LAKE COMPOUNCE
BUYS RAILROAD
Late VIM. Gillette's Hobby
Sold to Operators of
Bristol Park

The famous Gillette Railroad, de-
signed and built by the late Will
liam Gillette, world renowned actor
and playwright, and installed on the
grounds of his spacious estate over
looking the Connecticut river at
Hadlyme, has been sold to Pierce g.
Norton Co., owners and operators
Of Lake Compounce Amusement
Park in Bristol.
Mr.. Gillette considered the rail-
road hobby of his own making and
an outgrowth of his boyhood inter-
ests in building railroad engines.
The rolling stock consists Of two To-
comotives, one steam and the other
electric, two Pullman coaches, one
serpentine car and two fiat cars for
use in repairing the track bed. All
this equipment was carefully built
to scale and constructed on the SAT-
est and most efficient mechanical
principles.
The electric engine was a later
edition to the system, designed by
Mr.. Gillette for use when guests
might arrive unexpectedly and time
did not allow for getting up steam
In the conventional manner. AL
though operated by powerful electric
batteries, this locomotive has the
physical appearance Of a steam
lance Of 80 feet or less from the
plane.
A fin-type augmentation bomb,
equipped with O mechanical time
fuse, can be dropped on a lower
flying formation of airplanes and
made to explode In their midst.
Chemical bombs release gas,
smoke screens and incendiaryr
agents. A plans may carry $500 to
1000 small incendiary bombs which
weigh about 4 pounds each.

AIR FORCES HAS
ATYPE OF BOMB
FOR EACH JOB

New York, (UP)--It takes all
kinds Of bombs as well as planes
TO make an air force.
The United States Army Air
Forces has a bomb for every pur-
pose, from a 100-pounder, which
can wreck q locomotive, TO one
Weighing ~ times as much, ca
pable Of laying waste to q city block.
The AAF used three kinds Of
bombs in combat demolition,
augmentation and chemical. Be-
fore each bombing mission It Is nee
essary to decide not only the weight
of bombs carried but the sizes Of the
individual bombs and the types Of
fuses and bomb cases which will
give the maximum effect against
the target, according to the Army
Air Forces issue Of Flying.
Demolition Types
Demolition bombs alone have five
types
GP-General purpOse-SO-55 per
cent explosive
SAP-Semi-armOr plerCing-32
per cent explosive
AP-ArmOr- piercing-5-12 per-
cent explosive
LC-Light case-77 per cent ex-
pl0sive
DB-Depth bOmb-70-75 per cent
cent explosive.
The GP bomb Is so strong it can
be dropped without rupturing from
an altitude Of 5000 feet against a
slab OF concrete 4 feet thick. With
o delayed-action fuse such bomb
would crash through to the base
nnent Of most buildings, bury itself
several feet in the ground near a
briwge and penetrate the decks OF
all but cruisers and battleships
The largese GP - 1000 pounds can
sink or dangerously damage a bat
tleShip with direct hit or from as
far away as IS feet when exploded
In the water. The SAP 1000
FOUNDER will penetrate the side or
deck Of all naval craft except bat
tie cruisers and battleships. SAP
bombs range in weight from 500 to
1000 pounds.
The biggest AAF bomb Of all is
the LC blockbuster-4,200 pounds
OF bomb containing 1892 pounds Of
explosive, equipped with an instan-
taneous fuse so that us terrific
blast will occur before the bomb
case ruptures. The LC was designed
for a target which provides its own
"tamping" - e. g., a congested city
block. "Tamping" Is the confine-
ment Of the explosive within the
target with no holes through which
its energy may escape. To accom-
plish this GP, SAP and APP bombs
are made to explode only after pen
etration of a building, the ground
a ship, or the water beside the ship
The LC explodes on impact. De-
explosion may be AS times as the
same amount untamped.
Break Into 1000 Pieces
For knocking out U-boats two
types of depth bombs are used-the
S25-pound Mark II and the ESQ.,
pound Mark 20, containing about
rs per cent explosive filler and @
Navy hydrostatic fuse.
Fragmentation bombs are usee
against ground forces and light
material - trucks, airplanes ant
encampmentS. They break int
1000 to 1900 pieces weighing about
S-l0th Of an ounce each, with We.
locities up to 1000 feet per second
Such fragments, bursting at zoe
feet, viii penetrate o wing or gas
tank, cut tires and control wires

ers. Ground crews need Is to 80
hours to repair planes damaged by

on the employing Of Immigrants

said.
The plan provides that no
employer may hire an in-mi-
grant except upon refusal from
the USES office in the area in
which the employer offers work.
Local USES offices cannot re-
fer an in-migr II worker TO an
employer unless he presents a
statement of inter-area clearance

Unless an individual definite

The importance Of every eX-
ira acre Of beans and sugar bcets
is obvious when we realize Just
how many soldiers one acre Will
feed. One hundred pounds of
beans will provide one good
wholesome meal for $50 United
States soldiers. An acre of beans,
averaging about II bushels TO
the acre, will feed almost 5000
men" Michigan is short of the
bean quota by about 10000
acres, which in terms Of meals
would mean n meals per mil

Likewise an acre of suga,
oeets, averaging 10 tons, would
provide about $500 pounds of
refined sugar. On the basis of
Army rations this amount would
take care of the needs of 500
soldiers for one month.

Production In
Cut B0zik Drops
Despite New Wells

Despite spring compilations, daily
average production Of Kelvin and Cut
Bank fields showed decline in March
from February, according TO total pro
duction figures revealed by the monthly
report Of the Oil Conservation Board.
Cut Bank production declined from
1919 Dbl. per day in February to
l4,4sl Dbl. per day in March. The total
for March was greater but this Is due
to three extra days Of production in
March.
Gains in Pondera and Dry Creek
offset the loss in the north fields and
the daily average for the state in
March was 20,625 Dbl. against 20,424
Dbl. in February when many fields
were hampered by winter weather. BY
way of comparison, daily average pro-
duetion during the week ended April
25 was 20,S76 Dbl Cut Bank yield
was 1880; Kelvin, 5,O61 Dbl. per day
as compared with 5,4Os in February
and 4,829 in March.
The report shows a March market
for 542, 406 Dbl. compared with total
production of 639,3e1 Dbl, resulting
in a gain in storage oil from $50, 1855
to 762,15l Dbl. Wyoming imports in
creased from 342, AIS Dbl in February
to 349,6s6 Dbl. in March.
Exports to Canada were but 1870
Dbl. in March, against 1889 in Feb
ruary. Exports to Washington and Idaho
tOtaled ll6,S07, an increase over the
l02,55l Dbl. in February. All the March
shipments to Canada were from Kelvin
field, Cut Bank shipping no oil to
Canada.
