Ease Way for Student Fliers

Prospect of Qualifying a* Pilot It Improving for

Those Who Are Fit

WASHINGTON.—The way now i s ; open to learn to fly your postwar personal airplane, with instructors and training planes becoming avail­able in limited quantities as mili-tar&>-jdemands ease.

The. prospect of qualifying as a pilot is improving also for any hope­ful to whom physical qualifications has tioen a concern, because the Civil Aeronautics administration has begun a program for ^evaluating persons unable to meet airman cer­tification requirements.

The CAA's efforts to redefine its pilot regulations- coincide with an army air force decision to halt the flight instructors phase of the war training service program, a decision that was bad news for 960 instruc­tors and their 4,100 instructor-stu­dents.

The light airplane went to war along with many other civilian items after Pearl Harbor. Flight instruc­tors went with them, and the air space was virtually barred to pri­vate flying. Restrictions gradually have been relaxed, however, until today flying generally is permitted except along the coasts.

Restrictions Lifted. Prospective student fliers no long­

er must show that flight training is intended to fit them for a war job. Restrictions on the sale and rental of light planes by private pilots have been lifted, so that in the last few weeks more than 700 small aircraft have been posted for sale through government agencies.

Not until a student pilot is ready to solo need he encounter govern­ment regulations now, Before go­ing up alone he must obtain a cer­tificate from a CAA medical exam­iner that he is physically able to fly, that he is a U. S. citizen, and is loyal to his country. The latter two requirements are wartime measures.

Records in the office of Dr. W. R. Stovali, medical director of the CAA, show that only 2,800 of 142,000 applicants for medical certification were rejected, and 700 of those later were certified in some capacity after demonstrating they had compensat­ed for physical deficiencies.

The figures include both new ap­plicants and pilo^ coming up for re­examination, so the chances of final rejection are somewhat less than 1 in 70.

Limitations May Arise. The agency now is trying to de­

termine how much further it would be safe to go in permitting physical­ly deficient persons to fly.

Dr. Stovali said one important change already is in effect—phys­ically deficient persons may show to what extent their skill overcomes their handicap. Formerly this was granted only to pilots who came up for periodic reexamination.

Any physical examination is sub­ject to appeal and reconsideration. That is why 700 of 2,800 persons originally rejected were permitted later to fly. Usually, however, such Certificates carry limitations com­parable to the common automobile license requirement that the holder wear his glasses while driving.

In the case of an airman certif­icate, the limitation might require glasses to be worn, or might limit a frail person to airplanes with en­gines under 80 horsepower, or a per­son lacking full use of his legs to planes without foot brakes, or a per­son with limited use of his arms to planes without overhead stabilizer controls.

Tree* 'Electricity9 Is Linked to Phases of Moon

NEW HAVEN, CONN.—An elec­trical recording of the biological ac­tivity of maple trees has produced evidence that may substantiate the ancient belief that phases of the moon have a profound effect on liv­ing organisms, according to Dr. Harold S. Burr, professor of anat­omy at Yale school of medicine.

In an article in the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine, Dr. Burr describes preliminary experiments which showed a strong correlation between the biological activity of maple trees and the phases of the moon.

A study of continuous electromet-ric recordings for several months disclosed the "astonishing fact" of a "tremendous and very sharp rise" in the average potential differences accompanying normal biological ac­tivity approximately svery 30 days —or with each full moon—Dr. Burr said.

Furthermore, he wr^le, 'the peaks of electrical activity seem to be more closely associated with the phases of the moon than any other discernible factor."

V>"hat will happen after the w-ar when Uncle Sam is no longer Mich­igan's most important single custom­er? <

Here is a question being asked by many Michigan growers today.

