Bomb Nozzle
Now Available

One manufacturer has provided
home owners with the means OF
fighting incendiaries, by bringing
out the Bomb Nozzle" which has
been specially designed for spray
ing fire bombs.
This nozzle Il small, light and
made Of tough. colorful plastic. 1t
fits the regular garden hose, and
breaks up the stream of water
into the fine, dense, cloud-lfke
spray recommended by military
authorities for fighting incendi-
aries. The nozzle Ia nonadjustable
80 that there Is no possibility OF
throwing a dangerous full stream
of water on the bomb.
The use Of fine spray of water
has been found very practical and
effective in combating incendiaries.
This spray does not extinguish the
bomb, but makes it burn itself out
more quickly. A bomb, for example
that would normally burn for IS
minutes, will burn out In two or
three minutes under q fine spray.
At the same time the spray vets

bomb 90 a. to prevent the spread

Novel Air Raid Plan

Traffic safety and protection
against possible air raids are the
twin detectives Of a novel plan
advanced here by Everett C. Burk-
halter, California assemblyman.
Burkhalter, in a letter to the Los
Angeles city council, suggests con-
struction Of pedestrian tunnels
near schools and at busy intersec-
tons, to serve as bomb shelters
and reduce traffic accidents in
volving school children and pedes-
trians."

600 Industries
Train 1900 TO
Protect Plants

For wartime plant protection,
400 representatives of manage
nent and labor from 600 Detroit
industries are being trained by a
committee working In conjunction
with the Detroit Office of Civilian
Defense.
In charge are Clarence E. Wor-
muth, manager of the Detroit In
dustriai Safety Council; John +.
McCauley, chief air raid warden
for plant protection of the Great
Lakes Steel Corporation; George
Adde's, secretary-treasury Of the
UAW-CIO; DR.. Paul T. Rankin,
representing the Detroit Board Of
Education, and Henry c. Reese.
director Of training for the Of
fee Of Civilian Defense.
The wartime plant protection
institute courses have been d.
vided into plans of protection for
both the plants and the personnel.
From there on, suggestions will be
solicited from industrial co-ordina-
tors. who have already established
protective systems In their plants.
UNIFORM PROTECTION
The task of co-ordinating the
protective services with the OCD
has been simplified and emphasis
was stressed On uniform plant
protection throughout metropoli-
tan Detroit.
A subcommittee Of plant per-
sonnet and protection specialists
coordinate and assist both defense
plants and nondefense plants In
setting up and developing plant
protective systems. This commit
tee includes Wormuth and Nc
Cauley of the Great Lakes Steel
Corporation, representing man.
agement: Doctor Rankin and
Reese representing the OCD. and
Adde's and one other representa-
tive OF labor will represent the
workers on this governing COM
mittee.
Facts disclosed that some ma
jor Industrial plants have COM
pleted protection arrangements
but that q large. majority Of the
plants are In dire need Of direc-
ton and training. BY having
equal representatives OF both fac
tons on the committee IL Il be-
lieved that labor and industry can
achieve harmony In securing the
maximum preparedness against
air raids.

A suggestion believe may be

or weary, not taking the interest in
things they formerly enjoyed doing,
inclined to doze more than q
healthy person should and some-
times inclined to be unduly melan-
choly or anhedonistic, that Is, unable
to enjoy themselves or incapable Of
feeling happy. What such folk need,
In q great many cases, Is an In
creased intake Of iodine. There are
foods which are rich in iodine
notably foods coming from the sea,
fish and shellfisf, but few people use
such foods freely in the daily diet
even when fresh sea foods are avail
able.
A simple way to make sure Of get
ting enough iodine Is to take O drop
or two of the ordinary tlncture Of
iodine--the brown liquid universal

for minor wounds, ETC., and carrying
a "Poison" label in some states,
although I have never heard Of an

being opened for travel all the way from
the depot at Baltimore to the foot OF
the Capitol Hill in this city.
"It was glorious sight to see four
trains of cars, with each its engine, ex-
tending altogether several hundred yards
in length, making their entry by this
new route, to the delight of thousands
of spectators in the grounds directly
north of the Capitol.
These cars, besides bringing back our
own mayor and members of the corpora
ton and city guests who went out to
meet them, brought about as many ladies
and gentlemen Of Baltimore as made
up the whole numbers of about thou
sand persons carried by the cars
These accompanied by two bands of
music, after debarking, marched in pro-
cession to Gadsby's and Browns Hotels,
at both of which sumptuous and bounte-
Gus entertainment was provided and
literally partaken Of.
The cars arrived at little before
o'clock, and at our friends from Balti-

lished in Georgetown from 1920 to 1887,
tells us under date Of 1885 that the loco
motive then operating between WASH
ington and Baltimore was named the
Arabian. In this connection it is known
that an engine called the Arabian, de-
signed by Phineas Davis and built by
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co. In
1884, was operated for while over the
line between here and Baltimore, and 1t
was this type of engine, with upright
boiler, that was followed by the building
of four locomotives previously mentioned
as having taken part in the first entrance
of the Iron Horse into Washington. An
interesting item about this early loco
motive says:
The Arabian ran with the Frederick
passenger train up to Plane No. /, SO
successive days, 80 miles day, without
lay-off or repairs of any kind, and this
was then considered to be something Of
record. Her daily expenses came to
S1325, divided in this fashion: One and
one fourth tons of coal at s6 ton; oil at
SO cents, the engineers wages, 81; the
fireman's, $3.50; an interest charge of
IS cents and contingency fund of 81.
1t was estimated that she did the work
each day that it would have required lib
horses to accomplish, and, of course, at
vastly less cost"
