the fellows over there want mail. He
says:
Dear Mr.. White:
FRANCE, April ., 1918. - / re-
ceived your letter some days ago and
the bunch Of papers you were kind
enough 10 send me last evening, both
Of which were very welcome. No one
can realize, except the fellow who is
over here, just to what extent mail
from home is appreciated. 1t is re-
ally amusing 10 watch the boys at
mail call. They stand around the Of
flee door, all the eagerness in their
faces Of a bunch Of kids in front Of a
Christmas tree. And if they are turn
ed away disappointed, they have all
the kids disappointment, too.
l didn't realize when l was writ

the nerve to turn it into the paper. l
scrubbed it down, partly for my own
amusement and partly because l
thought the youngsters at school
might enjoy it a little. But / would

for another job on the Mcmillan Eng

a tall building, but nothing like that
at all! l never realized what a won
derful world this was until ! went up.
You can see all the trees, plowed
fields, houses and everything for miles
around. Everything is so green and
pretty - surely a beautiful sightl
You are so struck with the beauty
and wonder of it all that you do not
think about your elevation. Brock
tried to get me above the clouds today
to show me what they say is the most
beautiful sight for man to behold, but
the air was so rough We couldn't make
it. At $500 feet, a train Of 6 coaches
looks about the size of a pin, and you
can see the Mississippi from almost
its very source. At that altitude, the
railways and wagon roads show up
very plainly, but you can't distinguish
individual effects moving around, and
it is interesting to watch other ships
soaring beneath you-gee, but it's
pretty!
When down about 600 feet, you can
see folks moving around; distinguish
details on the ground, like rows Of
corn, trees, stumps and things like
that. l was not lost at all up there,
except when l first went up, and when
he did a tight spiral" with me. Gee,
didn't know what was happening!
All | could see was the horizon stand
ing straight up instead Of horizontal,
and the ground spinning around like

| but | wasn't a bit scared, for Brock is
a wonder! He is % years old and

so banks with me and a nose dive"
but they didn't effect me like the spi-
raj. On a turn it looks like one wing
stands still while the ship pivots
around it. You always have the SEN
sation that you are stationary while
the ground moves. That was my "joy

How it feels to be $500 feet in the
air with an expert flyer who has been
in the game since he was sixteen years
old, and as a result, has gray hair at
twenty-five, is Interestingly told in
the following letter, written by Rodes
Jesse to the folks at home" ROdes

Aviation School at Port Field. Tenn.
Dear Folks:
PARK FIELD, Tenn. - Do you re-
member that famous character,
Flip" of the funnies? Well, that's
who l look like now? All Of my face is
blistered from the sun except two
large round circles about my eyes
where my goggles have protected por-
tons Of my face. You see, we wear
yellow tinted goggles SO that the suns
rays will not blind Us, and the "fixins"
around the sides kinda shade our eyes.
1t even hurts to touch my face any
where else, though. We fly for twelve
hours at a time-that is, the flyers are
divided into two divisions with a sep
arate set Of instruction "birds" and
machines for each set. One bunch goes
on at 6:30 in the morning and flies
until 1870 that day. Then "B" class
goes on at 1890 and flies until 7:3(
that day. Next day "B" Glass fliei
in the morning and "A" in the after

and Saturday morning each week.
