MODEL BUILDING IS TRAINING.
Recently. when the United States
Civil Service advertised an opening
for an aircraft model maker at the
research laboratory of the National
Advisory Committee for Aviation at
Langley Field, two points were en-
phasized. One was that the appli-
cant must have training in model
making to exact scale. The other
was that the applicant must have
constructed at least one successful
fiying model airplane which had
been entered in formal competi-
ton.
There were other qualifications
but I mention these two points TO
illustrate the Importance of model
building.
Again and again I have listened
to personnel directors, interviewing
applicants for airline or factory po-
Sitions.

ask. and then as quickly he will add
What have you done in the model

In an address delivered at the
second annual air youth dinner

Federal Security Agency, said:

Traps, concentration camps, poi
son, brute strength and deadly
mechanical units are all used in
our country's oldest naval war.
Strangest of all, the Army, rather
than our sea forces. is carrying on
this fight to a finish in the waters
of peaceful Florida. The enemv IS
Piaropus CraSsipes. which sounds
like the name OF some foreign nftn
columnist but isn't. The foe is
tender, beautiful water plant, COM
monty called the water hyacinth,
which you've probably seen on dis
play in your local dime store. Peo-
pie use them to beautify gold
fish aouariums. The war is costing
several hundred thousand dollars a
year.
Visitors to Florida are always de-
lighted by the beautiful sight of the
great masses of green foliage topped
with lovely lavender flowers that
cover many Florida streams and
lakes. Floridians, particularly II
they're fishermen or boatmen, de-
spise them, for they block naviga-
ton more effectively than a sub
marine net.
Fighting the spread Of hyacinths
is a sea fight you'd think would be
carried on by our Navy. But main
tenance of navigation in inland wa
ters is a responsibility of the United
States Army engineers. That's how
the Army got mixed up in a naval
war.
Water hyacinths look mighty ten
der. In fact, you can easily pull a
plant to pieces with your fingers.
But nature has made the water
hyacinth so that it is hard to beat
in its native element. Each leaf
stalk forms a float to keep the
plant on the surface. Long. flbrous
roots reach far down into the water
to keep the plant supplied with food
Runners bud out all around a leaf
stalk. forming dozens of new plants
Plants intertwine, making great
RATS that will hold up a mans
weight and sometimes cover hun
dreds of acres of river surface. A
single young plant a few inches
across will grow in a few months to
a mass 5 or 6 feet in diameter.
Running hyacinth blockade
looks easy until you try it. Your
rowboat cuts right into the plant
raft, and you begin to think that
all the talk about the ''hyacinth
nuisance" is silly. The plants let
your boat in, but they close around
1t and you can't get In or out. Row.
ing is impossible, because they clog
the oars. When you try to pole the
boat, you find the whole raft NOV
ing, with you and the boat stuck
in the center. Eventually you do
fight your way out. but it's with the
determination never to get caught
again.
Steamers and motor boats don't
have much better luck. A few min
utes after bucking a hyacinth raft
their propellers are so tightly
wrapped in plants that they are
useless. Some one must dive over
board with a knife in his teeth to
cut the propeller free. Cargo-boat
owners plying the st. Johns, Flor
ida's largest river, lost lot Of
money and many customers because
they were delayed so often by hya-
cinths. Appeals to Congress brought
the Army to the rescue.
1t looked like an easy campaign
to the engineers until they really
got into it. The best way to kill

Money obtained by the sale of a

needed for the construction of his
present boat He obtained the plan
for the craft from popular maya
zine. and last September started
building the form. employing red
wood and oak as the lumber for the

To bend the oak ribs he uses an
ingenious steaming device The long
rib is slipped into an iron pipe
plugged at one end, filled with water
and heated in the furnace. When
the water boils the wood softens to
permit shaping.
At first Philips older brothers
aided him in the construction of the
boat, but soon gave up because OF
lack of time. But Philip is still
working, and hopes soon to be able
to transport 1t to their summer

hyacinths is to pull them out Of the
water and let them dry up on shore,
where they form valuable humus.
This method failed because there
we're thousands of acres of water
hyacinths and they grew faster
than they could be pulled out.
Beaten in their concentration
camp" drive on the plants, the
Army scrapped all pity and turned
to chemical warfare.
Thousands of pounds Of poison
were sprayed on the hyacinths and
it worked like charm. The plants
couldn't take it, and the Army got
ready to put out victory bulle-
tin. Before it could celebrate, pla-
toons of angry cattlemen were after
it waving bills for damages. Cattle
are fond of hyacinths and will
even swim out after them. Chem
icals killed the plants but they also
killed the COWS. So chemical war
fare was abandoned.
Water hyacinths can't stand salt
water, so the next attack was made
by keeping them cut loose in the
rivers so they would float down 10
the ocean. Thousands of acres OF
hyacinths were killed this way. and
again the Army thought it had the
battle won. Then citizens of sea
port cities began to complain that
they couldn't stand the stencil OF
the dead hyacinths that piled up
in the harbors and washed in and
out with the tides.
Turning to the latest means OF
warfare, the Army now uses mech
anized fighters. Small, shallow
draft barges are armed across their
bows with a battery of motor
driven buzzsaws. These seagoing
tanks cut through the densest hya-
cinth RATS. The plants are chopped
so fine that there is nothing left
to start new ones growing. Great
traps of woven wire on piling have
been set up in the lakes through
which the St. Johns River flows
Hyacinths are caught in these and
held until the tanks can be sent tc
blitzkrieg them.
Engineer officers admit that Pi-
aropus CraSsipes is one of the gam
est fighters they have ever met and
that all they hope to do is to keep the
hyacinths in check enough so that
boats can navigate the rivers.
