Attending Aviation School-Gains
In Weight And Chest Expansion
Working Hard.

Working Hard.
Shields Moore, son of DR.. and Mrs.
]. G. Moore of Mexico, is attending
the United States Aviation School at
the Georgia Institute of Technology.
at Atlanta, Georgia. He has written
letter home from which The Mes
sage is permitted to use the follow
ing paragraphs:
1 had intended to write you yes
terday, but was in no condition to
do SO. We are supposed to be free
from Saturday noon until Monday
morning, but right after dinner Sat
urday we were lined up and they
gave us a shot of typhoid serum and
also vaccinated us for smallpox. 1t
made ME rather sick last night, but
am all o. X. now.
l will give you a schedule of my
work as nearly as possible. We get
up at $3.50 a. m. Have 30 minutes
to dress, clean up and assemble at
600 o'clock Then from 80 to As
minutes we have setting up exercis-
es in trousers and undershirts, and
the the weather is cold that early in
the morning, usually fSor Is above
zero. However, after they have Civ
en- us a quarter of mile around the
track at double time we are all well
warmed up.
1t is sure good for you, tho. 1
thought at first it would kill me. I
have picked up five pounds in weight
and my chest expansion has increas-
ed one inch. never felt better in
my life. 1 eat like hog.
At 700 o'clock we have break
fast. At 500 o'clock we have drill
until 9:3O; classes until noon. At
1890 we have dinner. At 100 we
have either studies or class work.
At 800 we have drill again until
$500 p. m.
Besides three and a half hours
drill per day have eight. studies
duties of supply officer, radio,
transportation machine gun, court
martial, Hygiene, aeroplane parts
and gas engine. So you see have
enough to do to keep us out of mis-
chief.
We are quartered four in a room.
Have a little coal stove to furnish
heat, and everything is comfortable.
The work is hard but 1 like it and
would not leave here unless had to.
We are being trained for supply Of
fcers, and when we get our commits
sions at the end of eight weeks we
will be placed in charge of depots of
aviation supplies. No one knows for
sure but the general opinion is that
we will be sent across at once. The
need of supply officers is very great.
The fact that we are making 1t thru
so fast seems to indicate that we will
be "oVeF there" as soon as possible.
This course was originally IL weeks.

night lunch l was hit by bullet. 1t
struck me just below the knee COM
ing out six or eight inches lower
down, after passing thru the small
bone. The doctor says that prehis-
toric man was the only one who
found use for this bone and that he
used it in climbing trees, so l guess

church. had to look up my diary to
see when last 1 attended services.
1t was the first week in September,
and the meeting was in the open air.
1t was in the French city where we
landed and before we entered the
war zone.
We marched about 20 strong,
equipped with belts and bayonets,
filed into st. Johns Church and took
a front seat. The parson after go
ing thru some preliminary services
asked us ii he was correct in surmis-
ing us to be Americans He wished to
mention the ruler of our nation in
his prayer and was not real sure of
our nationality.
l have a steady Job now. Have
not lost but one day since Septem-
Der 27th And l believe Uncle Sam
will insure us steady employment for
some time to come. l am train dis

little, and sometimes sew a little
