ke a good look at tese silhouet.

Take a good look at tese silhouet- tes.
 They show the .under-side, side and head-on views of a German Heinkel bomber, HE 111K. If you ever spot this plane-and you might, for it has a range of 2140 miles you can do service to your coun- try by reporting 1t at once. | How to recognize this bomber is explained in our Aircraft Spotters' Guide" on enemy and allied planes. Recognition points for aircraft are at wing, body (fuselage) and tail.
 Look at the wing-shape on the HE 111K. The leading edge (B in our sketch) is swept back and somewhat rounded. The fuselage (A) is cigar1saped. There is one fin (C) at tail.
 On our own Lockheed IA recon naissance bomber, known as the Hudson" in the R. A. F, the wings are clearly tapered, the fuselage is stubbier and there are TWO fins.
 Our special 100-page booklet, Aircraft Spotters' Guide" is avail able to Home Service readers for only 25c. It is being used by official spoilers, aviaion enthusiasts, flyers, Boy Scouts, others. Has photo graphs and three-view silhouettes of 90 Allied and Axis planes. Gives full descriptions, recognition points, information on each.
 Send 25c for your copy of Air craft Spotters Guide" to The Wa terbury Democrat, Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave, New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your name, address, and the name of booklet.

Tn those days, of course, the fights were phony and the combatants were likely to stop abruptly and har- monize chorus of their new song, once sufficient crowd had collect ed. Plugging or popularizing, they called 1t. Nowadays radio covers so wide a field 1t has superseded all other forms of plugging thus nudg- ing into limbo one of the most col- orful of our business practices.
 Abe Oman, one of the Alleys best known executives, sighed reminis- gently when he heard of the brawl.

 Reminds me of all the things we used to do," he said. Back in 1917 I was touring the country with Jack Robbins plugging Oh Johnny Oh which I had written. Jack would register and howl Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny for minutes. When enough heads were out of the windows I'd yell from another window Oh John- ny what?" And Jack would sing a chorus.
 Another song I had then was An Old Horse That Knows His Way Home, Jack dressed up in a farmer outfit, hired 8 dray and horses and drove up Randolph Street in Chi cago. He got arrested. Tn the last war we used to hire a truck, stick piano aboard and roll up and down Broadway singing through

.Y.M. .. \. DRIVE TO END FRIDAY
Final Report to Be Submit- ted at Meeting $I2,767
 Needed for Quota

The final report meeting of the YM.C.A. drive to raise $45, 900 will be held Friday night. To date $32,- 233 has been raised through 1925 pledges. Collections of $l2,340 from 965 persons were reported at last nights meeting.
 The required $12,767 needed to reach the goal was divided by Her. bert s. Smith, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A., as follows: Execu- tive committee, $3,781; industrial committee, SLABS; commercial committee, $1,540; industrial work CTS team representing 20 indus tries, $3,748; and 12 general teams, $2,20O.
 MT. Smith, in an appeal to all workers to do all possible to attain the goal, stressed the need of money for prisoners of war. Many Y.M.C.A. secretaries are serving with armies in distant lands, Mir Smith said, asking nothing for themselves, but are in need oi money to carry on their work.
 President Leon H. French presided at the meeting.

 Remember the six day bike rac- es?" put in Murray Mencher, an- other former plugger and now a well known composer. "They used to have a piano in the infield and pluggers would wander in and out singing their songs during lulls in the action"
 "Yes," nodded Harry Penney, 6 music publisher, land I remember that when we were plugging Irving Berlin,s I'm On My Way to Mex ico' we wore khaki uniforms. For By the Sea- we wore sailor suits. For the latter song once hired @ canoe and a lkulele player and pad- dled along the Atlantic City board- walk singing through a megaphone. :"
