By ANNIE LAURIE ,
nEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

TEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
We are two Hirls of l6. We have
been corresponding with two boys of
the same ago for q short time. They
have paid us visits.
Do you think It wise for US to visit
their home. as one has sister near
our age? She would like to have us
come. We would not go alone. as an
older person would go with us.
We do not think Of love yet as We
are far too young. but we wish to
have good time and just to consider
the boys a. friends.
PUSS AND POLLY.
nUsS AND POLLY: As long as you
do not think of the boys In senti-
mental way I can see no harm In
your going to their home. az you are to
be the guests of their sister.
You are very wise to be just boys and
girls for long time and not to think OF
love until you are older.

FIND GOLD IN EAST INDIES
Precious Metal Is Sought in Many
Places, Though No Great Amounts
Are Recorded.

Gold is found in Sumatra, the
Celebes and in Dutch Borneo in beach
deposits, alluvial deposits, tertiary
gravel beds and also in vein deposits.
According to a government report, the
working of the gravel beds has so far
been of little Importance, and the
dredging companies have met with lit
tie success. The natives are employed
TO some extent in the washing Of river
sediment, and in certain parts OF su-
matra they also work the tertiary BEDS
in primitive way by tunnels. The
larger companies confne themselves
to working vein deposits.
1t Is understood that the greatest
quantity of gold is produced in the
residency of Benkulen, Sumatra. The
gold mining area extends sometimes to
length of two and one-half miles
Water power can be employed near
" everywhere. Some mines in central
Sumatra are being worked. The mines
In the Celebes are not as rich as those

Unsuitable appetite for flying, deted all rules OF
formation and safety in the air.
"If any layman or landsman reading the hrs
tory of Luke's career is inclined to fancy that
balloon strafing is an easy trick, no experienced
pilot shares that Illusion" says Coonel Harthey'
"In reality 1t is the most dangerous exploit any
man In any branch Of the service can UNDERTAKE.
The concentration Of anti-aircraft fire from the
ground makes It much more hazardous than' oeher
fighting. On every occasion of such attempts
Luke's machine was literally riddled with bullets
and twice he was compelled to ABANDON his an-
plane and break in a new one.
Here is a sample of the work Luke did: Sep
tember 10 1918 the enemy succeeded in getting
another balloon UP at Bonville, and second at
Rois dHingrv Luke had been watching Ike a
hawk this area and the moment a balloon aScendeu
no snottpd it and returned to his own aerodrome
with data and an appeal to be allowed to de-
stroy it.
"Before Luke went out on that afternoon, there
fore new tactics were decided upon. Three frlend-
" pscorting patrols of five machines were to dart
to Iuke's rescue, timed to arrive at the objective
GO seconds after Luke. Our balloons were advised
nv courier that at ;05 that afternoon Luke would
shoot down the Boinvie balloon and asked to be
on the lookout Almost to the second Luke was
nerceived diving hOmeward, with formation OF
five enemy F0kkers sitting on his tail and burn
ing balloon falling in the background. He man
aged to dodge the fire of the enemy and landed on
bis own side of the line and not far from the most
advanced American troops. Those on the ground
thought that he was lost. He had in fact landed
to get his own bearings and those of the second
balloon which ne had seen at a distance.
,.Without getting out of his machine without
even stopping his motor, careful only of hidden
shell holes which might smash his undercarriage,
he took off skllfully from ground which was never
intended as takingoff place for airplanes and
made straight for the balloon at Bots dHingry
"Without escort and with no companion, at eX-
actIv 90 minutes after shooting down his first
balloon, the second fell actually under the noses
