INCIDENTS OF AIR FIGHTING

Stories Of the air fighting over the
battle lines are smazing. One OBJ
server. coming into his station. shot
down four machines.
In the same fighting a British pilot
chased one enemy plane to earth and
was swooping down to finish OF hts
antagonist when the man climbed out
Of his machine and held up his hands
in token Of surrender.
$50 did not kill him." the Brit
ish pilot said. but on my way home
! met a group Of enemy machines
and got a bullet in me, but managed
to land inside our lines"
The report Of this incident ends
with the statement that the pilot died
in a hospital shortly after relating
his experience.
A British two-seater shot down
two enemy machines during a battle
royal in the air. The pilot was badly
wounded and fell across his controls.
The observer. however. leaned for
ward and secured his comrades body
and managed to get control Of the
machine. He brought II TO earth,
where II crashed. but both the occu-
pants escaped death.
Another pilot during the course Of
a fight started for home wounded.
When ten feet above the ground in
side his own lines, he collapsed from
loss Of blood.

Douglas Helmet is New Innovation

The Douglas Helmet" is an inno-
walton in Red Cross work. 1t was
invented by Mrs. r. S. Morton, De-
troit. Michigan, who asked that it be
called the Douglas Helmet" in hon
or Of her son. Douglas, who was in
the service. The new helmet has the
advantage that it takes far less yarn,
may be crocheted instead OF knitted,
therefore saving much time, and
may be made by an active worker in
couple OF hours.
In it's use it has the advantage of
being smaller. more easily carried
than larger helmet, is without the
muller attachment of the ordinary
helmet. and has all the warmth and
protection for the face and ears of
the wearef that the old helmet DOS
sesses.
Material: Khaki or gray worsted
Knitted yarn, 1 skeim. Crochet nee
die No. 5.
Single crochet: Insert hook, draw
yarn through, pass yarn around the
hook and draw it through both loops
on the hook. Start in the center with
chain Of four, join one chain, single
crochet into this, Increasing enough
to keep 1t fiat and continue around
and around, increasing gradually un-
til you have a perfectly fiat top, 6A
inches in diameter. Then continue
row after row without increasing for

measure 6 .inches from center of

inches around. Do not break of
yarn. Chain one, turn, skip I stitch

piece, leaving 8 inches for front of

Samuel L. Shober. Jr., of Philadel-

This young Philadelphian, bred in
the shadow Of Independence Hall,
was having a night off recently from
his arduous and extremely danger
Gus duty as an ambulance driver on
the battlefront. But he had become
SO attached to his job Of hiking the
wounded off the field under fire that
he just had to hang around and
watch his plucky comrades work.
Stars cleaned frostily in a dark
blue dome; the boom Of big guns
the novelists would say, the shell
pocked landscape was illuminated by
varicolored star shells which the
Huns sent up from their trenches to
frustrate designs of French raiding
parties.
Shober was watching wounded be-
ing lifted into ambulances which
were parked nearby. Suddenly there
was terrific explosion. Shober gaz-
ed upward and became tense when
he observed a whole flock of Boche
aircraft just overhead. The Hun
aviators were serving the cause of
humanity by dropping bombs upon
the ambulances.
"The dirty dogs!" growled Shober,
and as he spike his 1.-THE young body

IF THE Governor should call an
extra session of the Delaware legis-
lature. and it is not improbable that
he will have to before the summer
season comes, one OF the most i'm
portant questions that session will
have TO solve will be draft of labor"
which may take the form of a regis
.ration and compulsory labor law.
There are enough men and women
in Delaware to solve the labor prob
lem in a large measure, if the auth
critics had the power to compel SER
vice. This country has reached
point where individual liberty cuts
but little figure. when the safety of |
the whole country is to be consider.

snt to deal with the great questions
which must be solved. as any which
'ould be elected in Delaware.

THE URGENT need now is and will
be more urgent next spring for labor
to work/dpon the farms of the United
States. 1t is true that women are
doing much OF the work formerly
done by men on Delaware farms. and
that there are many retired farm
ers" who might be called back" to
the farm for a time-but the fact is
plain, that the United States must let
down the bars against the Chinese
and Japs, and fill up the great short
age in farm labor at once. Unless
this or some other policy Of greater
result is done quickly, then the Unit
ed States will face a great and seri-
GUS crisis, and be unable to play the

war the world has ever seen. Let in

1T WAS NOT altogether a desire to
save coal which led the merchants OF
Milford to stop keeping their stores
open on Wednesday nights of each
week. which was one of the two shop
ping nights out of the week when the
stores of Milford were opened. There
is growing objection on the part Of
the clerks to work nights at anytime
and it is a very proper objection. The
closing saves more than coal, BY re-
dueing the electric light used: for it
saves the energy of the individual
clerk and the proprietors of the
stores as well. Close all stores as
far as the clerks are concerned, at
seven o'clock at the latest.
Milford chronicle., 1918-01-04

THE BITTER cold which covered
the entire eastern part of the United
States this week has caused great
suffering because the supply of coal
and fuel has been short in almost
every place-even at the coal mining
cities When the thermometer gets
below zero in Delaware there is al.
ways suffering as a result. The re-
port that fowls froze and died in their
roosting places in Milford Neck in
dicstes the unpreparedness OF this
country for zero weather. These ex-
periences come once in about every
twenty or thirty years. and the winter
Of 1918 seems to be one OF those |
epocs.
