 PRIVATE PILOTS
Experienced Flyers to Be Enrolled as Instructors,
 Ferry Service

Private pilots with as few as l25 hying-hours are sought by the Navy for instructor or ferry duty, the Naval Aviation Cadet Board, Third Naval District, revealed today in sending out an appeal for commer- ciaI or private flyers, including pi- lots of lighter -than-air craft.
 To sign up trained avIators in its ever-expanding wartime program, the Nevy is offering commissions commensurate with their age and experience to those pilots with suit able qualifications.
 Primarily, the appeal is for hold CTS of commercial pilots licenses or private flyers with more than 300 hours in planes of 100 horsepower or more. These must be active in avia- tion and have logged more than 100 certified pilot hours within the 12 months before applying. Age limits are from 19 to 40.
 In the case of private pilots with a minimum of 125 hours, who show suitable qualifications to be Naval officers and can pass the Navy phy- sical examination, the Naval Avia- tion Cadet Selection Board will ar range for advanced flight training under the Civil Aeronautics Author ity. In this category, applicants must be between 19 and, 40, preferably under 30. While taking the advanced Civilian Pilot Training Course, they will be commissioned in the Naval Reserve but will remain on inac- tive duty until they have completed the course. %

 Candidates may obtain infornaa- ton by writing to the Naval Avia- ton Cadet Selection Board, 120 Broadway, New York, N. Y.

As much as 60 per cent of fuel can be saved by householders if 10 simple suggestions are followed, said the American Society of Heating & Ventilating Engineers in a bulletin today. Failure to take necessary precautions cause an excess amount of fuel to be used in furnaces, it is stated.
 The engineers offer the follow ing suggestions:
 1. Install storm windows and doors. This alone is likely to save 20 to g per cent of the fuel used.
 2. Insulate ceilings and walls. Ceiling insulation will have 10 to 15 per cent, and wall insulation 12 to 20.
 3. Install window and door wealth er-stripping - 5 to 10 per cent fuel saving in the average case, and even more where windows and doors are loose fitting.
 mostatic control between 65 and 70 mostatic control ebtween 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit and wear more clothing.
 5. Lower temperatures. Set thermostatic control at 60 degrees Fahrenheit at night, and at 50 de- grees Fahrenheit when away for a few days. The nightly lowering to 60 degrees will save from to 10 per cent of the fuel.
 6. Do not heat unused rooms. Turn
 of heat in the garage for the
 duration; shut sun rooms off
 from the rest of the house and
 leave them unheated; close
 tightly all doors ledaing to the
 attic and unused rooms; turn
 of the heat when bedroom win
 dows are opened for sleeping;
 seal fireplace openings or close
 damper to prevent loss of heat
 up the chimney.
 '. Insulate hot water heater.
 8. Improve radiator efficiency. Re- paint radiator with an ordinary oil paint, if 1t has a bronze or alumi- mum finish. This will improve eftl- ciency as much as 10 per cent since it will provide a better radiating surface. Place piece of galvanized iron or aluminium behind the radi- ator, or paint the wall surface with a light-colored paint, to reflect back into the room heat usually soaked up by the wall at that point. Re- move dirt collections in pockets of radiators and convectors and keep heavy drapes and curtains away from radiators and convectors.
 g. Check furnace combustion efl- ciency. Check chimney draft, stack temperature and percentage of car- bon dioxide in the flue gas, and re- move soot from the inside surfaces of furnace or boiler. Soot removal saves about per cent of fuel. 10. Recondition heating plant. In radiator systems, inspect boiler in'

STABILIZE STEEL
 INDUSTRY WAGES
War Labor Board Is Back of Govt. Drive: To Aid
 Copper Production
BY JOHN M. MECKLIN United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspnodent)
 Washington, Aug. 13-(UP)-The war labor board became the spear head today of a government drive to stabilize wages in the steel indus try and to bolster faltering produc- tion of copper.
 The board meets Aug. 18 to con- slider the wage and union security demands of 250,000 "big steel" work CTS, using as a basis the formula worked out last month in the little steel" case.
 A three-man panel begins hear ings Aug. 19 in an effort to settle Ion an industry-wide basis" wage and union shop demands of 10000 copper, zinc and lead workers, most of them miners.
 The steel dispute-involving the CIO United Steel Workers and the United Steel Corp.-waS certified to the board yesterday by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins. The union has asked the same settlement granted little steel"- wage in- creases of A cents an hour, main tenance of union membership, and a check-off.
 The boards decision to begin pulp lie hearings almost immediately af- ter certification of the dispute, dis pensing with the usual lengthy in- vestigation, indicates that it will pattern its deliberations on the facts presented in the little steel" case, labor authorities said.
 It was believed that the principal dispute would center on the ques- tion of whether any wage increases granted should be retroactive. The little steel" increase was retroac- tive to the first week in February.
 Produce More Metals
 Officials of the war manpower commission said the VILE decision to consolidate disputes involving 37 non-ferrous metal mines, mills and smelters in nine states is connected closely with the efforts of four other government agencies to increase production of these important metals immediately.
 Widespread production lags have been caused by labor shortages Thousands of men have migrated to better-paying jobs in aircraft fac- tories, shipyards and other war boom industries, officials said.

