lily observing that nothing could be
done with what was left, l made my
way back to infantry headquarters,
where l was able TO telephone in a
report.
A little later one of our automo-
biles came out after me and took me
back to our airdrome. Most of my
squadron thought l was lost beyond
doubt, and never expected to see me
again; but my friend, Paul Raney, had
held out that 1 was all right, and as
l was afterwards told, said, "Don't
send for another pilot; that Irishman
will be back. il he has to walk" And
he knew that the only thing that kept
me from walking was the fact that our
own automobile had been sent out to
bring me home.
/ had lots to think about that day,
and 1 had learned many things; one
was not to have too much confidence
in my own ability. One of the men In
the squadron told me that 1 had bet
ter not take those chances; that it
was going to be a long war and l
would have plenty of opportunities to
be killed without deliberately wishing
them on" myself. Later was to learn
the truth of his statement.

marked up for duty as usual.
asked the commanding officer, a
major, what the reason for that was,
and he replied that he thought had
done enough for one day. However,
knew that If / did not go, someone
else from another "fiight" would have
to take my place, and insisted upon
going up with my patrol as usual, and
the major reluctantly consented. Had
he known what was in store for me,
am sure he wouldn't have changed his
mind so readily.
AS ii was we had only five machines
for this patrol. anyway, because as we
crossed the lines one of them had to
drop out on account of motor trouble.
Our patrol was up at 8 p. m, and up
to within ten minutes of that hour it
had been entirely uneventful.
AT 1850 p. m, however, while we
were flying at height of $4,000 feet,
we observed three other English ma
chimes which were about 5000 feet
below us pick fight with nine Hun
machines.
1 knew right then that we were in
for ii, because / could see over toward
the ocean a whole flock of Hun ma
chimes which evidently had escaped
the attention of our scrappy country
men below us.
So we dove down on those nine
Huns.
At first the fight was fairly even.
There were eight of us to nine of them.
But sobn the other machines which /

were flying even higher than we were,

these balloons. 1t was considered a
very important part of our work to
Keep them out of the sky.
There are two ways of going after a
balloon In q machine. One of them is
TO cross the lines at low altitude, fly
ing so near the ground that the man
with the antiaircraft gun can't bother
you. You fly along until you get TO the
level Of the balloon and If, in the
meantime, they have not drawn the
balloon down, you open fire on it and
the bullets you use will set it on fire
If they land.
The other way is TO fly ever where
you know the balloons to be, put youi'
machine in a spin so that they can't
hit you, get above them, spin over the
balloon and then open fire. In going
back over the line you cross at a few
hundred feet.
This is one of the hardest jobs in
the service. There is less danger in
attacking an enemy's aircraft.
Nevertheless, l Ind made up nv
mind to either get those balloons or
make them descend, and only hoped
that they would stay on the job until
4 had a chance at them.
When our two hours duty was up,
therefore, l dropped out of the fOrma-

War Industries Board Asks Mer.
chants to Cut Down on
Wrapping Paper.
PULP NEEDED FOR MUNITIONS
People Asked to Use Market Baskets

observation-disclosures M. Baruch,
chairman of the war industries board,
has issued an order affecting every re-
tail store throughout the United
States. ALI merchants are directed to
reduce their consumption Of wrapping
paper, bags, paper boxes, stationery,
ETC., to what IL absolutely necessary.
The necessity for this order became
apparent when IL was realized that
the government would 500 be obliged
to divert to the ammunition manufac-
turers a large quantity Of chemical
pulp formerly used In making wrap
ping. tissue, book and other strong pa
pers. The increasing production of
ammunition and the short cotton crop
make this necessary.
Ask Public to Cooperate.
The cooperation of the public In
complying with this ruling a be
counted upon, IL they are properly In
formed that 1t is necessary as a war
measure. To secure this cooperation
merchants should place placards In
their windows calling attention to the
order of the war industries board.
Gumnied labels bearing the slogan,
Don't Waste Paper" should be used
on all packages and attention should
be directed to the government order in
newspaper advertising.
In addition to the discontinuance of
unnecessary wrapping, consumption of
wrapping paper can be reduced by the
following methods:
Do not use more paper than neces-
sary to wrap merchandise.
Do not use heavier paper than nee
essary. Consult your PAPER dealer as
to the most serviceable and economical
grade.
Use the old paper taken from par
cells delivered to you.
Use newspapers when possible.
Other Savings Possible.
The consumption Of tissue paper can
Ne reduced by eliminating as far as
possible the use of tissue paper for
packing.
Consumption Of paper boxes a be
reduced by eliminating Christmas
boxes for holiday gifts and for candy,
by using lighter weight boxes and
using old boxes over again.
A considerable saving In paper bags
can be effected by using the smallest
size bag possible and encouraging Gus
toners to use a market basket for
vegetables.
Consumption Of Office stationery can
be reduced by the following methods:
Use lighter weight paper and small
er size envelopes.
Write on both sides Of the paper for
long letters.
Use one-half and three-quarter
sheets of correspondence paper for
short letters.
Use the backs of letters for carbons.
Make use of spoiled sheets and
backs of envelopes for scratch pads.
