SAFE WHILE 'FLYING
INJURED AT REST,
- v
When the Engine Stalls on
Dead Man's Curve!
THEY climb aboard their lorded
truck at sundown, fifteen miles
behind the lines. Thay rumbla
through the winding streets, cut on the
v.'hite road that leads to Germany!
The man at the wheel used to be a
broker in Philadelphia. Beside him sits
an accountant from Chicago. A news
paper man from the Pacific Coast is
the third. Now they all wear the uni
form of one of these organizations.
The road sweeps round a village and
on a tree is nailed a sign: "Attention!
L'Ennemi Vous Voitl The Enemy
Sees You!"
They glance far up ahead and there,
suspended in the evening light, they see
a Hun balloon.
"Say, we can see him plain tonight I "
murmurs the accountant from Chicago.
"And don't forget," replies the Phila-c-'-hia
broker, "that he can see us just
c- plain."
The packing cases creak and groan,
ths truck p'.odson straight toward that
hinging menace.
They reach another village where
l:2aps of stone stand under crumpled
. Then up they go, through the strange
si'erice brcV.en only when a great pro
jectile inscribes its arc of sound far
overhead.
They reach a turn. They take it.
They face a heavy incline. For half
a mile it stretches and they know the
Germans have the range of every inch
of it. The mountain over there is where
the big Boches' guns are fired. This
iiicline is their target.
The three men on the truck bring up
their gas masks to the alert, settle their
ftf helmets closer on their heads.
At first the camion holds its speed.
Then it slackens off. The driver grabs
his gear-shift, kicks out his clutch. The
entire heaves and heaves and stalls!
'Quick! Spin it!" calls the driver.
The California journalist has jumped.
He tags at the big crank.
VVh-r-r-r-r-r-r-room ! "
The shell breaks fifty yards behind,
.rother digs a hole beside the road
psl on ahead.
And then the engine comes to life.
It crunches, groans and answers.
Clowly, with maddening lack of haste,
it rumbles on.
"Wh-r-r-oom!" That one was close
behind., The fragments of the shell are
rattling on the truck.
Now shells are falling, further back
along the road. And the driver feels
the summit as his wheels begin to pick
up speed.
Straight down a village street in
which the buildings are only skeletons
of buildings. He wheels into the court
yard of a great shell-torn chateau,
"Well, you made it again I see!" says
a smiling face under a tin hat a face
that used to look out over a congrega
tion in Rochester.
"Yep!" says the driver glancing at
his watch. "And we came up Dead
Man's Curve in less than three minutes
including one stall!"
Later that night two American boys,
fresh from the trenches bordering that
shattered town, stumble up the stairs
of the chateau, into a sandbagged room
where the Rochester minister has his
canteen.
"Get any supplies tonight?" they ask.
"You bet I did I " is the answer, "What
will you have?"
"What's those? Canned peaches?
Gimme some. Package of American
cigarettes let's see an' a cake of
chocolate an' some of them cookies!"
"Gosh!" says the other youngster
when his wants are filled. " What would
we do without you?"
You hear that up and down the front,
a dozen times a night "What would
we do without them?"
Men and women in these organiza
tions are risking their lives tonight to
carry up supplies to the soldiers. Trucks
and camionettes are creeping up as close
as any transportation is permitted.
From there these people are carrying
up to the gun-nests, through woods,
across open fields, into the trenches;
The boys are being served wherever
they go. Things to eat, things to read,
things to smoke, are being carried up
everywhere along the line.
With new troops pouring into France,
new supplies must be sent, more men
and women by the hundreds must be
enlisted. They are ready to give every
thing. Will you give your dollars to
help them help our men?

Kegurding Christmas Packages.
In a letter from Division Head
quarters the following information
was received in regard to Christmas
parcels.
"All the Red Cross mombers will
be delighted to know that definite
provision has at last been made for
caring for soldiers who have no
I'rienda or relatives to whom Christ
mas Parcel Labels can be sent. An
army order Issued overseas directs
ksuch soldisrs to mail their Christmas
I parcel labels to . the America:! Rod
Cross at Washington, D. C. As
I rapidly as these labels are received
at National Headquarters they will
, be sent to the Division officers arid
; from there distributed among the
Chapters, giving each, as nearly a"
; possible, its approximate share. It
would of course be fine if every
; Chapter could receive the Christmas
Parcel Labels of the boys without
rcla ives and friends who have gon?
into the servico from its Chapter
jurisdiction. Owing to the short
time remaining, this is Impossible,
as National Headquarters must, send
the first labels received to the West
ern Divisions, Under this arrange
ment, we shall be certain that labels
received from Western boys without
friends or relatives will be taken
:are cf by Eastern DlvUIcns, even If
they arrive on the very last date of
mailing."
It must be observed that the name
of the sender must be placed ou all
Christmas parcels going overseas".
Saturday, and thereafter as
.J-.eduled, there will be a Red Cross
.-erccentatlve at Thomsons, Hughes,
Miners and Plielp's to distribute
cartons to those piesen'ing labels.
Upon return of carton properly
filled and inspected, it will be
weighed by the Red Cress, postage
