scribing some of his experiences.
Hoffman was credited officially with
one German airplane. This was large
Fokker. He was scouting during rain
and snowstorm and met two OF
these fighting boche planes. Though
riddle3 with bullets, he managed 10
bring one of his opponents down In
flames and make his own landing.
One of the favorite tricks of the
Germans. he said, was to get above a
cloud and then fly just to the edge OF
It and lock over Another example Of
their technical strategy was to remain
on the ground until American or Allied
airmen had done considerable scouting
and had become chilled and were rum
ming short of gas. and then to mount
suddenly in large numbers and take
them at this disadvantage.
Hoffman carried four machine-guns on
his plane On one occasion he fired
tross machines which had attacked him.
He brought one of them down.
He spoke of the excellent perform
ances of the American airmen in doing
the vital work which fell to the aviator
as an essential branch Of the service.
Hoffman, who is twenty-nine years
old, was member of the 213th Aero
Squadron, which was commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel William Thaw, of
Pittsburgh. He graduated from the
Cornell ground school August 4, 1917.
and sailed for France on August 22.
1917, where he trained at Tours, Is

Everybody comes to the cafeteria

all eat at the same time and at the

The very good reason for the big din
ner plate is that the government has
provided the entire equipment and takes
care of all overhead expense, so that
the patrons get full value for their
money. on the meat course they usually
get more than full value. and the large
stone mugs for coffee hold at least two
cupfuls.
There are about $500 civilian en-
ployes at the arsenal now, who will be

BLIND SENATOR TO TALK

A determined effort to find out why
the consumer pays about 200 per cent
more for vegetables than the producer
gets fer them will be made at mass
meeting tonight in the Academy of
Music, when United States Senator Gore
will be the principal speaker. The meet
ing is TO be held under the auspices of
the Philadelphia Vegetable Growers
Association. A banquet at the Bellevue
Stratford will precede the meeting.
The meeting has been arranged to
acquaint Philadelphia consumers with
the alleged evils which exist in the
wholesale marketing facilities here. 1t
will be shown that exorbitant prices,
compared with those farmers charge
are asked At the meeting the associa-
ton hopes to enlist the cooperation of
the buying public In campaign to re-
duce prices
t. Corwin Starkey, president of the
association, will be chairman of the
meeting.
The meeting will be the opening gun
In our campaign to bring the farmer and
consumer closer together. We believe
the consumer will accept our opinions On
the reason for the present cost of food
in preference to the opinions of gentle
men who sit in office buildings all day
long.
Millions of dollars worth of food
was wasted in this country in the last
two years because there was no place
to store the surplusages of perishables.
Philadelphia farmers were a party to
the waste just as others were for the
reason that our storage warehouses are
entirely too few and too small Admis-
sion to the Wednesday night mass meet
ing will be free to the householders of
Philadelphia and 1t is hoped that an
overflow meeting will be necessary. The
farmers are eager to tell the consumers
the real truth about the cost of food"
