next so one always gets different
weather conditions to fight, and a
night's rest in between. On tho
alternate half day wo get practical
Instruction in designing and setting
up ships, "trouble shooting" on
motors and range work with Lewis
machine guns. It is all very interest
ing, especially for men who wish
more individual work and whose
efforts will surely be recognized.
That is Indeed saying a good deal
fo a branch of any military service.
The government spends about $15,-
000 on every man they send across
the German lines that goes to show
what excellent training one gets.
As to flying anyone can if they
can pass the physical examination
and have the nerve. I can safely
say it is the most fascinating of all
sports and cannot be fully appre
ciated until one has had some time
in the air. It is not uncommon to
see as many as 20 ships in the air at
one time on this field. Over to the
north one can see a couple of bal
loons most of the time. John Me
Gurk, a Delta Tau Delta is over
there, he is the first Nebraska man
1 met while here.
Hoping this bit of information will
help some pick the branch of service
that means more to the individual
and more to the cause than any
other, and liking to see the Nebraska
men get the best, I am,
Very truly yours,

NEWS FROM CAiVJP
Lieut. R. L. Copsey with the Fly
ing Squadron No. 1 at Kelly Field
No. 2, writes a very interesting let
ter to The Nebrasknn in which ho
gives some of his experiences and
also gives a bit of advice to the
men enlisting.
Lieutenant Copsey characterizes
the work as the best that the service
has to offer fb the man with the
nerve and ability to do strenuous
work. Flying, he says, is one of tho
most fascinating experiences of a
man's life. Nebraska so far ranks
low in its proportionate representa
tion in this branch a fact which
Copsey calls attention to in the let
ter and urges that the men hero
should take the opportunity to join.
The letter follows:
Kelly Field No. 2, Dec. 13, 1917.
Editor Daily Nebraskan,
Lincoln, Nebr.
Dear Sir:
Receive your paper about three
times a week, sure enjoy it oven
though it tells of old Nebraska's de
feats In football occasionally, and of
quarantine for smallpox and such.
It keeps that old spirit alive In
knowing that the school is still go
ing full blast.
Have come in contact with a large
number of cadets in this branch of
service and find Nebraska one of the
last states according to the number
of representatives found. It must be
hecause the men there don't realize
the advantages of this branch or else
they have entered it and been trans
ferred to some other part of the
state.
Assuming that they don't realize
its opportunities I am Mg a
chance at this opportunity to tell
them from the inside what there is
to It.
After finishing what is known as
tho Ground School, a course of 8
weeks, covering 36 subjects, equiva

his first plght he feels all the work
he has done has been worth whilo

excellent food and equipment make
t all the more worth while.

OUR LETTER FROM FRANCE
The alumni office has received a
very interesting letter from Captain
L. E. Hohl, law '02, who is with the
American army in France. Captain
Hohl says:
"The alumni edition of the alumni
Journal reached mo today and I thank
you. very much for it. I enjoyed read
ing it very much as I found out who
are in the 'big show' and shall look
for them when they arrive.
"I came over here with Pershing's
first expedition and have already met
some U. of N. men. In fact one of
them (Mettlen) is in my company and
is certainly coming to the front. You
sent me a splendid representative
when you sent him. I hopo all U. of
N. men will make the same impression
on their respective organization com
manders. Several times ho and I
gave the Varsity yell out here in the
fields and our French instructors
would stop work and listen In nwo
and amazement.
"Again thanking you for my copy,
I am,
"Very truly, and with tho best to
the bunch at home,

Income Tax Collections
Omaha, Nebr., Dec. 24, 1917.
It will require a small army of men
to take the income tax returns of per
sons subject to tho now law.
Collector of Internal Revenue, Geo.
L. Loomis, today announced that 24
officers will start from his headquar
ters on January 1st and on January
2nd every one of them will bo on the
job in the county assigned him, to
meet the people and help them make
out their income tax returns. The
officer assigned to this county is due
to arrive here on January 2nd and to
remain until March. 1st, both dates in
clusive. Ho will have his office in
211-213-215 Federal Bldg., in Lincoln,
where ho may be found every day of
tho dates stated.
"It will be well for every unmarried
person whoso net income for 1917 is
$1,000 or over, and every married per
son living with wife or husband whoso
net income for 1917 is $2,000 or over,
to call on the income tax man and
learn whether or not they have any
tax to pay," Collector Loomi3 said
today. "Tho person subject to tax
who doesn't mako return in tho time
prescribed is going to regret it. Tho
Government will get after all income
tax slackers.
"There's hardly a business man,
merchant or professional man who
won't have to mako return of income.
Farmers, as a class, will have to pay
the tax. Tho safe thing to do is for
every person who had a total Income
of $1,000 or $2,000, as the case may he,
and who is not sure about what de
ductions the law allows, to play safe
by calling on the incomo tax man.
"The man in the field will have
forms for everybody and persons who
expect to call on him need not trans
late themselves to writo to my office
for forms." ,
GEO. L. LOOMIS, Collector. ,

THE languorous charm of the
Hawaiian native instruments so
moving in appeal, so observably
in vogue is strikingly characteristic
of the Ukulele. Its tone possesses that
curiously beautiful timbre, that exotic
charm of tonal quality which has
made these instruments so sensation
ally popular.
The Ukulele has a pleasing grace of
form. The finer models are made
of genuine Hawaiian Koa wood. It
is much in request today among the
smarter college and other musical
organizations.
It is easy to learn. Its price includes an
Instruction Book.
Hawaiian Steel Guitar
Every chord struck upon this typically rep
jesentative Hawaiian instrument is marked
by a weird, plaintive harmony and strangely
beautiful qualities of tone. It brings, to any
music, qualities full of vivid color and va
ried charm.
