WITH THE AMERICAN AIRMEN
IN FRANCE, July 10y Mail.)
$50 you want some gimper talk?"
said Lieut.. Eddie Rickenbacker, all
American ace and forme rspeed king,
in the auto racing world, today.
"We'll call bunch of the gimpers
in, and there viii soon be plenty of
gimper talk. But youth have to trans
late it or the people back home will
never understand this aviation dialect
we have developed over here"
Rickenbacker, who downed his five
Germans in less than two months
and became the second all-American
trained ace, is tall strapping chap
with a fine sense of humor and
winning smile. In his escadrille they
call him ''head gimper" just because
he is naturally a leader and the life
of the unit. The eseadrille is known
as the "gimper squadron" and was
the first group of American-trained
air fighters to take the field or he
air, rather, away from the German
airmen.
"a gimper is a bird who would
stick by you through anything" ex-
planned Rickenbacker. eff you were
up in the air and ran into a dozen
boches and were getting the worst of
it, perhaps, and the fellow with you
stuck with you and gave it to them
until the Heinies went back to Hun
land, you'd know he was a gimper.
''If he didn't have motor trouble
and his gun didn't jam, or he didn't
accept any one of dozen good ex-
cuses for looming off home and leav-
ing you to do the same if you could
get away, he'd be a gimper all right.
A gimper is a scout who does every
thing just a little better than he
has to.
1--WE call this the gimper squadron
because every man has to prove him
self a gimper by his actions. When
a new chap arrives he's an egg. All
good eggs soon become vultures, and
then they're promoted to gopher
standing. Then is when they have
to prove themselves gimpers and they
will be gimpers just as long as they
make good. A man who isn't a GIN
per can't stay with the squadron-its

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in a report just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over a year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
"We will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, land the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
g%anizations, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is a vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each is
indispensable, serving its particular
elements in its own way.
'The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in p~rivation and
trained to every phase of human mis-
cry and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
ave are of the common people, and
we toll on a practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson of how to do 1t in the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and weathered it
out to the end. We have been tried
by fire, and the mothers and fathers
of America, as in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men If
they but had the chance.
with 1,210 trained workers at the
front, operating from 420 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do its
best for the cause of humanity and
Liberty"

DO a WAR SERVICE BY
SAVING NUT SHELLS

Every American has the chance for
direct war service that will save the
lives of soldiers. Carbon is needed to
make millions of gas masks for the
American Army. Cocoanuts have fur
nished much of this material, but CO.
coanuts mean ships, and during the
present shortage material for carbon
must be found nearer home. h pits
of a~rricots, peaches, prunes, olives,
dates, cherries and plums and the
shells of Brazil nuts, hickory nuts, wal
nuts and butternuts make carbon for
masks that will outlast the most dis-
bolical of the German gases.
Here is work for all, every home,
church and school. Urge the boys and
girls to scour the woods for nuts and
incite your patriotic organizations to
rivalry IN making collections. See that
the work is started in your neighbour
hood. Place collection boxes in schools,
churches. banks and stores and, above
all, III your own home, so your boys
and girls can see the pile grow. 1t
takes two hundred peach stones or
seven pounds of nut shells to furnish
carbon for a gas mask and save the
life of an American soldier. How
many masks can your neighborhood
furnish?

TRY TO KEEP cows GAINING
Mistake to Think Animals Give Maxi
mum Amount Of Milk immedi-
ateIy After Freshening.

Ordinarily most farmers expect
their cows to give their greatest milk
flow Immediately after freshening,
and from that time on to gradually
decrease. This is not as it should
be, however, for it is the experience
of many good feeders that COW can
be made to increase in milk flow from
the time she calves until a month
or more afterward when she is at
her maximum production. 1t requires
careful feeding and close attention to
do this, however. The cows general
condition must be watched and she
must be fed accordingly. There is
many a cow that is now only an in
different milk producer that might
have a better record to her credit II
she were given better feed and care.
