poor recommendation.
Aero-neurosis Is the name which II
sometimes given to nervous troubles
brought about by the strain Of flying,

consists Of "long spells Of idleness
~punctuated by moments Of intense
fear" He has to endure intense cold.

COLONEL SALTER DRAWS THE
LONG BOW DESCRIBING SOUTH

Colonel T. J. ID. Salter returned this
morning from a trip taken through
the new South. 1t is better than any
book-agent story to hear the colonel
recount the pleasures of his journey,
the prosperity of the country that
never before for forty years has
known the good times financially
which it now enjoys, the finest food in
the world. with the fifty-seven differ
ent varieties of preserves served at
each meal. the game especially quail
hunting, where the birds almost sit on
the nose of your dog and no matter
how recklessly you shoot, you can't
miss; the possum hunt by moonlight
and the aftermath of nice fat possum
and sweet potatoes and all the other
good things to match, would make the
majority of us facing war prices and
things, want to leave for the sunny
South without a care if we ever come
back.
