SOMETHING NEW: Chicks On ae eis FLYING ARTILLERY Wide World Features FORT STILL, Okla., Nov. 2.— Picked artillerymen at Fort Sill are learning to fly so that their mates on the ground—the men behind the guns—can know if they’re hitting what they’re shooting at. But don’t get these particular air birds wrong. They are still artillerymen and they don’t want} anybody to forget it—they’re equally adept at doctoring an} ailing engine or at setting the range for howitzers. They even have made up a song. Its tune is the “Caisson Song,” still beloved by a force that no longer uses caissons, and it informs the world that “Into action we will go, Flying too damn low and slow, We're the eyes of the artillery.’ The flying artilleryman’s job is to observe the fire of the ground batteries and then by ra- dio inform the gun crews how close they are coming to the tar- get. Observers did the same sort of! thing in captive balloons in the| first World War, but now artil-| lery moves too fast and balloons! would be easy prey for enemy aircraft. So officers of the field artil-| lery school here decided many} months ago that the answer lay! in small observation planes flown | by men who also know all about} firing an artillery piece. The planes are called “grass- hoppers.” They are small and} light, also slow. Roughness of! terrain means little. The planes can be landed hurriedly in a pair} wheel tracks or in a plowed field. | They may be dismantled quickly and transported elsewhere aboard small trucks. “Look and run,” the pilot-ob- servers are warned. Their job is not to fight but to climb up to 400 or 600 feet, well behind their own lines, and spot the arillery bursts. If they see an enemy plane coming, their orders are to turn tail and dive for cover, like a fox before the hounds, | that perspiration may relieve his [2 process until spring, I see where we are gonna have’ more people to tell us how the war is coming along.

BAND REHEARSAL TONIGHT All musicians interested in be- coming members of the Key West Community Band are requested to attend the first rehearsal this evening, beginning at 8:00 o’clock in the Lions Clubhouse on Sem- inary street. A permanent organization with the necessary officers to serve for the ensuing year will also be elected at the meeting this eve- ning and the necessary details set up.

They sure fill ’em out too. Since they've “gone into defense work there’s been two easualties—bridge _ parties and gossip. I noticed how quick the radio announcers caught on to the new trend of things. Nowadays they ask: “Ladies, do you have blow- torch hands?” Looking at these women work- ers, you wonder how they ever acted so blamed coy and helpless back in courting days. The way they put in their time now, I bet a lot of husbands are kicking themselves for pot getting more work out of ’em be- fore. When their wives start housekeeping again, I hope their biscuits ain’t riveted. But joshing aside, I’m _ real proud of these women folks. They're just as nice to look at in work clothes as in their party dresses. I never knew a wom- an could look so good in one of them welder’s helmets. It’s a big improvement over what they’ve been wearing for hats. LOOK WHAT YOU EAT: THERMS! By H. W. BLAKESLEE Wide World Features NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—If the | people of New York state had to depend for all their food on their own state they would get only about one-third of what they need to eat. This calculation comes from the New York State Dietetic Associa- tion and is figured in therms, which are food units adopted by |the National Research Council. A therm.is a unit of energy. The number of therms New York- ers need in one year is 12,837,- 000,000. The state, says a report by Dr. Sydney A. Adsell of Cornell Uni- versity, produces a total of only 4,343,000,000 therms. About half of this food energy is in milk. The state produces for its resi- dents only about half the proteins they need, about two-thirds of the phosphorus. But near all the calcium they require could be had éven if no food was imported. In vitamins the state gives its residents about half of the A needed; half of the B; more than enough C and nearly all the re- quired riboflavin, or B. New York cabbages and potatoes pro- vide the vitamin C. For the other three vitamins, milk in each case produces about half the state’s to- tal. SIGNED PAPERS FOR. YOUTH ‘3-WARS-AGO’ {Special to The Citizen) ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2— Mothers worrying about signing papers to permit their 18-19 year old sons to join the army, should take a look at Mr. and Mfs. Charles Myers, of Rochester, New York, who celebrated their 63rd wedding aniversary in October. Three-wars-ago they - signed papers so that their youngest son, who was under age, could satisfy his ambition to join the army. Since then, they have not only seen him through the Mexican Border fighting of 1914, and World War I, into World War II, but they have seen him rise from enlisted rank to a full Colonel. This youthful enlistee of 1914 is Colonel Herbert A. Myers, head of the entire Military Personnel Branch of the Fourth Service Command. | Judges Now Sentence | Bad Dogs To The Army | (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—The old ; habit of judges suspending sen- jtence on young men guilty of slight crimes if they enlist in the | Army ‘is now being applied to | dogs. { ‘The City Board of Health has j Tuled that if a dog bites a total | of three persons, it will either be |put to death or sent to the Army, | which needs dogs for local de- | fense, field messenger work and other services. | | | Where Can I Buy | A Good Cook Book? | PAUL SMITH, Bookseller | 334 Simonton Street WHERE! essceseoee Takes More Than Million To Make A Millionaire (By Asociated Press) ZURICH, Switzerland Nov. 2.

Holland,” it is possible to correct a situation which might develop from a change in the fed- eral laws adversely affecting Florida’s in- terests.” The governor also urged the electorate to favorably consider Amendment No. 3, which would place preservation of fresh water fish and game under constituticnal authority (rather than legislative) to remove this important ac- tivity from politics. MUST CONSERVE GAME “Under the amendment,” said Gov. Holland, “the commission would function very much as now provided under statute; however ¢ would have the authority to establish unif state-wide closed seasons on fresh water fish game. F “Without a proper authority to control this, state-wide in application and removed from political influence, it will be impossible to con- serve this valuable resource.” VI APMAMAAAPFEAAAADELLS (LL AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAA Ad
