RAT BITES WOMAN ON CHIN
WHILE SHE WAS SOUND

rat that had bitten her on the chin.
Half stunned and frightened,
the woman staggered out of bed
with blood streaming from the
wound. She ran to her daughter in
the next room for assistance and
tainted. A physician was called who
administered first aid.

"Oh, My Estelle."
The telephone has been used
repeatedly in the works Of some song
writers including Charles X. Harris,
George M. Cohan, Joe Mccarthy,
Alfred Bryan, Jack Yellen, Roy Turk,
Gus Kahn and Irving Berlin. During
the last thirty years Berlin has
written at least dozen songs which
refer to the telephone.
Long distance, too, has been cele-
brated in song, as indicated by the
titles, "Hello Frisco!" "Hello Hawaii,
How are You?" "Hello Montreal"
"Hello Tokyo" "Hello Rome, I'm
Flying to You," "Long Distance
Please" and "When Long Distance
Said Hello"
In songs written during the World
War, the telephone theme also
appears, as in "Hello, Central, Give
Me No Mans Land" eve Want our
Daddy Back Home" and "Hello,
General Pershing."
Since telephone songs first made
their appearance in 1877, the out
standing rhyming combination has
been "alone" and Telephone" Songs
stressing loneliness and the "blues"
have friend of long standing in the
telephone because through it love
makes the world go round little
faster. That probably is why no other
invention in recent generations at
least has been so favored in song.

CROP INSURANCE POPULAR

A steady increase in participation
in the wheat crop insurance pro-
gram was shown by final 1941 sign
up figures released by the Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation. More
than 100000 contracts were written
on the 1941 harvest, with approx
mately $4,000 covering spring wheat
and $4,000 covering winter wheat.
This exceeds the sign-up of $1,000
in 1889, the first year of the pro-
gram, by considerable margin, and
also tops the 1910 participation of
$4,000.

TOO HOT TO HANDLE

Ever burn the third layer of skim
off trying to fry some fish over hot
campfire? We did this until a handy
kink came to our attention and now
we do not practice the harsher side
of our vocabulary so much and
there is a wicked smile of revenge
on our face when frying. Just punch
a hole in the center of tin or pap
er plate and slip it over the handle
of your FRYING pan. This will pro-
tect your hands from the heat of the
campfire and from hot, spattering
grease when frying.

WASHINGTON - One hushed-up sore spot in the dragging plane pro- gram is in armor protection = field that. like so many other avla- ton developments, originated in the United States but was left to others to exploit.
 Armor-plate protection for fight ing planes first saw the light of day in the Nicaraguan campaign against the rebel General Sandino during the Coolidge Administration. To protect themselves against snip CTS lurking ill the jungle, Marine Corps pilots equipped the under sides of their ships with makesnlft armor guards.
 Although crude, this protection saved more than one pilots life. But beyond this start, the Army and Navy did almost nothing. And it remained for the alert Nazls 10 develop the idea just as they did the Stuka dive bombers which originated with the U. s. Navy. As a result Nazi planes are among the best protected in the world.
 Simultaneously, the Nazis began increasing the caliber of their air plane guns in order to offset enemy armor plating Belatedly England turned to armor protection n d heavier guns but we did nothing regarding armor and very little -e- garding guns-until recently.
 As a result, the United States is now up against double bottle neck One is limited technical ex- perience on how to armor planes without diminishing speed and maneuverability. Two is lack of plant facilities to produce a light weight, bullet-resistant armor.
