THINGS I NEVER KNEW TIL About the TransIantic Clipper
 Servicel
 That when war was declared somebody wanted to charter Clip per to bring back all the pedigreed dogs in Europe-because he knew that they would be killed if the war lasted very long. That another person wanted to charter a Clipper to bring back from the dangers of war all the great minds" of Europe That a group of wealthy Long Islanders wanted to charter a Clip per to fly down to South America and watch the battle of the Graf Spec" from the air. That none of these requests was fulfilled.
 That more than 25O scheduled crossings of the Atlantic have been made since service started last year. That the Atlantic is the toughest ocean to fly, although the Pacific is twice as big. That up until Pan American started its survey of flights three years ago, S6 previous flights had tried the Atlantic hop. That of the S6, only 10 got where tey were going. That 2S got across somewhere or other. That 8 haven't landed yet.
 That the champ scheduled Trans atlantic air passenger is youthful courier in the diplomatic service: that he has made 12 crossings; that he leaves LaGuardia Field one day and is back from Europe three days later: that two days later he starts the trip all over again; that he doesn't take 8 suitcase along any more-just a toothbrush and that little package of important papers.
 That some customers complain when a trip is five minutes late, after flying $500 miles over the Atlsntic stretch against headwinds . That these same customers might not even he able to get to the II. $. A. if 1t were not for the the Clipper service.
 That there is an average of 100,- GOO letters on each Clipper. That all the passengers must have Brit ish visas regardless of their destin- a ion in Europe. That you can or- der drinks on board the Clipper, but the airline does not encouraAe it, ana cnarges 75 cents for Martini;
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-05

that, even so, the line loses money on its bar.
 That although the Atlantic air- line is $500 miles long, it is being operated three times weekly with only three planes. That improved maintainance methods and exper- fence have reduced overhaul time from six to two days. That after newer and bigger Clippers are de- livered i'm the spring, there will be an arrival and departure of Euro- pean Clippers six days week.

St. Thomas Children of Mary will hold their third meeting of the year on Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock at the parish hall.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-05

That the gasoline alone a Clip.
 per carries-5,4 400 gallons--weighs 3 tons more than g regulation Douglas land transport fully loaded. That every Clipper al- ways arrives at its destination with five hours fuel reserve-enough to take 1t from New York to Miami .. That the Clipper can fly on any two of its four engines; that the engines can be repaired in flight.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-05

That Clipper Skipper w. A. Winston, who is a descendant of the family for which Winston Salem, North Carolina, was named, and Is a thorough Southern gen. tleman, Is kidded every time he has to fly the Yankee Clipper.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-05

That the Clipper does not fly on a beam; its course is computed by navigation. That navigator on one of the Clippers is now in Miami training 800 Army avlators in the art. That computations on the Clippers are in knots and kilos, in. stead of m. p. h. and pounds. .. That everything else has nautical terms.

New Type Dwelling
Developed by U. 5. H. A.

A new type of four-family null
tiple dwelling, designed in a novel
"cloverleaf" pattern affording many
desirable features not found in the
ordinary standardized row house, has
been developed by the United States
Housing Authority and submitted
to local agencies engaged in con-
struction of low-rent public hous-
Ing.
The innovation in group home
construction is dubbed the "Quatre-
foil Plan" by the technical division
OF the U. S. H. A. which developed
1t. Economy of construction and
maximum space for light and out
door gardens are features Of the
plan.
"The purpose of the plan is to
provide living conditions better than
the conventional row house design
at no more cost of construction"
Administrator Nathan Straus ex-
planned. This has been solved by
the striking device of offsetting the
dwelling units. The basic plan
calls for four two-story dwelling
units arranged around a central
axis. Each dwelling unit has three
exposures"
Mr.. Straus said a feature of the
plan Is the elimination of back
yards. Front and side yards are
provided, instead. The technicians
say this will lead to better upkeep
by tenants.
Technicians say the plan can be
utilized to accommodate as many as
% families per acre with great
variety in grouping. The cost per
unit is slightly in excess of the row
dwelling but Is offset by savings
resulting from the convenience of
heating and plumbing equipment
and the economical use of land.

Nothing short Of ble.barreled

I'm old enough to know that the day
Of miracles Is past. There's no use

When you lose your swing you might

AS one who sides with Demaret,
and who believes that he did the
sensible thing, let me point out that
his 81 Of yesterday, coupled with his
"a of the first round, would have
barred him from the Anal SO holes
anywya. He just beat the scoreboard
to the punch. Furthermore, Dema-
ret's gameness and sportsmanship
are above criticism. There isn't q
professional in the business who is
more respected by his fellow pros,
and those are the babies who know
the calibre Of golfers. He played
through and won the Augusta mas
ters' tournament when he was a sick
man. He has never been known to

tory. He has always played golf as

his attitude is, to my way Of think
ing, commendable.
He isn't the first man to withdraw
from major tournament, mind you.

mention another, Tommy Armour

Cleveland, June B. CUP)-Golf's
coyote critics yowled and yapped at
Jimmy Demaret today for his with
drawal from the national open
championship after a bad first round
and a worse second.
They pointed out that one OF the
opens most cherished traditions Is
that man must play through, no
matter how badly he is hitting the
ball. They intimated that Demaret
lacked the proper courage in the
face Of adversely, and that he had
let down those who had bet on him
to win COLTS No. l affair.
Shortly after he had failed to sign
his card after second round Of 81,
I relayed this criticism to Demaret.
He was astraddle the bench in front
of his locker in the Canterbury club,
q cold drink in his hands and grin
on his face.
IFS that the way some people feel?"
he asked. "Well, that's too bad. You
tell 'em this for me, will va? In the
first place, I paid my own may to
the tournament. Bought my own
ticket, made my own Pullman reser-
walton, bought my own balls, and
hirsd my own caddy. AS for those
whO bet on me, that's their own bus
iness. I didn't ask em to, and no
ono made 'em choose me-"
Jimmy swabbed himself with a few
towels and continued:
II want everybody to know this,
too. I make my living out Of golf,
but It Is still a game with me. When
ever 1t becomes work and not fun
I'll go into something else. And it's
no fun when you're hitting the ball
the way I was here at Canterbury.
don't know why I didn't hit 1t any
betterjust one of those things. After
all, o golfer isn't a machine. He has
bad days and good days just like
everybody else. Now, I know enough
about golf and enough about the
men have to play against to realize
when I am playing badly and they
are playing well. What was the use
of me cluttering up the field and
wearing myself out when by first
two rounds were 74-81? I could see
that Snead and Hogan and Little
and Guldahl and the others were on
their games and thmat I couldn't
beat them or even stay colse to 'en.
80 why hang around and suffer?
Why not go swimming or to the
