DIR. HENRY DE LANCE

The true self of man abides in
the city of the living God" DR..

the First Church Of Christ Scien-

Christian Science, he said, shows
the basolute necessity OF reducing
evil things and conditions to false
suggestions to come within the
scope of the Christian Science
treatment, a spiritual activity, DO
not think of your soldier boy as a
human person, incomplete and des-
tructible, but as the so nof God; as
the divine idea, forever existing,
full, free, untouched by any human
sense, DR.. deLange concluded.

RUBBER BOATS
COT IMPETUS IN
BALLOON RACES

Akron, 90, May Is - UP0 -
The rubber life raft which is stand
ard equipment today for airplanes
operating over water goes back to
the balloon races that were all the
rage in the '20s.
Those balloon races helped to
demonstrate the practicability of
light, quickly inflated craft such as
those on which three Navy flyers
spent "a days under the hot Paci-
fic sun not SO long ago.
The father of the modern rubber
raft may be said to be j. F. Cooper,
who built the first crude one in the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany's balloon room during the first
World War.
Cooper, who retired recently after
building thousands of balloons, went
to work on the first pneumatic raft
at the suggestion of Ward T. Van
Orman, winner of three interna-
tional balloon races.
MduC NOtCT LOT DdShCI
Van Orman and three colleagues
had received an icy ducking in Mil
ton Lake, near Youngstown, O..
after their balloon made a sudden
descent there in March, 1918. Their
balloon basket had submerged and
they were in the water for an hour
before being rescued.
To guard against recurrence Of
such a mishap Cooper devised a
rubberized cover for the basket and
installed L-shapad pontoons on the
bottom so it might coast along with
the wind and be flown ashore, an
idea still being utilized.
Then Cooper went to work on
the raft idea, in case the pilots had
to bandon their ships. The boat
was tried out by Goodyear employ
ees at picnic at Brady Lake, near
Akron. and it was found to be i'm
possible to capsize.
In the early balloon races. the
boats were folded up and carried in
the balloon baskets. In later years,
they were inflated and dashed to the
rigging above the baskets and be-
low the balloons.
First Order in '33
Army and Navy pilots noticed the
rubber boats at balloon races and
were the first to ask for some, but
public interest in aviation had
lapsed in the first decade after the
war, with the result the govern
ment saw no use for the boats on
what planes it was then using for
the services.
1t was not until 1888 that the
Navy gave Goodyear a Sizeable or
der. Then the Army became inter-
ested, and this led to development
of the carbon dioXide cylinders with
each boat which provided quick in
flation when needed.
Cooper, who retired recently be-
cause of failing health, built many
OF the rubber figures used in the
Macy Day parades In New York
City and made envelopes and gas
bags for almost all the big and little
dirigibleS produced in America.
Today, the RATS he originated
have been developed into a variety
OF shapes and sizes for specialized
purposes. For example, there is 6
one-man raft for the pilot who ha.
to bail out over water, and there i.
a Sturdler type which mounts {
machine-gun and cupboard motor
and can carry 80 attacking Marines
The RATS used by Captain Eddie
Rickenbacker and half a dozer
companions forced down in the Pa
cific last year were produced in 194C
and had none of the modern equip
ment included in the boats made
today.

Rome Newspaper Editorials
Change Sentiment Quickly
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, Sept. 13.-Romans read
their newspapers with considerable
bewilderment.
Before July 25, editorials in the
Italian capitals papers were pro-
Fascist, pro-German, and anti
United Nations.
After July Is, they were anti
Fascist, but still pro-German.
After September 8, they were anti
German, and pro-United Nations.
Yesterday the newspaper Piccolo
wrote that German soldiers appre-
ciate the conditions which forced
Italy-her strength OF resistance cx-
hausted and in great part destroyed
to abandon the struggle and will
recognize the unhappy necessity of
the armistice."
Whether this meant the Germans
soon would find that Italy could not
be held against the Allies, or wheth-
er they simply would understand and
appreciate why the Romans wanted
peace was not clear,
