Army Names Flying Field
For Senator Sheppard

The War Department departed
from long established policy today
by naming the proposed new Air
Corps flying field at Wichita Falls,
Tex. the Sheppard Field in honor
of the late Senator Sheppard of
Texas, who was chairman of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee.
Acting upon the suggestion Of the
Wichita Falls Daily Times and
Record News, Gen. George c. Mar
shall, Army chief of staff, said its
recommendation was one that could
hardly be overlooked in view of
Senator Sheppard's notable service
in the cause of national defense.
The War Department policy for
many years has named flying fields
after deceased flying officers who
served with distinction in the World
War, Gen. Marshall pointed out,
were pioneers of aviation, or who
performed other meritorious services.
Regardless Of this policy" Gen.
Marshall informed the newspaper,
"the long and distinguished service
rendered by Senator Sheppard in
the cause of national defense pre-
sents a claim that cannot be ignored
and for which the naming of a new
air field in Texas is small but ap-
propriate recognition"

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Have you ever seen pale, trans
lucent chain travelling through the
water? The links or extensions are
individual lancelets. Why they have
developed the habit of forming a
"chain," then going along in swift
and unusual fashion, we shall not
know. 1t is their secret, and SO far
no one has been able to unravel the
mystery.
Back in 1774 these strange little
creatures were first reported to
science. Pallas. the scientist, made
his discovery when he found specl-
mems upon the coast of Cornwall
in England. He thought they were
some sort of snail and gave them
the name Limax lanceolatus. Later
investigation and research proved
him to be in error.
There is but one genus in the
United States. In the Chesapeake
localities many of them have been
found. The first ones were found
in the Chesapeake Bay by Rice in
1880. There is a scientific differ
ence in the lancelets of Chesapeake
Bay which sets them apart from all
others in America. This distinction
Is too fine to interest the average
person, who loves to know some
thing about the family life of fish
and whether they have any honest
to-goodness spunk or special mark
of greatness. That is all layman
cares to know.
The lancelet possesses an elongated
body, which is compressed and
tapering at both ends. The mouth
is mere longitudinal slit surround
ed by a fringe of cirri-could be
called a budding mustache! The
fins and the eyes are rudimentary
and each tiny lancelet is translu-
cent.
The home site of these strange,
wee creatures is in the sand. The
way this medium is entered is as
you ee-"head-on." So often. when

Further, they swim either on one
side or on their tummies, even on

Silk i'm War

Since international strife began

fiscating femininity's dearest and
sheerest garments.
When the men OF Greece
launched thousand ships TO bring
Helen back from Troy, tn {
daughters OF Pnam. Trojan king
gave their silk scarfs and robes tc
be raveled down and remover
into bow-strings for the Trojan
archers.
Silk in those dim days more
than 5000 years ago was neces.
sary for war because il was tho
only substance from which first.
class bow-strings could be male.
1t is strategically indispensable
today because il IS the only salts.
factory substance for making ar
ticles as important in the war OF
1941 as were bow-strings in the
days of King Priam.
Significance of silk in ultra.
modern, Streamlined war lies in
the fact that il is the only sub
stance generally recognized as
satisfactory for the making OF
parachutes. also for the powder
bags in which are packed the
charges for the big guns.

Super Motor
Tested at Ford S

After many months OF research
the Ford Motor Company today
rs testing a VIZ. liquid-cooled air
plane engine, which if successful
will be. ii is said, by far the great
est aircraft motor yet designed.
The engine, still in the expert
mental stage, is now running on
the testing block. When the tests
are completed and expected adj
justments made. the motor will be
turned over to the army air corps
for examination by its engineers.
Designers of the engine hope
that it will develop 1000 horse
power, nearly twice the power OF
the present stfeamlined liquid
cooled engines, including the
famous Rolls-Royce Merlin motor
In addition, the Ford engine is
expected to deliver maximum
horsepower up TO $500 feet. ar
