DEARBORN, Mich. - This big
aerial dreadnaught coming out of
the clouds for a landing at Ford
Airport is the new Consolidated
B-24. 1t is regarded by the us.
Army as the worlds most formid-
able bomber. The Ford Motor
Company, under government con-
tract to produce sub-assemblies
and parts for five complete B-24D
bombers a day, is erecting an
s1S,O00,0OO plant for the job, 25
miles from here.
Henry Ford examined this huge
bomber when it visited Dearborn
recently. 1t weighs $4,000 pounds
loaded and carries four tons of
bombs at a speed of 300 miles an
hour. The ship has a cruising
range of 5000 miles.

TOY BALLOON GOES 60 MILES
Toy Balloon Sent Up at West Ches-

A toy balloon, released at Mar

Chester, Pa, recently, by Mathew
A. Lee, was picked up an hour
later on tennis court at Prince

ceived telephone call at 4.30 PM,
the same day, from E. Wilson

that the broken rubber balloon had
been found on his tennis court. Lee
sent the balloon into the air at $3.50

watching the firemen's parade saw
it soar out of sight. The casual ex-

Golden Text: Psalms 42:s. The
Lord will command his loving kind
ness in the daytime, and in the
night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my
life. A bible citation from the les
son-sermon: John 5: 10 and "a.
Then answered Jesus and said unto
them, Verify, verify, say unto you.
The Son can do nothing of himself,
but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth,
these also doeth the Son likewise.
"a. Verify, verify, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and be-
lieveth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come
into condemnation; but is passed
from death unto life. Correlative
from the Textbook, Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy: When it is
learned that disease cannot destroy
life, and that mortals are not saved
from sin or sickness by death, this
understanding will quicken into
newness of life. =. The relinquish-
ment of all faith in death and also
of the fear of its sting would raise
the standard of health and morals
far beyond its present elevation,
and would enable us to hold the
banner of Christianity aloft with
unflinching faith in God, in Life
eternal.

INTERESTING SKETCHES

Still on the subject of animals,
there was Mischka, the little sun
bear at the Central park zoo.
Mischka was the most popular ami
NAL in the park. There were Misch-
ka fans who made daily visits just
to see Mischka perform. The little
bear was always ready to oblige.
He had a whole repertory of tricks,
from climbing stunts to teasing den
mates. A born comic, his sense of
timing was equal to that of top
fight comedian. On occasions, his
tricks annoyed the keepers. He
seemed to be able to climb out of
anything. He never did any harm
after one of his escapes but merely
wandered around as if he were out
sightseeing. Keepers, however,
were irked because it was their duty
to get Mischka back into the den
and he was hard to catch.
Recipients of Jimmy Hines boun.
ty never asked where the money
came from. 1t was all right with
them so long as their wants were
filed. To them, their. leader was
more or less of a patron saint. If
he wanted little thing like a vote,
that was all right. Even today,
there are many who believe that
Jimmy Hines was unjustly convict
ed. But he is behind gray stone
walls in a gray uniform and instead
of being Jimmy Hines, he's No.

Chairman McCarran Of the

last night to renew his efforts to
have the National Airport at

ings in Arlington County.
Jurisdiction over the airport has
got to be cleared up and cleared up

of this important air terminal will

Unit Control Sought
In Prince Georges
Drainage Problem
Assembly May Be Asked
To Appoint Authority
For Whole County

Possible legislative action at the
next session of the Maryland Cen
eral Assembly to set up central
authority which would handle drain
age problems in Prince Georges
County was foreseen yesterday when
it was learned that the County Com
missioners have requested a con-
ference with representatives Of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission on drainage. The meet
ing is expected to take place within
two weeks.
In a letter to the sanitary COM
mission, William A. Carson. presi-
missioners, pointed out that some
communities provide for drainage
while others do not, and that no
standards have been set up for the
whole metropolitan district. Harry
R. Hall, chief engineer of the COM
mission said yesterday that the
whole metropolitan district should
be considered in any drainage plan.
At present, each community settles
its own drainage problem. often
without regard to the needs OF the
adjoining towns.
ANY new organization to handle
drainage of the whole metropolitan
district of Prince Georges and Mont
gomery County should be ad-
ministered by an agency that will
pay no attention to town bound
aries" Mr.. Hall said.
Mr.. Hall declined to say whether
or not the work should be handled
by the sanitary commission. AS
sumption of such duties would mean
an increase of about 20 per cent in
the commissions work, he added.
