LIKKER AND TIRES

We view with some alarm MT. Donald Nelson's statement that our country is using more than 100000 gallons of 190- proof alcohol each day in the manufac- ture of rubber necessary for the war ef- fort. The fact that 20O,000,000 highballs are being processed each 24 hours bodes no good for the war effort, or for Amer ican drivers.
 We always were taught that alcohol and gasoline didn't mix, and it seemed a wise precaution to carry the sirlile on to other pants of our automobile. We presumed it would be dangerous to play with steering wheels and likker, and we were certain that the old foot throttle never should be touched in the same breath with pint of Kentucky dew. Now we learn that the government, even is making tires of the stuff we've learned to shun and we're wondering if maybe the cars of the future won't go swerving and swaying along the roads, much after the manner of a human whose alcoholic stinulant has gone to his feet.
 Still, for all it's humorous possibilities, the Nelson statement shows the real reason behind Americas current short

AIR ROUTES OF FUTURE

In the opinion of Dr. P. J. Van Zandt, former civil aeronautics board consult ant, neither the Pacific ocean or the North Pole area will figure outstanding ly in international air routes of the fu- ture He contends in a study, made for the BrookingS institute, that the chief air routes will be in the half of the world whose geographical center lies in west ern France. That half of the globe has 98 per cent of the worlds industry and 94 per cent of it's population. It includes most of Asia all of Europe, North Amer ica, much of South America and all of Africa. The vast Pacific ocean is on the other and more thinly populated half of the globe, Dr. Van Zandt points out. He contends that the very practical problem of cost will dictate the avoid ance of long ocean hops wherever pos sible, that the principal routes will not necessarily be the shortest distance be- tween terminal points and that the most travelled airways will not likely run even remotely parallel to the established steamship routes between major indus tria areas
 The survey indicates that the Pacific half of the globe will be adequately served by airways, but the great density, the close network, will be in the half of which point little south of western France is the geographical center-(Se- attle Journal of Commerce).

But 1t was done by impressing flocks of sheeted BedouinS to dig the trench, by locating the trench close to the aforementioned rail- road so the heavy pipe from the Middle East oil fields might be transported by tram. There were strikes, and occasionally it was neces syraotinwasa .eoiTnb mart a necessary to shoot few saboteurs.
 Water was the majors main in- terest from then on, and with his associates he was able, after the North African campaign, to re- mark pridefully that even through the thick of the last ten months the daily water ration was only twice below a gallon a day. This is, he adds, luxury in desert cam paigning. But after the water sys- tems at Sfax and Sousse were re- stored, his job was over.
 Pipeline to Battle" is written by a tough, intelligent officer in the typical British style which is to say, a style in which under statement is the rule. It is first class reading, adventure-filled, and one more proof that in writ ing about the war the bleeding heart style is wholly out of key.

Pipeline to Battle" is still an- other of the bits that eventually will complete the literary mosaic of war, rather an odd bit to turn up this early. It probably has turned up because it's author, Maj Peter w. Rainier, was re- tired after three years service After three years and 80,000 miles of travel, his share in the war was done. It was a strange share Major Rainier was the man who got water to the British armies in North Africa.
 When hostilities began, he had been sent from the high Andes to sea level by his doctor. He chose to meet the sea at Cairo, and his health was improved. But when he tried to enter the army, he was turned down since he was more than fifty. He kept trying, and eventually he was accepted, because he had once built shor railway. He ran the single-track line that leads westward from Egypt into the desert, after the Egyptian personnel disappeared.
 Then he was called in again, this time because he had once laid some pipelines-there seems. little in the engineering field that Ma for Rainier has not done, come to think of it. The brilliant idea of piping water to the army from Alexander's water mains had been conceived, and it was up to Raj

Fight Opens
For Coaches
Many in Service
Have Lost Jobs
BY EDGAR HAYES

One OF the unpublicized develop
ments of the recent meeting OF
the executive committee of the
Football Coaches Association was
the opening of a fight 10 restore
coaches TO their jobs after the
war.
Many coaches left good paying
positions TO join the service of
their country. They were given
a leave of absence from their
school and were sent on their way
with rosy promises that their job
would be waiting for them when
they returned, Since then many
have learned that the coach hired
temporarily in their place is now
the head coach. The old coaches
are free to seek employment else
where.
WON'T NAME SCHOOLS
While members who attended
the meeting refused 10 name any
schools guilty of this practice,
they said it was widespread
enough to cause considerable con-
Germ among members of the asso-
citation. What action would be
taken was not decided but the
members thought il was good
time TO give the matter some at
tention.
Among the outstanding coaches
in the service are 1t. Col. Bernie
Bierman of Minnesota. 1t. Frank
Leahy of Notre Dame, 1t. (j.g)
Paul Brown of Ohio State, 1t
Comdr. Jim Crowley of Fordham,
1t. Comdr. Sam Barry of South
ern California, Maj. Eddie Ander-
son of Iowa and 1t. Buck Shaw
Of Santa Clara.
This is a small number of the
vast army of coaches in the army
or navy.
ALL EXCEPT CROWLEY
With the exception of Crowley
| all these coaches are expected 10
return 10 their jobs. Crowley has
been signed as head coach of the
Boston Yankees in the National
Football League. His place al
Fordham will be taken by Slip
Madigan, former st. Mary's coach
who is filling in at Iowa for DR.
Anderson.
Another shift will send Ed. Nc.
Keever TO Boston College when
Leahy returns TO take over al
Notre Dame. McKeever was AS
sistant at Boston College under
Leahy and was offered the jot
when Frank left. Ed thought by
going with Leahy he could help
his boss get a good start at his
new post and has done a grand
job. Now that Leahy is firmly
entrenched at Notre Dame, Ed will
branch out on his own.
