QUERIES from clients;
V Q-My brother, Louie Wolf.
former Notre Dame football
captain, says in the novel "a
Tree Grows in Brooklyn" the
author, Betty Smith, referred
to the Brooklyn ball club as the
Buns" Louie says that is
an error; that at the time the
story takes place the Brooklyn
team was known as The
Robins" after Manager Wilbert
Robinson Is he right?
A-Louie is right.
However, at that time the
team was also referred TO az
The Dodgers" a nickname
which goes back TO around
1906. At that time Brooklyn
had so many trolley lines its
citizens were known as troll
ley dodgers" This was tagged
on TO the ball club and soon
shortened TO Dodgers.
"The Buns" is a nickname OF
recent origin. Old time Brook
lynites don't like il.
Q-Who said, II like the
color as long as it is rec" 1
asked at the Public Library and
not librarian knew.
A-Eugene Field said: ANY
color so long as it's red is the
color that suits me best.

of a shot in the arm" Doo-
little and his men injected that
shot with brilliant skill, despite
heavy losses.
But from the strictly military
point of view the undertaking
involved certain sacrifices, con-
sciously made in the interests Of
morale.
The reason we have been
rather careless in disclosing
aerial equipment to the enemy,
of course, is that our major
strategy still regards aviation
as an auxiliary force-just an

decision.
TT SHOULD not be forgotten
l. that the difficulties being en-
countered today by our bombers
in the battle of Germany are
due, in large part, To The fact
that we tipped our hand too
soon, thereby giving Hitler the
time to neutralize our tactical
superiority. We should avoid
making the same sort of mis-
take in ushering in the B-29.
A heavy blow inflicted on the
enemy can hurt us more than il

IN A previous dispatch we
Il underlined the critical impor-
lance of surprise in weapons,
tactics and strategy in this war.
That element has a direct bear
ing Oh the new stiPefbeH4bef',T The
Bog, announced some time ago
as in production. The new air
craft, it has been Indicated, is
twice as big as the present Fly
ing Fortress, but the details
must necessarily remain secret.
Will we obtain the maximum
benefits from the surprise fac
tor inherent in this new air
craft? The answer depends on
our military competence in
equipplng the plane itself and
on our understanding Of the sur
prise element as a tool of VIC
tory
To begin with, an increased
number of guns on the super
bomber. as compared with pres
ent bombers, would be futile un-
less these guns are of larger
caliber and longer effective
firing range than heretofore. If
5 the B-29 is to yield every ounce
of military advantage, its supe-
riority as weapon must be in
terms of quality even more than
size.
INDEED, greater bulk may be-
Il come a handicap if il is not
balanced by equivalent qualita-
tive increase in such things as
greater armor, more powerful
types of artillery and longer
firing range.
Assume its main armament
still consists of 5O-caliber ma
chine guns. In that case the
plane would present twice as
large target TO enemy planes
but would be unable to hold off
attacking planes any farther
than at present. Combat losses
could consequently be expected
10 be twice as great.
The possible advantages of
the new craft. in addition. can
be largely lost if we put it into
action before we have accunu-
lated enough B-29s for opera
