Flying With Shaffer ■ NOTHING EXCITING LETERS FROM A DAUPHIN BOY TO HIS MOTHER Escadrille Spad 38, Secteur Postal 12, June 24, 1918. Dear Mother: Another bad day of wind and rain, but am I downhearted? Most decidedly no! for you know I have "une petite professeur" now (yes, '•professeur" 'is feminine), and am having no end of amusement show ing off my French and listening to my blue-eyed, dimpled professeur trying to pronounce "thirty, thirteen or any other English W< JT < * Y. r "thirteen" or any "r" in. But if I laugh at her vain efforts she cer tainly gets back at me with words containing "u" or oi. My efforts along that line are every bit as ludiscous ,and the whole family had no end of amusement to-day listening to me vainly trying to say "pline" and "au petite professeur, sav "Thursday." Golly!! It was not only funny but tempting as well, for the lisping way she said it gave one a wild desire to kiss her—maybe if mother hadn't been there I might have tried it. Sure, mother's on the, job all the time, for this is one of the nice girls. To-day she was darning socks with the aid of a potato, so I learned the verb "to darn avery close relation to dam. But she did not HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH know that, never having heard me talk to my motor. The other day 1 arrived just as the family were starting on a trip In the French Ford —a one-horse cart—and being duly Invited to go along ac cepted with pleasure. The pleasure didn't last long. There wasn't enough action, what with three' girls, and talking French at that, how was one lone man going to get a tvord in edgewise? besides we went so blow I wanted to get out and push. Dis covering that their journey might be of six hours' duration, and X might be wanted at the scadrille that after noon I dismounted at the escadrille. Later, having a new motor to try out, and remembering their route of travel and flying rather low, I follow ed along looking for a one-horse cart Of course, X didn't see it, but as I flew over little towns along the route I made little dives, jumps and steep turns. The next day when I showed up for my lesson (?) right away they wanted to know if I was the foolish one doing acrobatics so low. I admitted the lowness, but not the acrobatics for I had not done any. Anyway the "professeur" had seen that her pupil could at least fly easier than he could talk. Really, my knowledge of French is nearly as surprising to me as to her at times, because I have done little studying, merely picking up a word here, a phrase there and incidentally ac quiring some slang which "profes seur" scolds me most unmercifully for. It's most amusing to hear her speak quick aside to her mother, trusting to my lack of knowledge not to understand, and see her surprised expression when I do. The darning was nearly stopped on that account to-day when she was going to throw the potato at me. Nothing Exciting Now don't get excited Dad, for you have yet to see me get serious, so don't go making plans to receive the prodigal son and let out the fatted calf, for he is not oing to bring a "poailet" with him. And you know I have to learn French some way and I don't think you could suggest one more pleasant way. True, it's nearly "Fourth of July," but I have not suffered from the heat yet. Honestly, this country is as oad as California when the sun is not shining. One wants to dig up his flannels (red ones) and fur coat, for it sure is chilly. In the chilly weather reminds me of one of my comrades at Tours, who was such a cold-blooded dulter he slept with his cap on. Some go even further and say that all he ever took off when he went to bed was his necktie. I have not reached that stage as yet, but I tell you, if it don't warm up pretty soon, X sure will. That aviators are 'superstitious as a class, there is no doubt, for flies there a Frenchman who does not carry his particular "fetish" with him? I doubt it. As for these charms, they are as numerous and varied as the men themselves. To-day though, I saw one that sure surprised me. It was a large picture one meter square of the Virgin Mary, covering one side of the body of the plane, and in di rect contrast to this sacred emblem, on the opposite side was the escad rille emblem, consisting of a fero cious looking green alligator swim ming on a blackground. With hfs double rows of white teeth he pre sented such an odd contrast that one gazed in wonder and amazement at one who dared so much, as it seem ed as sacriligeous as carrying the "Ark of the Covenant" into battle. Ear Warmers Another Frenchman had a doll all dressed up in black velvet, trimmed with white, sitting on the body of his "Zing" just back of his head. The beauty of this "fetish" drew my at tention for it surely was "chic" look ing. Of course, every Frenchman has one of his lady's silk stockings to warm his ears and hold his hair in place when in the air. To see one without the protection would be orange and unlikely—possible but highly impossible. Sometimes one who is somewhat of a dude will have several different colors. And those colors! Gee! they would put Joseph's coat to shame!— No. I do not wear one, not having become that inti mately acquainted with any "mar rains" yet. Speaking about war paint, you should see some of these battle planes the way they are painted up. Why, their variety of coloring and ferocious/ aspect would make an Apache war chief green with envy. All types of animals are used, for ex ample, the alligator I told you about, but not satisfied with that, the pilots go further and paint the nose of their machines every conceivable color and pattern under the sun. I can well believe some of the de signs would pcare tffe Hun to death even If no bullet hit him. As for our escadrille, the dominating color is red—p)ain red, our commander's plane being entirely of that color, while the rest of the .plane's have their noses only a brilliant crimson. It's time for bed now, and I am both tired and sleepy, even though I have done nought but eat and read all day. WALTER.

Commenting on the steel trade of the last week the Iron Age of to-day says: "With more emphasis than ever the war industries board has put be fore the steel trade in the past week the imperative call for rails, plates and shell steel. New needs cabled from France have added to the gap between capacity and requirements, and the amount now wanted in the last four months of the year will bring the total for the second half up to 23,000,000 tons, as against an esti mate of 20,000,000 tons early in July and probable production of 17 to 18 millions for the six months. "Yet output does not increase, and eve'ry nerve must be strained to make up in September for the inroad made by an unusual number of hot and highly humid days in August. "A swelling of overseas demand, due to the aggressive activities of the Allied forces, has changed greatly the operating schedules of the mills. Urgen' calls have been received for rails, rolling stock and shell steel and temporarily some home needs, even cars for our own roads, may have to stand aside. "Coming immediately after a heavy distribution of 82 mm. shell bars, an emergency order for 140,000 tons more of this steel, with the same amount to go each month up to February; the allocation of 75,000 tons of rails for France, and the or ders now being distributed for 122,- 500 tons of plates and shapes for new construction in Japan for the Emer gency Fleet Corporation, have al ready made the expected larger pur chases of cars for France a matter of the farther future. Rush construc tion will be given 4,000 narrow guage cars for the army abroad, following the placing last week of the 20,000 additional 30-ton cars; and many more of these larger size cars are wanted. "Last year's heavy accumulations of export steel at Atlantic ports waiting for ship room were cut down 700,000 tons in the first seven months of this j-ear. Mills have been urged to build up stocks for France at seaboard against the railroad blockades of winter, but thus far have fallen steadily behind the ocean movement."

Official orders to enforce- the "work or fight" edict were received by the local police department last evening from United States Marshal Harvey T. Smith.
