off before you could say Jack Robin
 son. As I looked back I counted II
 Hun machines, and they didn't even
 start to chase us There were IT when
 we dived on them. Our flight com
 mander and leader shot one down in
 flames, another fellow and I probably
 drove two down "out of control" I
 say probably, because the Huns have
 way of faking those things. and to
 cap the climax these IT Huns were
 so busy getting away from us they
 didn't fire a shot, or at least none that
 hit any of our machines. The whole
 flight lasted only about a minute or
 two when we went on about our bus
 mess patrolling up and down the line. This is what an aerial fight is like. I've told you everything ab- solutely as it happened with no ex- aggeration at all. so you can see what work we are doing. I don't know what American papers tell you about aerial fighting, but probably it is lot of stuff and nonsense ike what most papers do print
 Things are very comfortable here- We have a fine mess with comfortable quarters, a tennis court and concrete swimming pool. We have to have l things like this to 8 certain extent. The strain of our work is honestly terrible. Four hours flying over the l front line at a high altitude absolute 1 ly tires you out It is the strain on 1 nerves and brain of course. I don't l know what it will be like when I get l back but my hair is beginning to 1 show gray just a very little now. But l don't think by this that Pm entirely l worn out and everything. Really I 1 am feeling fine and better physically | than I ever felt before. Well, I'll close
 for now. hoping you are all well. Give l my love to Mary and Wyhe.

Don't Let Soap
 Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care ful what you use. Most soaps and prepared >shaMpoos contain too much alkan, which i4 very injurious. as it dries the scalp aud makes the hair brittle.
 The best thinEsto use is just plain musified coeoanut Aoil. for this is pure and entirely grea seless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy father, cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy. wavy and easy to handle. Besides. it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.

within the town of Norwich,
 Attorney Quinn had the civil en- gineer give the same kind of state ment regarding fares affecting the town of Sprague.
 Ex-Mayor T. c. Murphy testified that his business experience was that the advance in trolley fares was an in jury to the city, hardship on many families that might trade here. He styled the fare to Baltic. 22 cents, as exhorbitant, and said the distance from Taftvil1e to the city line was so short that there was not time to col lect the fares.
 First Selectrnan R. J Jodoin of the town of Sprague said that people were giving up coming to Norwich to trade 1 since the fares had been advanced Land there was great deal of dissat- l isfaction.
 1 Dennis R. Sullivan, who represented the Baltic Mills association, gave fig ures on the fares as they had been
 advanced and said that before the ] fares were raised all car trips were crowded so that you couldn't get a
 "strap seat" Now there is plenty of
 room. Two weeks ago on the O.
 clock Saturday trip he had counted 1 thirteen people.
 1 Y. h.' bal4eyI nfBt Selectman Of the town of Norwich. said that he had had l many telephone complaints about the fares, referring chiefly to people who use the cars to Norwich Town and beyond there. MT Bailey said he had
 taken to using his horse since it cost ten cents to get to Peck's Corners
 where it used to cost five cents. 1 Attorney Whittlesey asked him if he didn't know that Norwich and New 1 London were about the only large
 New England cities where one could ride for a nickel. The selectmar
 answered that he was not familiar i with trolley riding in other large cities,

 The letter describing his fight is as follows:

 Somewhere in France,
 Aug, 23, 1918. Dear Iarrabee:-It's been so long since I've written to you that maybe you think I've forgotten all about you. It seems as if it is getting harder ev- cry day for me to write letters. Well, I suppose you will have all your hay ing over with by this time. How are the crops coming along? Floss said in one Of her letters that her fathers potatoes were all eaten up by some new kind of bug. I hope you didn't I have any bad luck like that.
 I've been pretty lucky since I've | been in France. I have shot down one Hun officially and I believe I have ! accounted for two more But it l hasn't been all peaches and cream do- i ing it. I've been in more tight cor 1 I CTS and had more narrow escapes than l like to tell about. It is rather l f~,, lot many Huns during his first month in ! France and I haven't been here a | month yet, not until Sept. 1. Just to slve you an idea of what our work is ] like I'll tell you about what we did i yesterday. Six machines with a pilot 1 and observer in each are a flight and l a flight is part of a squadron. Five of these machines fly in one forma- | ton generally. The sixth is given a rest so that we have a day off every sixth day. The five of Us were pa
 trolling our part of the front at about 1 14,80e feet about 10 to 15 miles over
 the Hun lines when we saw forma
 ton of Hun scouts about 200 or S0t feet below us. so we dove on them ] each picking out one Hun to dive on We must have taken them by sur
 prise because they split up and rar
 like a flock of sheep attacked b3
 wolves. I got a bead on my Hun anG aived at him almost vertically, hrine as I dived He started to wriggle ant
