BALLOON IN WAR
DOES GREAT WORK
"ELEPHANTS" USED FOR OBSER-
WALTON AND TO DIRECT
FIRE OF BATTERIES.
PILOTS PARACHUTE JUMPERS
Thousand Community Labor Boards
Have Been Organized-Gun Produc-
ton for Army Grows REPUBLICATION
Ratons Ordered.

(From Committee on Public Information)
Washington.-Up to few years ago.
in the public mind, all balloons were
associated with parachute jumpers,
county fairs and circuses. They were
used very much like their rival the old
side show, full of freaks, solely to
draw a crowd Today Uncle Sam is
making balloons and training their op-
orators for distinctly another purpose.
The ungainly old balloon of circus days
is now rival of its smarter and more
modern brother the airplane, in the job
of being eyes for the army and navy.
A dead industry was revived when the
war balloon was originated.
Swinging far aloft at the end of
cable, these elephants" as they are
now called, support trained observers
who, by means of powerful field glasses
and telephones, give range and direc-
ton to batteries. These in turn, with
well directed shots, put enemy batter
les out of business and break up infan-
try forming for attack. A stationary
balloon four or five thousand feet in
the air is an ideal place for an OBJ
server.
So Uncle Sans parachute jumpers
are being instructed today, not as
entertainers to draw and thrill crowds
by 'Ieaps from the clouds," but for
their own personal safety and
the safety of their records made
at high elevations, when a shell
or an enemy airplane rips tiie!"
balloon and they have to jump. For
although their balloon may be destroy
ed, the men in the basket usually come
safely to earth and bring their maps
and photographs with them. 1t is a life
full of excitement these men of the bal
loon lead, and to be member one has
to have plenty of nerve, courage and
daring in his makeup.
Aviators take off their hats to the
balloon men. One recently returned
American air pilot told of an adventure
he had on trial trip in balloon;
how interested he was becoming in the
work of the observer as the latter eX-
planned the great panorama outstretch-
ed below him; when suddenly the bal
loon man interrupted his talk to see
that his parachute straps were 0. e.
climbed to the edge of the basket,
shouted: "Beat it; follow me-" and
Disappeared over the side. The avi-
asci :; 4 lie took one look at the wind
lass pL.ii.i.g the balloon to earth below
another at the oncoming enemy plane
and said to himself, mot for mine"
He said he did not have the courage
enemy plane was beaten off by allied
planes before it could get any nearer.

ver-tOne cloths in which tiny fiecks OF
white appear in brown, taupe, gray,
blue or Burgundy-colored cloths. 1t is
a straight-hanging garment with plaits
at the front and back, stitched down
in accurate straight lines to the depth
of the waistline and finished with
arrow heads. Squirrel fur makes the
convertible collar and deep cuffs on
this coat and it harmOnizes delight
fully with the indistinct white flecks
in the material.
The other coat is made of taupe-
colored Yulama cloth, a new name
for a smooth-faced heavy wool fabric.
1t is cleverly cut and machine-stitched
and has large pockets cut in one with
a panel at the front. Flying squirrel
fur and very large taupe buttons fin
ish off a coat that compels us to turn
round and look again when it passes
our way. 1t has the distinction Of com.
bining originality with beauty.

Nuts, the shells of nuts and seeds
and pits of several varieties of fruits
are needed in quantity supply to make
carbon for use in gas masks or respi-
rators for our soldiers.
Coconut shells have furnished the
material for this carbon, but the sup
ply of such shells is wholly inadequate
The seed and pits of peaches, prunes,
dates, apricots, plums, olives and cher
ries, and English or native walnuts,
hickory nuts, butternuts and their
shells, and Brazil nut shells, are the
best substitutes for the coconut shells.

Experiments in laundering shoes are
being conducted at various camps by
the conservation reclamation division
of the quartermaster corps. The meth
cd used is the same employed by the
American expeditionary forces.
A solution composed Of one quart OF
strong disinfectant to so gallons of wa
ter was used to wash about 200 army
shoes in a standard laundry machine
The solution used is germicide, antisep
tic and deOdOrant. After IA minutes
washing, the shoes were removed, dried
for about an hour and then resoled
The results were found to be highly
satisfactory After the shoes are laun
dered and repaired they are creased
with clubbing to make them more phi
able and at the same time to preserve
the leather.

Provost Marshal General Crowder
was requested by the British embassy
to give notice to the fact that British
subjects, including declarants, who had
registered before July 80, 1918, may
enlist voluntarily in the British or Ca

MOTION PICTURE STARS
WORKING FOR LOAN DRIVE

Los ANGELES, April 12.-Five
headliners of the motion picture
vocabulary Pickford, Douglas Fair,
banks, w. S. Hart, Charlie Chaplin
and Marguerite Clark-are on their
way to play "one-night stands" for
the government in the Third Liberty
loan campaign.
Miss Pickford, Chaplin, and Fair
banks were asked by Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo to attend the
April 9Th rally" in Washington, d.
c., marking the first anniversary of
Americas declaration of war upon
Germany.
Each planned two weeks trip.
Miss PickfOrd is billed" by the Lib
erty loan committee to speak in Phil
adelphia, New York, Boston, Pitts
burgh, Chicago, St Louis and Kansas
City.
Fairbanks and Chaplin we're asked
to cover decidedly more meetings, the
former agreeing to do good deal of
talking from the car platform at stops
between the eighteen cities wnere he
will address mass meetings.
Hart will open his tour at San
Diego tonight, and appear in Los An
geles, Salt Lake City, Spokane, Sc
attic, Tacoma, Portland, Oakland and
San Francisco, showing himself as he
has become known in motion pictures,
in costume as the "two-gun man"
The United States government
agreed to pay the expenses of the five
stars, but no compensation. AS all
head companies here, which will be
idle during their absence, the actual
cost of the tours, it is estimated, will
be extremely large

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
SHOW APPRECIATION

The recent Knights Of Columbus
war fund drive in Cordova and vicin-
fty was a success far beyond the san
guine expectation of the committee
having the drive in hand.
That the very laudable work the
Knights of Columbus are doing in
the camps and at the front in pro-
viding recreatiOnal centers, that not
only rest and restore the bows phys-
ically and mentally, but prove to be a
home to the homesick and medicine
to the worn-out; where all are well
come, without regard to creed or af-
,filiations, is thoroughly appreciated
and Endorsed by the people of Cor
dOva, was emphatically shown by the
bFoad-minded, generous response to
the appeal for funds.
According to population, the COM
mittee figured the proportionate
quota for Cordova should be about
$500, but Cordova, as ever, went
over the top" contributing more than
$1,10O, with several collections yet
to hear from
The committee wishes to thank the
public in general for their generosity
the collectors for their zeal and en-
ergy, that made the drive such a sue
cess, and the Cordova Daily Times
for the appreciated aid given in pub
fishing news items and editorials.
