New Plastic Material For Planes Is Stronger but Lighter Than Aluminium
HIrACLrNrCTOM

WASHINGTON - One war plant in which the President particularly interested on his recent tour of the country the Higgins shpyard in New Orleans, which turns out the famous landing boats used by the U. s. Marines in the Solomon Islands
 Higgins proposed yard for building big freight CTS stopped by the Maritime Commission But his yard for building small boats has continued in full swing, and the President expressed amazenent and pleasure as he drove between rows of machines
 Beside him famous Andrew Jackson Hggins pioneer small boat builder On the other side sat Rear Admiral Frank T. Leighton, commander of the 9th Naval District
 AS they drove through the yard a superintendent handed Higgins strange tube made of wood, yard long and six inches in diameter Handing to Roose- welt, Higgins said
 'This is what the airplanes of the future will be made of, MT President"
 Roosevelt examined 1t curiously It was made of thin strips of wood almost reeds together and covered with plastic substance which gives it extra ordinary strength
 Its must stronger than alumnum,' Higgins ex- pIained, but doesn't weigh as much
 The President expressed anazement, handed the tube to Admiral Leighton, who examined it skep- tically. "Humph!' he grunted, T don't think much of it.
 You wouldn't" jibed the President, "you're the Navy"
 Plastic Planes
 Since then Higgins has explained to the Army Air Corps how giant arplanes be made of this new sub stance, part wood part plastic. With this new plastic ceVel0PeC 0y Harry AtWood, IL Is possible to turn eX eels.or, shavings seaWeed into hard, firm but lightweight, substance
 Higgins contends that even if there were no scar city of aluminium this wood plastic is better for cargo planes.

 So far, Army brass-hats remain skeptical have given Higgins the run-around However, Gen. Hap Arnold, head of the Air Corps has indicated that he may give the idea trial

/ Owe stories written by men outsell love
~ stories written by women. So says Rudolph
Field, who has checked the matter extensively.
Seems reasonable. Too many modern feminine
writer's have permitted what they call "sophisti-

The old fashioned type of love story is still
the most popular. Men know more about love

are.

Redskins Are to Face Football Aces in Condit,
Schwartz of Dodgers in Tilt Here Sunday

Redskin fans will see one of the
National Football Leagues finest
backs and a pretty clever end Sunday
when Brooklyn tramps into town to
help the Tribe lower the curtain on
one OF its most successful seasons.
Merle Condit is the back, and Per-
ry Schwartz, blond giant from the
University of California, is the wing
man who have distinguished them
selves this season. They gave the
Skins lot of trouble at Brooklyn
last month, and if they did it once
they can do it again.
Condit, who won his spurs at
Carnegie Tech and then broke into
pro football via Pittsburgh, ranks
second in the league in yards gained,
a commendable feat with a team
that ranks eighth in scoring. But
his role with the Dodgers goes be-
yond that of a mere ball toter. for

This season he has five intercept

on one occasion Condit. too, is a
constant threat on kickoffs. averag-
ing Is yards crack running them
back and several times almost get
ting away for the entire distance.
He has two field goals and 10 points
after touchdown to his credit, which
gives you a fair idea of his worth
to the team.
Condit. along with Schwartz and
Bruiser Kinard. has played some
what of an iron man role this sea-
son, not once being withdrawn be-
cause OF injury and seldom for rest.
The Redskins were unanimous in
voting Schwartz the toughest end
they had played against up until
the time they met Brooklyn in the
first game and, although they went
