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.

FRIDAY EVENING.
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.

vertisement
No sooner had we arrived at the
lines than we saw two of these big
planes just coming back.
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

P. & R. 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.