TrOOpships That Land On Beaches Seen As Super Invasion Barges Of Future
BY MA servIee

New York, Aug. 13-With plans for overseas attacks occupying Am- erica military-navel minds, two New York industrial designers sug- eest a revolutionary new kind of a vessel that would serve both as an ocean-going troopship and also a shallow-bottomed invasion barge, capable of pushing to within six- foot depths of landing beaches.
 Once on the edge of the beach. the ships bow opens and out slide tank ramps, down which tanks fight their way ashore and directly into invasion action. Sketch, right. by the ships designers, Jacques Martial and Robert c. Scull, is their conception of how the inva- sion action would look.
 BALLAST TANKS ARE
 GIVEN NEW TASK
 Key to the operation of this Jules Vernean ship is the use of ballast tanks which run longitudin- ally the length of the vessels bot tom. When full of water, these tanks give the boat the stability necessary for dep-sea crossing. Thre or four miles from an inva- sion shore, the ballast tanks would be blown out, like a surfacing sub marines, and the ship would rise to draw less than six feet of water.
 The ship itself is designed to go right into the thick of the fight ing. Its top deck, also of radical design, is flat, armored, and armed with turrets and multiple anti aircraft guns. The designers esti- mate the speed of their craft at 16 knots fully loaded and 20 when the ballast tanks have been blown out.
 Messrs. Martial and Scull figure that their ocean-going invasion barge could carry directly to the point of attack a full company of Marines, plus full equipment. This would include at least 8 medium tanks, and half that many half track trucks with 75-mm. guns, plus four self1propelled mounts for 155-mm. guns, and the necessary supply trucks and reconnaissance units.

DRAFTED MEN MAY
 JOIN NAVY FLEET
Navy Has Been Depending on Volunteers; Are Not
 Coming Fast Enough
By SANDOR S. KLEIN 1ited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

Limited Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, Aug. 13-(UP)-Ofh- cial sources said today that they ex- pect the Navy to call upon Selective Service shortly for men to help op- crate the expanding fleet.
 These officials, who are outside the Navy, said they would not be surprised If the request were made within the next 60 to 90 days.
 Naval officials said the advisa- bility of using drafted men had been under study but that no action was contemplated at present. The Navy now relies wholly on voluntary en- NStmentS.
 The Navy has always felt that volunteers were better for its spe- cialized purposes than selectees. Ap- proximately 12,50O selectees were in- ducted into the Navy near the end of the last war. For few months in 1918 voluntary enlistments were suspended, but they were restored in December of that year.
 When the present Selective Serv- ice System was inaugurated and men were required to serve for only a year, naval officials contended that they could not use selectees be- cause it took at least that long to train man for service aboard ships. Now, however, selectees must serve for the duration.
 Before the Navy could ask for sell ectees 1t would have to get pres idential order.
 Officials elsewhere in the govern ment foresaw the time, in the not distant future, when the president will order all voluntary enlistments suspended and Selective Service will be the only source of manpower, not only for the Navy but the Coast Guard and Marine corps.
 Meanwhile, it appeared that the Navy was going to have no trouble getting personnel for the WAVES its new women's reserve. It is being flooded with letters from women requesting ofhcer-candidate application blanks. So far, 5000 have been received from New York 4,0OO from Philadelphia, $500 from Boston, 4,500 from Chicago and 1,20C from Washington.
 It is now planned to begin re- cruiting for enlisted personnel fol the WAVES around Sept. 10. Officel training will start at Smith College Northampton, Mass, the first week in October.

Good Evening.

Things are seldom what they seem, Ladies get compexions very very brown which really are not that color at all And eyebrows go up that really should go down. A shortish man has long golf swing; great big man pipes little tenor tone ~ While you'll note little fellow Bellows out big baritone. A bartender, they say, never takes drink; OanRsters favor soft stuff upon the screen; Great Dane dogs are more timid than little bulls And many Bostonites are not partial to the bean. Things are seldom what they seem, There's lots of bunk and hocus-pocus; And what you see through rose colored glasses Depends quite little on the focus
