The following interesting letter has

student;
Kelly Field,
January %, 1918.
Dear Folks
so in order to do a good job of it I'll
endeavor to write a letter l am us
ing a stock on my knees that is about
two feet long and three inches wide,
get too excited.
Well. | have been up. 1t is great.
Last night was my first ride and We
went about 1000 feet will tell you
before hand. We are assigned to an
instructor first, also a ship. We are
in either a morning or afternoon class.
First they give you hours on the
dual control. then you start your solo
work. You don't have eight hours at
one stretch, but in the air, it may take
you ten days or more before you get
in the eight hours. 1t used to be six
hours before the pilot was turned
loose, but there are too many ships
wrecked, so now it's eight hours.
Last night I took my first ride as
told you. It's the funniest feeling l
ever had. After we left the ground
and kept going up everything was
lovely. but when he started turning
around. nose diving. spirialing. etc,
my insides got out of place. I did not
get scared very much, but such a SEN
sation. Well, when we got up 1000
feet, the instructor told me to take
the joy stick. It's not anything like
an auto, only the least little movement
sets you moving up or down.
l had devil of a time up there go
ing through a thousand figures.
don't think l was up over % minutes,
but l had enough, didn't say so, but
| had.
After we got in and the engine stop
ped the instructor said. How do you
like it?" 1 had a sickly grin and said
fine dope" When l got to my tent

ach was getting down where it ought
to be instead of up against my should.
ers as it felt when We came winding
down. l couldn't eat any supper but
this morning l felt fine and at
went up again for As minutes. This
time it was joy. l had control of the
joy stick most of the time, made eight
tail high landing. but didn't go over
on my nose. don't know whether
my turn will come around again this
forenoon or not. Tomorrow afternoon
I'll so up again.
Well, that's all there is to it. Now
it's to learn how to land on all three
points and then fly alone few hours.
etc. I'll tell you about that.
Give my regards to all. l am in
the air now and hope to be one of the
eyes of the army some day.

J. l.. Ford, ranchman of the Pc. cacho neighborhood on the west side of the Rio Grande, near Las Cruces, N. M., reports what may be an impor. tant archaeological find.
 In hunting for a lost cow he was led into deep canyon where his at tention was attracted by picture writ ing on the canyon walls. These were done in q yellow pigment and were apparently very old. They represent- ed lightning bolt, deer and spear heads.
 Several mortars were also found, in two of which the pestles still remained. This canyon is near the cave from which several years ago was taken the mum;nified remains of q man, SUD- pOsedly that of an Indian, with an ar row protruding from his chest.

CARRY FLAG OF THE STARS,
Red Cross Men, First at Front, Show That Emblem Stands for Ten
 derness and Pity.

It Is a beautiful thing to know that the first armed contingent that carried the American flag 10 the front on the allied lines was drawn from the men of the Red Cross ambulance, and that the first official division of the Amer ican army to land in England for serv- ice in the great war was hospital unit.. It is beautiful to think, too, that the same papers thnt told of General Pershing's visit to the tomb of Ma poleon, the master soldier, had also the story of splendid fund that is being raised to furnish and send to France a complete base hospital in memory of General Pershing's wife.
 It is good to feel that our "fiag of the stars" is standing for tenderness and pity more than for the pride of war, and that the blood with which it must so soon be stained with the scars and rents which 1t must so soon re- ceive will be as wounds borne not for glory's sake but for the healing of the nations.
 For we have come at last to know t1AL IL AS SdNAiASC dlouC tuuI 1Ol us the high things of the spirit; that blood is the price of soul sovereignty and of national renewal of heart. We accept again this inscrutable mystery. It is Gods decree.
 Our starred flag, with It's new wounds, its new stains of blood, is the beacon of our faith, the emblem of our trust in the coming of that war-bought peace to which our sword is pledged.- Anne Rankin in Southern Womsn's Magazine.

Mark Hanna's Aztec Servant,

An introduction to some of the lead CTS will show that there are brains as well as bullets behind the Zapata movement.
 Gen. Alfredo Serratos was former lawyer, who had made a good record as soldier. It will surprise Ameri- cans to learn that he was at one time a servant of Mark H., na. the noted politician of Ohio. Ills history is a romaa:lc one. As homeless waif he was taken to the Unite,i States by an American, who promised to give him an education. In Cleveland, O., the American died, and young Serratos was left stranded. For three years he worked at the home of Senator Hanna, moving lawns and caring for horses. Later the young Mexican returned to Mexico and studied law. He speaks three languages fluently. In the con- ventiOn cabinet he was elected secre- tary of war. These were some of the men who were Zapata's lieutenants and advisers.-Christia Herald.

Scarcity of Birds in France.

In NJ. Andre Godart's book, "Les Jard!ns VOlieres," the scarcity of birds in France is considered-a scarcity due to inefficient protection and so great as to be responsible for a loss of 4O,- 100000 francs to the grape growers of the Gironde in 1910 and so discourag- ing a decrease in the oil produce of Southern France that the olive growers talk of abandoning their industry. M. Godart proposes that goldfinches, bullfinches, linnets, yellowhammers thrushes, blackbirds and starlings which nest readily in garden aviaries, be reared in large and specially de- signed aviaries, and released when full grown to repopu!ate the now deserted woods and fields.
