ONLY A HUGE AIR FORCE
CAN SAVE US

We are living in a crazy world.
When we look uacK at the time OF
Napoleon ana read OF his exploits
we cannot avoid comparing the two
periods. Hitter with his graSping am
bition and ms determination to make
Germany the ruler of Europe Ma
poleon had the same ambition, but
he met his Waterloo.
But now we nave to deal with a
new force in warfare. Hitler already
has several victories credited to him.
When Chamberlain conferred with
him at Munich what was the
source of his victory on that OccaS-
sion?
1t was the German air force.
Ten thousand planes, and the abili-
ty to turn OFT new ones at a thous-
and a month. Chamberlain had this
information before he met Hitler at
Munich; and although some of his
critics might MAINTAIN that he show
cd a craven spirit on that occasion,
when the actual situation is known
his attitude can be highly commend
ed.
Future wars will be won or lost
in the air We must have an air
force that will adequately defend
our country. And we must enthusias-
tically commend President RoOSe-
velt'S plan to give us this protection.
We have the Atlantic and the
Pacific coast lines, Alaska, Hawaii,
and the Philippines to protect.
Both England and France are rap
idly expanding their air forces. They
are buying thousands of planes in
this country, and although some of
our people seem to think that our
factories should be devoted entirely
to building planes for this country,
any additional manufacturing facili-
ties that we acquire in building
planes for other countries would ul-
timately be to our advantage.
Competent authorities agree unan-
imously that our national defense
facilities especially in the air
are woefully inadequate: and as
the nation which gave birth to the
flying machine, it is ironical that we
should be sixth in the world air
fighting power. Germany, Russia.
Italy, Great Britain, and France all
lead this country by wide margin.
We are superior only in the quality
OF the planes we provide.
When England and France allowed
Hitler to assume the role of dictator
at Munich, the officials of both of
these countries were aware that
within a few brief hours, had they
decided to 20 to war and had Hitler
desired to fight, thousands of planes
would have darkened the skies and
released tons Of death-dealing bombs
over London and Paris.
Large sections of these great cities
together with other important CEN
ters, would have been in smoldering
RUNS, with thousands of innocent
noncombatant5 l. lribly mangled in
death, almost before the fighting
forces OF these countries could get in
to action. Those fortunate enough to
escape the first raids would be 50
crazed with fear that the populace
generally would be panic-stricken
and thoroughly demoralized.
And it takes airplanes to repel an
attack from the skies.
Several foreign countries have
demonstrated their ability to flv
thousands of miles to our shores in
recent years. Their pay load was

Some very simple but effective lit
tie gadgets, made of live nodded
rubber, can take the slam out of
door closing. They are inserted in
the door jamb so that the door in
closing congresses the rubber to
form a pneumatic air pocket. This
brings the door in place quietly and
gently. The added cushioning power
eliminates both slams and latch rat
ties, since it insures proper tension
at all times.
To insert one of these door closers
in a wood frame, drill three holes
about one-quarter inch in diameter
and five-eighths inch deep; one
about inches from the top, one
inches from the bottom, the third
about 4 inches above the latch strike.
Then push the shank end of rub
ber silencer into each hole. This
takes little doing, but once they
are in, they are in to stay.
For metal door frames, drill a
hole one-quarter inch in diameter
through the metal in the same posi-
ton as for the wood frame.
The metal door silencer is round
with conical stud which is forced
through the hole and snaps into
place. The silencers are very mex
pensive-about 10 cents eaeh-and
come in black and white rubber.
They can be installed by any handy
man-no special mechanic required.

BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON,

Few of us stop to think about
how much the bathtub has changed
in recent years. Most of us, of
course, realize that the old claw
and-ball-footed bathtub went out
ages ago and that durable, colorful
finishes have become standard
equipment. But there are more
changes than these in bathtubs of
today. Looking at one of the new
models, we were struck with the
improvements which have taken
place, rather quietly, considering the
interest most people have in this
decorative necessity.
In the first place the traditional
scoop shape and high sides of the
bathtub Of only decade or so ago
have vanished. The new tub has a
squarer look, the walls coming down
to the floor of the tub perpendicu-
larly. Inner walls, too, have elm
mated hazardous curves, slippery
when wet. The sides are only 16
inches high, instead of conven-
tional 18 inches. Those 2 inches
make whale of a difference, es-
pecially with elderly people, chill
dren and invalids, to whom STEP
ping in and out of the tub is perilous.
Then the bottom of the tub has
an embossed pattern, giving it anti
skid qualities which complete its
safety features. The shower bath
er, who is always in hurry, can
step into a tub with this safety
bottom" without fear of slipping.
This new tub-and you'll have to
see it yourself in a showroom to
realize fully how good looking it is
is light weight, tipping the scales
at only 125 pounds instead of per-
haps $50 pounds. That's because it
is made of specially fabricated iron,
which comes to the factory in large
blanks and is shaped on presses.
This is different process from that
used to make cast-iron tubs, which
consists OF pouring molten iron into
molds. And lightweight fixtures
naturally are easier to install. These
are set into your bathroom by means
OF tiing-in flange which makes a
water seal to prevent unsightly
cracks in the wall over the tub. In
stallation costs, of course, vary in
different communities.
The vitreous enamel is sprayed on
tubs in several coats, each bonded
on by firing in huge ovens at tenn
perature of 1900 degrees F. The
makers of these tubs claim this
process makes for a uniform. glossy
finish. And all the enamel is of
the acid-resistant type, at no extra
charge.
These bathtubs are available in
white and colors. The colors are
pastel shades, not only pink and
blue and lilac, but definite colors
like robins egg blue, sandstone, ap-
pie green.
Slam! Somebody has gone out the
back door. No secrecy about it.
Every time the door closes there is
a reverberation throughout the
house. Does it get on your nerves?
Do you want to do something about
it?
