Through tprcul urtniemenl with Womta t Home Companion ) If you have not had it happen already, perhaps some day you will be standing on your front porch with telegram in your hand. As the messenger goes down the steps you will break the seal and read: "Selected for pilot training so keep em flying. Jack." Pilot training? Flying? Why did the army air forces select your son? Will he succeed? A host of thoughts race through your mind and perhaps with them is some anxiety. The anxiety you may feel is largely groundless. You may judge for yourself as I tell you about the things being done in the army air forces to keep your son safe. But I am not seeking merely to reassure you. I want to make it possible for you to help Jack enormously, whether he is a bombardier, pilot, navigator, aerial gunner or a member of the ground crews. Above all, your son Jack doesn't in the least feel that he is being picked on. He is proud and wants you to share his pride. Bfore he could send you that telegram he had to pass more physical, mental and aptitude tests than most mothers even dreamed existed. Superior Young Man. As a consequence the army believes that your son's chances of flying through this war and of com ing home to tell about it, are tops. The army, in fact, has taken infinite pains to establish something that you, as his mother, have known from the beginning: Jack is a superior young man. He and his classmates in our aviation personnel training program are the best flier material in the world. And ninety-fiv- e of every hundred of them are going through their long and arduous flight training program without so much as a sprained ankle or a barked shin. Moreover, the flight control command of the army air forces is working day and night to guard your son's safety. The command is headed by an officer who is a "bug" on safety Col. Sam Harris, who was for ten years a test pilot at Wright Field. Our military aircraft have been built to be the safest in the world. I have refused to consider planes that might gain a few hundred feet of altitude or a little extra speed at a sacrifice of safety. Our principle is: Maximum protection for the air crews. Combat Safety I Goal. Combat safety is our ultimate goal; to attain it is not only a problem of the technical and tactical training your son receives but also a matter of attitudes. Here are some ways in which you can help: 1. Keep your balance. Don't project your son Jack and yourself into every newspaper account of an accident. You have read again and again of highway wrecks without rushing to put your automobile into dead storage. 2. Help Jack keep faith in his equipment. No inferior airplane can possibly be adopted by the army air forces; too much depends on the plane. If you hear anything different, challenge the person who makes the statement. 3. Avoid asking Jack to describe any "flying feats" he has performed. Spectacular feats have no place in routine training. 4. If family problems arise at home, keep your son's mind clear of them. He is absorbed in the biggest job of his life. ' Anything that tends to interfere with concentration on his task now will vitally affect his welfare in the near future. 5. Your son in the army air forces isone of the pivotal figures of this war. In him is concentrated responsibility not only for his own safety and the safety of his crew but also for a piece of equipment that represents the labor of thousands. His is the responsibility for, the failure or success of missions on which the lives of other thousands may de- A pend. Help him to carry those fc-- 7 T . , by lit i hmm 1763 Neat Design.

Andy would invariably take the nickel. One day a visitor from other parts said to him: "Say, Andy, don't you know the difference between a nickel and a dim?"

For years before this war, the annual use was 250 pounds in the United States, 120 pounds in England, 85 in Germany and 20 in Combustion Low Various surveys show that combustion efficiency in the use of much coal is too low, and that effective effort would reduce the use of 300 million tons of coal per year 10 to 15 per cent. Drafts should be adjusted properly for efficient combustion, and the piping should be free from any leaks. Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1763-is designed for sizes 32, 34, 36, 38. 40, 42, 44 and 46.

The first thing they learn is to consider each piece not for what it is but for what it may be. The buffet shown here was picked up. The sketch shows how the main part of the buffet was remodeled to make a chest under a window in a combination sewing and guest room. A wood chisel is useful for removing carving that is glued on and either putty or plastic wood may be used for filling screw holes and other holes. If the piece is varnished, it is best to rub if down pitcher, catcher and three basemenand the "ball" is a three-inc- h metal ring strung on a waist-hig- h cable running from the catcher's box almost to second base, according to Collier'. When the batter strikes the pitcher ring, the basemen, standing in line behind the pitcher, try to grab and shoot it back to the catcher. For instance, if the ring passes the first baseman and the second baseman catches it and returns it to the plate before the runner e hit is reaches second, a made.
