WASHINGTON A visitor from
Mars, studying war and anti-War
hysteria in the United States today,
might have some startling observa-
tons to make.
He would certainly report, in his
letters to the folks back on Mars,
that the people of the good old U. s.
A. and its government as we'll were
very stupid in permitting extrane-
Gus issues to hold up their prepara-
tons to defend themselves against
attack.
He would be mystifed, for exam
pie, when he found out that the No. |
essential for warfare-explosives-
was being held up by controversy
over government ownership And
not government ownership NOW. but
the possibility of government own.
ership AFTER the war;
1t SO happens that explosives, ac-
cording to army and navy experts.
are tagging way behind airplanes,
ships and even tanks. Everybody
has known this for long time, as
matter of fact ever since the war
in Europe broke out. Democracies
move slowly, we are told, and there
was little hurry to do anything about
it.
MODERNIZE MUSCLE SHOALS
But recently the government de-
cided to do something about that
] old-fashioned nitrate plant at Mus
i Gle Shoals. Everyone knew the proc
esses for which that plant was in
tended were obsolete, but it seemed
a simple matter to bring them up to
date. 1t was, but it could be done
only with materials the duPonts
could supply, if it were to be done
quickly. The duPonts were eager
TO help, BUT-they wanted assur-
ances that after the war was over
the government would not use the
duPont's own devices to produce
cheap nitrates for fertilizers, ane
thus compete with the duPonts' owl
fertilizer business.
But no! The government had n
idea of giving any such assurances
II wanted the duPonts to furnis
the very elements the government
has needed, all these years, to G
into competition with the duPonts.
So that particular supply OF nj
trates for explosives was held up
The new machinery to modernlz
the Muscle Shoals plant is now aol
order"
Then there is another case Whic
would puzzle our Marian visitor
For airplanes aluminium is of tn
essence. The O. r. Nj. has JUS
issued priorities TO restrict othe
than military uses of this metal. TIL

British Planes Garry
Large Cannon

To anyone who has ridden in an
airplane, the notion of shooting a
cannon from one conjures up all
sorts OF horrible possibilities. Per-
haps very few people for that rea-
son realize the size of the cannon
actually in use by the British in air
plane fighting. The newer fighting
planes made in the United States
for the British must of course be
equipped to carry these guns.
Actually the cannon used by the
British so far are of 37-millimeter
caliber. That means that the dame
ter of the projectile is approximate
ly liz inches.
Thus the shell fired by 37-milli-
meter cannon from an airplane IS
nearly five times the diameter OF
the rife or machine-gun bullet.
EXPERIMENT WITH rs
1t is still more impressive to real
ize that this cannon is almost half
the size Of the favorite feldpiece OF
the French army, the famous ''75. "
Actually, our own army has fired a
75-millirneter gun from an airplane.
incidentally, while no official an
nouncement has been made that the
army plans using 75s in airplanes as
regular practice, there was OF
course ne earthly point in making
the experiment If the ordnance Off
GERS did not have that in mind. Some
of the bigger OF the new airplanes
it is estimated, could be equipped
with them to advantage, and prob
ably are being SO equipped.
II is also assured here, by ex
perts, though there has been no an
nouncement from London on THU
point either, that the new big Brit
ish fighters are being equipped with
75s.
Obviously this sort Of information
is military secret OF the deepes
nature, never to be disclosed unit
the full advantage OF its surprise
nature has been attained in actua
fighting.

for the sinful life of him he couldn't find the

they roamed the dark alleys like wolves; chased

'Hows about nice drink the house.,

The rest of the guys in the saloon would make
bets how long it took him to drop Then the
trapdoor would open and he'd find himself In a
cellar with few suckers, waiting for
beating up and the crimps boat
Lots of the other crimps followed her idea.
Shanghai Brown had one of his places over the
Bay and when the trapdoor opened the sucker
went into the drink to be picked up half drowned
and mighty pleased to find himself aboard ship.
Horseshoe Brown Johnny Devine, Shanghai
Kelley, all had the same idea and Kelley was
the originator of the Shanghai Smoke; cigar
soaked in opium. Oh fine lot they were It
was Miss Piggott who got the idea of sending
straw dummies aboard ship when she couldn't
find men,
Shanghai Kelley pulled one of the fastest
stunts San Francisco ever saw He wanted 40
men for the ship Refer of New York, which lay
off Santa Barbara
Now this was slack time and lady named
Mag the Hag had taken the last lot of buckos
Gil tell you more about her soon). All the
Coast boys knew Kelley was on the lookout and
they were watching their steps. But Kelley lay
low until day before the Refer was due to sail.
Then he announced that it his birthday. and
every husky man who came to his bar was invited
to be at the wharf next morning to go for picnic
across the Bay.
He got about forty huskies and then he in
vted some of his particular pals, runners ALL
with handspikes and brass knucks in every pocket
to say nothing of few knives and derringer
pistols
There was plenty of them. so they didn't
worry much about meeting Kelley at the wharf.
And sure enough there he was, and astern of him
the Goliah, paddle steamer, was tied up
We'll. here are, my DULLES" he bawled.
"All aboard and there's plenty to eat-and drink.
They went aboard and off she steamed The
waterfront loafers watched her disappear in the
mist and that was that.
Late that night she returned, and there was
more excitement than before she left. Shanghai
Kelley and his men were heroes!
Seems that as the Goah was coming back
from the picnic the Yankee Blade square rigger,
went ashore off Conception Point, and Kelley and
his men brought off the passengers and crew and
landed them safely.
Well sir, there was so much Robbery about
the rescue that noticed who got off the
Goliah. But few days later it was found out
that about forty of the waterfront plug-uglies
were missing
What happened? Well that paddle steamer
took off nice as pie and there were plenty of gals
for all and plenty of booze. Kelley himself was

Keep yer course" grinned Johnny. Every

He hacked the pigtail off the Chinese Oh
yes, all Chinese wore them in those days.
Here, gimme some fish glue"
He pasted some hair over the mouth and chin
but he still looked like dead Chinese. There
was deep wound in his neck where Ratchet
man had got him and Johnny tied muffer over
that. Then he lowered him into a rowboat with
the five others who were lying there full of Shang

he was afraid he'd have to sail ort-handed. The

he squaed.
Johnny grinned and those five men were
hoisted on deck like empty sacks. The dead man
was lifted aboard Johnny keeping between him
and the captain.
Fine lotta corpses you brought" sneered the
old man, and Johnny near tainted. Get EN- into
the fo'c'se."
They dragged EN- for'rard and Johnny care
fully wrapped the corpse in blanket and slowed
him in bunk
But the captains wife was looking things over
before paying Johnny off She jerked the blanket
off the Chinese.
''Merciful God. what's that" she screeched.
Look out ma am" said Johnny. That's
sailor, and he's drunk. He's black Irish and you
know how bad them boys are when they're dis

But that eagle-eyed woman wasn't scared. She
bent closer.
