'TWAS "CINCH," SAYS FLYER WHO DOWNSTEUTONS •Captain Peterson Watches Enemy Machines as They Plunge to Earth With the American Army in l'runce, May 17.—Captain David Peterson, of Honesdale, Pa., and [Captain Kenneth Marr, of California, 'the heroes in the aerial battle on W'ednesday, in which Captain Peter ison brought down two lierman .monoplanes and Captain Marr de- stroyed an enemy biplane in the 'l'oul sector, told their stories of the j buttle yesterday. "1 was flying near Thiaucourt at | an altitude of 5,000 meters," said Captain Peterson, "when 1 saw two j German albatross scouts going away at right angles in the distance. I ! ascended -00 meters higher, circled , and stopped my engine- and darted j after them. I finally got closer to j the last plane. At a distance of 100 yards I opened fire with incen diary bullets and the German ma chine almost immediately burst into flames and fell. "I continued straight on my course," he went on, "and within two minutes had the other enemy machine before me. He started a quick dive, but I am certain that j some of the bullets went honw, ] < ine of the wings of the machine crumpled up at the same moment, j As 1 circled about X saw one ma- j chine burning on the ground and the other, smoking in its downward ! plunge, crash to the earth. That is I all there is to it. It was a cinch." j Other Captain's Story Captain Marr was flying at an al- j titude of 2,000 meters when he saw ■ an enemy machine over the Ameri- | can lines. "As 1 sailed out I saw him far away, circling out from our line amid a cloud of puffballs from our 'Archies'," he said. "I circled out wider and finally passed the Ger man and turned again down our line between the enemy and the sun. Both of us had the sun at ouri backs. "As I opened up my motor and ! approached nearer," he said, "I saw! that I had a two-seater to deal ! with. 1 though that the German j might see me or hear my motor, sol 1 went a hundred meters lower, ' until right under the tail of his machine. Then I pointed the nose i of my airplane upward and went on i a level with the enemy and opened j tire t pointblank range. "The German never knew I was 1 there until incendiary bullets, alter nating with ordinary missiles, began pattering through his machine. "After twenty shots his machine toppled."

Bring Back Its j Natural Color, Gloss and . Attractiveness. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant Just a few applications will prove a I revelation if your hair Is fading i streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle ot i \X yeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old time recipe im proved by the addition of other in gredients. * While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a spongj or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another ap plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or preven : Uon of disease. —Adv.
