Jloorhead Co. Has New Rate For Beginners Eight Uollurs a week is the new low rate any girl may receive at the Moorlicad Knitting Company. This rate recently established as the mini mum applies to those who go to learn how to do any of the different kinds of work in this establishment. In days of old when a beginner went to learn any kind of a "trade or busi ness it was necessary to pay for that privilege. This was particularly so in England and other foreign countries, and the thought now of being paid for learning should be most attractive to ay one looking for pleasant lucrative employment. The plant of the Moorhead Knitting Mills is a delightful place, is clean, airy, bright, comfortable and sanitary to the highest degree. At the noon hour coffee is served without charge to all employes in the big recreation room. The recre ation hour may be spent listening to a good vocal or instrumental eon cert, seeing a high-grade moving picture or listening to a good lecture or talk. Dances and entertainments are given for the employes in the evenings throughout the year. Then too, if one is inclined to save money the Moorhead Company will pay 6 per cent, cmpound interest on sav ings, which amounts to 6 5 . per cent. A well-stocked library is at the disposal of all employes. umbrellas are on hand for the sudden shower. A physician is on hand daily for the service of all employes and a den tist and chiropodist are provided by the companv for consultation ajid advice. George W. Deiker, superin tendent, takes a special interest in the welfare of all employes. Then] best of all is cheerful little Miss; Edith Randolph West, the hostess who is in charge of employment and welfare work. Miss West makes it her business to have things as pleas ant as possible-for all employes and aims to place every one who applies at ease and conscientiously strives to place every applicant in a position best for the applicant as well as for the company.

Flying With Shaffer A WILD RIDE LETTERS FROM A DAUPHIN COUNTY BOY TO HIS MOTHER 1 Escadrille Spad 38, Secteur Postal 112. G. C., 22. Sept. 3, 1918. | Dead Mother: * Yesterday was sure some busy day in the aviation line, it being the first clear day for two weeks. No turally both the Boche nnd French were out in force. Never did I see a sky so blue, more the visibility so good. Not a shadow of a cloud was in the sky and /when one climbed into this azure sea aboard his war steed he sure had some view. Never in all my flying experience have I been able to see so far. Flying over Soisson I could see Rhelms as plain as if it were right beside me, and if you will look at the map you will see that is quite a <nsta,.c About 10 a. m. all of us were or dered into the air to protect three big photo planes. That, however, we did not understand thoroughly at the time. We were to be led by an officer who simply told ys to follow him. Nothing else was vouchsafed us. This particular ot ficer Is much disliked in the esca drille because of his officious man ner. He never misses a chance to use his authority, and often times abuses it. Only the day before he had balled us all out to a far-u-well for not keeping in close formation while attacking a patrol of Boche, and particularly he laid stress on the fact that we did not follow him close enough. If you will remember in a for mer letter I spoke about It; that particular scrap in which several of us got mixed up with another escadrille of Spads, and did not find our leader until sometime after wards. So this time when he sim ply told us to follow him we made up our minds to obey him to the letter of the law. Therefore, as soon as we got off the "piste" we got in close formation behind him and proceeded to obey orders. Start For Home We had just arrived at the lines when he swung around and headed for home. Remembering our previ ous balling out we promptly follow ed and on the way we passed three big photo planes, which afterwards we learned were depending on us for protection. However, we did not know this, and since our leader still kept his altitude and flew as fast as us, we had no way of knowing his motor way working badly. So each little bird in tiis alloted place, we toddlecj along behind. He certainly could not kick at the way we fol lowed because we followed him right down to the ground and land ed with him. Man! but wasn't that Frenchman sore when on demanding why we landed with him we innocently re plied we were ordered to do so. I sure thought he would explode! He was so doggone mad he couldn't talk, which is going some for a Frenchman. And then we were told what had been expected of us, and the situation did not seem as big a joke as we seemed to think. True, we had put one over on the much disliked officer, but the joke might come pretty high, fofr those three big planes we had passed were ex pecting us to protect them. Now that we knew, that put a different fact on the matter, and seemed like ly to be serious, as those three planes had undoubtedly continued on their mission unprotected. Go Up Again So we were hastily given direc tions as to where we might find them and sent up again. We had already been In the air nearly an hour, and since these "chasse" planes cannot carry enough gasoline to fly very long we could not have very long to slay the second time and the offi cer had been so angry that we had been sent aloft the second time with out having our tanks refilled. I was well aware as I left the ground that I would probably run out of "gas" out there on the lines some where, and if I got back at all it would be more than likely a glide into the "piste" with a "dead stick." Not that I would come down in Germany of course, because we al ways fly rather high and no mat ter what may happen to one's mo tor, he can at least glide into his own lines., But I have had some experience in that line and it is not to my liking there are too doggone many shell holes in this country. Batching L'p Our Job Anyway, orders were to get out there on the lines and patch up an already badly fizzled protection job.