Remember, when the United States government comes to Michigan and buys our food products, it requires careful grading of these products so that the quality is define and the price is in proportion to the value 'received. Because Michigan food pro­ducts were inspected and graded. Uncle Sam purchased in 1943 some 8200 carloads of Michigan fruits and vegetables; 1169 carloads of Mich­igan shell eggs; 5,000,000 bags (10 pounds) of Michigan dry edible beans; and also dairy products by the millions of pounds. Cherry or-

"If some growers were forced to buy and eat some of the products they place on the market, they would soon realize the necessity of a sound grading and marketing program. The consumers' market basket has nV> room for producer excuses. If con­sumers' demands are not satisfact­orily filled with graded Michigan food products, they immediately be­come customers for satisfactory pro-ducts from some other state. .| K d r i e f i ^

Cut the potatoes for planting into large squares about the size of a small hen's egg. Each piece should have two or more eyes. Cut the seed shortly before planting. Plant in a fertile, well drained loamy soil that has been thoroughly harrowed so it is in a soft mellow condition. If the soil is wet and soggy delay planting

"A sound marketing program is not complete without sufficient funds to advertise the farm products this state has o offer, but first the products should be graded to known stand­ards that are acceptable to the buy­ers and consumers. If U. S. No. I, Michigan Grade 1, Grade A, or any other grade declaration appears on the containor, or is advertised, the food products so described must meet the grade declared. - -

"Any relaxation in maintaining the quality and grade standards, or in the enforcement of the food laws and regulations, causes buyers and consumers to lose confidence and the markets for our products are lost to more alert and progressive competitors.

Brazilian Iron Industry Slow in Taking Root

The Brazilian iron industry is said by historians to date back to 1597, antedating that of gold and dia­monds, when iron was worked in the "capitania" of Sao Vicente, present state of Sao Paulo. But the indus­try was slow in taking root.

In the 18th century, Portugal dis­couraged iron production in order to concentrate colonial activity in minerals, especially gold, and in ag­riculture. Portugal lifted the ban in 1795, and the iron, works at Soro-caba, in thestate of Sap Paulo, were reopened. First production of im­portance in the state of Minas Ge-rais occurred in 1806. The ruins of the first furnace still stand.

In 1860, a Belgian, Monlevada, conceived the idea of smelting the rich iron ores that were abundant in the state of Minas Gerais. Over­coming many odds, he literally dragged iron and steel BUkfrr equipTnent uf> the Rk> Uoce to what is now Monlevade and began steel making with a rolling null.

If Michigan growers expect to de­rive the grtatest benefit from the advertising of Michigan food pro­ducts, then they must keep their own house in order—especially in the postwar period which will bring an end to government purchase of food­stuffs.

Cofttoer Orchards Contour planting of all fruits

planted on hillsides is advised by Hugh S. Wilson, extension soil con­servationist for New York state, who points out that even apples and other fruits grown in sod may at times have to be cultivated.

The small terrace ridges made by plows also help to hold water on the soil to stimulate faster growth of the young trees. Even land in sod loses seme of the water from sud­den heavy showers when the soil is very dry, unless terrace ridges have been built. Dry soil is also closely associated with freezing injury to fruit trees, so that soil and water conservation helps to offset this risk.

Secret Compata Guides Fortress** in Overcast

LONDON — Flying Fortrosres find German targets with a new gyro flux-gate compass which enable^ sky navigators to get instant bearings. In use for seme time, the device was disclosed after it was known several had fallen into German hands. A navigation officer said the compass eliminates needle wavering due to plane movements. Mounted out on one wing it is connected to cabin dials.

"It is just a compass with all er­rors out," one navigator explained. A navigator can stop figuring his course because the compass does this for him, he said. It was de­scribed as a great aid when planes fly through overc&st and find their way to the target and back to their own field.

Flying Seems to Be Old Stuff to Army Pooch

MAR1ANNA, FLA. — "Dogfight-ing"—all in fun, of course—is old stuff to Angus.

The graying black scottie, an army pooch for all his nine and a half years, likes nothing better than a ride in a fast fighter plane, and in the thousands of hours he has spent in the air he has accumulated more flying time than anyone at the Mari-anna army airfield except his mas* ter. Col. John W. Persons, his com­manding officer.

Angus has flown over all 48 states and Cuba and has ridden with two secretaries of war, George H. Dern and Harry H. Woodring.

You Can Scarcely Have Too Many Smart Blouses in Your Wardrobe

By CHKRIE NICHOLAS

m Lights of New York

wm by L. L, STEVENSON

BsaBsaaaaHDEsa

YOUR blouse is decidedly the better half of your costume

this year, either as a showpiece to add zest to your suit or to make a simple skirt dramatic. The col­lections now available in the stores include many styles versatile enough tc teem perfectly by day with the tailored suit and still look important after five o'clock with dressy clothes.

