Naval Air Bureau
Asks Funds for More
Experimentation
Holds Research VitoI
To Keep Abreast Of
Advances in Europe

The Navys Bureau of Aeronau-
tics said today additional funds
must be appropriated for expert
mentation if the United States is
ito keep abreast Of European
trends and advances" in aviation.
The statement was made in the
bureaus annual report to Acting
Secretary of the Navy Edison. The
report emphasized that expert
mental projects during the past
year have been limited by lack of
funds.
Other Recommendations.
Other recommendation included:
l. Provide new aircraft in suf-
fcient number to replace obsolescent
or damaged airplanes and meet the
requirements of the naval expansion
program providing minimum OF
5000 planes.
2. Procure and train personnel
adequate for the expansion OF naval
aviation.
3. Provide additional shore facili-
ties adequate for the growing needs
of the Fleet and continue the de-
velopment and improvement OF
ship-board facilities for handling
aircraft.
T. Pursue a moderate" airship
building program and continue
training personnel in non-rigid air.
ships.
5. Allow qualification of naval
aviators on the basis Of non-rigid
airships.
6. Adequate suitable tenders for
patrol planes.
Large Scale Work Urged.
The report said experimental
work on larger scale will permit
accelerated progress and new lines
of development which are OF
utmost Importance to naval avia-
ton and necessary to keep apace
with technical advances abroad"
The bureau said that during the
past year it has continued its policy
of procuring experimental airplanes,
which serve as prototypes for pro-
duction, through design competl-
tions.
The procedure" it was added,
has insured orderly engineering
progress and the procurement OF
service equipment of demonstrated,
superior quality. It has the dis
advantage, however, of discouraging
manufacturers from Incorporating
in their products features OF a
highly experimental nature which
have yet to be proved from practi-
cal standpoint"
Secretary Edison was told addi-
tional aviation facilities are needed
on the East Coast, In the Alaskan
area and in the mid-Paciflc area,
funds for which were authorized by
the last Congress. Operations OF
patrol planes were said to be "seri-
ously restricted" by the lack of sup
porting tenders.

Machine quilting is just the
thing to give the pads the stiffness
and body they require SO that
they will lay fiat in the bottom of
the drawer and not wrinkle up.
Glazed chintz in a plain soft blue

for the pads made to fit the chest
Of drawers shown here. Thin mus
lin is used for the backing and
sheet wadding for the padding.
When all three layers Of material
have been cut the right size, haste
them together. The first row of
basting is run diagonally across
the center and then the rows are
spaced about six inches apart as
shown. Here also is a sketch of

attached. The end Of the indicator
runs along each previous row
stitched making an accurate
gauge for the spacing Of the quilt

Cause and Cure Obscure

SduSe ana Cure OoScure
No scientists today are willing
to state what causes colds or how
they may be cured. Large num-
bers of clinical and laboratory
tests have been performed
throughout the world in an effort
to discover why we catch cold.
Numerous records have been
made concerning colds in men,
women and children, as scientific
workers have patiently and per-
sistently tried to investigate the
cause Of colds. They have sought
even one clue that might help US
to outwit this common enemy!
Various theories have been ad-
vanced. Many have been discard
ed, and others have been consid-
cred sufficiently plausible to in
vestigate further. There is one
point on which many authorities
agree: that is belief that a cold
is caused by a germ SO small
that it cannot be seen by the most
powerful microscope.
It has been suggested by num-
Der of competent observers that
whenever the weather becomes
damp and raw, and wherever
crowds of people gather together,
the cold germ may find victims
among those whose resistance is
low.

How Alloys Are Produced

Alloys are produced by combining

Prevention Rather Than Cure

Though we may not know pre-

how to cure it once we have been

to build up bodily resistance. so
that we develop strong reserves

and any others lurking about.

building up bodily resistance is
one which encourages greater
