LONDON, March 14.-BritiSh
Royal Air Force bombers dropped
"a great weight" of high eXplo-
gives on the Rhineland city OF
Cologne last night in continual
ton of the new pre-spring aerial
offensive, the Air Ministry an
nounced today.
Many large fires we're left burning
In Cologne. the center Of maze Of
water highway and rail transporta-
ton lines, the Air Ministry said, by
this attack in force. Other raids on
Germany were implied in the state
ment that Cologne was the main
objective"
Four bombers were reported miss
ing.
"Airdromes in occupied territory
also were attacked during the night
and mines were laid in enemy wa
ters," the Air Ministry said.
Kiel Is Pounded.
- Cologne drew attention after r.
A. F. squadrons had blasted the
naval base at Kiel and pounded
the German occupied French coast
In night and daylight raids.
The German high command
said some casualties among the
civilian population were caused
by the raids. 1t said residen-
tial districts particularly were
bombed.
ID. N. B. described the action
as "harassing attacks over North
east Germany" which did some
damage to residential quarters. .
Cologne, however, is in Western
Germany. A fortified city of
10000 population, it lies only
about 40 miles from the Belgian
border.
The Swiss radio said Paris
had one-hour alarm. but there
was no indication that bombs
had fallen on the city. whose in
dustrial belt was the target of a
heavy British attack last week.
- Squadron after squadron of the
Royal Air Force swarmed over
Northern France yesterday in the
biggest daylight raids of the year
and eight German fighters were re-
ported destroyed in one fight alone,
at the industrial center of Haze
brouck.
The British anunounced the loss
Of f1ve of their own fighters dur
Ing the attack in force.
The biggest scrap of the day oc-
CURED over Hazebrouck, about mid
way between Armentieres and St.
.Omer, where the railroad yard of
Hazebrouck was the target of the
r. A. F. bombers.
Finucane Leads Attack.
The R. A. F.'s ace squa dron leader,
Paddy Finucane, just out of the hos
pital with wound stripes, led the at
tack, bagging two German planes
for a war total of rs.
Other bombers and fighters made
daylight assaults on the Boulogne
and Calais coastal areas and recon-
naissance planes secuted the Paris
industrial region.
Without pause, squadron after
squadron Of r. A. F. craft swept over
the Channel and heavily attacked
the Calais and Boulogne areas. The
roar of their bombs and the bark of
challenging anti-aircraft guns rolled
back across the -f1ecked waters
to the southeast coast.
Thus with rising fury the r. A. F.
was putting into action the words OF
Its chieftain. Sir Archibald Sinclair
secretary for air, last month that
1--WE must take Germany by the
throat and shake the strength out
OF her; We must start not in 1914
or 1943, but in 1912"

The increase in savings was at

Invention Cuts
Time Of War
Work Operation

A Detroit inventor today claimed
that he has perfected a simplified,
accurate layout and checking de-
vice that will cut the time required
in tool and die work for war prod
uction TO a fraction of that re-
quired by former methods, and
make possible the use Of unskilled
labor for work now requiring the
services of highly skilled crafts
men.
The inventor, Herman A. krue-
ger, who has spent four years OF
research in its development, said
that layout work that now Is done
in four hours can be completed in
less than ID minutes by its use.
DETAIL SGUARDED
The machine operates on the
principle of projecting measure
ments far smaller than the thick.
ness Of tissue paper on a ground
glass screen. Details are a close
ly guarded secret.
According TO the inventor, the
device will:
= Measure tolerances- so fine
that there is no means in the
world today accurate enough TO
check the accumulated error.
Q Simplify inspection OF parts
by a quicker, more accurate
method.
Q Allow the use Of women in
war work that has been held up
by a shortage of trained men
workers.
Q Speed tool and die making
by doing more accurate work in
far less time.
According to Kreuger, who lives
! at 1104 Kitchner avenue, the
federal government is reported t.
be interested in production OF the
machine, which weighs only 35(
pounds.
NOW IN MACHINE SHOP
The device is now at the ma
chine shop of Edward Snethkamp
an automobile dealer of 773-
Gratiot avenue, where space for
merly used for car repair ha'
been converted to war production
Snethkamp has been associated
In the development of the machine
Kreuger, who has been asso
ciated with the research depart
ment of General Motors, at ont
time worked with the late Docto
Junkers in early DIESEL develop
ments. He installed the motor
on the Inflated dirigible Hinden
lberg.

ARMY ANNOUNCES
 UNIFORM CHANGE
Convertible Collars Added to Flannel Shirts; New
 Glove Much Smarter

Boston, oct. 12- Changes in the Ar1ny's winter uniforms which will give soldiers greater warmth and comfort while adding, in some de- gree, to their sartorial splendor have been announced by the Quartermas- ter corps, it was stated today at headquarters of the First Service Command.
 Replacing the winter cap of duck with woolen lining is knitted headpiece to be worn above the ears during moderate weather and which, according to description, in- cludeS a snug shawl to be lowered for protection of ears and neck.
 Another improvement is in the tailoring of the flannel shirt with convertible collar, which may be rolled back if the weather suddenly turns warm.
 A new and smarter glove is oi olive-drab wool with leather palm Developed by the Quartermastel corps to give better protection tC the soldiers hands, the re-stylet glove is said to wear much longer.
 Adopted last winter as an expert ment, the field jacket, with cottor finish and liner of wool, proved so successful that it will be issued to every soldier. Wind-reSistant water-repellant, and quite dressy this jacket is regarded by the Army as one of the best all-purpoSe gar ments in its history
 A special winter combat jacke has been designed for soldiers as signed to particularly cold climates This short coat has wind-proo treated cotton cloth and a thicl outer shell made of a special! wool lining that provides insula' ton and warmth. Collar, wristletI and waistband are of knitted WOO and contain just enough elastic fo snug fit.
