WOUNDED FORTRESS FLIES OFF TO DIE.

SEATTLE-This is the story of a Flying Fortress that-mortally wounded on it's 5Oth bombing mis- sion--went off to die by itself.
 Capt. Shelby Rem told the story in letter from Africa to his fath- er-in-law, William Whiteside, Se- attle.
 Tn all her 50 missions" he wrote, the B-17 never had an engine changed. However, in this raid she was so badly shot up that Major commanding officer of the feild, had the crew bail out over the ba Q.
 The Major headed the ship for a vacant spot, and then he too, dove out. The old plane just wouldn't die that easily. It pulled up, leveled off and buzzed a hos pital nearby. Then it pulled up again, leveled off and buzzed a field close by--and did the person. mel scatter.
 The fortress pulled up again and, after levelling off. headed in- to the desert where it finally went down."

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. Maj. Gen. Lewis Hershey. Director of Se- lectiye Service. told the House Milf tary Affairs Committee all draft boards have been telegraphed to use every possible means to defer the taking of prewar fathers so long as it is possible to get their quotas otherwise. 1f {a h
 Chairman May said after the clos ed committee session he is con- vinced that Hershey is going to do the best he can to carry out the intent of Congress- in passing the legislation just signed by President Roosevelt to halt the induction of prewar fathers.
 Gen. Hershey said he decided the first calls will go to fathers from ls to 2i when the draft boards are unable to meet the quotas from single men and non-fathers. Those up to 25 will be called second and those up to. 90 will probably be getting the next call.

TOO LATE

Pianos fast are coming back,
In what pretentious guise:
Too fit the room and furniture,
The case, reduced in size,
Is shaped much like writing
desk
From out the rosewood day,
Except for tone and action,
Improved in every way.
Against such hopeful enterprise
One feels constrained to say
1t all seems anti-climax, now
That people rarely play
And the once out-moded phono-
graph
In juke-box recrudesence
Now fills the inner need of an
Arrested adolescence.
