Had my first try at shooting op stuff
on the ground yesterday. We went
ever about S:S0 p. m. with orders to
hoot up lhe roads, trenches, etc. The
clouds were at about 1.000 meters, so
we flew just under them.
When we get over the city that we
were told to go to we began to look
slarp. A few kilometers the other
n3e of the ity the leader ducked his
nose, flipped up his tail, and began to
let fly. 1 aw bim go down, and so
followed, of course. Then for the first
titre I saw the bcohes hadn't seen a
named thing before that on the
ground, I mean. Of course, as there
was a heavy bombardment going on.
e could see the flash and smoke of
the guns and also the luminous bullets
they i-hot st us with the machine guns.
T'e wtre so low the cannon
lArdries) couldn't shoot at us, but ths
lw'trailloufos made up for their fre.
and then some. When I "followed th
i'Sdor" 1, of course, saw what be was
niter a hat t cry all bunched up in a
nice cluster, waiting to go into action,
I guess. We sure let them have it.
1 v,ao shooting my new gun the
one with the incendiary bullets that I
dtsorilwd to you in my last two letters
ind 1 cruld see each one hit. After
we cot. down pretty rear we tipped
our busses np arain, flying like drun
Ion jarlcsnipc to dodge the bullets they
plumped it us. Then we went back
and did it again.
This time I went down so close I
could e the white dabs of lhe faces
looking up at me and also saw one of
Ti'-y fhots plop square into one of the
torses. Ke promptly went down and
ticlred up quite a mess. I hadn't time
fo see more, though, as I was going
some place else in a hurry. Both my
Euiib were jammed (one never fired a
foot), fo 1 went up into the clouds and
managed to get the other going.
Then 1 shot a hit on a convoy on the
road nnd in seme trenches. Gun jam
fcwi aptin, so 1 tried the same stunt
b(if0I'e- Couldn't make it, and so
decided to find the others and go home.
As 1 was excited and a bit scared, I
took the wrong direction and found
myself finally about seven kilometers
wck of the hoche lines and with two
" their pknes coming in my direction,
'beat it, you bet. Went up into the
c'ud8 and came home in them by
ui:pass-just popped out once in a
Jfle to look at the ground and see

LL SORTS OF AFFLUENCE
Qrat Mittak to Cct the Idea That
Wealth Constats Only In Posse
sion of Money.
Klchea and money have been com
oily but mistakenly synonyms. A
mother with group of children may
consider, these her Jewels, albeit by a
bank examiner's rating she would be
poorer than Job's turkey, A man with
bouses and lands may be destitute lo
hnimtn affections eddying round hU
chnlr and tnble, and so In life's para
mount values the balancing of the Ac
count shows a deficit, though under
the dollar sign he may be able to fig
ure u Tortune.
Rach soul selects the sort of afflu
ence It prefers, observes a writer In
the rhlludelphla LvU"er. You taay
choose that you will gain the whole
world, no matter what becomes of the
iplrit Years after It will be a end
thing to see the gross materialist you
have become. You may be sated with
the pleasures of the senses, but you
have missed the best things life has
to offer. You may be the chief target
for the Income tax collector, but the
children of the region do not love you.
The man or woman Is rich who has
acquired sound, reasoned, lasting
friendships, true through thick or thin.
Any other sort of prosperity Is much
affected by fair weather or foul. When
mere money has taken wing out of the
window the attaches of the heydey
of sunny prosperity nbruptly decamp,
even as rats flee from sinking ves
sel. But the assets of character that
link those we love to us endurlngly,
with the grappling books of steel, arc
proof against corrosion or burglary
and will stand any strain that Is put
on them. Who dares to call me poor
if I can keep the unbrok-n circle, on
earth or In Heaven, that love has once
established?
What a fallacy to define riches as
anything sensual! For all that Is of
the flesh fleshy and of the earth earthy
must one day perish like weeds that
are slnln by the reaper in the hot sun.
Only love and truth and beauty and
their divine fellowships are Immortal,
and only these arc worth the husban
dry of the undying soul.
He who has bis fortune in these
commodities is entitled to be called
rich. Time and change and adver
sity have no power upon them. They
are the only things a man can take
with him when he goes. In the process
of acquiring them they become part
of him inseparably. He who has them
wonrs his commendation in his face,"
for it may be rend as he passes that
bis converse is with the higher and
finer things, and his daily walk is on
the plnne where the noblest meet and
greet familiarly.
QUERY COLUMN
Q. 1 What Is th time of enlist
ment In the S. A. T. C? How long
are we In for?
A. 1 The S. A. T. C. is a designated
unit of the national army. There Is
no distinction as to service or cor
responding rank. The term of enlist
ment, like all other branches of the
army, Is for the period of the war.
Q. 2. Will an enlisted man in the
S. A. T. C. bo given the time and the
place necessary to get the university
suhjects for which he Is registered?
Or, win the military work supercede
and crush everything else?
A. 2 Your object in Joining the S.
A. T. C. is Impliedly to be of the
greatest service to your country. If
It is found of greater advantage to put
you to military training chiefly that
H undoubtedly what will happen to you
There Isn't much so tar to be "crush

Is going to "crush" the military pro

study hours and facilities.
Q. 3. What will become of the man
who does not apply for O. T. C. but

tary record and if your course is such
as to warrant a continuation of it the
military authorities here will provide

are specializing in some technical
branch.

Styleplus have always been
made on the thrift plan for men
who know style and their money's
worth.
By concentrating on a few
grades of clothing and manufac
turing them in big volume, we
avoid wastage and produce an ex
ceptional value at each price.
This Styleplus Idea means:
correct style, models design
ed by experts.
good materials and work
