Give Iowa Farmer $500
 Hell Get Water System

AMES, Ia, June 26-Give the average Iowa farmer $500 and he would spend most of it on ways and means of eliminating his con- stant trek for water.
 That is indicated by results of Federal rural housing survey completed in 10 Iowa counties un- der the direction of Dr. Margaret Reid of the Iowa State College economics department.
 The survey shows that in 77 per cent of the 28.789 homes in the territory, the water supply is an average distance of 94 feet away. Most of the farmers indicated a desire to install systems that would eliminate having to carry it.
 Other expenditures of the imagi- nary $500 ranged from desires to install bathroom equipment to min or repairs and alterations.

Ii. ventor Patents
 Nonskid Bathtub

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-- Sixty per cent of all accidents in homes occur in the bathtub-but not in Frank Cappucio's bathtub. Franks bathtub is a non-skid bath tub in which almost anybody can keep his feet if he doesn't lose his head.
 Frank, who says he is an anna teur inventor living in Oakland, invented the tub two years ago and had it patented, he revealed. He kept it secret until he read that somebody ought to invent a bathtub with good traction.
 Frank declared his tub has plen- ty of traction. He says he takes an ordinary bathtub and vulcan izes an inch-thick sheet of rubber to the bottom, and corrugates the rubber, and dares anybody to slip on it.

PLANES MAKING
 INTERIOR TRIP
 MAY COME HERE
Army Air Corps Desires to Extend Flight Here If
 Field Available

A squadron of United States Army airplanes, proposing to make good will flight from Washing ton, D. C., to Fairbanks sometime next month, probably will return to the States via Juneau, it was made known today by Governor John w. Troy. Army authorities, it was said, desire the planes to call here enroute South.
 If temporary landing field can be located and made available for use by the squadron near this city, the flight will return by this route, Governor Troy said. He has asked the local Chamber of Commerce to assist in obtaining the necessary ground for a landing field.
 A radiogram received by the Gov ernor from Delegate Dimond said the squadron would need field at least 2000 feet long without obstruction at the ends, since upon leaving Juneau they probably will be loaded to capacity. It would be much better, the Delegate added if the field was at least 2500 feet long.
 Governor Troy was hopeful that a suitable location could be ob- tained somewhere along the beach in the vicinity of Mendenhall Val ley. It probably will be necessary to do some minor improvement work on the land before it can be utilized for landing
 An announcement m a de from Washington last week by the Army Air Corps said a squadron con- posed of ten Martin bombers would leave the National capital some time in July and fly across Canada to Fairbanks. It was said that the flight had no special significance. and was merely good will tour. Definite dates, it was added, would be announced within few days, or as soon as details for the ex- petition had been worked out.

Army Posts m Philippines
 Seen as Defense Nucleus N for Independent Islands
By E. E. BOMAR

MANILA, P. l., June 26.-The United States will abandon about 100000 acres in military posts when the Philippines become free about 1945, under the independ- ence act accepted by the legisla- ture on May l.
 Maj. Gen. Frank Parker, com mandant of the department of the Philippines, thinks the trans fer can be made with litfsses dif- ficulty.
 American forces now include about $50 officers and 4,000 enlist ed men, plus 62 officers and G. 398 soldiers of the Philippine Scouts native Fihpinos whose ser- vice is restricted to the islands.
 We are not certain that we shall withdraw gradually or all at once,' he said But we can do either with equal ease. Moboliza- tion is an essential attribute of a good army"
 Islands Might Buy Posts
 General Parker suggested that an independent Philippine govern ment might wish to take over some or all of the American equipment, including the artillery on the isl- and of Corregidor, the one time American Gibraltar" commanding the entrance to Manila Bay.
 The Washington arms treaty of 1922 forbade the further fortifica- ton of Corregidor but it still is rated as a formidable fortress.
 General Parker said disposition of the Philippine Scouts need not be difficult because "by l944 prac- tically all will have been retired on federal pensions"
 Starl of Philippine Army
 Others he said might be the nu- cleus for a Philippine army, if one were decided. upon, or incorporated in the Philippine constabulary, military police force of about 5000 maintained by the insular govern ment to keep order in the far flung archipelago.
 Two score Scouts recently were retired with pensions upon a ruling of the District of Columbia sup reme court in test case.
 General Parker predicted that more adequate internal policing would be necessary with the Unit ed States out of the picture. He admitted the American army was not in a position to defend the islands from a major external foe but pointed out 'the world knows there are millions more where we come from"
 Soldiers Spending Missed
 He suggested that the soldiers pay that has been largely spent in the islands, amounting to about $5,5oO,O00 a year, will be missed though the war department has made many of it's purchases of supplies outside the Philippines.
 The 100000 acres of land set aside for military purposes is con- tained in eight posts, flying fields and such establishments, chief of which are Fort Santiago, the head quarters, at Manila; Fort Mills. on Corregldor Island; Fort Mckinley. near Manila, manned by 3l0o, and Fort Stotsenburg. cavalry post o7 miles north of Manila, where 2,100 are located.
