10 Flying With Shaffer IN ANOTHER SCRAP tETEKS FROM A DAUPHIN BOY TO HIS MOTHER EscadrlUe Spad 38, Secteur Postal 12, June 26, 1918. Dear Mother: While waiting for a new motor, I am flying with my roommate's plane, he being sick. After several tries. I discovered the whims of the motor and then she ran great. This morning we were yanked out at" 5 o'clock, only to find after climbing over the clouds that it was too bad weather to fly. Therefore, our lead er dives for home "tout de suite." Thinking he only had a hunt motor, I chased around the piste hunting the substitute, but as fact as I caught a plane he went down and landed, so. having chased them all down. I landed myself and learned the rea son. This evening, though, the weather cleared up considerably and six of us were sent up. It was indeed, a wonderful sight as we flew above the clouds, with enly a few holes here and here, and remiaded one of one enormous lake with big patches of ice floating around. You understand, the holes represented the water, and. it being twilight, a sort of bluish haze cov-j ered the ground, carrying out the, affect of water. Sight Hun Pianos We had no more than reached the lines when four planes were sighted In one of these holes. Down went the leader .the rest of us after him. wires singing with the speed we were acquiring, with finger on trigger, merely waiting to see if the insignia on the wings was an iron cross be fore opening fire. Getting down closer, we saw* the red, white and blue circles of the French and. therefore, pulled up. but immediately afterwards the leader wiggled his wings again (signal that a Hun is seen), and, looking around, I soon saw five Huns somewhat lower than us and just over the lines. There was no doubt about it this time, for one could tell by the shape of the planes they were Huns. Hav ing seen the Albatross several times, one never mistakes it again, for it has very distinctive charactyistics and with its swept-back wings and stream-lined body is, indeed, a beau tiful bird. There was also a small triplane, Fokker, and, having heard considerable of this new type of Ger man plane. I regarded it with inter est. Meanwhile we were getting closer and soon were in position to dive to the attack. Takes Vertical Dive The Huns saw us coming and be gan mHling around in a -circle like a bunch of cattle, only they did not do any stampeding, even when the three of us—l don't know where the rest were—came tearing down at terrific speed, spitting lead as we came. I forgot all about strains and stresses and once dove vertically with full motor, a most 'dangerous pro- Hair Removed 2)e3lUraefe Tbfi method for removing sn pe.fluoui hilr is totally different from all other* becauae It attacks hair under the wxln an well a* ou the skin* It doea this by absorp tion.

The "Zing" being new to me. I was having my own trouble, too, for the sight was punk, having o rekt for one's foehead while aiming, and both guns jammed on the first dive. I fixed one while climbing up and dove again and that one Jammed. Then I got them both fixed and tried my luck again, but one trigger was so awful hard to pull that both hands were necessary to start things pop ! Ping. Since one aims his guns by aiming his plane and the controls are very sensitive, .this trying to pull a trig ger with both hands was not help ing my aim any. I finally gave up trying to make' that gun work and used the other gun until the shells were all. Still all five Huns were floating around below and, although I had shot several hundred shots, some indeed coming close, it was quite apparent no damage had been done. , Heads For Hun That was the time I dove straight down on a Hun and vainly endeav i ored to make the remaining gun work. True, I did get several shots out of it and they came mighty I ciose to that Hun, too, for he sure ] made some quick turn. I was near- j ly on top of him then and the gun; jamming again, or. rather all the, strength in my two hands used up in : holding down the trigger, I stood on j my tall to climb out of danger. j This time she was jarpmed beyond , i repair, but, nevertheless. I dove, j down to the attack once more with I I my leader, giving him my moral sup- 1 port, anyway. The Huns didn't | know differently atyi. seeing three I j planes attacking would seem more • j formidable than two.. Fight I.'or Half Hour | We must have been fighting forj [ half an hour before our lgader called j it a draw and started for home. Dur | ing that time I had fired some 500 j I cartridges and sprayed them over| every Boche in turn in the bunch \ ! except the triplane, for you want to i remember that the Hun planes were , continually circling and when div ing to the attack it is always policy : to pick the highest man: othefwise. ! when you get down close to your Hun. another would be above you and then it would be your turn to j dodge bullets. That was the reason I never shot I 1 at the little triplane. for he was al- j I ways somewhat lower than the rpst. j ' looking very much like a little wasp i I among his Albatross brethren with ; tfceir wide, back-swept wings, as he ' circled, dove and stood on his tail to shoot at us. There was also one of j the Hun planes painted a brilliant j red. which is in sharp contrast to j the usual run of "Albatrosses." they : generally being a mud-colored gray, I offset only by the enormous black I cross on the top wing, and brought jto rrtlnd the famous escadrille of ; Rlchthofen's circus of red birds. Whoever he was, I dove on him | twice and if I did no more damage | he at least had a few souvenir holes lin his wings. Taking it all in all, ! I had some exciting time and my | only regret is that there were none j tumbled. j 230 Miles an Hour on Dives And say, Dad, you needn't kid me i about wasting 500 bullets, either! 