AIR PROGRAM 18 TWO
MONTHS BEHIND TIME
WASHINGTON: Constant altering
of plans to meet rapid changes in air
lighting tactics in Europe, combined
with delays in getting material and
scarcity of skilled labor, has put Am
erica's great aircraft program two
months behind schedule, so it is now
moving forward smoothly, in disclos
ing tills in the senate military com
mittee, Colonel Dodge, assistant to
Major General Squires, chief signal
officer of the army, said that not a
single machine of tiie exact type plan
ned when congress appropriated
$640,000,000 for an air fleet will sec
service in France.
Colonel Dodge suid that the ten
dency was toward machines of great
er power and that valuable lessons in
this respect had been learned at the
last battle about Verdun. He believ
ed that the machines now being man
ufactured and sent to France, not on
ly would meet present requirements,
but would excel anything the enemy
might produce.

ENLIST YOUR DOLLARS
IN THE NATIONS SERVICE
A dollar spent wisely helps to win the war. It helps you.
It helps your family. It helps the country.
A dollar spent thoughtlessly for something which you do
not need gives an unnecessary task to transportation facilities,
already over-burdened. It keeps somebody needlessly busy
in a position non-essential to our welfare. It keeps valuable
material from finding a more valuable outlet.
To enlist these dollars directly in t,he nation’s service
helps to enlist these services and materials in the nation’s ser
vice—and, over there, it HELPS TO WIN THE WAR!
You can lend these dollars to the Government TODAY—
all at once, or 25c at a time. Go to the bank or post office or
any authorized agency and buy a Thrift Stamp or several of
them.
They are twenty-five cents apiece. Sixteen of them, four
dollars and fourteen cents entitle you to a War Savings
Stamp. $4.14.
And in 1923 the Government gives you $5.00 for it—gives
you four per cent interest compounded quarterly for helping
to WIN THE WAR.
Every month a War Savings Stamp, adds a penny to its
value—because it is earning interest every month. Buy now—
today—and get,, the biggest return. . , , ,
Start today with a quarter—or several of them.
