ALLIED AIRMEN

Aviators Swoop Over Enemy Battery and Silence Guns 629 Tons Dropped. (By Associated Press) WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, September 12. Amazing feats by British airman during the recent fighting may now be mentioned. After driving down In flames one of two enemy two Beaters, a British scout had engine failure, which compelled him to spin down. As the machine touched the ground, a German fired his pistol at the pilot from flften yards, puncturing the gasoline tank. At that moment the engine picked up sufficiently to carry the pilot to the rear of the British lies, where he was forced to come down again. Being under a heavy fire, he removed the gunlocks and sights and all his Instruments before abandoning his machine, which could not be saved. A pilot and observer, returning In their machine from a bombing raid, fell behind their formation because of engine trouble and were attacked by Pokkers. The elevator controls were immediately shot away and the observer was badly wounded. But he continued to fight and shot down one Fokker in flames and saw another crash out of control. By this time all the Kasoline tanks

had been shot through and the enit, i . , . .i, .I j

ii 1 1 in several places. au me iustrtiments on the dashboard were smashed by enemy bullets. Both rear guns were Jammed and the observer was bleeding badly. The pilot sueceedd In getting his machine Into a dive and went through a cloud and reached the British lines. The gallant observer was found to have been wounded ten times during the fighting Attacked by a squadron of enemy

airplanes a lone British scout spun downward, but on the way saw that only one of the enemy was following him. So be came sudenly out of the spin Just above a grove of trees and caught the enemy machine crossing in front of him and shot It to the earth where it burst into flames. All Gunners Killed. There are many stories .too of how There are many stories, too, of how British airmen swooped back and forth over the German batteries playing their guns on the enemy until these guns were completely silenced. One report winds up by saying that a scout machine later crossed a battery position several times, but was not fired on, all the gunners apparently having been killed. Such tactics as these aided materially in making the recent British victories possible. One British scout sailed over an enemy sausage, dived and finished off two German sentry planes, then fired on the sausage, which was being hauled down and finally dropped two bombs squarely on the winch used in raising and lowerlng the balloon. There were many Instances where the observer crawled out on the wings and stopped bullet boles in the gas

tanks with his fingers, a handkerchisf or a glove. One machine had its starboard top and bottom planes broken by anti-aircraft fire. The observer leaned over the side of th fusilage, holding a machine gun in his hands and thus maintained the balance and enabled the airplane to land safely, although the controls except the elevator were useless. Another machine had its ?as tanks punctured by a bullet and the pilot was wounded in the leg. The fusilage burst into flames but the observer kept the fire under control from a great altitude with a small extinguisher until the machine was brought to earth, where It blazed up, the observer rescuing the wounded pilot Just in time to save his life. There is an increasing number of cases in which British pilots have attacked enemy night bombers caught In searchlight beams. In every case reorted the enemy has been shot down. During one fight well inside the German lines, the pilot was wounded badly but the observer from the rear seat leaned over and with his right hand helped to bring the machine safely back while with his left he fired occasional bursts from his machine gun at the pursuing enemy planes. Many times the wings of German planes have broken oft in the air during a fight. Indicating the faulty material which the Germans now are forced to use in the construction of their machines. , PARIS, Sept. 12. During the month of August. French bombardment airplanes dropped more than 629 tons of projectiles, according to a statement issued today to the war office. The statement says: "In the course of August our bombardment airplanes in daylight flights dropped more than 269 tons of projectiles on objectives on the battlefield between the Somme and the Alsne. In night attacks our bombing airplanes dropped 360 tons of projectiles on railway stations and enemy roads of communication. "In the same month 280 enemy machines were downed, or seen falling out of control, and 66 enemy balloons were set afire."

Red Cross Notes

Posters are being prepared by the Red Cross telling how to send money and articles to American prisoners in German or Austrian camps. These posters will be displayed as soon as possible. Privates who have been captured may be sent from $5 to $15, and officers may be sent from $5 to $50. through the Red Cross. Not more than one package may be sent to any one prisoner, according to the Lake Division News of the Red Cross, and letters or packages to the prisoners should be sent to the prisoners direct, instead of to the Red Cross. A complete list of the articles which may be sent will be published on the poster. Almost fifty women were in the Red Cross rooms Tuesday evening, working on surgical dressings. The rooms are almost deserted, however, until late in the morning, and much valuable time is lost each day. More workers are urged to come, and more cutters are especially needed since the gaze is used up so rapidly in making the smay compresses.

Tells How to Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick and Lustrous. Thousands of men and women are growing bald every day and don't know the reason why. This is indeed a pity, because baldness usually comes from carelessness, and anyone who gives the hair Just a little atention should always have an abundance of good, healthy hair. Dandruff and dirt cause baldness by clogging the pores in the scalp, and giving the dandruff germs fertile ground for prolific breeding. The treatment Is very simple: remove the dirt by shampooing at least once in ten days and destroy the dandruff germs by frequently applying a little of the genuine Parisian Sage, a most efficient anticeptic liquid that the best druggists everywhere are now recommending as one of the quickest and safest treatments to surely stop itching scalp and falling hair, remove all dandruff and to properly nourish and invigorate the hair roots Parisian Sage Is in great demand by discriminating women because it is delicately perfumed, does not color or streak the hair and gives a softness and luster that fascinates and compels admiration. Agenerous bottle costs but little from Quigley's drug stores, who guarantees it to you. (Adv.)