1 i certainly would like to see you hit i a Hun plane doing a cross between ! a jig and a tango by pointing a ! plane going somewhere around 230 miles an hour. Believe me, oge ac ! quires that much speed diving. This morning (yes, it's the 2 7th) we were out again at 4 a. m., but we had the sky all to ourselves, and no wonder, for the haze was so thick one could hardly keep his direction, as at 5,000 meters the ground was a > hazy blur. The compass came in ; handy then, and, after climbing | abbve a bank of clouds .the sun 1 came out and that helped some more. ißut as far as finding Huns was con cerned, the patrol was a failure, because there were not any. "Archie." though, was not to be ! caught napping and opened up on : us promptly as we reached the lines. ; Being at 5.000 meters then, our leader decided he wanted to be low er and came sliding down in a num ber of Ss so sharp and sudden it taxed my ability to keep after him and keep from running into the oth ers following. All this time "Archies" was barking away quite freely and j every now and then one would break | high overhead with a loud bang and ; a cloud of black smoke. Don't Mind "Archie'' Flying in a Spad, though, one is •blissfully ignorant of how close "Archie" does really come some times, as It is very hard for the pilot to see just below him; in fact, one has to stand upon one wing to do so. Dangerous? Oh, not at all! With a good motor, one don't slip at all; and. if so, what's the odds, with several miles of space beneath? Golly! This arising—from bed to air—at 4 a. m. sure does knock ofle's sleeping hours, for I have been yawning and gaping around all day, even though 1 went promptly back to bed after the patrol. The second instalment did not go so well on hc count of the strong black coffee I had drunk before flying, *which started a dream about a fight in the air where my motor was on the ! "fritz," two Fritzies on my tail and I both my guns jammed—a most her : rible dream and quite enough to make me tumble off the cot and make a bad landing. At 5 this evening I am scheduled to go out again and I have no doubt but we shall meet those five Huns again, for they have been noticed at that particular part of the lines for several days. This time I have two guns which are working and a mo tor so strong that both hands are re quired on the "joy stick" to hold It down. Yes, it's a different machine from the one I was in the fight with, for mine will not be ready un til to-morrow. Officer Imitates Girl To show you on how equal a foot ing offices and men are In French aviation camps, the other night our commander dressed up as a girl, put on a wig and called at all the rooms to see how many he would fool. He made a nifty-looking maiden, even if somewhat husky around the shoulders, and caused no end of amusement by his assumed ways, playing his role so well that one pilot wanted to kiss him —and did. Which same brought a roar from the crowd, for as soon as he had sprung the joke in one room its occupants immediately followed to see its effect on the next victim, and It was Indeed amusing to see the astonished visage of* suddenly awakened mechanic as he stared at the feminine vision bending over aim wanting to know in honeyed accents if he was lonesome. Some of them never d}d get over the belief that it was a dream and they were in their dear Paris with their favorite "marrain," solicitous for their every whim. And yet, with all this tomfoolery, the officers are respected and discipline prevails as rigidly as in any army. WALTER.

The presentation was a complete surprise not only to "Dick" but to the entire troop as well. A short address was made by the scoutmaster about how one of our scouts had rendered service, not to himself, not to the troop, but for Uncle Sam, thereby trying to do his share to win the war. Scout Harr was called upon to come forward to face the troop. The scoutmaster pinning the button upon his shirt, each scout saluted Dick in turn and extended best wishes to him for suc cess on. his journey in endeavoring to stfive fop an "ace" medal. The ice cream festival held last Thursday evening. August 22, was n huge success, and we are glad to i report to our friends who aided us that our troop treasury was in creased by a very substantial sum. Another surprise handed out to the troop was the renovation of the scout rooms, new carpet having been laid, "pennants and pictures placed on the walls, and new stand , ards for th? American and troop flags. We are endeavoring to put our rooms in tiptop shape for the winter season, and we take great pleasure as well as this means of extending an invitation to other ! troops in the city to come and in | spect our rooms. October 22 is the night of our . big feed. We are considering mak " ing it a "father and mother" night. It is our aim to make this event the most interesting affair ever held by an individual troop in Harrisburg. A bicycle squad has been formed, represented by sixteen members. Scout Haehnlen was elected captain and Scouts Wallis and Wortz were appointed lieutenants. 'lt is the purpose of the squad to be prepared to render their services through Big Chief Virgin at a moment's notice. The services of this squad are also at tho disposal of the scoutmaster. We ara going for a hike Monday, so members of Troop S meet at the scout rooms Monday morning at 6 i o'clock. Bring along a good dispo sition and a husky smile as well as eats. Don't forget the time.
