FIRE AT No. 2!-It's the Junkers Ju.9O, a low-wing transport plane powered by four engines. This is one of the largest German land planes. It's fuselage is deep and slab-sided. The leading edges ot the wings are swept back strongly to broad tips. Both edges of the tailplane are tapered slightly and it has twin fins and rudders. A bomber model, Ju. 89, is identical in shape with this plane. Get 'em.

EM Urged To
 Boost Insurance

The Special Service Office is is- suing an appeal to all men to in- crease their insurance to the max imum of $10,OOO. Seventy-seven per cent of the Military Personnel of this Base now have policies for the full amount and the remaining 23@o are urged to increase their insurance while they still have the opportunity.
 As a concrete example of the wonderful bargain the United States Government is offering serv- ice men, the cost of an average policy which would insure soldiers against all hazards of war, if pur- chased from commercial company, is about $90 a year per 5000, over and above the average premium. Thus, if the average premium was $50 per 5000, it would be increased to $120 a thousand to insure men against all war hazards. For a $10,OO0 policy, the cost would be $12O0 per year, as compared with the average of $100.80 for Govern ment Insurance.
 With the above bargain in mind, men without maximum protection should immediately increase their policies to $10,000. See the Non- Com in charge of your organiza- tion's insurance department or call at the Base Special Service Office.

12 SPEAKING OS
 \SB BOOKS
Joe PRIVATE SAYS i;

y vember circulation statistics of the Base Library show an increase of 349% over those for the core spending month, last year. Who says the soldier doesn't have time for, or interest in, reading? We disagree with a recent arti- cle in the Library Journal which states that the soldier reads chief ly for amusement and therefore asks mostly for escapist and adven- ture stories" True, 55o of the to- tai number of books circulated were fiction, but we are unwilling to class THE ROBE, so LITTLE TIME, THE VALLEY OF. DBCI- SION, NONE BUT THE LONELY HEART and A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN as "light reading"
 What of the other 45%? Inter- est seems to center on books of history, personal narratives of bat tie heroes, or general discussions on the war by commentators and analysts. Poetry and drama are next in popularity with technical books and biographies tied for third place.
 The following books are Bradley Field "best-sellers. How many have you read?
 ON BEING A REAL PERSON, by H. E. Fosdick. The pastor of Riverside Church, New York, tells you how best to deal with fear and anxiety, how to master depression, and how to handle ones "mischiev- ous conscience"
 CHOOSING A COLLEGE, by J. R. Tuns. Complete data showing costs of the 400 leading colleges and universities in the United States.
 GENTLEMEN BEHAVE, by C.. i H. Towne. The ways of polite be- havior for men, written in a com plete, witty and sensible manner. LOVE IN AMERICA, by D. L.. Cohn. The author has explored the average Americans home, investl- gated the lovelorn columns, and studied reports by other observers of American life. The result is a moral study, spiced with a sharp and delightful wit.
 LIFE IN A PUTTY KNIFE FACTORY, by H. A. Smith. A companion volume to Low Man on Totem Pole, continuing his rec ollections of how he stumbled into literature and what he thinks of a number of people.
 PAST IMPERFECT, by Ilks Chase. A witty and fast-reading autobiography of famous actress, sparing neither friend nor foe in her account of her short but merry life.
 G. I. JUNGLE, by E. J. Kahn. The experiences of an infantryman in the New Guinea campaign. A hu- man account of what it feels like to be a soldier in action.
 THE BATTLE IS THE PAY OFF, by R. M. Ingersoll. The for mer editor of PM writes, not in terms of strategy, but of the in- dividual soldiers reactions during one action in the African cam paign.
 WAR EAGLES, by J. s. Child CTS. The story of the American pi- lots in the famous English Squad ron of the RAF.
 AND OF MUSIC
 Originally the term Chamber Music meant the music belonging to the household of a nobleman and was used in contrast with the music of the theatre and the church. Chamber Music now has come to mean music suitable for perfor- nance in a moderate-sized room, The Base Library is moderate-sized we aim to be modern, so it is not surprising to find the Mozart Quar- tet No. 13 in D minor on next Tues day evenings program of recorded music.
