With a gasoline ration card, Senior
Delano hoped to get out of the

wide gasoline rationing goes into

public buses, milk delivery, f1remen,
police and few essential purposes.
Senor Delano has been much in

United States. He speaks English
f1uently, having attended Grange

Horpist Urges Mass Singing
BY Troops and War Workers
Clark Sees Music
As Aid in Cutting
Plant Accident Rute

America can step up its war effort
by more realistic use of music in
the fighting services and in war
industries, according to Melville
Clark of Syracuse, N. Y, president
of the National Association OF
Music Merchants and widely
known harpist.
Here to offer his groups cooper
alton to Government agencies, Mr..
Clark recalled the effective employ
ment of music in the World War
when he toured Eastern Army
camps with Miss Margaret Wilson,
daughter of President Wilson.
Mass singing by soldiers and war
workers has a tremendous power,
Mr.. Clark said yesterday. "It COM
bines the three essentials of inspira-
ton, thrills and entertainment,
whereas listening to professionals
provides entertainment only,
I'm the last war, auditoriums
seated as many as 10000 soldiers
and their mass singing was thrill
ing. Miss Wilson sang and played
the harp at many of these large
gatherings. In the present war we
have done good job in the camps
on the religious side, but mass sing
ing has not been developed"
He voiced the belief that use of
music in munitions plants would
aid war production and cited the
experiences of Japan, England and
Germany in this respect.
Japan does not use music in its
munitions plants, with the result
that its accident rate is one acci-
dent for each four employees, due to
fatigue" Mr.. Clark said.
England has set aside $3.50. 900

~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DAYTON, Ohio, June 6.-A-
though 1t is not expected to be used
to bomb Toxic or Berlin, the
Douglas Bio bomber stationed at
Wright Field already has paid for
its $3,500,0 cost through contri-
buttons to the advancement Of plane
building.
This was the opinion tonight OF
Army Air Force officers who dis
closed that the huge flying labor
atory has been making further test
flights over this area for some weeks
following 14-hour, one-stop flight
from March Field, Calf.
"The designing of airplanes still
remains an art and has not YET
become a science" Brig Gen. Arthur
w. Vanaman, commanding general
Materiel Center, Wright Field, told
newsmen before an inspection o1
the ship.
Wing Tips Sag In Flight.
1.-THE cut and try method OF
building plane and flight testing
it still remains the only sure way
of determining what it will do
From facts we have learned from
the Bio will come other and bet
ter tactical ships as big or perhaps
even larger"
The air force disclosed that the
tips of the 212-foot wing structure
are 8 feet lower when the ship is
on the ground than when in flight
The tips sag even more when bright
sunlight expands the metal on the
wings top surface.
1--WE first thought the wing was
giving away because of strain from
test flights, but after a lot of cal
culations we found it was just the
sum-" a spokesman said.
The ship has fuel capacity of
11y0oO gallons, with range OF 7,75C
