SPIRIT OF AMERICA TODAY
His Heart Still Beat High With
Patriotic Fervor.

An old man, thin and bent with the
years OF hardships plainly marking his
wrinkled face. stood on a station plat
form at an Indiana town recently as
q train bearing a party Of young men
registrants to Camp Taylor stopped.
The old man wore n faded blue uni
form. the badge of the Civil war. He
had message for the young men who
were 10 he enrolled in Uncle Sam S
great army. and soon he was surround
ed by a group of young fellows.
II wasn't counting on getting to talk
to so many of you boys" he told them
tremulousiy. IT just came down to
give something to one Of Uncle Sans
new soldiers"
He drew a parcel from under his
coat and opening it displayed pair OF
almost perfectly knitted socks. They
amt much for my country" he apollo
gized, .but they will help some young
fellow to fight better. These don't look
like much for a soldier to give, but
knitted them myself and bought the
yarn out ~ my pension money"
thin fellow got the socks because
the old soldier thought he would need
them most. The train pulled out ana
the little old soldier went back home
to knit another pair OF socks for an

lake PHOTOGRAPHS At NIGHT
handieaps Of Fog and Darkness Have
Been Overcome by Development
Of New Process.

Neither fog nor darkness handicaps
the supereyes Of the war department
signal corps cameras, according to
Edward Hungerford, who describes
the remarkable progress Of wartime
aerial photography in Everybody's.
He gives some interesting examples:
Il have seen a photograph Of q wan
ing moon over Rome-taken by the
new process. 1t is the first real pic
ture Of the moon that / have ever seen,
although l formerly attempted the
thing myself. Most of the moonlight
pictures that one sees are fakes
made by photographing the sun In
various unusual and artistic phases.
But this was real. One could see the
tiny pools Of water standing in the
uneven places Of the tagging. the
hickering street lamps at the corner. A
picture whose reality almost makes 1t
uncanny. And the photographer who
took the picture in the rain was ar
rested by gendarme as being mental
ly unsound. He was only released
when he took a picture Of the lieuten-
ant at the police station and proved
beyond question that he could make
good portraits by artificial light.
II have seen photographs made by
this new process from the front row Of
. theater balcony during the progress
Of the play; others made in church
during vespers and illumined entirely
by the candles upon the high altnr.
The process is very new and 1t is very
wonderful. Moreover. 1t is susceptible

Your Job Printing Solicited
Aerial Tank.

An aerial tank has been invented
and put into practical use by italian
soldiers who have astounded the world
by their extraordinary feats in noun
tain warfare. An Austrian machine
gun emplacement was so situated on
a mountain side that 1t poured har-
assing fire into an Italian post. The
Austrian position was unassai!able by
ordinary means. but 1t was necessary
that 1t be wiped out. A "Telefericas
car. many Of which are operated by
the Italians across chasms and up
mountain sides. was armored and
equipped with machine guns. Volun-
teers were called for. and from the
many who responded two were chosen
to man the guns. This improvised
aerial dreadnaught was then swung
out across the valley. After one or
two exploration trips at a dizzy height,
the men in the cnr finally located the
Austrian post and quickly put 1t out
of action.