Because adaptability is so impor­tant in limited wartime wardrobes, white is. predominant in the solid eater range. Geometric and floral

.prints on white backgrounds are •aw voguish this season. The snowy whiteness of rayon fabrics, which is permanent no matter how fre­quently a garment is cleaned or

, tvbbed, wins high regard tor these weaves, as the? can, b#. depended

to retain their original fresh-

For the frilly types, fine rayon repe in glistening white fashions

'portrait" blouses with flatter­ing throat-framing ruffles, also frilly Jabots or lace and eyelet embroidery run through with contrasting velvet ribbons at neckline and wrists. Firm-bodied white rayon crepes and shantungs are precision tailored in styles featuring round necklines with self-fabric bows, tucked or box-pleated fronts, simulated pearl but­ton closings and pert Johnny collars with dark ribbon tied in a soft knot at the throat. Most of these blouses have long button-at-the-cuil sleeves ao that they retain their tailored de­tail when worn without a suit jacket, or with slacks or a jumper.

Transparent or semi-opaque ray­ons such as crisp'marquisettes, self-patterned sheers and lace and most , especially a new-type snowy white steer rayon jersey are all favorites tat dressy white blouses. Frothy con-

' factions of dainty rayon marquisette with crispy fillips such as ruffles,

Jabots and frills lend fragile artifice

to lovely feminine fancies, which serve as marvelous Scene-C'hangers.

There's appeal of the picturesque in the charming blouse pictured to the left in the illustration. This most lovely blouse is made cf a very choice pure white sheer rayon jersey. It's youthful low round neck­line and soft shirred bodice fullness are fetching details. The long wide sleeves gathered on a narrow wrist­band tall with exquisite grace into soft sculptured folds.

There is a wide selection of blouses in color and prints planned for the warm weather season, when spring suits will he laid aside for lightweight cardigan or bolero Cos­tumes, which are so smart this season, made of rayon shantung or handsome rayon faille. The call for check or plaid or stripe taffeta is boundless for boih blouses and for the extremely modish weskit types. Dashing crisp rayon taffeta in black and white check is used for the blouse centered in the group. Not­able is the ultimate chic with which this blouse is styled.

Stunning are the new rayon prints, which range from vivid paisley and Mexican - inspired patterning? to large multi-colored floral designs, many of which are handpainted on soft crepes, jerseys, linen-textured weaves and shantungs, all belong­ing to the rayon family. A gor­geously colorful hand-blocketi floral print of high-quality rtjyon.crepe be­speaks charm for the gay blouse shown in the inset. The small round turnover collar ties with a large floppy bow of self-fabric, bow fas­tenings of this type being outstand­ing in the present fashion picture.

Checks and Plaids

The hat and glove set at top is fashioned of meadow green in nat­ural check silk. The high crown with its mushroom brim is strikingly smart looking. A wide ribbon tie is caught in back. Matching gloves complete a stunning ensemble. The large brimmed chapeau, below, is a handsome tan straw with D flaltcr-Jag 4r«oe of piaid tie ailk done in attractive pastel coloring*.

Interest in Black Cotton Continues to Increase

Style interest in black cottons is developing at a rapid rate as the season gets underway. Smartest dressed women are all enthusiastic over the idea of black cottons, both for abouMown wear during the active hours of the day and for dressy frocks as well. They are quite intrigued with cottons that are made up as fashion-perfect as are their most elegant silks and wools. There's a patrician look about suits, bolero or cardigan style, nicely tailored of black pique or the black cotton weaves that are proc­essed to look like expensive linen. These suits also of black gabardine and army twill are stunning frosted with snowy frills and lingerie lacy blouses or those smartly tailored. Heading the list of dressy cotton? I'or gala wear, you'll find a very lovely semi-sheer balloon batiste, which is particularly attractive made up with black lace bands or insets.

Fringed Wide Brims There's a ne v vogue on. It's the

wide-brimmed hat that is dramati­cally covered with fringe. The large coolies, the mushroom types and the huge awning brims yield most effectively to the new fringe tech­nique.

