Whose Limit Is All That He Can

This is the song of the plane
The creaking, shrieking plane,
The throbbing, sobbing plane,
And the moaning, groaning wires:
The engine-missing again!
One cylinder never firesl
Hey no! For the planet
~
This is the song of the man
The driving, striving man,
The chosen, frozen man:
The pilot, the man-at-the-wheel,
Whose limit is all that he can,
And beyond, if the need is reall
Hey hol For the mani

This is the song of the gun
The m%uttering, suffering gun,
The maddening, gladdening gun:
That chuckles with evil glee
At the last long dive of the Hun,
With its end in eternity
Hey no! For the gunl
~
This is the song of the air
The lifting, drifting air, >
The eddying, steadying air,
The wine of its limitless space:
May it nerve us at last to dare
Even death with undaunted facet
Hey no! For the airl

 Platinum and tin are also to be col leCted at once. as there is a serious shortage of both metals, which are so essential to the industries of this coun- try. One ounce of platinum will make contact points for 150 army motor trucks. IL is also used for many hos pital instruments and for telegraph, telephone and wireless apparatus. The chapters will be allowed to sell what collect, according to directions from headquarters, and use the proceeds for Red Cross supplies. The chief concern of the government is to obtain these very necessary metals.
 A fruit stone campaign is also under way, and all are asked to save peach stones, apricot plum, prune and olive pits, date and cherry seed and shells of ali nuts. These are used in making a certain form of carbon needed for gas masks. Cocoanut shells have pre- viously been used, but there is now an acute shortage of these. After these shells and nuts have been collected they will be shipped to New London, the nearest collection center to Jewett City. It is necessary to start at once saving and drying. as the fruit and nut season is about over. No attempt at sorting need be made.
