Cart. Lobin loft the patrol then and I fell into his placo. Kcenc thon assumed leadership and Iieut. Ford took his placo. Then we headed for the lines the second time. I looked at my watch and found we had boon out an hour already. I concluded that to fly fifty kilometers, perhaps get into a fight and then fly back again could not be done on the supply of gasoline. So I left the patrol. The last I saw- of the two planes was when they vanished into a cloud, headed in the direction of the lines. All efforts to locate Lieut. Palmer and laeut. Ford failed until Xovember 26th Lieut. Ford returned. Ho had been a prisoner and had escaped. His story of tho rest the patrol was this. With Keene leading:, the two of them flew- up the Argonne. just in the clouds, and crossed the lines to the right of Grand Pre. Ho was a few kilometers within the German lines when his motor suddonly stopped, so he was forced t land. He just cleared some tfees along a road and crashed into a field on the other side. When he got out of his wreck the Germans were all around i:im. but something made him look up and he saw his companion plane side slipping -to the ground. It disappeared behind a forest but lie heard a crash. He was then taken to a Gorman headquarters in a near-by village He material money shop, by the best

inouired as to the fate of his comrade

and was told that he. had been shot through the head. The reason Lieut. Fords motor had stopped was that it had been shot from the machine guns on the ground. They had all turned on Keene after they bad brought Lieut. Ford dDwn. That was the last we could barn until January this year when Lieut. Farth of our squardon learned unofficially that the registration peoplo had located the grave of Lieut. Keene M. Palmer at Grand Pre at the north end of the Argonne Forest. All thi3 information I am able to give up is "unofficial" because when a pilot is missing for ten days he is automatically dropped from tho squadron's rolls and his case is handled from headquarters. That is why we of the squadron have not been able to obtain "official" information to give you. I realize your deep affection for Keene as he and I were very good friends. We met about a year ago at the aviation school at Issondun. He was a leader in our evening singing and story Uliing. Whenever I hear the "Dnrktown Strutters' Ball" I always think of Keene as that was bis favorite out there on the front. We had flown together on many patrols and I can say that Keene handled his ship with great skill. He got in a total of twenty-four hours Hying over the front. At the time of that fateful flight I feel that Keene was feeling well. He had been bavins some stomach trouble but as the patrol was purely voluntary and only four of the twenty-One pilots went, only those feeling just right volunteered. Lieut. John Kirkla-nd was Krone's best pal. I iio not know just where Johnnie is now but his home address is Saline. Kan. He attended to 'the parking of Krene'3 belongings and I shipped them to the central baggage depot in France for men missing in action, i. e.. Saint Nazarc. As I am to be discharged tomorrow my adtrrcss will be Berkeley, Calif. To you, Mrs. rainier, and to your family I extend my greatest sympathy in your loss of one of the finest boys I have hail the ple-sure of meeting in the service. I am proud of havinp flown w ith him who has made the supreme sacritice in our great cause. Sincerely. Livingston G. Irving, 1st Lieut. A. S.. U. S. A.

"What's wrong wld ye?" demanded Officer Coulihan. Lee repeated his former remarks, frantically waving a stick of chewing gum at the officer. "He's got his tutti-frutti all O. K." commented Coulihan. "I wonder what's the matter with him." In desperation a representative of the cum machine company was called and opened the machine. Among the hundreds of pennies nestleed a shiny $5 gold piece. Lee saw it first, annexed it, then in perfectly good Englishf thanked all concerned and went his way, chewing away on his gum.

Many telephone subscribers are careless in their treatment of the mouthpiece. It becomes chipped and cracked, and oftentimes it is broken off entirely. The mouthpiece serves to gather the sound waves of your voice, and .when speech is directed at aninstrument where the mouthpiece is damaged or gone, the voice carries very faintly to the other end of the line. Better satisfaction results if the mouthpiece is not abused. In case the mouthpiece is broken, call Local Repair Department, and a new one will be mailed.
