Today At Millsaps Rv WVE BUCHANAN TOO TOUGH FOR 'EM Pittsburgh (INS) Yes, women may invade men's fields and make successful careers in many occupations. But, there's a limit. It's in the steel mills, according to a report of the Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor. Surveys conducted by the bureau's women investigators have revealed that war-time experiments with women in steel-making have been failures in a great majority of cases.

A secret weapon until recently, Pie rocket guns have been developed fully since the blitz and have now been mealed as one of the reasons German "scalded cat" raiders find London the world toughest bombing target.

Flak Gun el Fature Proponents of the rocket guns state that new improvements still in the experimental stage win matte it the flak weapon of the future if the future needs a flak weapon. Although there has been husn-hush ban on these guns, Britons in raid areas have become increasingly aware of them over the last year.

Likewise, Luftwaffe pilots who have been near enough to the rocket barrage and far enough away to escape its effects must have filed some startling reports with German Intelligence officers. In Hands of Home Guard Britain's civilian army, the Home Guard has been taking over duties en the rocket sites in the last year and now performs duties at a large percentage of the batteries. The guns themselves are fairly simple contrivances, stubby racklike structures which stand in long rows. The altitude of the explosion Is adjusted on the projectile, the angle of fire on the rocket base.

They are fired in salvoes by a series of simple five-cent flashlight batteries. Each salvo starts with a swish and cascade of harmless sparks, then seconds later there is a roaring din of almost simultaneous explosions in the sky which not only cover a large srea with flak fragments but have an attendant blast effect. Speed is the Thing General Sir Frederick Pile. Britain's chief of A. command, explained 'The secret of successful A.

But at the same time the rockets throw up a disastrous area bar WhatiWoman WonlilD't Love This Columbus Air Field Victims Identified Three Students Die In Mid-Air Crash Columbus.

Oscar Lange, made their highly controversial Russian trip on the invitation of the Soviet government which furnished their transportation to Moscow, Xn answer to a request from Rep. John Lesinski (D) Hull said the Catholic priest and the professor made the trip as private citizens acting in their own individual capacities. "They have no official status, and therefore, are not, in any sense, representatives or spokesmen by Allied power." Lesinski said that Hull's statement made it clear the Father Orlemanski and Professor Lange "are merely tools of the Russian government." He added: "There is no reason for the journey unless it could be to teach the two men how to disrupt our own government with communistic ideas. The man who pays the fiddler always calls the tune and it is quite obvious in this case that he is Joe Stalin."

(Continued From Page One) state this year, can reasonably be expected to beat the prospective feed shorgage-or do more than an thing else to reduce the shortage. A yield of only 15 bushels of corn to the acre average for the state cannot produce all the corn needed, this yield must be increased to about 25 bushels to enable thte acreage usually planted to produce the desired amount, and especially if Mississippi is to further expand the growing livestock industry. Nitrate fertilizers are now plentiful. A side dressing of 150 to 200 pounds of nitrate of soda, or 75 to 100 pounds of ammonium usually increases the yield 50 to 100 per cent to the acre this practice is extremely important this year and should be applied to every acre of corn. County agents point out that another important practice is that of actually planting more than enough acreage to hay crops to actually produce enough good legume hay to feed the livestock on each farm.

The shorter the labor, the more acreage that should be planted to feed crops that can be harvested with the mower and combine. Farmers with livestock should certainly produce and feed more silage. A supply of 2 1-2 to 3 tons of silage per cow has saved the day for thousands of cattlemen who otherwise would have been forced to sell their herds. Pastures are excellent at this time, but weeds are growing rapidly if left alone, weeds will reduce the amount of grazing about 50 percent and ruin a lot of milk over a period of 3 to 4 months.

He got the idea that they would be valuable for high-angle fire and invented a system of plotting control. i This was tried oujt against the enemy at Dover and worked. It subsequently was adopted in other areas. According to one story, during the training period crowds of children used to gather outside the wire barrier of the gun sites and follow the lessons with avid absorption. Once when a trainee moved away from his gun, a little cockney voice stopped him and told him to correct an error.
