= DI -. NAhD, IN.
BOSTON, May 26.-It has remained
for Boston to furnish one OF the
most dramatic incidents in the entire
triumphal tour Of the crew Of the
transatlantic airplane Bremen-the
meeting Of two men whose first ac-
Quaintance was made over the sights
Of machine guns, above the trenches
in France.
Captain Hermann Koehl, co-pilot Of
the Bremen, again has greeted Cap
tain Robert +. Raymond Of the air
service, officers reserve corps. Unit
cd States army, but how differently
than before.
Almost exactly ten years ago the
men met in n bitter air battle, which
resulted in defeat and imprisonment
for both. But at their Boston meet
ing they grinned. shook hands. and
Captain Raymond pinned an Ameri-
can Legion medal on his late adver-
sary.
How II All Occurred
In the fighting around Chateau
merry ana tue lOul CtNNoEs zap
tain Koehl was on the other side Of
the lines, attached to a bombing
squadron. The flying circus TO which
Koehl was attached regularly. flew
over the American lines, dropping
death-dealing bombs.
Captain Raymond's outfit was in
structed to destroy the German
bombers. Accordingly, the American
flyers lay in wait till the bombing
convoy was seen heading for the
American lines. Then the United
States flyers took off with a rush. In
q few minutes the battle was on.
The ground troops forgot their
troubles watching the bitter struggle
overhead, which resolved itself into
a regular "dog fight" Raymond and
Kochl were in the thick Of II. and
both met disaster. Koehl crashed
down behind the American lines. and
Raymond went down out of control
behind the German lines.
Similar Experiences
The flyers were picked out Of their
machines. and after being patched
up. were sent 10 prison camps. Neither
remained imprisoned long. Each es-
capped and made his way to Switzer-
land, and not long after that they
we're back in the thick Of the fight
ing.
The two men had a long chat after
their first meeting, reminiseing about
the war and the changes brought by
peace. Koehl observed that Ray
mond wore the Distinguished Service
Cross, and congratulated him.
well" said Captain Koehl. when
they were about to separate. II don't
know whether I'm a better aviator
than you are, but ! do know one
thing. I'm a better eseaper. I stayed
in prison six days, and you stayed
seven. so I have you by one day"
And Raymond had TO admit defeat
at last, after ten long years.

make another comparison. It IL frequently said that
women in employment who are working only temper

Of success on the farm undoubtedly n to regard farm
ing as a permanent business.
Diversification in production Is no new thing. IN
older times farmers ~practiced it out Of necessity. Fifty
years ago most farmers raised on their places the bulk
Of their necessities Of life. They produced their meat,
their poultry, their eggs, their butter. their milk, their

The tendency Of the farmers in North Texas to get
away from the ore-crop system and to priduce what
they consume is the pathway to prosperity and finan-
cial independence for those that follow the policy. The
farmer who doesn't have to buy much need not be
greatly concerned about the prices of things in the
markets. And by diversifying he makes it possible to
exercise better control o-er production, avoiding sur
plus, and thus putting himself into a position to have
something to say about what his products shall sell for.

Will H. Donaldson, GRANVILLE, Illinois. comments on
my recent remarks about New York towers in high
winds. He says ne and his wife and daughter spent a
very windy day, about 1904. watching a yacht race re-
port in a window at Twenty-third street and Broadway.
Shortly after the race was finished and the crowd dis
persed. a stone was ~dislodged from the coping Of the
building and fell twenty stories. into Fifth avenue.
Of such escapes we hear little, but they do happen.
Whenever anything or anybody falls or jumps from a
high building, numerous persons have narrow escapes,
even though somebody is killed. / know q man who
has been four times near a spot where heavy objects
have fallen from tall buildings. He wonders when it's
going to happen again.

doctrinaire about this business Of growing hair, but
that I tried going bareheaded for three years. and liked
it. My hair grew and flourished, whether because Of
the bareheadedness or from some other cause, but my
reputation for sanity and soberness suffered.
Perhaps the bareheaded fad has spread sufficiently
by this time 50 that one may indulge it. even in small
towns, without injury to reputation ! do not know.
But when ! lived in q small town and went bareheaded,
all my pearls Of wisdom were trampled into the dust
by the people. who said, "oh. that fellowl He runs
around the streets bareheaded! You can't pay any at

And they meant it. As a matter Of fact, I never ran
around nor upon the streets. ! am no runner. Running
has not agreed with me for twenty years. But that
was the way the townsmen put it. HE runs around
bareheaded." They simply could not visualize a bare
headed fellow walking sanely from place to place. Co
ing bareheaded was such a crazy freak that whose in
dulged it must of necessity be mad enough to run when
others walked or drove their cars.
