Peter C. Holmes, formerly man
ager of the drapery department at
the Thomas Kilpatrick store, n
training for the flying service'' at San
Antonio, Tex., writes an interesting
letter to Wa'.ter Oehrle, former mem
ber of The Bee family. The letter
follows:
"Army life is great, at least in this
branch of the service. I was for
tunate enough to be transferred from
the 105th squadron to the Fifth. "The
105th was a construction squadron
and the ritth is a flying squadron.
tney took sixteen noncommis
sioncd officers from the 105th com
pany, and, as I was a corporal, I got
my chance. The Fifth squadron is
the oldest lr the field. I am at pres
ent detailed to the-aeroplane supply
room, but not as corporal, for we
have to forfeit Our-titles when we
transfer, but I think I will benefit by
transferring.
Schedule for Day.
"Here is the schedule for the day,

divided into crew or squads of eight

Each crew has -its certain line of

about fancy stunts" Beachv wasn't in
it to what they do'out here. Loop-
the-loop' seems to 'be very ordinary
and a good many times at that.
"Here are some of the stunts they
pun ott. At a height general v from
10,000 to 15,000 feet in the air they
very otten go up out of sight, and
that is going some down here, for the
