'AngeJ Suggested, Kut Ooes Not
Suit Extracts From "Piano
News."
ii
Through the courtesy of Corporal
Cummings, of the local detachment
of the Military Police, .ve are able to
give our readers a few extracts from
"Plane News," a paper published by
the Air Service of the A. E. F. The
lead article in this issue concerns a
contest for a prize of one hundred
francs to be given the person who
suggests the best name for the air
men. The article says:
Who will name the boys of the Air
Service?
"Tanks" seems to be accepted as the
popular name for the American forces.
And jus( so is "Doughboy" the nick
name for the intantryinan, and "Red
necks" for the artillery.
Now how about a name for the air
men? Believing that there is need for such
a name in the air forces the Plane
News is launching a contest through
which it is hoped one will be obtained.
Hit him! the one who calls us
Angels. To our minds it is too sus
pestive of peace and at the wrong
time. And besides, even if we are ;i
graceful lot in our movements and
roam around In the air, supported by a
nice pair of white wings, we are too
much reminded by this name of the
pacifist.
More suggestions bring out such
names as Skylarks, Skypilots, Buzzards
or Air Cavaliers.
One hundred francs, cold paper, will
be paid the person inventing the best
name to answer the purpose. The
best ten names will be selected by
officer judges and published in Plane
News to be voted on by the men of the
Air Service, and in that way the name
receiving the most votes will be offi
cially acclaimed our nickname. You
see it will be a case of wishing the
name on ourselves.
The contest closed August 4th,
the issue of the paper we have having
been printed on July 6th.. It was
open to any officer, soldier, Y. M. C.
A. or Red Cross worker in Hie A. E.

Grern and lllack Hat Cords For Air
Service Enllnted Men.
Following close to the announcement
of a new insignia for the Air Service,
National Army, comes further an
nouncement that a green and black
hat cord has been selected for the
enlisted men.
The wing and propeller insignia to
be worn on the collars by oltkvrs and
enlisted men is to be cronse colored.
ParkuKra ' M Sent From Home.
Through misinformation, prubably
originated by the press, it was an
nounced some time ano that packages
can no longer lie sent from relatives
and friends to the American Suldiers
overseas, even with the written teijuest
of the company commanders..
This is not so, according to a'lvices
received from headquarters, wliicli says
that any soldier may send to the
States for needed articles as lung as
the return package bears the written
statement of his C. (). vouching for
his need of the articles.
The following is an editorial which
occupied the head of the editorial
column :
Ducking shells, bombs, rifle and
machine gun Are, and living in a trench
for loriR periods is not the safest, job
in the world. Heaving big guns and
shells about and "wrestling" artillery
horses is not the most pleasant. Uuild
ing trenches and railways under lite is
also rather trying at times.
Oflicers and men in the Air Service
should remember that they are not the
whole show and that there are other
hard things to do in this war lie-tides
flying and swinging "props."
We are all part of the army. Kagh
part must co-operate with the others
if the whole is to work effectively.
A strong pull together will do a lot
more than many separate pulls.
One man must give the word to
"Pull" if we are to get together. Per
fect discipline must be had if the
command is to be obeyed properly.
Discipline means taking pride in
rioimr whatever Job you may have in
a smart, prompt, military manner.
Little things like neatness, attention
to details, a proper bearing and a
snappy salute are the hall marks of
discinllne and the sign by which a lit
and "Heady" soldier is known.

Lay Off the "Ah, Out" Htuff 'Less
You Savy Lingo.
The following is given as a story
with a kick, a moral and a romance of
love and twenty-three-hour passes. By
Lynn.
Hack In the days of yore before
German subs and Hunism, with noth
ing to worry over except back board
bills and the next election of town
councilmen. so-called society of tlie
"four hundred" in the small precise
communities was a joke and just as
absurd as the cynic intimated when lie
watched the cows chase the Sundnv
school lawn party from the minister's
yard.
"Doing society" in France has 'em
all shoved off the map.
Take the case of Pvt. Percy Noodles.
He's hend-over-heels in love with a
petite mademoiselle who is loco with
affection herself. Webster's Interna
tional Dictionary has made their love
as binding os the signature of a pay
roll. Inculently, Percy has answered
"Ah, Oui" to so many things he didn't
understand, there's no telling what he
has promised everything from the
family cat to ma-ma.
