Lieut. Fonch
Downed 97
Enemy Planes
PARIS, Oct. 8.— First Lieutenant
Rene Fonck, of the French uir service,
is officially credited with the destruc
tion of 60 enemy planes, although he
has actually forced down 97 since his
first flight, August 6, 1916. Fonck used
one machine in shooting down 50 of
the German airplanes.
"1 have had the Joy, the murderous
Joy, of having killed 67 crews." Fonck
wrote recently, "and I must confess
that no nightmares disturb my sleep.
Thu more 1 kill of these ussassins the
happier I shall be and the more con
vinced that I have worked not only
for France but for humanity.
"The only thing to use with the
IJoche Is force.”

Why be satisfied with the wear you
get from ordinary boots
when you get so much more from “Hi-Press?”
This is no idle claim, but a fact proven by miners,
farmers and construction workers from Alaska to
Mexico. “Hi-Press” is made by a new and better
I method—the greatest advance in footwear in fifty years.
We use the toughest rubber ever evolved—actually' the
I same kind that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires. There
seems to be no wear-out to it. And the boot is molded
INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Can’t leak or come apart—and
it’s wonderfully comfortable.
When next you hit the trail try the
Shupac—shown here. The White
I Hip is best for the sluices, and there
are many other styles. Ask for the
footwear with the Red Line ’Round
the Top—that’s “Hi-Press.”
