OUR CAMPFIRE HIKE
CA True EXperience.)

IA 1iuC IIA pei ltHtC.J
The larger girls of College Hill
school decided to have a campfire.
There are seven girls in our camp
fire. We named it Filicum Camp
fire, which means helpfulness. I
am the guardian, as | have had
some experience before with the
work. 1t is not a chartered camp
fire because | am not old enough
to be guardian in a chartered
organization.
Our campfire decided to take a
hike on Sunday, March 6. Some OF
the girls went to Sunday school
The girls who did not go to Sunday
school met the others at Boswell's
lane. Nearly all the girls wore
gym .bloOmers. The girls that
went were Ella Van Ettan, Thelma
Roswell, Elizabeth kortright, Edith
Nickens, Luella Shook and myself.
We went through Boswell's woods
to Reeds Springs. When We got
to the springs we made fire on
which we fried our meat. We then
made our lemonade. For dinner we
had meat. three different kinds Of
sandwiches. baked beans, pie.
cookines, lemonade and apples. We
ate all we could then played about
an hour. 1t began TO rain so we
went to friends house We play
ed there until about D. m; then
we started for home. When we got
home We were very wet
Rain can never dampen happy
splits, so we had good time
nyway.-ZELA K. SHOOK, Sth
Grade, College Hill school, Wayne
township.
p. S.--We hope that all girls who
90 on hikes will have just as good
a time as We had We think we
will take the rest Of the children
in our room the next time we go.
Editors Note-The spirit and the
writing of this news story deserves
special mention. Let us hear from
you again sometime, Zela.

All right, and they carried the Ger
nan Gil to a hospital. ! was by his
side when he came 10.
"Ach. lie said. You are right,
,he English now have one OF the
best machines
IL don't think it is often that
German is sport like that, but it's
all the more pleasure when you do
find one"
IL never heard Of another such
fight between enemy airmen, al
though similar struggles for the
control of a machine have been
fairly common. At one time, both
British and French were sending UP
observers unused 10 air service, be-
cause they needed them faster than
they could be trained. This was
risky business and cost lot OF
lives and planes. An observer would
| often become frightened and grab
the control levers or the wheel. In
some squadrons the pilots were
equipped with clubs, much like a
policeman's and many one had to
subdue frenzied observer who
had been taught just enough flying
to make him think he knew more
aboue the handling the machine
than the pilot.
While | was in London, saw
battle between Zeppelin and an
| aeroplane. 1t was one of the first
raids over the city. Everything
had been in darkness before the
aircraft was discovered. Then a
| thousand searchlights were turned
into the heavens and the great gas
bag stood out like a ball of flame.
! Half dozen of our machines took
the air. their wings shining in the
light like those of great silver
birds.
The Zeppelin was flying very
fast and high, and some Of the
planes seemed to have difficulty
reaching her at the great altitude.
There was one, however, which to
, an experienced onlooker appeared
to be defying all the rules of flying
and of maneuvering. Yet it drew
always closer to the giant craft.
The searchlghts were turned off
for fear of binding our flier.
All eyes strained in the direction
| where the two enemies had last
! been seen. Presently there was a
| tiny glow of reddish light as though
smoker in the heavens had flick
ed the ash from cigar. For sec
ond it cleaned, then a burst Of
flame lit the whole sky. The Yep
pelin was burning, and, in it's light
we could see the aeroplane which
! had destroyed it. diving crafty for
the earth. The wreck of the Ger
man machine fell near P.... Bar
In every available vehicle, the
crowds hurried there. While the
police were holding them back from
the mass OF twisted metal and
charred bodies, an excited young
man pushed his way through the
| crowd. He whispered to a police
man and showed him a card with
photograph on it, and the officer
allowed him to pass through the
! crowd
tits Lieut. R......" whispered
some one. He's the worst flier in
England"
! l had heard of him before, and
| the reputation was justly earned.
! RI was considered by all the air.
men as a nervy but hopeless stu
dent. AS he was pushing his way
/ back through the crowd, the police
man asked him who had gotten
| the Zeppelin.
/ II did, said R, and he was
! telling the truth.-SAMMIE.
