BY the Associated Press.
Defense officials estimated today
that Congress has appropriated suffi-
cient funds to assure the aircraft
industry of plant expansions neces-
sary to reach a 1912 production
goal of $4,000 war planes a year.
When the $1,482 100000 defense
bill passed this week is signed by
President Roosevelt a total of S273,-
000, 900 will be available for that
purpose. Contracts for additional
facilities will be signed within two
weeks after the bill becomes law,
officials said.
Exactly how the money will be
spent, however, is yet to be decided.
Some OF it may be used to build
Government plans, or all of it may
be used to underwrite additions to
existing private factories.
5000 a Month by 1912.
The objective of the expansion
program, officials said, will be to
triple the present production rate
of planes and engines TO obtain a
monthly output of 5000 fighting
craft by April of 1912
Army officials estimated existing
airplane plant floor space at 10
000, 900 square feet. The defense bill
provides $50 900, 900 in cash and 500
600, 900 in contract authorizations
a total of $4,000 .O00-which will
add about 15,500,000 square feet.
From previous appropriations for
munitions plant expansion, the
Army has set aside S93000000 in a
reserve for aircraft factories. which
would add 100000 square feet more,
at the above rate.
All told. those expansions would
give the industry $4,000 900 square
feet of factory room, plus tools, ma
chinery and utilities-more than
three times its existing capacity. not
including plant units being financed
by British money.
Maj. Gen. George H. Brett. chief
of the Army Air Corps materiel di-
vision, told House Appropriations
Subcommittee recently that the
$3.50, 100000 would enable the in
dustry Ito meet the program for
which Congress has appropriated
money"-that is. the l8,000-plane
Army program for which contract
signings were completed this week.
r. F. c. Helps Plants.
Experts said that out of the neces-
sity for delivering these planes on
schedule grew the industry's goal
of rate Of 5000 month by April
l942.
Most of the private plant addi-
tons, manufacturers are reported
to have advised the War Depart
ment. will be financed initially by
the Reconstruction Finance Corp. or
by banks. The manufacturers will
put up Government contracts as
their guarantees, and the War De-
partment then will repay the costs
over a five-year period at 20 per
cent year.
Such a repayment plan, which
would give a manufacturer the
option of buying the plant at ap-
praised value at the end of five
years. has been drafted by the De-
Tense Commission. to which Con-
gress gave responsibility for allocat-
ing the $50, 0OO, 900 fund.
Firms able to do so may use their
own resources to expand their plants,
leaving Government money for
others.

For First Release of Operas

'Cormen' Available in DoubIe-Fuced Records

The lobby of The Evening Star
veritable concert hall today as The
Star launched the distribution OF
the first of u immortal operas to

Scores of music lovers, anxious to
be among the first to take advantage

TO the lifting strains of Bizet's Car
men" as clerks gave demonstrations
of the recordings of this masterful
opera, the initial offering of the
music appreciation program. In
the background of the booth were
paintings of scenes from the operas
included in the offer.
Three Double-Faced Records.
The scene was reminiscent of the
opening day of The Stars first music
appreciation campaign in February,
1899, when hundreds of men, women
and children crowded the lobby to
obtain recordings of great SYM
phonic work It was the overWhelm-
ing success of that campaign which
led The Star to undertake sponsor
ship of the new program, which is
designed to widen the field of en-.
joyment of great operate master
pieces.
The album of Carmen" consists of
three 12-inch double-faced records
which were made only few months
ago by world-famous singers, or
chestras and conductors. Each al
bum also contains a pamphlet writ
ten by Samuel Chotzinoff, noted
music critic, telling something OF
the life of the composer, Georges
Bizet, the story of Carmen" and CIV
ing a resume of the music on each
of the records
The first record of this skillfully
condensed version of Carmen" con-
tains the prelude to Act l." the
Fate music; the "Entr'ac to Act
o. "Habamera" and "Seguidille"
The beloved "Toreador Song" is one
of the high lights of the second rec
ord, and on the third are the
Flower Song" and the finale.

music appreciation counters today

NO SECRECY IN MODERN
MEDICINE

Up to the late eighteenth century
there was Just one school" or
system" of medicine, regular med
icine and 1t was not necessary to
characterize the methods then used
as any particular "pathy". Then
came Hahnemann with his unique
ideas-at a time when the profess
sion was bleeding everybody for
everything and administering enor-
nous doses of medicine on the gen.
eral principle that If a little proved
insufficient maybe q whale Of dose
would kill or cure. It was perhaps
natural, and speaks for the spark Of
common sense that still glowed un-
derneath the irrational surface, that
Hahnemann found plenty Of willing
converts to his new system, homeo-
pathy. The mere fact that one fea-
tlIre of the new school" Of practice
was the use of infinitesimal or
every minute doses instead Of the
extremely large doses Of medicine
then popular, in itself appealed to
the smoldering spark of common
sense.
Well, after enough followers had
embraced the Hahnemannian doc
trines they named the system or
method they elected to practice
homeopathy, which means treat
ment by remedies which produce in
healthy persons effects similar to
the symptoms Of the ailment to be
treated. It was more than three
centuries before Hahnemann that
John Haywood, according to dog
cared Bartlett, put the principle in
to these words: II pray thee let
me and my fellow have hare Of
the dog that bit us last night
bet many reader, like myself, has
assumed that Hahnemann coined
the familiar phrase, "a hair of the
dog that bites YOU"
Our own Oliver Wendell Holmes,
M. D., my patron saint and inspira-
ton, in lecture In Harvard Medi-
cal school, where the Autocrat was
an instructor in anatomy, got off
his much quoted crack at the peak
of homeopathy's popularity:
I firmly believe that If the
whole materia medica could be
sunk to the bottom of the sea, it
would be all the better for man.
kind and all the worse for the
fishes.
A little later a Bishop VIM. G..
Doane perpetrated this bit Of dog
gerel in the opposite vein:
Stir the mixture well lest it
prove inferior,
Then put half a drop into Lake
Superior.
Every other day take a drop in
water,
You'll be better soon, or at least
you oughter.
Practitioners following Hahne-
mann's theory more or less rigidly
soon discovered that the overdosed
public welcomed the new kind Of

GA. K)
Ans.-Your doctor was right-it

complex you prefer, as long as you
get enough. Unit for unit, yeast IS
as good as any other source. Only
you'd have to eat lot Of yeast to
get the 900 international units Of B
daily which one with diabetes
should take for few months If he
tries B at all. Supplementing the
restricted diet with vitamin B has
enabled many diabetes patients to
get along with less insulin. But that
is incidental. The main thing is
that diabetes patients are likely to
have unrecognized vitamin B and
perhaps other vitamin deficiencies
which must be corrected before the
patient can make Roadway.
