His job was to visit stores in small towns taking orders for stogies and Horseshoe chewing tobacco, Toward the end of the winter of 1913 a firm specializing in building submarines hired him. He remained there un- til he enlisted in the air service in 1917.

As a matter of fact, when hé arrived the flower of American youth was being rushed, through Issoudon at such speed that many had the final touches put on their flying careers. It was a com mon thing to return to the mess at noon, after an hour or so of “stunt- and see a vacant chair across table. “Where's Jim?"

He collided with another plane in air out at the combat field.” y evening Leslie Arnold would hear military bands going by.

For a month he went around France like Leigh Wade, picking up planes and fer- rying them back to the central de- fot at Romorantan.

Military police guarded all the ayve- nues of exit. But “Les” outwitted them by hiring an automobile, pick- ing up a husky German and putting him at the wheel while he and his observer crouched in the rear. Once past the police, they would dump the German out and proceed with their lark. Later, in returning to the Amert- can area, they would fill the car full of girls, again crouch out of sight, tell the girlg to smile and wave to the police In order to. dis- tract them while the car passed. Upon his return to America he was ordered to do exhibition flying at country fair in the middie west and south. The purpose was to stimulate interest in aviation. He would go from one fair to another, and soon got acquainted with all the snake charmers, slight of hand performers, dogfaced boys, and other side shows that followed the same ininerary that he did. ,It was at Dresden, Tenn,, that r i one of the narrowest escapes of his flying career. The fleld was too short and much too muddy for safety. But the local comniittee begged him not to disappoint the crowds, and he gave in against his better judgment. Att nd of the field were some tal trees and a cliff 200 feet high A esult of the mud on the field uldnt get up enough speed in “taking off to enable him to turn berore reuching the cliff, The lane stalled, and in order to keep from crashing into the trees Arnold shoved his control stick forwayd and nosedived 200 feat of the main into the roof of one buildings on the of the prize poultry. The roof gave way gently and broke the shock, but the nose of the plane went right on through until it rested on the floor on the second story, right in the midst of the prize poultry of the country. ‘The roosters and hens set up a wild cackling and squawking. Arnold unwrapped a few boards from around his neck and climbed out unhurt. In fact, the only per: son Injured was a woman in a building across the street who was so frightened that she fell out cf a first stony window. Arnold wired for another plane and next day went right on with his. exhibitions.” In February, the proying ground Md., to test bombs, fuses, bullets, and machine guns. It was hazard- ous work, and several of his assoct- ates wete blown up. On one occa- sion a fifty pound bomb aceldentally dropped off a plane just as it was “taking off.” In swinging around the tall hit it. The bomb exploded, demolishing the plane, killing two occupants as well as several others who were standing nearby. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the air. service, stirred up considerable excitement in the sum- mer of 1922 when he appeared in the role of a prophet before n con- gressional committee and told them that airplanes could sink battle- ships. Much doubt was expressed, so the air service arranged a joint maneuver with the navy near New- port’ News, Anold, Wade Nelson, and a num- ber of other army dViators took up five planes and in short order dis- patched a destroyer, a submarine, a cruiser, and a battleship. The latter was a modern, heayily armored Ger- man battleship, the Osterfriesland. \ 1920, hé was sent to at Aberdeen, Flyers receiving San Francisco's check for $7,425, presented by Mayor Rolph, who complimented “Les” ninety miles off the coast and the planes were all land machines, with wheels instead of pontoons. Instead of dropping bombs direct- ly on the battleship Arnold and his colleagues put them in the water right alongside, believing that they could wreck thé more vulnerable part of the ship below the water line. Airplanes Can Destroy Battleships. The bombs were made of T. N. T. and weighed 2,000 pounds each, Five of them dropped near the bat- tleship and she keeled over and dis- appeared under the waves In twen- ty-seven minutes, proving that a comparatively inexpensive fleet of airplanes could sink a fleet of battle- sHips worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the course of a few hours. Lieut. Arnold spent a number of months ferrying big Martin bomb- ers from Cleveland and Dayton to Bolling field; Washington. One day in Dayton just as he was about to “take off’ from McCook field he saw a civilian coming across the field dressed in a spic and span new flying suit and carrying two big suitcases, “I thought to myself," said Arn- old, “that this royal tourist had surely made a mistake and confused me and my Martin bomber with one Will Take Off All Excess Fat Do you know that there is a simple, effective remedy for over. fatness, one that may be used sat ly and secretly by any man or ¥ man who is losing the slenderness of youth?

HOw about it?” “And that was my first introduc- tion,” laughed Arnold, “to one of the finest fellows that ever walked this earth, a man with whom I was la- ter to fly around it, and a man now known to everybody in America— but especially to the fairer sex—as ‘Smiling Jack’ Harding.” (Note — Tomorrow will tell all about ‘s installment Riding a gicder is not a job for a mervous man.
