He's pushed their program, any
way. He's altered army regula-
tons in a fashion to encourage avn
alton interest among groundlings
as well as among airmen them
selves. Obviously he wants all the
potential flyers he can get-not
alone professionals but also serv-
iceable amateurs, who can be re-
cruited in short order In emergen-
cies, and wished into professional
ranks.
The navy isn't as energetic yet.
Its duties are more of a technical
ity than the army's are, SO that its
personnel hasn't the time for extra
training along the additional avia-
ton line. Still. it's promoting air
mindedness likewise.
Some enthusiast predict that
military aviation will overshadow
the army and navy yet at the
present rate.

The tied-up fleet Of the Maritime

Announcement that the commits

an invitation 10 Britain to lay the

away.
Britain was high bidder some
time ago on IS vessels offered by
the commission from its tied-up
craft For some unaccountab.e
reason no awards have been made.
Evidently there is an understanding
between the governments that
Britain may have them when she

Oddly too, at the same time the
commission is selling out its tied-up
fleet, it is toying with the idea OF
speeding up its own merchant ship
building program, TO meet tde call
OF the Navy for vessels to convert

II would seem that the govern.
ment IS working toward a policy Of
creating new shipyards 70 handle
merchant shipbuilding for Britain

tablished yards would be used ex-
clusively for destroyer production.
II is generally conceded Britain
needs ships badly. American ship
yards will be OF little use in supply
ing that need for a long time 10

the Maritime Commission vessels
and the covert scheme TO induce
American shipping lines to turn IN

has always thought that life and
vigorous abundance over the earth
are associated with the sun.
Normal organic life depends on
the supply Of all the, suns rays.
We are inclined 10 think because
we hear so much of them that it
is the suns light rays that are
curative. But the heat rays also
have life-giving properties. They
draw the blood to the surface, and
there it can absorb the products
vitamins and life-giving hormones
of various kinds-which the skin
manufactures from the action of
tAs ultraviolet sun rays.
Beneficial Rays
About sixty per cent of sunlight
is due TO the infra-red ray. These
produce the warmth, the REDEEM
ing of the skin. But after moving
out of the sun, this reddening
quickly disappears. 1t is the ultra
violet rays that produce the per-
manent tanning. There are two
kinds of ultraviolet rays-sorfie
of longer wave length that pass
through ordinary window glass
and whose action on the body and
health is unknown. The shorter
ultraviolet rays do not pass
through ordinary window glass,
and they are the ones that pro-
duce Vitamin d and prevent rick
cts. The daily variation in the
occurrence of ultraviolet rays is
considerable-even in the summer
they are present in large quantity
only during the noon hours from
about ten am. to two pm.
In the winter. the ultraviolet
rays are minimal in quantity and
hardly present at all on cloudy
days. Smoke also filters them out.
So we must make the best of the
bright days at noontide in the
winter to catch them. 1t is espe-
cially important though for babies
to be exposed to what sun there is
this time of year, in order to avoid
the great spring disease of in
fants, ricketts,.
"Sorry, he never makes ap-
pointments," you will hear if you
call up some high powered doc
tors. Old Doctor Sun is one Of
these and since it is so, artificial
forms of sunlight radiation can
be obtained.
Lamps and Generators
Infra-red generators are used
for the heat-giving and reddening
(vaso-dilatation) effects. They
relieve pain in bursitis and muscu-
lar rheumatism, arthritis, neural
gia, sinusitis, etc.
Ultraviolet lamps are used for
their power to destroy bacteria,
their stimulative effect, but espe-
cially for the production of Vita
min D, the preventive of ricketts,.
We know they produce Vitamin D
in the body, possibly Vitamin A.
But there must be large number
of other stimulating substances
and hormones, still unknown to us,
necessary for the body's health,
that come from these long-revered
generous rays of the sun.
