WASHINGTON. Sept. 81 tUP -
Beer canned like peas and corn ap-
parently is just the beginning. 1t
probably won't be long before whis-
ky drinkers also are using can
openers to get at their tipple.
In California, according to fed
eral alcohol administration officials,
wineries are canning sherry and
port, while some distflleries are put
ting up brandy in super-tomato
cans. They said there was no good
reason why whiskey and gin also
could not be canned.
Canning Of beer is going right
ahead, although bottle makers are
bitterly opposed to it. The latter
have produced a special thin-glaSS,
nor-returrable bottle to compete.
There are two kinds of beer cans
now being produced. One has TO be
opened with a special can opener
supplied with every purchase. The
other kind Of can looks like an over
sized toothpowder receptacle, and IS
closed with an ordinary beer cap,
removable in the old-fashioned
way.
The can makers spent several
hundred thousand dollars perfect
ing beer cans. Their biggest trouble
was with the lining. At first 1t
peeled off and made the beer cloudy
and, while that wasn't harmful,
they figured no beer drinkers would
want to consume can lining every
time they took a swig
Their new lining, a sort Of golden
colored lacquer, won't peel, though,
and the beer from cans is okay,
The can makers, in fact, claim it's
better than bottled beer. The bot
tie makers say it isn't nearly 50
good.
The American beer drinker him
self will have to make the decision.
Somebody will lose a lot OF money.
whichever way he decides.
The civilian conservation corps
has issued a 1D7-page booklet show
ing its 100000 workers how not TO
kill themselves. 1t is packed with
safety regulations for the youthful
foresters, telling them TO drive auto
mobiles carefully not TO set off
dynamite which has been frozen,
end to wear goggles when the chips
begin to fly
It tells how TO build stoves so the
barracks won't burn down in the
middle of the night and how not
to strike matches, to be able to jump
into deep water, take off all clothes
and swim away. II says that CCC
workers should wear good, comfort
able shoes, and that they should
watch their step.
THE feet should be lifted in walk

A DREAM JUST NOW

It IS only a dream now. but every prof.
ect that was ever worth while was at one
time a dream.
The proposal to start a movement for
an inland tri-nation highway between the
Mexican border and Banff Alberta,
Canada, was given impetus last night
when the Associated Chambers of Com
merce endorsed the plan of sending
motorcade over the proposed route to
stir up interest in it.
Starting in al CaleXico. and tying in at
Ell Centre with the east and west high
way No. 80, the proposed route would
swing north through Needles. Boulder
City and Las Vegas to Ely, Nevada,
thence into Idaho and Montana, cross
ing the international border in the latter
state and on into Banff.
Such a route would open up to tour
lists some Of the most beautiful scenery
in the world, and would bring two great
national parks, Yellowstone and Glacier,
within the reach of those travelling over
it, as we'll as Boulder dam and the great
artificial lake forming in back of it.
1t will take years to bring such road
to reality but the opening Of such high
way would be fitting reward for any eff
forts put forth in its behalf.
The great transcontinental highways
were at one time in the dream stage,
such as this proposed route IS. One can
not travel over them without paying
tribute to the men OF vision, who three
decades ago visualized them and put
them through to completion.
Good roads are an asset to any COM
munity New roads mean more COM
munities Developing this proposed
highway is a task worthy of pioneers,
who will not be discouraged by rebuffs
or obstacles but will press on until the
dream becomes a reality.

ing and the tape on the bottom
This method of stitching the tape
into place is to prevent the fabric
from Tapping and tearing off.
Now that leaves us with the wing
covered with white cloth, all stitched
up. But if we touch it we find that
the fabric is pretty loose. And here's
the way we fix that: We draw
that fabric up to the tautness Of a
drumhead by painting it with dope,
which is nothing more than liquid
celluloid, and few other ingre-
dents. AS soon as the dope" dries,
the fabric Shrinks and draws it
self tight on the wing. A good job
requires from seven to 10 coats of
clear dope"
Now the next step is to paste more
tape over the rib-stitching and
seams. This tape is held in place
by painting it with more dope" All
this doping process it done in a
room where the temperature is kept
at an even IS degrees.
After the whole job is allowed to
dry thoroughly, the final finish or
paint job is started. The paint is
another form of dope which has
color mixed with it, and as the paint
is applied, it is permitted to dry and
then is sanded down and painted
again. This process is repeated I'M
til smooth, glossy finish is OBJ
tanned.

It's tailoring job to cover an air.
plane wing or fuselage. First, you
measure the wing and its shape
then with those measurements for a
pattern you cut out the fabric-just
the way a tailor makes suit of
clothes.
Next, you fit the fabric to the
wing, then sew UP all the seams and
place a narrow piece of tape over
each rib in the wing, on top and on
bottom. These pieces of tape are
rib-stitched by driving long needle
through the tape on top of the wing

INTEREST IN FLYING
Back Yard Type of Plane Attracts
Private Owners, Says Bureau.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 27.-In an
effort to stimulate the development

Commerce is taking great interest
in the autogiro and other small
ships suitable for back yard" land
ings.
Two major hindrances stare the
prospective private owner in the
face when he considers flying his
own ship. First is the question of
where to land and keep his ship,
second the high initial cost. 1t is
these handicaps the department is
trying to eliminate.
A contract has been awarded for
the construction of a two place
cabin autogiro designed for opera
ton on the highways after or prior
to landing. The wings, according
to design will fold back against the
fuselage. the propeller will be dis
engaged. the power driven to the
