was Jimmie, and I could see by the
stream of bullets that the German was
going to get Jimmie, if didn't get
him.
Fortunately, 1 did and he went
crashing to the ground, leaving Jimmie
struggling along, always lower and
lower and with a regular cloud of
black German Archie puffs all about
him. l hovered and did some loops
and turns over the German gunners
heads. The ruse insulted them and
they turned most of their Arches my
way, which did no harm since l had
plenty of speed and was in little dan
ger. But it saved Jimmie who was
now going terribly SLOW and the fact
that the Germans are so easily insulted
helped lot.
Just as Jimmie was reaching the
lines l noticed another gimper piquing
on him. 1 could not imagine why he
would pique on a gimper who was in
such a bad plight and / maneuvered
to attract his attention.
Later we learned this gimper was
a man from the squadron. He saw
Jimmie with one wing torn off and
thought he was a German Taub. He
was just about to let Jimmie have it
when he noticed the coquardsOn jim
mie's tail. So Jimmie had another
close squeak that day.
"We all got back all right-Jimmie
by nothing short Of miraele-and
felt a lot better about it. We never

which was after Jimmie. The Amer
lean plane which went out of control,
also turned out to be Jimmie, who was
doing a falling stunt to fox the Ger
mans. 1t was pretty piece of work,
for 1 surely gave the plane up for good.
He had flattened out near the ground,
come up for altitude, got in a fight
,ollided with German, who crashed,
and was struggling home when I saw
him the second time.

How Jimmie Meissner Wa.

Copyright, 1918, by the United Press. J
With the American Airmen in France,
July 10.-(By Mail)-''There was one
day in the history of the gimper sqnad-
ron wen never forget especially Jim
mie Meissner, one of the best gimpers.
1t was Jimmie Meissner day, / guess,
and if he WASH t scared to death, it s
because Jimmie doesn't know how to
be seared.'
Lieutenant Eddie Riekenbaeker fig
nred prominently in Jimmie Meissner
day." as he saved Meissner' 5 life
twice inside of an hour. Hence he Is
qualified to tell the story.
"Jimmie and L were out waiting
for some homecoming English bomb

got separated somehow. The English
men came along all right and ! spotted
them first. Then l saw squadron of
German planes harassing the English

War exigencies have resulted
in finding new uses for many
things, but feminine resourceful-
ness, developed as never before
by the pressure Of Circumstance
es, has seemingly reached the
limit in exalting the lowly shirt
tail as a patriotic agency. A
young lady living at Des Moines,
Iowa-we have forgotten her
name-would make cook aprons
of the yearly criminal wastage
in shirt tails and to that end, be-
ginning modestly, is urging "fa-
NOUS men throughout the ma
ton to contribute their shirt
ltails-their old ones of course
to this worthy cause. We hasten
to acknowledge a request for as
many as we can spare, doing SC
with that modesty which the cir.
cumstances compel, and will
comply as soon as we can make
such selections as will SHOW
proper realization Of aesthetic
requirements and as will exhibit
that degree Of taste which mas
culine vanity demands in so del
icate a situation. There is some
thing appealing in the though
that your favorite shirt-tail-
the one that stays stuff do
for that matter the one yol
most abhor because of its re
bellious disposition, may in

Cause Of Headache.

BY knowing the cause, a dis
ease may often be avoided. This
is particularly true of headache.
The most common cause Of head
ace is a disordered stomach or
constipation, which may be cor
rected by taking a few doses of
Chamberlains's Tablets. Try it.
Many others have obtained per-
manent relief by taking these
tablets. They are easy to take
and mild and gentle in effect.

Do You Enjoy Life.

A man in good physical condi-

life, while the bilious and dys-
peptic are respondent, do not
enjoy their meals and feel mis-

This i'll feeling is nearly always
unnecessary. A few doses Of
Chamberlain's Tablets to tone
up the stomach, improve the di-
gestion and regulate the bowels
is all that is needed. Try it.

Pink is vulgar, tho variable, and
the pink stripe, still glaringly
new, might catch the eye Of
some rare brunette, unafraid. OF
course you are particular as to
who will wear your shirt-tail,
any man would be under the cir
cumstances, but the field is wide
and being too insistent, even in
fancy, is not good taste. The
greens, whites and creams are
sure to appeal to the good sense
of middle-aged spinsters and
matrons of conservative taste
and you have no right to with
hold them. Only one considera-
ton will prevent the nationwide
response that should follow this
request, which viii enable every
man to contribute his bit, even
Iif he has to tear it of, and that
is the sacredness Of the shirt
tail itself, the awe in which the
average man holds it, the timid-
lity with which he views its
slightest disposition to become
conspicuous. Since it's first dim
beginning the shirt-tail has been
firmly repressed and has per-
force fingered in hidden places.
The slightest effort on its part
to court publicity, and even now,
when patriotic reasons seem a.
bout to force it's emancipation,
the emotions referred to are not
easy to overcome. 1t may have
