AIR FIELD GETS
new COMMANDER
Continued From Page One)

Colonel Jones has brought his
family, wife and three daugh-
tiers, twelve, nine, and five with
him.
He is professional soldier
through and through.
Flying and the business of hand
ling training and commanding fiji
ers is not just war time occupa-
ton with him. It's his lifes work.
Directly out of school in his home
town, Reading, Kansas, the colon
ell became a flying cadet at Brooks
Field, Texas.
He was first commissioned on
October 1927 and later was grad
uated both from the advanced fly
ing school and from the air corps
tactical school at Maxwell Field,
Alabama. He now holds three aero
nautical ratings - aircraft observ-
er, combat observer and command
pilot. This last rating signifies at
least 10 years in the Air Corps and
at least three thousand hours in
the air, and is a goal sought by
all pilots.
An enthusiastic sportsman who
has hunted and fished throughout
New England, as we'll as in the
southern states of Texas and Ala
bama, Colonel Jones is greatly in
terested in North Cardinals reputa-
ton as a sportsman paradise. One
of the minor Invitations in the grim
and eXacting business of running
an army air base during war time
is the fact that it keeps him from
exploring the states streams, fields
and woods.
Colonel Jones is proud of his
new command and proud of the
tradition and example set by the
courageous flier for whom the
field is named. He feels that Ar
thur Bluethenthal, one of Will
mington's bravest sons, Allan
erican football star and member of
the Lafayette Esquadrille in World
War I is an inspiring example to
have before the men who train and
work at Bluethenthal Field.

Do you feel headachy-depressed-iri-
-tired-d due to sluggish. consti.
pated condition? Do you want faster and
more effective all-around relief than you
can get from an ordinary simple laxative
alone? Then, as medical science proves,
you should do two things:
i. Get liver bile flowing freely.
2. Clear out the intestinal tract.
To do both, take double-acting Carter's
Little Liver Pills tonight. The first thing
Carter's usually do while you're COM
fortably asleep is to increase the flow Of
liver bile-a vital digestive juice. This
helps to digest your food properly. This
first Carter action alone may make you feel
much better when you wake up!
Then, Carter's second action helps re-
lieve the sluggish condition that may easily
be at the bottom of all your headachy,
depressed, tired feeling.
Carter's double action is due to their
special formula. Thousands know how well
they work. Get Carter's Little Liver Pills
today only 25t at any druggists. Take
as directed. You'll be glad you did.

Shipbuilder Offers Plan
To Conserve Manpower

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49, up -
Henry ]. Kaiser was rounding up
support in Washington today for
a manpower conservation p n
under which war contracts would

best records of manpower utiliza-
ton, gagged in terms of man.
hours expended on each plane,
gun or ship produced.
Working with typical Kaiser en-
ergy, the Western industrialist had
talked to War Manpower Chair
man Paul V. McNutt, War Labor
Board Chairman William H. Davis
and Charles E. Wilson. executive
vice-chairman of the War Produc-
ton Board.
Kaiser said that Wilson. before
he departed for the Pacific coast
last night to supervise the gov
ernment's sweeping inter agency
program for solution of the West
Coast manpower crisis, had ex-
pressed approval Of the proposal.
Informed officials corroborated
this, saying Wilson apparently had
been impressed with the plan as
a means Of squirting production
with existing labor forces, but did
not believe it could be employed
now on a nationwide basis. In the
five Pacific Coast areas OF man.
power shortage. however, Wilson
was said to believe Kaiser's idea
would dovetail 18th the new pro-
gram for improved manpower
utilization.
The Army, Navy, Maritime Com
mission and other government pro-
curement agencies, under Kaiser's
plan, would grant contracts not
only on the basis of a plants
proved productivity, but on IS
record of success in reducing the
man-hours devoted to each finish
ed unit.
Plants also would be rated &C
cording to the number OF women
employed, freeing men for other
essential jobs.
Kaiser said he envisaged "a kind
Of national contest to promote
plant efficiency, declaring he was
convinced that the speed records
set by Kaiser ship yards resulted
from "the competition among our
own yards"
Such a scheme would make un-
necessary, he contended, any
large-scale Withdrawals OF W a r
contracts from the Pacific coast,
move which he predicted would
arouse tremendous opposition.
81 think the governments over
all West Coast plan-if it can be
operated without creating big
backlog of resentment, and it han
died intelligently wi h industry,
government and labor cooperation
has much promise" Kaiser said
in an interview.
Small plants as well as large
ones could be assigned an ettl-
cheney rating, the builder d,
