USUAL COMPLICATIONS

The fact that so-called sophiSti-
Gates wife and mother-in-law are
there in the company OF the young
mans fiancee. also adds TO the
complications, which we must
admit, every one around us found
Historically funny.
Personally. we laughed in spots,
but we believe that il was due to
the contagion of chortles around
us. because the show is not par
ticularly funny one.
When Il isn't lewd. it's corny.
Girls shrek and run around in
sheets, comedians fall on their
faces-and other places-an in
ebriate imbibes several quarts and
all the characters give out with
gags that vaudeville used up
years ago, we thought.
AMUSING BUSINESS
There are several amusing bits
OF business like the upper gag
and the wigs in the second act,
but don't anticipate anything very
clever.
Skeets Gallagher is very funny
as the wise guy and he times his
laughs well, which, of course. he
ought to do, considering how long
he's been in the thing.
Benny Baker Is wide eyed and
dumb enough for the role. but he
lacks the hick quality which made
Buddy Ebsen so good in the part.
VAUDEVILLE TEAM
However, the boys work to-
gether like a vaudeville act and If
one drops a laugh, the others
right there TO pick ii up for him.
The girls are fairly attractive.
which is their sole excuse for be-
ing on the stage. Peggy Drake Is
a cutie and a couple of the girls
in the Cosemtarian are good to
look upon. although the strip
tease dancer, Frances Knight,
isn't so much.
Sheila Bromley, Dora Clement
and Mario Dwyer have the other
leading feminine roles.
Edward Lilley has done the
staging.

Reasons for Optimism

had some good reasons
for his optimism about the plane
industry. He disagreed with
most estimates that aviation
would be lucky to hold on to 10
per cent of its present volume
after the war. He insisted that
20 per cent would be nearer TO il.
And Martin went on 10 eX-
pound his reasons. FIRST of all.
he forecast large peacetime
air force in this country. Sec
ond. present fighting planes
and bombers Willie Obsolete
When the war ends and the plane
manufacturers will be kept busy
for some time building the ones
now on the drawing boards and
in mockups.
Then he pointed to the COM
mercial growth, which has been
tremendous during the war and
will be even more so after the
war. The factor OF interest in
private flying and the safety
features that are ready FIR tfIC-
postwar private plane are adj
-ditional- reasons for the Balti-
more pioneers optimism.
Martin. like all great aviation
men, is a visionary. He admits
IT, He has been flying since
1909 and he believes in IL. Per-
hapS his prediction of aviation
being the worlds leading indus
try will not seem to visionary
in 1860.

Warning on Brakes

Owners and drivers of auto
mobiles and trucks were
warned today against the use
OF unapproved petroleum base
brake fluids in the hydraulic
braking systems of their We
hicles. Automotive engineers.
in a statement released by the
Automobile Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, pointed 10 the danger
of brake failures and accidents
if harmful oils are used in the
brake lines.
The warning was given be-
cause il has been learned that
large quantities of a special pc
troleum base brake fluid, de-
signed for use only in military
aircraft. have been offered for
sale as surplus recently by the
government.
Swelling of the rubber cups
in brake master cylinders and
deterioration of the flexible
hose lines can result in a few
days if even few drops of Pc
troleum oil are used in the
braking system. the engineers
warned. They advised that care
full cleaning and examination Of
the brake system, plus replace
ment of rubber parts, will be
required in any instance where
petroleum fluid has accidentally
been used. The effects of the
petroleum are TO swell the rub
Der parts and make them
spongy and weak. completely

BUILDING Record

Britain has built 722 major
vessels, over 25.000 tanks. over
100000 airplanes and almost
100000 machine guns and SUBJ
machine guns. Her production
rates have increased throughout
the war. In 1910 she built only
IL heavy bombers, in the first
half OF 1914 she was building
heavy bonbers at the rate of
$500 yearly.
In 1910 she built 1900 fight
ers; in the first half of 1914
she was building fighters at the
rate of 1900 a year. In 1910
she built 1,400 tanks; in 1913
she built nearly 1900.
Britain started the war with
a total ocean-going merchant
fleet of 17,500,000 gross tons.
BY the end OF 1943 she had lost
a total of 11,500,000 gross tons,
equivalent to more than % of
her entire fleet at the outbreak
of the war. She succeeded in
building 100000 tons in Brit
ish shipyards in the same period.
despite the heavy demand of
naval vessels and the need TO
allocate half OF the total avail
able manpower for repair work.
She acquired the use of other
ships by cash purchase. lend
lease and charter, but the size OF
the merchant fleet under the
British flag at the end of 1913,
after allowing for ships which
will be returnable To other
flags, was only I3,500,000 gross
tons.
