one trial plane was constructed
and tested.
The third possibility is to de-
velop a supercolossal 200-ton
freighter, capable with assist
ance on the takeoff-of carrying
two of our hugest (50-ton) tanks,
or twenty P-40 fighter planes.
HACKERS EMPHASIZE
FREIGHT PLANES SPEED
Technically this is entirely
feasible, aviation men say. Eight
2500-horsepoWer motors, of
types already available, would
power such a craft. Propellers
and landing gear already avail
able would be adequate, they be-
lieve.
The Germans have depended
largely upon THEN Old JU-52, cor
responding to our Ford, Fokker
or Condor trimotored craft.
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker
suggests that the new Curtiss-
Wright GAG may be the answer
to our transportation prayer.
This he told Congressman, can
carry six tons 1000 miles, four
and-a-half tons 1000 miles, or
two and half tons 5000 miles.
The difference in pay load, of
course, reflects the weight of
gasoline which must be lifted on
the takeoff, according to the dis
lance to be flown.
Advocates of the 200-ton-sup-
ercraft estimate that 10000 of
them could replace all the ship
ping now available to the United
Nations.
The argument for switching
from water-borne to air-borne
freighters emphasizes safety and
speed.
While we should lose some
aircraft to the enemy, airmen
contend that the loss would be
compared with
what submarines are doing to
our ships on the sea. They point
out also that loss of even the
biggest plane would cost only
three or four lives, and perhaps
so tons of cargo, as contrasted
with many times that number of
lives and fifty or a hundred
times as much cargo when a
ship is sunk.

-HIS strange story of murder by remote
control began the other day when Police
Lieutenant Homer S. Shearer was taken
to a hospital for a stomach operation The
police officer easily weathered the surgery and
was preparing to leave the institution within
a few days TO continue his conValescence at

Lying on his hospital bed, Shearer was

With a shaking hand, he passed the newspaper

Retford quickly glanced through the story.

farmers, Cassius Barber, 20, Romano c. Pot

was discharged from prison The news

thrown out a dragnet, went on TO say that
the triple killing apparently had been mo-

fore had been ruddy and healthy looking, now

A IILLIONS of people in this country
M make the mistake of looking upon
wv archery as a "snooty" or a Sissy"
sport. When they drive by a private estate
or country club where people are shooting
arrows at a big target fastened on thin
bale of straw, they usually make disparag-
ing remarks about grownups who think it
smart to play Cowboy and Indian.
But, as is the case with most athletic
diversions, there is more to archery than
meets the eye. It's lot older than golf
or tennis, there's a great deal of beneficial
exercise in it-and it requires a fine
ordination of mind and muscle TO become
an expert at the game.

photographs on this page could give many

Feathers More Costly Than Gold

make 175 dozen dry-fles of that kind and
size Deducting the value of the hooks leaves
a retail value of $505 for one ounce of feath-
ers, so used which is nearly 10 times the
price, ounce for ounce paid for pure gold.
Whether government officials will be i'm
pressed by Reid's mathematics and reverse
their order on behalf of fly fishermen remains
TO be SEEN The WPB recently froze the
feathers because they are needed to make
cold weather clothing and sleeping bags for
our armed forces. According to Reid, the
weight of feathers used in just one garment
is enough to supply the annual needs of 5000
rod and reel men.
But the average fisherman probably will

A/ ounce of feathers or an ounce of
w gold?
Off-hand, the answer would seem to be
obvious but, surprisingly enough, it is feathers
that have a value almost 10 times that OF
the yellow metal. At least that's the claim
of Kenneth Reid executive secretary of the
Izaak Walton League. who figured 1t all out
recently to show the War Production Board
why the feathers that go into making dry
flies for fishermen should be exempted from
a recent order freezing all domestic duck and
goose feathers.
Reid figures it takes AZ and three-quarter
dozen number IL Royal Coachmen dry-flies to
weigh an ounce hooks and all. At the
going price of So a dozen the retail value
of these flies is S13125. Since the hooks,
however, weigh three times as much as the

The proper stance is of great Importance.
The feet should be well apart and the left
side of the body should face the target. At
the start of a shot the bow should be held
horizontally-as one of the photographs on
this page shows-and then the weapon should
be turned vertically. The right hand, as
Stunning that the archer isn't left handed,
should be held firmly against the cheek.
Arrows are not bullets. as every cmateur
at the sport of archery soon finds out. They
travel fast, but they drop fast, too-thanks
to the well-known law of gravity. No ex-
pert actually takes aim on the bulls eye.
