Nuns Produce
Play to Learn
About Stage

HOLLYWOOD - U.H - A
group of nuns attending linn
maculate Heart College here
have become actresses.
The Is Sisters from % differ
ent orders in the United States
believed they would profit more
by their summer course in play
production if they learned by
doing.
For their production they
chose Martinez-Sierra's comedy
drama Cradle Song" The set
ting is convent in Spain where
one of the nuns becomes foster
mother to little girl founding.
The child grows up among
the Sisters at the convent know
ing little about the outside
world. When she reaches young
womanhood she falls in love
with a young engineer and has
to leave the Sisters and her
home.
The only role in the play not
taken by a Sister will be that of
the young girl. Fleurette Bon
pane, a student at Immaculate
Heart, will play the part.
The Rev. Mother Eucharia,
Immaculate Heart college presi-
dent, approved the venture, un.
precedented in religious group
annals. All Is nuns are play di-
rectors or teachers at several
Catholic schools throughout the
country.
They will handle stage light
ing, settings, and makeup be-
sides the acting roles. Sister Ma.
RE de Lourdes will have the act
ual direction of the cast al
though Prof. Joseph F. Rice will
supervise the entire production.
The Sisters plan TO give two
performances for mixed audi
ences of different religious
faiths in addition to those before
members of the Catholic hier-
archy, school officials, and stu
dents.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-UD-
Two years ago it was stretch
of level Blue River valley bot
tomland, studded with the con-
crete pillars of a long-dead
motor speedway. Neighbors
caught messes of catfish in the
flooded underpass to what was
once the infield.
Today that land is the site OF
the Nays number one engine
plant, where the new R-2800-C
Double Wasp engine is moving
off the assembly lines to power
planes SO new they can't yet be
designated even by symbols.
Chances are, the neighbors
who caught fish in the old race
track underpass are working on

chine tools which, like grea,

cision holes in cylinder heads OF

FARM AND CITY
Conferred in a city which pre-
viously had been known only for
its great market centers-for its
beef and its grain-the plant has
drawn thousands of workers
into its precision job of turning
out engines to power the Hellcat
and the Corsair and the Thun-
derbolt to new and better
achievements in the air.
1t took those farmers from
the fields and the workshops of
the adjoining rural areas and
tossed them into an educational
melting pot with stenographers
from downtown skyscraper Of
fees.
Today, they're all making en-
gines. The plant must d.aw al
most as many more thousands
before it hits its peak-it must
hire 200 workers a day if the
production goals set by the Navy
and the Army for this type OF
engine are met.
More hundreds of farm people
and city workers are going into
the company's training school,
learning their one job to fit into
the pattern of the huge plant.

Officials-has been thrown out
over an eight-county area.
80 ACRES ROOTED
Within the plant, there are
5000 machine tools. Floor space
under roof totals about 80 acres.
In all, there are about 1850 diff
ferent part numbers in one OF

Giant Midwest Plant Turns
Out TopfIight Navy Motors

To teach the MidWesterners
how to build engines, Pratt g..
Whitney established its training
school, said to be the largest in
the nation.
Through its training, Walter
Stinson, VII | t e-haired former
guard at the Missouri state pris-
on, became a turret lathe oper-
ator. Earl Chambers who had
run a road show playing such
dramas as Ten Nights in a
Barroom," became a Billiard
lathe specialist. Charles Boden-
hamer, a cook, became a radial
drill operator, to cite some ex-
amples.
More than 5000 people al
ready have learned their new
skills in that school. Thousands
more will travel the same course
to build an engine the like of
which the enemy will not know
until he sees it in action.

Mexicans Prefer
Widest Variety
in CIGARETTES

MEXICO CITY, d. F.-WD-
The Mexican tobacco industry
has adjusted itself to war condi-
tions, but it still continues to
produce more than so brands of
cigarettes for Mexican smokers,
who have at least that many
tastes in tobacco.
Mexican manufacturers learn
ed long ago they could not meet
market demands by producing
one or two brands, so single
plants may manufacture 20 or
80 different kinds.
The tobacco industry is one of
the heaviest contributors to the
Mexican national treasury, con-
tributing approximately g.
100000 pesos (about $4,000, 900
U. S. annually. One-half the
selling price goes to the gov
eminent in taxes.
Mexican cigarettes contain 80
per cent Mexican tobacco, but
American, Turkish, Virginia,
Cuban and other imported types
have been used for blends. With
restricted shipping space, it has
become more and more difficult
to import even the American
and Cuban tobaccos.
In spite of the rising cost Of
production and taxes, Mexican
cigarettes are among the worlds
cheapest One brand of NINA
ture cigarettes is sold for seven
centacos (less than two cents
U. S. for a package of 20. The
luxury kind sells for so centavos
"a U. S. dime). American-made
cigarettes cost at least twice
their u. S. price in Mexico.
AS for the wide variance in
taste for tobacco types, tobacco
men say the climate is the re-
sponsible agent, and Mexico has
one of the most varied climates
in the world.

(P) - A scared human skeleton

Hidden TB
Cases May
Soar Skyward

ST. LOUIS, Nov. IA - The
number of hidden cases" of tu-
berculosis in this country may
run up into the hundreds of
thousands" a United States
Public Health Service (USPHS)
official said today.
In an address to the 38th an
nual meeting of the Southern
Medical Association, DR.. Her
man E. Hilleboe, chief Of
USPHS's tuberculosis Control
Division. said a recent survey
among 10000 adults working
in war industries disclosed that
Is per cent showed X-ray evil
dence of pulmonary tuberculos'
is.
This percentage, he declared,
bore out previous estimates of
the incidence of disease among
adults in the general population.
And yet, Hilleboe added, act
ual reported new cases of dis
ease annually fall far below the
estimated incidence, so that 1t Is
reasonable to assume that hun
dreds of thousands remain hid
den.
Thus, he said, further devel-
opment is needed in a control
program aimed at plague
which kills $4,000 Americans
annually, causing one in every
six deaths among Whites and
one in every three deaths among
Negroes between the ages of 20
and "a.
While he said there still is no
known specific cure for the dis
ease, the malady could be ar
rested if detected early enough,
and greater protection to the
general public can be had by
finding and isolating active cas-
eS.
Signal advances in case find
ing have been made, he said, as
result of the development Of
recent techniques for making
mass X-rays of large segments
of population.
Since l94l, Hilleboe declared,
100000 small-film X-ray pic
lures have been taken-includ-
ing 100000 members of the
Armed Forces-and he added:
''The possibility Of increasing
this number to more than 1O0,-
100000 in next few years is en-
tirely feasible"
He also urged public assist
ance" on a national scale to in
sure tuberculosis patients
against wage loss while under
going treatment-so that suffer
ers would remain hospitalized
until they obtained the maxi
mum benefit.