Borough Beautiful: Betty Smith, who wrote "A Tree Grows in Brook­lyn," indulged in conversation with a cab driver over in Philadelphia. When the cabbie learned that Miss Smith'really lives Sn Brooklyn, he looked at her with awe and amaze­ment and informed her that Brook-lynites are a strange breed indeed. Miss Smith, naturally enough, quer­ied him on this theory and he in­formed her that he based his pre­sumption on the fact that several seasons back, 25,000 Brooklynites journeyed to Philly for a ^baseball game and that ticket speculators, imported from Brooklyn, would sell tickets only to their fellow citizens. • "Well/' commented Miss Smith, "you must at least give Brooklyn

• j people credit for being ingenious." fc" "Lady," returned the cabbie, "you k don't give BrooWyn people'anything *-^r^hey take it." :•<'••*—*m£j\~^_

Sincerity: At a cocktail party given for a Hollywood gossip record­er (feminine), the guest of honor suddenly rushed up to a male, threw her arms around him and with many "dears" and "darlings," greeted him as though he were a very close and dear friend from whom she had been separated entirely too long. The gushing salutation at an end, she spotted another acquaintance and called him over. "I want you to meet," she began, "one of the greatest and very finest men in Hol­lywood—my friend through the years. As a matter of fact, because he was the one who gave me my start, I owe him whatever success I may have had—a debt so great that it never can be repaid. You will enjoy knowing him, I'm sure/' Then she turned to the one she had eulogized and in dulcet tones, in­quired: "Darling, what is your name?"

Benin of Light Is Used To Find Cloud Ceilings

. CLEVELAND. — A "skyscraper" of light five miles high with a beam nearly 100,000 times as strong as that from a reading lamp is used to find the altitude of clouds and thus overcome hazardous flying condi­tions, Westjnghouse Electric and Manufacturing company said.

The .company's lighting division said the beam of light was shot from a 16-inch searchlight and after the exact location of cloudiayers was determined, the job of calculat­ing their height could be done in a matter of seconds.

Westinghouse said the height of clouds anywhere from zero ceiling up to 28,000 feet could be measured by a geometric principle which in­volves the use of a sighting device resembling the sextant seamen use to shoot the sun.

Ceiling information is useful to pilots Hying above unfamiliar ter­rain and frequently it can be de­termined whether,jt is safe to land at one airport or go on to another, the company added.

Army 'Hardship Tests' Beat Food Rationing

NORTH CAMP POLK, LA.—Don't talk to soldiers of the Eighth armored division about civilian food rationing for the boys are undergoing "bard-ship tests.**

The tests consist of 24 hours of the same physical exertion a soldier could expect in battle, with a mini­mum of food and drink, and no sleep at all.

Recently an armored infantry re­connaissance platoon set a new rec­ord for the tests by marching 32 miles, setting up a defense point, digging foxholes and gun emplace­ments, and repelling a make-believe enemy—all this, on one cup of de­hydrated bouillon for each soldier during the. 24 hours.

CHICAGO.—The nation's agricul­tural army will have its own "task force" in the 1944 production battle, a WFA expert declared here.

Col. Philip G. Bruton, war food administration director of labor, said the plan is to establish and main­tain a mobile force of about 200,000 able-bodied interstate and foreign workers .who can be shifted on short notice to save threatened crops in critical labor shortage areas.

The "task force" would constitute only a small, emergency unit of the labor force nf 12,000,000 persons who will be required at the peak of the nation's harvest if production of an­other record crop to meet war de­mands is accomplished, he said.

12 States Represented. WFA officials meeting with exten­

sion directors and farm labor super­visors from 12 Midwest states in the third of four regional conferences said 4,000,000 of the total would be temporary or seasonal workers in­cluding 800,000 women and 1,200,000 children, recruited from cities, towns and villages in the U. S. crop corps community mobilization pro­gram. The meeting is being held at the Stevens hotel

Colonel Bruton, in his prepared talk, emphasized that the extra worker goal of 4,000,000 represented 500,000 more than were recruited last year. The regular farm labor force numbers 8,000,000 farm opera­tors, . their families and year-round hired hands.

If the 1944 food output goal of 4 to 8 per cent higher than last year is to be realized, he said, it will re­quire 72,000,000 more man-days of farm labor than were required in 1943 or the equivalent of 287,000 husky hands working 250 10-hour days.