And incidentally at about the .same time we saw seven Fokkers right over us, who promptly come diving down and opened fire, but they opened fire at such long range and we swerved so quickly that no balls took effect. A second time we circled over to their side of the fence and a second time several ambitious Huns started down on us. At least we distracted their atten tion from the big planes underneath us. • The second time the Huns came after us my engine gave a few warn ing coughs, and with a slowing up of the propeller, threatened to die right there. Out of "Gas" The expected had happened. I was out of "gas" 6,000 meters up and eighty miles from the home roose. One look at my air pressure dial proved the lack of gas, as it was slowly falling and no amount of pumping with the hand pump helped any. Seeing which I lost no time in switching onto my second tank, for use especially on such occasions. It only holds enough for a ten minute flight and if one don't find a landing place by that time he sure is out of luck for I have yet to hear of the law of gravity being broken. I've tried it myself several times by endeavoring to stretch out a glide and likely to break my fool neck. When the gas is all, the propeller stops and then one either comes down in control or in a heap. I preferred coming down under con trol and knowing 1 could not make home in my alloted ten minutes I headed for a big uvlation field about fifteen miles back of the lines. By using my height and running my motor at its lowest speed I got fif teen minutes out of that tank and made the camp I was headed for. Lucky Boy As luck would have it, this camp was the same one from which the photo planes came that we were to have protected. A Frenchman had also run out of gas and landed with me. Naturally, when we told what escadrille we were from they want ed to know all about the why and wherefore, and since the French man could speak the language 1 let him explain away the rnlxup as best he could. From the conversation I soon learned that one of the planes had been attacked and forced to land in Germany. And still the French man kept making excuses as to why we were not there. Golly! One would think he would shut up after that, but no, he kept right on drop ping French all over the lot. As for me I felt disgraced and kept quiet. But there is always a bright side to every gloomy view and soon it showed up in the shape of Amer icans. There seemed to be quite a few about and truck loads were continually passing. One of these trucks stopped while its occupants climbed down to look at our birds. You never saw a bunch of men so interested—or so ignorant about the uses of the different parts of my plane. One soldier wanted to know how the engine was cranked and be fore I could answer "by spinning the propeller," a soldier nearby exclaim ed knowingly, "Why, you it with, the rudder, you poor fish— and you want to watch out, she gives a h of a kick sometimes." And then those two guns shoot inig through the propeller without hitting it. That sure seemed a mira cle and I don't wonder, for it still does to me. We had dinner at an other escadrille and then came back to the field to wait for our mechanics because on examination there seem ed to be other things the matter be sides lack of gas. Pretty soon along comes three girls, one having a camera, who looked interestingly at the numer ous planes standing around, and then, girl-like, not satisfied with looking, they had to climb aboard one Zung and examine the interior decorations. Such curiosity could only be pos sessed by an American girl, so I in ; vestigated, and sure enough they were Americans from a hospital camp nearby. The usual questions were asked as to how long I had been over here and when I answered "about a year," the (prettiest one opened her big blue • yes to their widest extent and exclaimed: "Oh, I didn't know aviators lasted that long." Cheerful, wasn't it? Pictures Arc Taken And then she insisted on taking my picture, and wouldn't I speak a good word to the Frenchmen as she was crazy to take a ride in an air plane. It's forbidden, you know, for a French pilot v to take a wo man for an airplane ride, and I hear it is also forbidden in the American Army. You can see the wisdom of the law surely, for otherwise a pilot would get nothing else done. Just let it be known that an air plane ride is the reward of friend ship and one sure would get a host of friends. I explained this sex dif ficulty to the blue eyed one and sug gested that she might dress as a man. She took me up "toute-de suit§," too, and my one regret is that I had to leave that day, so could not see the transformation. However, I'll sure try and make that hospital If I ever get wounded. While we were standing there talk ing the Boche staged a show along the spectacular line for our benefit, using French material as scenery. This was no other than a balloon attack. There were three of these French balloons in a line and the whole three were attacked at. the same time, only one burning, how ever and that being directly in front of us. But although we could see numerous shrapnel breaking around the attacked balloons we could not see the Boche. • It was some five miles away, you know, but we could see the bal loon very plainly as it sank, burn ing, slowly to the ground. We could also see the observer floating down in his parachute fend followed him AVith our eyes as he made a soft landing. An Interesting Day Truly, I was spending an inter esting day and I was wondering whether "anything more would hap pen before I got to my own camp. The girls had to go then, and since my engine was ready I thought I might as well go too, as now that the show was over and the girls were leaving there was nothing left of Interest. By the time I got my motor run ning and climbed aboard the girls were half a mile down the road, but that was a small matter to my fleet Spad, and I was soon hovering over •them. Making a quick turn 1 came headfirst toward them, only mak ing some two miles a minute, and arriving at some twenty feet above them, stood up on one wing and waved. They forgot to.be afraid I might run them down then and waved back. That tickled me so much I came tearing around again and dove down even closer, but they never budged. If there had not HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH!" been some telegraph wires there I sure would have scattered those "chickens." However, I think that will Im press me on their minds, so they won't forget to send me the pic ture. It's you that wants the pic ture, you know, and since I have no camera and could not buy* films If I had, I get them where I can. Was flying this afternoon at 6,500 meters and have a headachb, so Au Revoir, WALTER.

SETS PACE IN LIBERTY LOAN THE Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company freight sta tion employes In Harrlsburg have set a fine example for others In the purchaao of Liberty Bonds. The men of the freight office, the warehouse and the Allison Hill station have not only regis tered 100 per <%nt. as bond pur chasers but they did what all others must do If the city is to subscribe its quota. They bought more bonds of the Fourth Loan than they did of the First, Second and Third Liberty Loans all combined. "Great work," said Andrew S. Patterson, when he heard the news. "These men have realised their obligation. If every other set of men In Harrisburg does half as well there will be no doubt about going over the top. But what'we all must get through our heads is this—■' "We must buy more bonds. One SSO bond won't do. We must buy bonds—not a bond." - "There Is Joy in Good Health, Since Taking Tonall," Says Parmer Miller. "I suffered from loss of appetite and was extremely nervous," says lia S. Miller, a well-known farmer living near Delta, York County, Pa. "I needed a medicine and as I heard the neighbors speak so highly of Tonall, I began using it. My ap petite improved at once, and I got back my ambition to work again. "There is Joy in having good health, and since taking Tonall I have it. Tonall certainly did me much good." This testimonial was given Au gust 11, 1918. Tonall is sold at Gorgas' Drug Store. Harrlsburg, and Mr.rtz, at Steelton.
