Posters to Aid Workers

Detroit war plant workers who
spend their nights on the job and
their days trying to sleep-despite
street noises, playing children, and

door or front window of the home.
Although similar smaller pos

first large and effective one made
available. IL has been prepared
by the National Noise Abatement

Vultee Aircraft has announced
that new types Of its training
planes will be built mostly of steel,

The new process combines thin
sheet steel with what the company
calls expanded metal" developed
In the Vultee Detroit research
laboratory. This expanded metal,
a steel grill-work somewhat similar
to the metal lath used in building
construction, is welded to the steel
sheets, affording additional rigidity
and strength in relation to its
weight.
The new type Of fabrication, the
company announces, will permit

10 Gas Rules
Tips viii Stretch Mileage
to the Limit

When the entire nation goes
under gas rationing as recon-
mended in the "Baruch report" or
rubber. here are 10 tried-and-true
ways to help make your allotment
cover essential needs. They're
compiled by Delmar G.. Roos. chief
engineer for Willys-Overland
Motors. who designed the armys
fuel-saving Jeeps. The rules
have already helped thousands OF
eastern motorists TO increase mile
age. They are:
Avoid using the choke, espe-
cially in warm weather.
Accelerate gently; pumping
the accelerator wastes fuel.
Don't hold the car in second
gear; shift into high at about
IS mph.
Don't exceed 35 miles per
hour; speed is the greatest gas
eater"
If your car has gone over
5000 miles, have the valves,
compression and spark settings
checked by an expert service
man.
BE sure wheels are properly
aligned, thus eliminating gas
eating resistance.
Don't drag your brakes.
Don't leave the engine rum
ming when parked.
Keep the carburetor in top
condition.
Keep the spark plugs clean;
dirty plugs can waste 10 per
cent of your gas.
Keep the tires inflated, car
we'll fabricated, radiator filled
and get tuneup every 60 days.

1--WE are the only nation to
develop all our fighter planes
for combat service In all climates
and all temperatures. These
machines are operating day and
night over all continents and all
fronts from Icelan to Australia.
Our air forces are the only ones
to install all forms of pilot pro-
lection In all fighters. They
have leak-proOf fuel tanks, the
most complete armor plate pro-
lection. the heaviest fire power,
the longest cruising range and
the greatest ability to absorb
enemy guniire and sustain dam
age without being put out OF ac-
ton.
ION the average. our planes
carry larger quantities OF am
munitiOn. Our cannOn-pOwered
fighters use shells twice the size
used by any other fighter any
where. The .50-caliber machine
guns on our fighters have n
higher muzZle velocity than
most enemy planes. Therefore,
they are more accurate, more
penetrating and more destruc-
tive. They will penetrate with
out DETECTION the arm0r plate
