Southeast Missouri Area Subdivision No. 1 Dairy Transportation Committee, Chas. Tucker, Chairman Rolla, Missouri New U. S. Airplanes Will Dwarf Torts1 Will Have Flying Range for Round Trip to Europe.

WASHINGTON. Battleships of the air with half-carload bomb ea-! pacity and Tying range for a round trip to Europe soon will be blasting America's enemies from the skies, according to Gen. Henry H. Arnold. The chief of the army sir forces, writing in Army Ordnance, a maga-sine of the army ordnance association, said new and revolutionary planes will be in use In the near future.

Automatic fire control for numerous powdered gun-turrets, similar in effect to the systems which lend deadly accuracy to ground and ship artillery, was another early development foreseen by the flying general. General Arnold foresaw protective and offensive cannon fire, heavier than anything now flying, for the new bombers. "The bombers will dwarf our present Flying Fortresses," he said. "They will carry half a carload of bombs serosa the Atlantic and fly home without stop. "The bomber's skin will have numerous "blisters, which tn reality will be multiple-gun turrets control-labia from sighting stations.

Sights that compensate for almost every possible error encountered in firing on a fast-moving aerial target will control the guns a sight as revolutionary as our present bombslght "The plane will have 'eyes' that help guide it to its target or warn and plot the course of interceptor aircraft. It will carry bombs of an entirely different design. It msy mount heavy -caliber cannon of an entirely new principle of operation." Arnold added that within the near future the air forces would have new fighter plane types which "will have advanced almost beyond recognition In form and in the combat they carry."

PITTSBURGH. It won't be long before yoa eaa buy wooden bed springs. Also wooden springs foe eouche, and chairs. They substitute tor steel, gone tor the duration. Very likely they won't squsak, and certainly they will spring.

They are made on the principles of cantilevers, rockers, and Interlocking wooden leaves. Hundreds of changes Ilka these are due la a few months In the goods the pub lie buys. These Amerlcsa wsr changes promise to strike a typically Amerlcsa note to be something really new In the economy of wsr. They will aot be ersats; that Is, merely substitutes. The trade already eaDs them slternstes and successors.

They will be really new things, hundreds of which msy be so good that they will stay on the market after the war. The present aim is to bring in re placements under new names. Mak ers and distributors do not wish to run the risk of lowsted quality in new and untried substitutes. They csnnot sfford to risk reputations built by years of service snd advertising. For merchandising pur poses, the substitutes will stand oa their own merits.

Ctethtng Is Chaag tag. In slothing, the public has hsd tittle contact with the ehanged merchandise. Simplification of basic design is the first step. The simplification means neither better nor worse arti-cles of wear. The next step Is likely to be standardisation of the fabric.

This step can result In Improvements In quality. Lat December IS men's shirt talis were shortened three Inches. This change has brought out another thing at which the manufacturers snd merchandisers are aiming, namely the need for more rigid testing of Innovations In sctual service. Fsshlon gowns snd negligees are not causing much worry. But makers sre earnestly studying sny substitute goods that has to ba ued or worn again and again.

Failure to give maximum service would hurt Confronts New Problems. Another Job now confronting the laboratories Is finding out what the alternate goods are going to be like. That brings up problems of pressing, wrinkle and bagging qualities. Carpets and rug patterns have been reduced by 80 per cent Wool and rayon mixtures are on the market There is no kapok for furniture up holstery Oiling. The trade has done a number of things.

One Is going back tc Spanish moss. Another la long fiber cotton. A third Is SO. 000 acres of milkweed grown In Michigan last year. The government took sll this milkweed.

The government also took over bubblfU, the new filler made of cellophane tubing which swelled by several tiny air bubbles per Inch. In cooking utensils, enamel articles are down from 80 varieties to e(s than 20. The changes In cook- tng wear brought one of the Inci dents which sre amusing or tragic, depending on who auffers. It was necessary to Insist that handles should be strong enough not to bend under the weight of water in the pot when it was being carried. Isaac Newton's Library Of 858 Volumes Is Sold booksellers announced that they had sold Sir Isaac Newton's library to the Pilgrim Trust The library consists of 8S8 volumes, nearly all in contemporary calf bindings.

STfVf NSON Mariaersi At the beginning of th wsr, a British Skipper, wbe had been retired because of hli years, was called back into service and placed command of a freight, jar. His four sons are also men oi (be sea. Eventually, two found berths oa their father's ship.

Thai wss satisfactory indeed to both fa tber and sons. It would bsve been far more satisfactory, however, bad the other two been with them. But that was not to bs. As a matter of fact as the wsr progressed and becsms more and mors difficult for mariners to keep In touch with their families, the father lost track of his other two sons completely. For more than two years, be did aot bear a word from them.

Recently, the veteran skipper brought his ship Into the port of Ntw York. And ea the ship st the pier nest to the one at which he docked was one of bis two missing sons. Reaaloat Naturally the coming to gether of the three brothers and their father csused a celebration. Then arrangements were made for shore leave for the captain and his sons so that they could go sight seeing together. Maybe It wss Just co-lncldence.

Possibly Fate took a hand In the matter. But whatever the motivation, in the course of the evening the csptaln and bis three sons went to the Merchant Marine Canteen at the Rita Tower and well, you've guessed It the fourth son wss there. Witnesses ssld that the father was so overcome that be went sll to pieces. But he soon recovered and the five spent the rest of the evening singing songs, slap ping one another on the back and reminiscing. As this Is being written, the csptaln and his sailor sons are making arrangements for another evening out together.

Darndest War: At the traffic light at 72nd and Broadway, the taxi drlv- er suddenly turned his head and remarked, "This Is the darndest war I ever heard of. Can't dope It out at all. In the last World war, I enlisted In the coast guard and got sent to the Philippines where we saw no action at all So I thought it a nice safe service and got my kid to enlist And what happens? Well, this morning the wife snd I get a letter saying he's been one of the first to land In Sicily." Ramblinga and Ruminations: Two girls looking admiringly at a costly gown display in a Broadway window The short one remarking to her tall companion. "Maybe we could wear clothes like that If we were defense workers instead of hash slingers" and the tall one averring, "What I need most of all is a new pair of feet" Two soldiers wandering up Broadway munching apples One comments that fruit from the orchard back boms tastes much better and the other, his eyes on platinum blonde, remarking more or less absently. "You said it buddy."