6,000 Recruiting Centers. More than 6,000 recruitment and

placement centers serving 3,000 ag­ricultural counties will recruit the crops corps and its units, the wom­en's land army and the victory farm volunteers, the latter for youngsters 14 to 18.

Last year the supplementary forces used included 65,500 workers brought in from Mexico, Jamaica and the Bahamas; 45,900 prisoners of war, 12,600 Japanese internees, 4,400 inmates of penal and correc­tive institutions, 2,500 conscientious objectors, 54,500 members of the military services and 7,425 soldiers detailed as a last resort to save essential crops.

States represented at the confer­ence included Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis­souri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Housing Pinch in U. S. Declared to Be Eased

WASHINGTON. — New construc­tion, conversion of existing build­ings, and intensified use of the pre­war housing supply has provided 2,400,006 housing units for war work­ers' families and has licked the housing problem in most industrial centers, John B. Blandford Jr., ad­ministrator of the national housing agency, reported.

Acute needs will continue this year in areas of increasing production, he said, but he added a word of hope for civilian housing construc­tion and urged the preparation of postwar plans for a big building program.

William's Love Strong Enough to Stop Train!

PHILADELPHIA.—The girl friend said; "I dare you to stand on the tracks and stop the train."

So William Kane Jr., 19, struck a pose, arms folded, on the Pennsyl­vania tracks at 23rd street. A train approached at 40 miles an hour. It ground to a stop a few feet from Kane, who maintained his Napole­onic stance.

Police arrested Kane for trespass­ing. The girl disappeared. At a po­lice station Kane refused to name i'ii.i companion.

"I'm a gentleman," he said. "Vn>y cd you do it?" "I'm in love."

Witness Charges He Was Clubbed in Vichy Prison

ALGIERS, ALGERIA. — Limping to the witness stand with a walking stick with which he said he had been clubbed several times, Nicolas Tsou-ros, n Greek, a former prisoner in a Vichy prison camp at Colomb Be-char in southern Algeria, told a special French military court that guards often cruelly beat the pris­oners and in one case strangled a Spanish doctor named Moreno.

Army Trained 165,000 Air Force Men in 1943

WASHINGTON.-As an example of how the army air force is meet­ing its assignment to "keep 'em fly­ing," a house subcommittee dis-j'.oscd that 165,000 men were gradu­ated last year from the training command. Since 1930, the commit­tee said, the air forces have trained 100,799 pilots, 20,086 bombardiers, 18,805 navigators, 107,218 aerial flex­ible gunners and 555,891 ground and air combat technicians.

An electric fence made of a staglr strand of wire is being suggested

I *»y Floyd W. Duffe*. agricultural en-_ , , pgineer at the Wisconsin college of K a i p n agriculture, at one way for farmers

to meet their present fencing needs. Many farmers are*unwilling to

b«y expensive new fencing wb'ch besides being costly due to wart) he wlstrictiona may be of inferior qual­ity. Duff ee reports that lots of fenc­ing has been token down on Wis-, eonsin farm? along state highways and replaced by a sjggle strand of electrified barbed wirer"*T--

The Wisconsin engineer sees a large measure of economy in in* stalling an electric fence for the cost is only a matter of a few cents a rod, or but a fraction of the cost of woven wire fencing. The electric fence, of course, contains only one strand, compared to th-ee or four up to six wires in the old barbed-wire fence. In addition, the farmer would have to buy a con­troller, but Duff ee indicates that one controller will control miles of fence.

Other engineers are also warning against -the purchase at present of any more wire fencing than is nec­essary. It is thought that the zinc coating now used due , to wai lime restrictions is not enough to protect the wire from rusting for any length of time.

In citing results of tests in New York state of 840 samples of fenc­ing material, including much woven wire and barbed wire, one engineer reported that the tests reminded ob­servers that the life of galvanized coating depends largely on the thick­ness of the zinc coat. It was re­vealed that the zinc wears off at a regular rate, and that the thinner the coating, the sooner the steel wire is exposed.

Samples of galvanized wire now under test at Cornell university have weights of zinc coating varying from two-tenths of an ounce to two ounces per square foot of wire surface. Rust never attacks wire until nearly all the zinc coating has worn away.

Everything Is Designed to Emphasize Femininity.

By CHERIE NICHOLAS There's that about the new style

picture for spring and summer 1944 that makes one realize that fashion lias gone all out for pretty-pretty clothes such as emphasize feminine charm in the little costume accents.

