Noise within a closed glider
travelling at $50 miles an hour is
nearly as loud as that within a
plane with engines, owing TO the
violent agitation of the air as it
sweeps over the wings and about
the fuselage, says Golfers. This
noise, in many instances, has
reached a level of lis decibels, or
higher than that in a boiler fac

THE AUTO OF THE FUTURE

Airplane and auto companies ara
already busy on plans that will give
postwar America a combination
plane and motor car that will be at
home on or off the ground.
Designs for a family jitney that
will "f1y through the air with the
greatest of ease" when popper's pa
tience with red lights runs out are
being revealed. Some models COM
bine all the hair-raising features of
a jeep, fighter-plane and a witch's
broom.
One, the "aerofiivver," has quick
detachable wings! And a demOunt-
able tail! Whoops!!
The "aerofiivver" has a regular
auto body to which the flying fea-
lures can be attached "as easily as
changing tire" It's gotta be easier
than that, mister!
When you have cooked up a week
end trip that will be too mOnotOn0uS
If you stick on all four wheels, you
clamp on the wings, rudder, ETC.,
and-"Gangway! Daddy's playing
sea gull"
Then there's the "helicab," a COM
bination helicopter and coupe. Moth
ing detachable about this baby. It
comes all in one piece, looks like a
Jap beetle that has been living with
Henry Ford and can run, jump, fly
and ''hover."
No head-start, no impetus! It rises
straight off the rear lawn like a
cricket off a hot griddle. It can 60
backwards, forwards or stay still in
midair like a kingfsher over a
school of sinners. What fun!
1t combines the best features of
Sunday bus trip to Finnegan's
Beach with those of a tryout for the
Air Corps, a balloon ascension and
an afternoon over the hurdles with
out a horse.
The auto of the future will Jump
over traffic cops, skim the red lights,
blitz the road rules and make tour
ing an aerial exploit.
The question will not be How
many miles does she give per gal
lon?" but How many states can she
hop per hour?"
One of the first things an auto buy
er will ask of the salesman is 60
ing to be, ''Do I bail out from the
left or right?"
And in time we can picture the
ladies being appealed to by a sales
talk emphasizing that parachutes
come in old rose, beige, canary yell
low and robin-egg blue, with COM
pacts attached.
It all sounds far-fetched but auto
and aviation men are deadly serious
about it. They insist that with the
end of the war the flying urge will
be International.

When you see news photos of
soldiers "off duty in camp or be-
hind the battle-lines-notice how
often you'll see them smoking a
cigarette. There's a good reason
for that. Army officials say that
cigarettes are an appreciable fac
tor in maintaining morale-and
the soldiers themselves add that a
carton of cigarettes from home is
always welcome. What brand?
Well, sales records in Post Ex-
changes and Canteens show that
Camels are the favorite cigarette
with men in all the services.
Though there are Post Office re-
strictions on packages to overseas
Army men, you can still send
Camels to soldiers in the U. S.,

Guardsmen wherever they are