That is only human nature. When
a beautiful young thing looks up in
your eyes appeaiingly, spells out a
bunch , of French with touching ex
pression, whether a bird understands
it all or not, it is more than right, as
a gentleman and a judge of egg
omeletts, to say "Ah, Oui" promptly:
Percy, poor old Percy, is up salt creek
without a paddle. The poor boob has
gone and got engaged. Yep, and the
old man is grasping the spirit of the
East ide Yiddish, following the law as
laid down in "Safety First." He's
writing American Headquarters to got
a line on Percy's spondoulax.
Percy isn't really to blame. The boy
got lonesome, found an Air Service
cook that could parley-voo French
lingo and met this charming madem
oiselle with the bewitching eyes. He
started hoofing it down to see' her two
or three nights a week, then four or
five and maintained his batting aver
age. Neither could speak the other lan
guage, with exception of a few words!
So she could kid him in French about
his pinch-back coat and the way he
parted his hair, and he in turn would
suggest she try Ivory or Sapollo on her
neck. Both enjoyed their own Joke and
the affection grew.
When ma-ma came In Percy would
pull this ah-donttcha-know-dainty-handshake
stuff and tell her how to
reduce by drinking buttermilk. And
ma-ma would flip him gently on the
cheek with her fan and tell him not to
get too fresh with her darling.
They, too, both thought they were
passing something by each other.
Jumping up to greet the old man,
Percy would sling out his hand, slap
the old boy on tne shoulder and say
"how are you, you old son-of-a-gun ?"
The obi man, in turn, would ask in
French, why the thunder he didn't
bring in some tobacco occasionally if
he intended to camp permanently on
his sofa.
So the plot thickened, everybody
kidded each other, and love grew by
leaps and bounds and twenty-three-hour
passes. Percy was ordered to the
front. At a general conference the
old folks decided It was time to take
action. They laid out a big spread
with plenty of chemical refreshments
and told Percy to get on the job.
Just as Percy laboted earnestly with
the drum stick of a turkey the old man
arose and, lifting his glass, poured out
tribute from the bosom of his heart.
Percy "Ah, Oui'd" to everything said.
Ma-ma could stand it no longer; she
kissed her darling on both cheeks and
the darling in turn became flustered
and kissed Percy, whereupon the old
man came and shook hands with the
darling hero of this narration.
The cake was cut and the diamond
ring pa-pa had given ma-ma thirty
years before was placed upon the hand
of the beautiful young creature.
Percy could see nothing to s'ty but
"Ah, O'ul" airaln, when they called for
a toast, so he quoted from the famous
kitchen sink scene of Shakespeare's
Manequln. "Hast 'I'hoj Seen ihe Fair
Ophelia Pass This Way "
The poor boy has gone to the front.
A letter lies before me on the desk
from Percy asking that t find out just
how and why. or If he is, obligated to
anv attachment in this neck of the
woods. "Kntherine will be heart
broken should she ever hear of it," (fe
continues.
Yea. verily, lay off the "Ah, Oui"
stuff unless you speak fluently.
The Alrmnn's Mghtimire.
I can see a white hot engine
Three inches from my ndse,
The petrol tank a blazing bell
Just underneath my toes.
The wires are snapping around my
head,
The rudder-bar has jammed,
Both wings are cracking horribly.
My eyes with oil are crammed.
My poor observer's fainted
And fallen through the plane,
I'm sorry, because I liked him.
Life's full of joy and pain.
Great scott! one wing has fallen off,
The other's badly gashed.
The earth's ten thousand feef below.
The elevator's smashed.
Revolution Indicators
Are tearing out my hair.
My goggles are waltzing 'round me
Humming the "Druid's Prayer."
The lubrication oil tank
Is forced between my teeth.
O why do the pistons chortle
Like asthmatical breath.
Four propeller blades are fighting
The bent induction pipe.
The inlet valves they swear aloud,
The fabric tastes unripe.
The stays are crooning plaintively
To soothe the petrol tap.
The engine Jumps Its bearers, Bursts,
And settles in my lap.
I'm falling faster and faster,
I do so want to yell,
But when I reach the earth again
Won't I have lots to toll?
A fearful crash! I've hit the ground.
I've' fallen out of bed!
Thank goodness I'm awake once more
Holding my throbbing head.
