.HERO'S MOTHER Is
INSPIRED TO VERSE
|RY A 'DOUGHBOY'

A Doughboy statue, made IN Am
CIRCUS, has inspired a Gold Star moth
l er in far away Colorado to write a
toucbing poem on it, which she has
inst sent to E. NJ. Viquesney, the de-
signer. here. The verse, which fol-

Golden, Colo:
HE LIVES.
have a few art treasures
In this little house of mine
But something's lately come to it
That seems almost divine.
It's the statue of a Doughboy
And as ! at it look
I'm far, oh very far away
From my own ingle nook.
I'm yisioning the trenches and Fland-
ers Fields afar
see through hot and burning tears
A little bright gold star
And it doesn't seem to matter
About the lesser things
When | think of what they did for
US,
Y These heroes who were kings.
Oh, Spirit of the Doughboy"
FYou hope and solace bring
Taking away the anguish
That's made by deaths deep sting.
And tho in Flanders Fields there
sleeps
The only son l had
In spite of bitterness and pain
can not but be glad.
Glad for his life, his patriot sou
That saw where duty lay
That held the torch of courage high
Though steep and rough the way.
These are the things the statue
speaks
Shall not lift my head
And greet the spirit shining thru
lie lives-He is not dead.

BY judges of saddle horses this
mare is regarded as prof ably the
greatest saddler for woman's use in
the entire South, in fact there are
very few like her to be had anywhere
in the United States. Her color is a
deep bay. The price paid was $3.50,
but she is regarded by horse fanciers
to be worth at least $4,000, and under
normal condition in Kentucky doubt

Ansley has several other saddlers and

horsewoman and will doubtless derive
great deal of pleasure from own
ing this beautiful mare.

U. s. WELL EQUIPPED TO BUILD GREAT
 AIRSHIPS
Helium, Substitute For Fly drogen, An Exclusive American Product-New Fabric to Take Place of "Gold Beater's Skin.'

Washington, Nov 2s.-Inventions and assets which give the United States a tremendous advantage in the construction of Hghter-than-air craft, such as the ZR-1. now building. are being. rapidly developed by govern ment experts, it became known today.
 The United States already has in valuable assets in the event such a building program is ever required First, there is the helium plant, in the southwestern part of the coun- try, which can eventually develop enough of this new substitute for hy- drogen to float all the ships we can build for the air. Helium is an eX- elusive United States product and is as vapOr for imitation of the air ship, being both safer and lighter.
 In addition to heliun, American in ventors have just reported remarka ble progress in the development of a substitute for so-called tsgold4beat- ers sk1n,'' which is used for making the gas cells of airshfps GofdIbeat- ers' skin is made from certain parts of the COW, and in the case of the cows furnished the material for the gas cells A substitute for this ma terda1 would save the cows worry besides saving a lot of money and Ialbor,- being much cheaper and in some cases even superior to the orig 1nal articles.
 Progress is also being made on a cheaper dope (which is used on the exterior of airplanes and also in the development of waterproof glue
 All these inventions and resources are calculated to put the United States far in the lead should it evel become necessary.
