British-HeId Stocks

As time has gone by the way
in which the liquidation OF large
blocks of British-held stocks has
been absorbed. has become an
outstanding favorable indication.
To this. may be added the fact
that gradually the investment
market for new capital issues
has gained in strength. The
Financial Chronicle figures
that new money corporate IS
sues in March this year were
S86.000,000 AGAINST only S30,0Q0,-
600 a year ago
Gradually, despite strikes and
war threats business confidence
Is being restored. The defense
emergency is bound 10 shift the
emphasis from radicalism 10 com.
nonsense. from reform to eff
cheney. The nation is getting
ready to settle down to work. 1t
is getting rid of its Reds. The
President is calling for unity,
and has even recognized pub
licly the existence of Willkie At
last, ne appears to be about to
do something to check the
tendency 10 monopoly IN some
labor organizations.
And with this increasing con-
fdence, come the signs of grow
ing use of bank credit for bust

steadily increased. The turnover
of deposits has gained. Com

pig tn6t gives dlTCTdIt ucSISncTS
ideas that some day soon they
!. may know something about fly
ing and some day soon they may
start building themselves an air.
plane.
Think back, il you can, exactly
IA years. May of 1927. A young
airmail pilot whom no one ever
heard of before breezed out OF
the west in single-engined
monoplane called the Spirit of
st. Louis. That plane could
carry one-tenth of ton of cargo,
and it could fly at the incredible
speed of from 90 to 100 miles an
hour.
The pilot. young fellow call
ed Slim Lindbergh. could just
squeeze into the cabin with a
sandwich and letter Of intro
duction to an ambassador in
Paris. And he hoped the At
lantic to make the worlds larg-
est headlines since the armistice.
That old plane of Lindberg's
wouldn't make a good training
plane today. The superbomber
with its crew of 10, its 1000
gallon gas tank. its 25-station
telephone system, its piped oxy-
gen system, its capacity to carry
125 armed men -.
You can go on like this in
breath taking fashion for whole
pages. listing the things it can
do that no other plane could do
before. But to come TO the point
in Ia years an airplane has
been designed that has 20 times
the carrying capacity, twice the
speed, four times the range, ten
times the horsepower that Lind
bergh's plane had--and it's only
the beginning. II as much pro-
gress could be made in the next
Ia years, flying TO the moon
would be close to reality and
Jules Verne would have been
made a realist.
AVIATION SCIENCE
MOVES SWIFTLY
II isn't too much, even, to say
that the super-bomber is obso-
lete before il has left the ground.
Lessons have been learned. just
in its building. Already the de-
signers are talking about 100-ton
bombcrs, 20 per cent bigger than
the Bio, and they're figuring on
how they can give it specd--thc
one attribute which the super
bomber does not have. For Bio
will do only measly slowpoke
200 miles an hour and that
would make IL duck soup for
most of the 300-mile combat and
pursuitships that arc flying over
Europe these days. The Offset
which the super-bombcr has to
rely on against such speed is
its armor and its offensive
aerial cannon, the most secret
secrets of its sccrctivc existence.
II the story of what's ahead
for aviation makes you dizzy,
the story behind the Bio is no
less fascinating. II Is buried here
in Washington. in War Depart
mcnt files. The idea for super
bombers Is ut least FL years old,
for II was right after the last war
that u. S. Army air strategists
began to realize that bombers
must have long range and be
able to 60 unprotected 10 their
distant detectives.

ROSEVILLE TAKES ARMADA
ARMADA - Roseville came
back here yesterday after its
defeat by Mount Clemens in the
county opener last week, to take
q 8 to 2 decision from Armada.
Roseville batters pounded two
Armada hurlers for II hits
while Thimm held Armada to
six scattered blows.
Roseville first scored in the
third inning, bringing home two
runs. Three more runs were
scored in the fifth and three
more in the sixth when Ruyle
was relieved by Emmery. En-:
merry gave up one run but no hits
in the last three and Z half inn
ings.

Listening, Paula found herself
paying no attention to Kilo's
words. but giving her whole at
tention to the deep, husky voice.
There was witchery in 1t, an al
most hypnotic quality.
Presently Kilo finished and
called to Chris. Bill jerks
squeezed Paula's arm. She heard
him fumbling with his camera.
She saw lantern light reflected In
the fash bulb as he raised it,
Paula grabbed for the camera,
but jerks was too quick for hV.
He gave her shove that sent
her spinning from the hiding
place.
She was on her feet in an i'm
slant, running to warn Chris.
Just as she reached him the fash
bulb exploded. Pademonium
held the barn, then there was .
concerted rush for Bill jerks,
but Bill jerks was gone.
Chris faced Paula, his mouth
tight-set. "A dirty trick like this
seems a little out of your line,
Paulie."
She said, Chris, you-you
don't think ! tried to pro-
tect YOU"
Kilo Sherwood's laugh was
scornful, angry.

have paid for itself already, in
the improvements it has de-
veloped for other planes.
Already announcements have
been made of the 16 new models
of military aircraft under de-
velopment in factories scattered
about the country-planes so
revolutionary in their design and
improvements that they make
obsolete the models now under
production. Many of these un-
born planes owe something to
old mother Bio.
There are two other secrets
besides armor and armament,
that Bio must conceal. One is
its cost, and the other is the man
who deserves most credit for her
design and building.
The cost is kept secret because
obviously, it is far beyond what
any other plane ever cost before.
The years of planning before the
hangar to house it was built. The
painstaking mock-up, the build
ing of parts in wood before they
were built of metal, the six years
of actual construction-all rep
resent a cost that can't fairly
be put against this one plane,
the experimental models for all
bigger and still bigger planes
that are to come.
And as for the designer-it
was designed by the army. Yes,
the whole army is given the
credit, but il it must be narrow
ed down more than that, dip
your wings particularly to the
Aircraft branch of the Materials
Division of the Army Air Corps,
which has been headed through
out this period of development
by 1t. Col. James G.. Taylor.
Those boys have lived with their
dream for six years.
The exact day when Bio
takes the air Is uncertain. Insur-
ance companies, unfamiliar with
the risks in flying this big bird,
have insisted that for maiden
fight there must be 25mile
ground wind to take of in. But
when they do give her the gun
and you thrill with the army de-
signers and the Douglas aircraft
builders, think a little bit about
big. cigar-smoking Col. Stanley
Umstead, of the army air corps,
who has perhaps flown more
types of ship than any pilot
alive. You can envision him as
the man who is plotting the first
airplane of tomorrow, the fore
