No FiZZle
Soda Pop Gas Credited
With Saving Rick

Add the name of Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker to the long list oil
hiers who owe their lives to COM
mon soda pop gas. As was the case
with Harold Dixon, Ensign Gay,
and thousands of other pilots,
navigators, bombardiers and gun
ners, the raft on which Ricken-
hacker and his comrades drifted
for "a days before they were
finally rescued, received its bouy-
ancy from a small steel bottle of
carbon dioxide, the same gas that
puts the fiZz in a glass Of ginger
ale.
Until the moment when life or
death depended upon il, that all
important raft was a wad of rub
beriZed canvas about the size of a
duffle bag slowed away inside the
plane. But at that crucial mo-
ment. the turn of a valve on the
carbon dioxide bottle transformed
il into a Seaworthy boat capable
of carrying five men all in a
matter of seconds.

Verify Figures

Engineers, by means of specially
devised vibrators placed inside the
leading edge of the wings, pro-
duced in normal flight artificial
vibrations of an intensity that
would be encountered up near the
flutter speed of the plane. While
this was going on, they of course
watched the oscillograph closely,
and as soon as they saw flutter
conditions approaching they shut
off the vibrators. The records thus
obtained they used to verify their
mathematical calculations of the
flutter speed of the plane. which
information became valuable in
the designing of even larger and
faster planes.

Approximately 80 per cent Of

women, according to ]. Carlton

of the highest ratios of women to
men existing in any of the aircraft

A recent survey also revealed
that the ratio of women to men

increasing steadily. At the current

Dogs an Demand

Never before has the market
for dogs in Detroit been so good
as in the last four monthS. Both
the small breeders and the large
kennels have been virtually
stripped of everything they have
marked for sale ana some they
hoped TO keep. Most of these will
become dogs for defense of the
homes, where they will nip in the
bud any general breaking and en-
tering and burglary movements.
Dogs today are placed on an
equality with those chosen for
army service. in which movement
Detroit is entitled to the letter
4. - Slgnifying good work, well
done. Demand by the army in all
its branches for these trained dogs
is growing. A recent call for 10
more German shepherds is being
met, although members OF this
breed have been pretty well

kept a "left-eyed" gunner from
using the sight.
Today Oerlikons now go to the

and approved by navy ordnance
experts. As a result, Klingler

affected by the new design.

The nine automotive manufac-
turers of aircraft engines are
operating or constructing 13 new
production and assembly plants in
eight cities and five states. These
plants, which are prime contract
ors for about IS per cent of the
industry's total war work, draw
upon the production capacity of
hundreds of other automotive
plants widely scattered factories.
This example of the wide dis
persal of aircraft engine work. IL
is pointed out, is made possible
and made efficient by long-stand-
ing peacetime practice. The pro-
cedure is typical of the industry's
handling of its production of
planes, tanks, ar1nored vehicles,
military trucks. guns, shells and
other ornaments.
1t is typical, Automotive War
Production declares, because no
plant, no matter how modern nor
how well integrated, can fabricate
a mechanical weapon of any kind
in volume without the assistance
of many others in the industry.
This was also true OF ear and

AS decentralized as was the in

SKULL MYSTERY
The Rev. Howell Discloses
Old Cemetery Once

The mystery surrounding the
skeletons and tombstones found at
the excavation for the new Atlantic
Coast Line office building on Red
Cross street was apparently clear
e6 Friday by the Rev. Andrew ].
Howell, New Hanover county his
torian and pastor emeritus OF
Pearsall Memorial Presbyterian
church.
This area was, in all probability,
he said, a part of the old ceme-
terry connected with the Front
Street Methodist church, which
stood at the northeast corner of
Front and Walnut streets, one
block distant from the excavation.
MANY of us recall seeing the
church burn in the great Sunday
afternoon fire of February q,
1885," he said. This was the sec
ond building, and a very hand
some one. The graveyard was
about the church. and the remains
found were without doubt in an
outer part of it. l remember very
distinctly the tombs which were

Parts of five skeletons, includ-
ing two skulls, in an almost per-
feet state of preservation, have
been unearthed at the site of the
excavation, as we'll as grave

son, wife of Mr.. Allah Hanson,

1920. Aged Is years. Also her
daughter Mary Eliza who departed

3 months
Continuing his account, the Rev.
Mr.. Howell said that probably
many victims of the great yellow
fever epidemic that swept through
the town in 1919 are buried in the
ole cemetery. The building in
which the rationing office is now
located and others adjoining along
Front street are on the site of the
old church.
lit is of interest to know that
the church was organized in 1897.
1t appealed very strongly to Bis
hop Francis Aspury, who frequent
ly visited it. In fact, it seems
that he lived in the town for a
while. His diary gives many de-
tails of the early history of the
church, making mention of the
large number of Negro slaves who
we're members of it. He wrote in
1903, We have eight hundred and
seventy-elght Africans, and a few
whites in fellowship The slaves
in the town were much more
numerous than their owners. The
first building was 66 by 80 feet in
size, with galleries all around.
The bishop wrote in 1910, I recon-
tmended the purchase of a grave

New Health Center Now
Local Property At
Cost OF Dollar

With only the sum Of one dollar

Although the county occupied
