the most ignor-
ant among us knows what a German
women and children of the land. Our
love of country, our love of our
homes, our every instinct of self
preservation must make us do every
thing, whether great or small toward
victory
The other appeal is that of human
ity. Who can refuse to deny himself
because Of his greediness, his love of
his own food habits, when that
thought-the thought of the Allies
suffering-comes to US?
Can any one with either sense or
scnsibility keep on eating wheat pro-
ducts in the present need? Does it
not throw human weakness into an
ominous German shadow to insist up
on having food requiring white flour?
Won't you-all you red-blooded
willing American citizens let that
British officers cry for the Allies
sound in your ears: III you can
spare little more flour, for Gods
sake send it?''
