Viewed abStractly, Jet-propulSlon
bids fair to be one of the OUT
stantding developments to come
out of the war. If those handling
this development were to revise
their outlook on certain natural
phenomena they would find that
jet-propulsion readily lends itself
to utilization of radio-transmitted
power.
At any rate, jet-propelled air
craft should prove to be one Of the
safest and most desirable means OF
travel known to man. In fact, even
in its earlier stages of development
it should prove to be safer and more
reliable than the whirligig type of
airplane since attention may be
given to the main and all auxiliary
mechanical units of an airplane
while in flight for the first time in
aviation history.
Viewed prospectively, it may be
that jet-propelled airplanes will be
developed for passenger and cargo
transportation along the same
lines as trucks and trailers have
been developed for highway serv-
ice, and locomotives and cars for
railroad transportation. Cabins for
the accommodation of passengers
and cargo carriers for the stowage
of freight, may be separate and
apart from the airplane proper
just as locomotives and cars in
railroad service. But hardly in the
identical manner, since self-con-
tanned passenger cabins and freight
carriers would require to be suspen-
ded with the possibility of several
units arranged side-by-side from
the under portion Of the aerial-lo-
connective.
Such an arrangement establishes
the need for two closely related

ial-locomotiYe and the other as q
marine basin or lagoon for use

III. S. NAVY ASSURES "CAPTTAL" LIFE
FOR WOMEN WORKERS IN WASHINGTON
BY NEA Service

BY NEA Service
Washington Women who have
Joined" the Navy here as civilian
typists and clerks are finding that
Washington is not q, city Of eight
girls to one man, no place to hang
your hat and three-hour waits for
lunch.
Though these conditions may
still hold for many other gov
eminent workers, the Navy has
overcome all he much-publicized
disadvantages, and is guaranteeing
everything from housing to enter?
tainment to the some 5000 women
workers 1t wants to add to its
bureaus here.
A new arrival Is met at the stat
ton by friendly Navy counselors.
First stop is Arlington Farms, a
group of IL residence halls erected
by the government. Girls can stay
there until permanent housing is
arranged.
Ahe Navy guarantees housing
in private, homes or boarding
houses. In private homes single
rooms cost SIS to $50 q month, and
double rooms $1S to $25. In board
ing houses, rooms. with meals cost
$45 to $55 a month. All housing
facilities are inspected and must
meet Navy standards.
Only qualifications are that ap-
plicants be II Ia years or older
physically fit and able to pass a
U. s. Civil Service test in tipping,
stenography or clerking. The Navy
does not want girls doing equal or
higher war work. or women who
might enter any Of the women's
services.
Local Civil Service offices or
U. s. Employment Offices will take
your applications, and the Navy
pays your fare to Washington.
And there's plenty Of after-work
fun, too. Amateur theatrical, ice
kating partie, Navy dance and
church function are part Of the
social activities planned for the
girls by counselors.

any way. Some time ago he asked
to have those terms lifted. His petit
ton to the court contained many
good names-the presidents of two
of the largest banks, the presidents
of two major utilities, one Of the
most prominent real estate men In
the city, several important bankers
from outside"
But the application was rejected
and, outwardly at least, Nephew
Jim has to try to run the show. He
doesn't show the talent for politics
that Uncle Tom did. Perhaps Uncle
Tom wouldn't be so successful now,
himself. The voters have had a
taste of good government and they
seem to like 1t.

OLD sBOSS" PAROLED
Jim Pendergast, nephew of the
ex-boss, still is trying to revive the
old machine. In Jackson county,
where elections are held on the
partisan basis, he was managed to
retain some lucrative patronage
posts. But in the city itself, where
elections are non-partisan-candi-
dates run with no party tags on
their f1ames-he can't seem to make
dent.
