Yes, you're peeling down to your shirt sleeves, these days. You're stepping
lively, doubling your activities, doing a job. Every move you make is moti-
vated by a deep-rooted purpose, aimed in the direction of ultimate Vic-
tory. This spirit of determination even enters into your new purchasing
habits. The thoughts uppermost in your mind when you buy are—conser-
vation, economy, endurance. If you have enough shirts, wear them to
the bitter end. Lf you need new shirts, get the ones you can count on
to cooperate with you. Jayson—that's the name to remember. Jayson
—with the time-tested superiorities of fabric, fit and durability. And
when, stripped of your jacket, you roll up those Jayson shirt sleeves,
you're presenting a handsome front to the world!

seven days in Cairo. Dull writes
to his mother, Mrs. W. R. Owen,
sr., that he had bathed from

between sheets — a luxury that
is unheard of in desert warfare.
He wrote that he had been
transferred from the mechanical
department of the air corps to
the observation planning of-
fice. He flew to and from Cairo
and said there were so many
“Yanks” in Cairo that the na-

at Chanute Field, ground opera-
tions.
