A sqadron mada ' up of American, French and Britia 1 flyer* will toar each of the three sec- 1 tions of the country, eastern, middle western, and western, and give de monstration of the flying art as de veloped over the battlefields of Eu rope. Necesity of aerial acrobatics and the long course of training a flyer has to go thropgh will be demonstra ted in aerial sham battles. The avia tors will show that a "stunt" will sometimes enable a flyer to escape ; an enemy's machine gun fire, and at the same time place himself in a posi tion to get a good ohst. Fourteen German planes, Foklcer type, which w erecaptured by Gen eral Pershing's men have been land ed at Newport News, Va., and will be shipped to Washingtonand turn ed ovr to the Treasury Department for theperiod of the Loan Campaign to be used in the flying exibition.

Four American planes will be do ing patrol work in formation, and come to the aid thetwo in distress, driving off the two German planes. : ition of aerial acrobatics. The stunts will includc the tail spin, the barrell roll, falling leaf, Immelman turn, side 1 slip and loop. The British Government has inform id the United States Government thai lix of the best British flyers deve loped during the war will be here in iime for the tours during the Vic Liberty Loan campaign. Eight French Flyers have already jjtit France for the United States. One of the French iviators has a record of forty-three victories over German adversaries. Another made one hundred and sev enty-nine bombing trips over Ger man lines. These men will be distri buted among the three flying circus es formed. The actual flights will be under the direction of the Military Aeronautics Branch of the War de partment with Captain Leon Rich ardson in charge. Photographers ofthe Signal Corps of the army will accompany each squadron on its tour. These men will take aerial photographs of all of the American cities visited; the plates will be dropped from the aeroplanes by parachute and hurried reproduc tions made for the benefit of the re sidents. It is planned to give demonstra tions in at least fifty American cit ies during the Victory Liberty Loan campaign. The eastern tour will be gin at Mineola, Long bland; the mid dlewestern tour will begin at New Orleans, and the western tour at San | Diego. Each squadron is to be car ried in a special train of eleven cars, traveling at night. Nine end-door bag gage cars will be required to carry the seventeen airplanes in each squad ron. An officer will precede each train to select landing fieds and to : arrange with local Victory Liberty I Loan committees for the entertain ment of the flyers. This exhibition will demonstrate to the American people the best types of aeroplanes developed during th war, and will show them what has been ac hieved as a result of their generous response to the Liberty Loan cam paigns. Put you rmoney where it will work for you and help the government. Buy War Savings Stamps. THE OPEN SESAME. Advertising, the "Open Sesame" to success, ia already ours. Through |, its part in the war America haa ac- j quired the ipecial good will of more , than half the civilized world. To , spread its commerce still further it is | necessary for the United States to , return to the pre-war basis. This can best be accomplised by paying all war obligations?the cost of victory?and 1 it is to settle these accounta that the ' Victory Liberty Loan ia to be offered ' next month. Commodities "made in America" haye been carried from warrm Pales tine and the Far East to the frozen fjords of the north countries. With * the penetration of our men into ports of the world that had only vaguely heard of American inventions and manufacturers has come the intro duction of sanitary devices, artificial ice, farm machinery and even the safety razor. Through the hot sands of Mesopo tamia the little automobile has tak en the route of the camel, and the thermos bottle displaces the hump. No more need the dark skinned Arab beauty pour oil over her hands for purposes of ablution?American made soap has proven itself a better and a more convenient cleanser. The Thra cian woman in her blue and white peasant's costume will be compelled to use the steambeds for wash tubs no longer?community laundry machines have made their appearance. In all things useful and time savin*; Yankee inventions have shown them selves efficient, and the day of effi ciency has arrived. A demand for all of these new utensils of life has been created. American manufact irers aie ready to fill it, and they will (o far afield with their product* when the big war bills are oaid and the wh?tit of peaceful commerce hum again. Don't hoard idle money. Put it to work. Money invested in War Sav ings Stamps pays big dividends. MERCHANTS ENCOURAGE WISE I SPENDING Dry goods merchants in every part ofthe country report radical changes in their customers' habits, due to war experience. People seek sound val ues in clothes; there is no disposi tion to be parsimonious, but women are judging garments by wearing quality. They no longer purchase ihort-life gowns or fabrics for the lake of showy appearance, it is ? clared. Thrift has brought In a new Fashion era?quist models which be in style several seasons instead of the one-season creation. Merchants are falling in this new tendency. They are cutting down wasteful methods in their stores, ac cording to the Dry Goods Economist, and eliminating superfluous, unwise credits, unprofitable deliveries and other haggy-go-lucky, hit or miss ex travagancies for which the public ultimately had to pay. One large dry goods house has found a "self-serve" department sue- I ceaaful in selling trarmnta. Certain I lina of atock can be aold on thia prin- | ciple, the coatomer examing goods without the auperviaion of a sales woman, and selecting by aize, price, quality and other factors, plainly marked. The pbulic ia honeat when it serves itself. That purchaaers are satisfied ia shown in the fact that J tewer goods sold in this way are re- 1 turned for exchange. Another intereating development \ reported by the Dry Goods Economist is the sale of materials for home sew. ing, a continuation of home indua try brought back by the war. The stores seeks to interest school girls in making their own dreaaea. Prizes are offered for well-made gapnents; sew ing instruction ia given in the store; g suggestions are made fo rthe pur chase of material; interest is arouaed by newspaper advertising. Money saved by thia sort of wise spending * can be safely invested in W. S .S. and 11 Thrift Stamps. < OFFICIAL TRADE MARK OF THE 1919 WAR SAVINGS STAMFS (Tie picture ot Benjamin Franmtn ?produced above appears on the NVsf tarings Stamps of the new serins.,* Owners of War Saving* Stamps lave a definite stake in the nation vhich make sfor practical, patriotic citizenship. Men Who Have Seen Service and Met Salvation Army Workers Under Fire to Assist in Coming Drive of S. A. "The average American doughboy, his mother, father, brother, sister, wife or sweetheart will always love the Salvation Army for they owe that wonderful organization a debt of gratitude. Americans will and must respect the principles and ideals of the organization that has stood the acid test without a murmur or com plaint from creed or color. The Sal vation Army has implanted such an influence in the hearts of the world through her fighting men?that the seeds it has sown -m No Man's Land and at the training camps, will spring up and bear fruits that will give the world the first real taste of a true democracy." In the above few words, Private FraiTk Ivey Goldsboro, of North Carolina, iama up what he has seen of the work of the Salvation Army abroad. Goldsboro who was a mem ber of Company K, One Hundred and Sixty Seventh Infantry, was sever ely wounded in the early battles of Soisaons. While he lay on his cot at Fort McPherson Hospital waiting for the time to heal the wounds inflict, ed by the Huns, he ia at his happiest period when he discusses the work of the Salvation Army both here and abroad. When he learned of the coming drive in May for additional funds for this (Treat cause, the wounded hero said, "I hope I am out by that time dan if I am not, there are thouaands who would go far and wide to tall the ieopla of thia country just what the S. A. stands for; what it did for its boys under shell fire; in the hospitals and in fact everywhere we went, the Salvation Army worker was bound to be thr. This is no advertising cam paign for all the boys will have to do is to tell the truth of this great work and the great American public will do the rest. America as a nation will go to the front for this great cause during the week of May 19 to 26. Now that the work of the Salvation Army abroa-i is decreasing, local and national res. ponsibilitiea multiply with time. **??? cope with the demand and to conti nue the great work, additional funds are required. These will be secured by popular subscription. The campaign will be designated | Home Service Fund. (t ? . * ? \ ? * ? ' ?
