Aircraft Plants
ToSpeed Work Of

Britain Will Benefit
By Expansion Paid for
By L. S. Government

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.
(UP) : Americas aircraft
industry soon may be called
upon to shoulder production
orders for $4,000 more war
planes as result of army plans
for 10000 additional bombers and
a new British request for the same
number of aircraft, defense sources
revealed today.
British officials said Britain
would have to provide comparative
ly little capital for plant expansion
to take care of their new needs
here. They indicated that they have
been assured that the plant en-
largement program contemplated by
this government would be sufficient
to handle both the British and
American orders.
The administration contemplates
the construction of 16 or II adj
tional aircraft plants. Contracts
arranging for the financing of four
of these plants have already been
signed. Contracts for the remainder
may be made within the next fort
night.
Most Of the new planes sought
by the British, officials said, will
be long range heavy bombers. These
will be needed, they said, for the
day promised by Prime Minister
Winston Churchill when the Brit
ish will take the offensive in the
air war against Germany.
Reports persisted that the Brit
ish soon would be sold some of the
army's four-engined flying for
tresSeS."
These flying fortresses' are OF
the earlier series ordered by the
army and lack rear gun facilities

The PROSTATE figure was swath-

How is she?' Jack asked and
the internes replied:
Zine, everything's all right!'
Relieved, Jack walked along be-

the operation, They wheeled down
several long corridors and all the

wheeled the patient in. Jack helped

UNEMPLOYMENT
It is generally concluded that un-
employment is an important causa-
tive factor in vagrancy and in crime
against property. Its influence on
other offences, however, is compar-
atively Slight and but occasionally
seen. The national Commission on
Law Observance and Enforcement
wrote: If nation or community
wishes to approach more and more
closely toward law observance and
enforcement, the first answer sug-
gested by the data at hand is secur-
ity of employment. This means re-

IN Germany, he told members of the

last night. The German people are
living on an unbalanced diet, how
ever, he declared.
During his stay there, Mr.. Stod-
dard gained II pounds, he pointed
out, but the fact that he has since
lost some Of that weight indicated
TO him that there was an over

God The Preseruer Of
Man. Is Sermon Topic

God the Preserver Of Man.
was the subject of the lesson-ser-
mon in all Christian Science
churches and societies yesterday.
The Golden Text Was from Pro-
verbs 2:6, 8. THE Lord giveth
wisdom: out of his mouth cometh
knowledge and understanding. ...
He keepeth the paths of judge
ment, and preserveth the way Of
his saints.
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible: Then
shall judgement dwell in the will
derness, and righteousness remain
in the fruitful field. And the work
Of righteousness shall be peace;
and the effect of righteousness
quietness and assurance for ever.
And my people shall dwell in a
peaceable habitation, and in sure
dwellings,, and in quiet resting
Places" isaiah 2 :16-18).
The lesson-sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures, by Mary Baker Eddy. MAN
understands spiritual existence in
proportion as his treasures of Truth
and Love are enlarged. Mortals
must gravitate Godward, their af-
fections and aims grow spiritual,
they must near the broader in
terpretations of being, and gain
some proper sense of the infinite,
in order that sin and mortality
may be put off. This scientific
sense of being, forsaking matter
for Spirit, by no means suggests
mans absorption into Deity and
the loss OF his identity, but confers
upon man enlarged individuality.

action, a more expansive love, a
higher and more permanent
