ROBOT BOMBS IN 1875
Jacksonville Register-Paj jaronian)


The report from Sweden that the nazls
have developed a lotion robot bomb
which can reach New York should be
taken with many grains of salt.
Stockholm describes the missile as nav
ing speed of 700 miles an hour and
travelling in the stratosphere well above
the range of our highest flying planes
and most powerful anti-aircraft guns.
The Swedish report will hardly cause
a wholesale evacuation of New York or
the eastern seaboard. Even if the Ger
mans have greatly extended the range OF
their once secret weapon it is highly I'M
probable that they can project 1t dis
tance of 5000 miles or more. Robot
bombs striking England have maximum
range of approximately 1S0 miles.
The potentialities of this flying bomb,
however, indicate that it may have an
important role in future warS-eSpeclal-
ly if means are found to control 1t by
radio.
The experience of the British with the
robots shows that the civilian population
is at a particular disadvantage since the
attacks are not limited to definite pc
riods of time as in regular air raids.
Bombs fall at any time of night or day,
and virtually without warning.
BY 1878, robot bombs capable of span
ming the Atlantic may have been devel-
oped But before that time, men may
have gained sufficient sanity to devote
their genius toward humane and con-
structive purposes.

PIPE DOWN
(Christian Science Monitor)

To that fellow who has successfully
developed a rustproof furnace pipe.
here a sweep of our hat. For he's really
done something-if you know what we
mean. And what man doesn't?
Oh, it wasn't so bad when plumbers
were at beck and call to have that fur
mace pipe taken down in the spring and
put back in the fall. In fact, our plumber
we'd like a word with him-assured us
before he left that there's nothing to
it"
After two years of struggling with
yards of furnace pipe, there's many
man who has yet to decide whether the
greater strain on being gentleman on
all occasions comes with taking the pipe
down or putting it up. 1t is little wonder
that decisions have been made on the
spur of the moment to let the pipe rust
until it dropped off by itself.
OF course, every man finally gets the
pipe back somehow or other. Don't ask
him how. Even the assorted tools
screwdriver, pliers, small sledge hammer,
file, shoehorn. and kitchen knife-do not
add up to a complete explanation.
Yes, Mr.. Hardwareman, you can put
US down for six lengths of that new
non-rusting furnace pipe. We are going
to wait for the plumber to come back
and put it up.