It's,heartening to see what won­ders our style creators are perform­ing in making the most of what

, they have at hand. Regardless of limitations in fabric yardage and difficulty in production because of labor shortage and equipment those engaged in apparel industries have come out victoriously with what women declare are the prettiest, most flattering and easy-to-wear clothes they have known for years.

One's first-impression upon taking a general survey of the hew styles is that color rules in the fashion world today, which h certainly does, and let us hope it will continue to do so throughout the duration. It was a happy thought and a wise one to make color the "big idea" in creat­ing the new fashions. There's uplift and morale-building in bright color. One's coat or dress, or hat and ac­cessories, may be of the simplest, but if they have color they have glamour. And that is just what has happened in the fashion world of today. The young set are stepping out in toppers and youthful boxy coats that.bring cheer to a spring* time landscape. The coats them­selves may be, and are, simply styled with thought given to fabric, conservation, but their delectable colors bespeak a new loveliness that everyone welcomes.

The challenge to make the most out of little has been victoriously met by those who create our fash­ions. There's a new simplicity born in the field of costume design, espe­cially in regard to "lines."

The answer to this challenge is seen in the latest silhouette, which calls for sleek long-torso lines that show off the figure to perfection. The new long-torso over-blouses carry out the idea, as do also coe-piece dresses that button on a slant, or are buttoned up the back (new this season) or are styled in wrap-around effect

Make a study of the new hats, the frothy white neckwear, the myriads of animated wee ruffles of self* fabric that are the favorite trim of the season. Also keep in mind that the custom of wearing flower* has been revived and that soft bows are everywhere in the mode *and it will be plain to see that fashion has indeed gone an out for the prettily feminine this year.

Shoulder Bolero

Air, Landing Craft "' \ Jumps in January

Substantial Increase Over Prewom Month Shoivn.

tKSfi

WASHINGTON.-Output of equip­ment for war, particularly of com­bat aircraft and landing barges, showed a substantial increase for January, Chairman Donald M. Nel­son of the War Production board reported.

This contrasted with a slump of 2 per cent from December to Janu­ary in the overall production index.

Production of landing craft is now the r,No. 1 munitions program/' Mr. Nelson stated, adding that it is picking up fast." The number of landing craft accepted for service rose 20 per cent in January over the December level.

He praised the output of aircraft in January as "the best to date."

The rise was due, he said, to "the Increase in urgently needed combat types."

The number of planes accepted, however, fell from 8,802 for Decem­ber to 8,798 for January. Mr. Nel­son discounted that slight reduction, explaining that "numbers alone no longer do justice to the progress of the aircraft program, since produc­tion is now concentrated on the larg­er and heavier combat types."

The swing in production during January, a rise in the output of some items and a reduction in others, typified the "divergent trends" which will continue to mark the mu­nitions program for the rest of the year, Mr. Nelson said.

"A year ago," he continued, "vir­tually all munitions programs were expanding and the achievement of quantity production was still a pri­mary aim.

"At the present time, however, the total program has almost preached the desired peak. Therefore, total volume of production is no longer the main index of success.

"The chief problem now is to shift production emphasis where neces­sary to turn out the special types of munitions which are most needed, and generally this is being accom­plished."

See the new hat$ made of white starched cotton lace. They're beauties!

There's a look of elegance and formality about the smart new satin coats.

"Did you hear that Tom is going to be inducted into the Arm;' next week, Judge?"

" Yes, Frank told me this morning down at the barber shop. Our town's got a lot of men in the service now, Jim. In fact, all towns have, I was just reading in the paper where there are more than 10,000,000 men away from their homes in the armed forces. And, from ail reports, they're doing a grand job bringing, victory closer every day.

"We folks at home have a mighty big obligation to those 10,000,000 fighting men. We've got to produce the food to keep them

well fed. We've got to keep them supplied with the ammunition and equipment they need to finish their job. We've got to help the Government pay for all these supplies our men need by buying more and more War Bonds. We'll have another big chance to do that by helping to *.-. the 5th War Loan drive over the top, Jim.

"And, in addition, we must be sure that» while they're away and can't express their opinions, we don't go voting on and deciding any things that will displease them when they come back."
