In the case of England, it is of
further prime importance to have

this has been largely achieved is the
hazardous task of landing troops
likely to be tackled.

was guilty Of unfair competition.
The McGraw-Hill firm filed q
complaint against American Avia-
ton Associates. Inc, and its presi-
dent, Wayne w. Parrish, in District
Court, but that tribunal dismissed
it, holding that other magazines
have used the word aviation as
dominant and descriptive part of
their titles: that both magazines
have a selective and discriminating
clientele, who would not be likely
to become confused, and that "the
two publications are not similar in
cover, design, formal, general ap-
pearance or content"
"A publisher, though he has reg
istered trademark, can not be pro-
tected from all of the inadequacies
of human thought and memory"

cessful business manager in blitz-

and an army captain.
All this is in addition to the quail

He has to operate shelter In
which many employees, caught by
the raids, must sleep at night. That
brings up problems of heating, light
ing, ventilation, cot assignments,
laundry and sanitary conveniences.
Facilities for Tea.
Also involved is supply of ele-
mentary cooking arrangements, par
ticularly for making tea. An army
may march on its stomach, but
English citizen defenders are fueled
by tea and require much sleep.
These would not be difficult prob
lens under normal circumstances,
but uncertain water supplies for
boilers make a reserve heating sys-

Frequent loss of electric power
means an alternate lighting system
must be provided.
Underground shelters are places
pressed into service for their pur-
pose, not designed for 1t, so they
are often neither well dried nor we'll

And many quarrel over beds
develops among people whose nerves
are strained and whose nights are,
at best, too wakeful.
The qualifications of a building
