I Aircraft Chief Explains Use of Planes in Action The effectiveness of dropping I bombs from a warring airplane on such points as a railroad terminal, a chemical factory, or a moving battleship, was told to members of the 'University Club last night by MaJ. William Ayres Borden, chlsf 11 of the aircraft armament division 14 of the United 8tates Army. "One of the determining factors In the controversy as to whether an airplane can adequately demolish a battleship will lie in the ef-1 fectiveness of the aimed bomb, I which, if its success is complete, should be able to penetrate the ex- posed armor of the battleship and spread confusion within." declared MaJ. Borden. "Many people think the correct aiming of a bomb is all that Is necessary." he said, "but the most important part of dropping a bomb lies in its ability to explode.

Some bombs are aimed correctly, but when they hit the ground no explosion occurs."

George McQuarrie. noted character actor who plays the role of the detective in Thomas Meighan's latest Paramount picture, "The City of Silent Men," which comes to Loew'g Palace today, proves his versatility in this role. In a recent picture McQuarrie played the sympathetic part of a man who is persecuted for half of his life by a detective, and in Meighan's picture he, in turn, is a detective, who heartlessly persecutes his quarry.

Meighan plays the role of a young man who is made the foil of crooks and sent to prison for a crime of which he is innocent. He escapes and going West, builds up his life anew, but the detective aever gives up the chase and several years later again locates the fugitive. How he is foiled forms one of the most unusual climaxes seen in any picture.
