Air
Power

of bombs over a distance OF
10000 miles nonstop is greatly
exaggerated.
The actual accomplishments
Of the superbomber represent
marked progress in aeronautical
science.
They are another proof OF
American chronological genius
and can only suffer from arti-
fetal ballyhoo to pad the true
and remarkable performance.
Part of the explanation of the
superior performance, as II was
disclosed, Is in the ability or
the B-29 10 fly at great alti-
tudes.
A plane that can carry horse
power into the more rarefied air
can fly much faster, due TO the
reduced resistance of the air.
The other part of the exc
PLANTATION must be in decreased
resistance of the machine itself.
In short, it is obvious that
the BOG embodies valuable
aerodynamic and mechanical re-
finements.
These refinements are the
real secrets about our SUPER
bomberS. and the means nv
which they were accomplished
is what the enemy would like
TO know.
Even If Japan has an ex-
emplar, il will take some time
to analyze il, and still more
time to reproduce the novel
features.
In the meantime, we shall
reap the benefits of this intel

orator. and, therefore. theoreti-
cally it's range should be the
same.
DUT il has been disclosed that
ID the Bog flies at well over
300 miles an hour at high alti-
tudes.
We are told that the B-29 can
carry a greater load of eXplo-
siveS than any other airplane in
existence.
The one that hiterto held the
record was the British LancaS-
ter. disposing of eight long-tons
or roughly nine American tons.
Since the war department
would hardly bubble about
few pounds of advantage. II is
fair 10 deduce that the B-29 can
carry at least 10 tons.
If the planes top speed is
we'll over 800 miles an hour.
then we can ssume il can
cruise at 300 miles per hour.
Therefore, in its raid on
Japan. the Bog was in the air
roughly II hours. Knowing the
normal fuel requirements per
horsepower per hour at cruising
speed, we can figure out that
the trip cost roughly u tons in
fueb with perhaps a three-ton
margin of safety, or an aggre-
gate of IS tons.
This left five tons as the bomb
load potential,
ALL Of this speaks for itself.

There's a great deal to be said for the newest Aldrich Family com- edy, Henry Aldrich. Editor which opened last night at the 20th Cen tury Theatre and it's all swell fun! The action is faster, more exciting and more hilarious than in any pre- vious Aldrich picture from Para mount Henry's proble ems are weightier in his capacity as editor of his school paper than they've ever been before. He brings them about himself, as he always does, because of his ambition to increase the papers circulation even if he has to go outside the school for news to do it.
 AS a result of his over-zealous- ness Henry involves the school in lawsuit and loses his editorship. That's just the beginning of Henry's headache.

Synonyms

Common usage is greatly respon- sible for new words entering our dic- tionary, and advertising is largely responsible for common usage.
 For instance, in the camera and in the photograph fields, there are two names which have virtually be- come synonyms for products manu- factured in their respective indus tries. And, you will frequently hear a housewife mention a well-known trade name when discussing elec- trio refrigerators-w without actually meaning that particular make. These names, through common us- age, are fast becoming general.
 In many parts of America, par ticularly in the continental south and west, the term Bourbon has become almost synonymous with whiskey-American whiskey. In the far west, you rarely hear the word, whiskey. You hear two words Bourbon for American whiskey, and Scotch for foreign.
 On the eastern seaboard, by the same token, the term Rye is used instead of Bourbon again a sym onvu for American whiskey.
 Surveys have proven that man who asks for Bourbon in the west, or Rye in the east, is not necessarily conscious of the grains which are predominant ingredients in those whiskies. He just mentions Bourbon, or Rye, because of common usage of those terms in their respective terri tories.
 This writer has frequently heard people say in the east, l like that xYZ Rye, and in the west, l like that XYZ Bourbon. And yet that particular blended whiskey has neither Bourbon nor Rye dominant flavor characteristics. It does have a flavor that appeals to the American taste, because of skillful blending of a number of whiskies which may, basically, be Rye or Bourbon, or both.
 If you have found a blended whis- key that makes your particular taste buds happy, ask for it by name. If you merely say, "Give me Rye, 7" or "Give me Bourbon" your dis penser will take you literally be- cause he always tries to give you just what you ask for. If you ask for blended whiskey you'll get it!
 And, apsopos of blends, friend of ours recently asked, when we were discussing this subject, ''You know the greatest blend of all?" He an- swered his own question. "It is America and it territories-a blend of the cream of the crop of many nations"
 And who can disagree with that?
