At BOeing'S

SEATTLE = Mass produc-
ton of 80 of the worlds larg-
est, fastest bombing planes
for the United States army
started today at Boeing Air
craft Co.
The automobile industry's as
sembly line system was adopted to
turn out the 22-ton, four-motored
flying fortresses" before the end
of the year. Boeing officials said
mass production of planes of such
size was unprecedented in Ameri-
can aircraft manufacturing.
The planes, able to carry ton
of bombs 1900 miles, drop them
and return nonstop, will also have
super-charged 1000 horsepower en-
gines, to enable them to fly at an
altitude of 10000 feet-far above
the range of present anti-sircraft
artillery. The flying fortresses'
are believed capable of $50 miles
per hour
The army already has 10 of the
giant bombers in service. Each
ship has a Widespread of $50 feet,
is 20 feet long. Is feet high and
equipped with five machine gun
turrets for defense.
Boeing officials said the
bombers will emerge from the
production line ready for
flight in virtually q steady
stream. with only few days
intervening between the COM
pletion Of each plane. The
Boeing factory employs $500
men-the greatest number IN
its history-and the majority
are believed TO be working ON
the bombers.
Almost 175.000 square feet Oh
factory floor space was devoted 10
the bomber assembly line. Eight
sub-stratosphere transports were
moved out of the plant TO make
way for the flying fortresses.

Heavy Nitrogen Molecules Used as Tag
Inside Body, According to Scientists

Now that scientists have isolated
heavy nitrogen, what can they do
with tor is it only laboratory
curiosity? One use having immense
practical value in learning the most
obscure secrets inside the body is as
a tag, writes Barclay Moon New
man in the Scientific American.
One thing that scientists who are
studying the comings and goings of
molecules of nutrient proteins in our
bodies have long wanted was a
way to tag or earmark some of
them and thus be able to trace their
movements and see where they turn
up and how soon. However, since
the molecules of the common nitro
gen which constitutes a large part
of our bodies were all alike, doing
this would have been something like
trying to select one child from
identical quintuplets, watch it pass
with the rest behind a house and
then trying to find that particular
one when they all emerged at the
other side.
A few heavy nitrogen molecules
mixed with common ones carry
their own earmarks wherever they
reappear in the body. If scientists
can do this-as they at last can
they can solve many underlying puz-
zles which have practical bearing
on our understanding of the body's

Her plight is common one to
girls over 80 who. married or single,
find it necessary to seek employ
ment this winter. When industry
slackens, jobs become scarce and
applicants for the jobs increase.
1t is quite obvious why the young
er girl is preferred. She asks a
smaller salary, she is more easily
trained to the work, she has no
home ties to distract her during
the day, and usually she is more
attractive because she is about 10
years younger! All in all she is stiff
competition for the older girl.

vice had asked me for job would
not have given her one. Why? First

Martyr Type
Has No Place

eeDON'T enjoy feeling de-
- pressed" is the advice Mrs.
Richard Mather Boardman gives to
women, especially women over fifty.
almost nothing is important
enough to upset ones peace of mind
if you look at it squarely. We should
enjoy life, for living is fun. Don't
make it hard for yourself and for
those around you. How much we
are inclined to worry over problems
which never materialize! You can
overcome every difficulty by going a
step at time.
This is the philosophy which Mrs.
Boardman practices. And she has
reached prominence by living the
very rules she teaches the young
girls who flock to her unique New
York school. Though grandmoth-
er several times, she has the vitality
and alertness of a woman half her
years and she carries on busy So
cial life along with the running of
large institution.
Her progress has not been a path
of roses. She has met difficulties
which would have foOred many

been poSitive-neVer negative.

mysteries. Heavy nitrogen is thus

thing that in the long run will make
doctors wiser.
One such answer was quickly CIV
en- as soon as the new tag" mole
cules became available. 1t had been
supposed that the fat on our bodies
stayed put long time where it was
stored. 1t turns out after heavy
nitrogen experiments that while we
may not gain or lose any weight,
our fat particles are in constant and
relatively rapid turnover all the
time. New ones come and old ones
constantly leave. Thus LIES proc

of the organism which appear most
inactive and most durable.
