FIX
Although mans earliest flying
contrivances were patterned after
birds, modern airplanes are best
duplicated by nature in the flying
fish-which, strange as 1t seems,
cannot fly at all.
The flying fish's long pectoral
fins, rigidly extended. resemble
the wings of a m%onoplane, Its
large pelvic and caudal (tail) fins
approximate the arrangement of
an airplane's tail surfaces. Birds
tails lack the equivalent of an air.

Properly speaking, flying fish
glide. They obtain a terrific
drive through the water by vi
brating the caudal fin. and once
in the air are able to glide great
distances.

Strategic Metals

By the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Mines said in its
annual report yesterday that it had
gone far during the last year toward
making the United States inde-
pendent of foreign imports for Ger
tain strategic minerals.
Among these, it said, was tin,
tungsten, manganese, chrome and
antimony.
The bureau added that it was de-
vising processes which would facili-
tate the utilization Of low-grade
mineral deposits heretofore unde-
veloped.
It said the process for making
electrolytic manganese would be ap-
piled in a commercial plant using
Tennessee Valley power.
Definite progress has been made,
the report said, in the study Of
methods for producing pure sponge
chromium from chromium chlorides
and in devising a process for the
manufacture of magnesium metal

Withdrawal of the United States

"Why all this tenderness toward
Russia?" Mr.. Hoover asked. "Our
Government offers its good Offices
to prevent the attack on Finland.
The administration very properly
protested against the bombing of
Finnish women and children. We
do not even get civil replies. More
over, has Russia kept her agreement
with the United States not to en-
gage within the United States in
propaganda to destroy our Govern
ment?
Mr.. Roosevelt gave recognition
to the Communist government by
treaty and the exchange of Ambas-
sadors. That gave them standing
as a decent member Of the family
Of nations.
1--WE long since had withdrawn our
Ambassador to the Nazi govern
ment Of Germany and we even
raised our tariff Is per cent on Ger
man goods. Is the assault on the
freedom of Finland, and the dead
women and children in their streets
any less.a shock to us than the Nazi
barbarities? We should, as was

Besides, approximately 100000
Polish Jews are to be evicted fore

The Gestapo, or secret police, has

Each deported Jew may take along
800 marks ($12O, only such personal
belongings as will go into a large
suitcase, and essential household
goods, especially bedding, cooking
utensils and such tools as would be
useful in building barracks and
primitive homes.
Towns and villages of the region
around Nisko are being abandoned
as quickly as possible by Poles. Ger
mans and Ukrainians, and the dwell
lings, many showing the effects of
the German-Polish war, turned
over to the Jews. The Jews are to
