SEE REACTION

Some also argue that there will
be a business reaction after the
war, and that the old "crisis
psychology" will favor New Deal
relief policies.
But if any mandate was given
by the election. il was weak and
indefinite. This will come home
TO even the more enthusiastic New
Deal politicians il they start any
thing too radical.
First. the popular majority was
small. and few hundred thou
sand votes in the right places
would have given the victory to
the Republicans.
Second, the majority continued
declining trend. indicating the
approach of time when il will
reach zero.
Third. any mandate that the
vote indicates is mixed. the three
main elements being the conserva-
tive solid South" the keep-the-
commander-in-chief element. and
the radical labor and Communist
vote.

DIFFICULT TO HANDLE

When I hear how the New Deal
henchmen are meeting and schem-
| ing to prod their chief Tor needle
him) to do more radical things, /
remember that Mr.. Roosevelt has
often been difficult tohandle. Just
now he seems 10 be set on retain
ing the services of such men as
Hull. Byrnes and Jones, who are
known to be relatively conserva-
tive. And as long as he retains
such men in key positions, he is
not apt TO respond too much to
radical needing"
And don't forget that the more
serious New Dealers. as well as
many others, will never forget
ID that the war saved the New
Deal from a breakdown on account
of continuous unemployment, and
CD that American business or
ganization won the war. II is
generally recognized that the pri-
vate enterprise system made a
great contribution TO victory. 1t
may even turn out that this time
Mr.. Roosevelt meant it when, in
his recent campaign speeches, he
pledged his loyalty 10 the profits
system.

that drives the rocket upward and
forward. And there is a still more
familiar example, the rotary lawn
sprinkler. The jets Of water 20 in
one direction, and the reaction caus-
es the frame that holds the nozzles
to revolve in the opposite direction.
You might say that the lawn sprink-
Ter was whirled by jet propulsion.
AN aspect of jet propulsion that
puzzles many people is that in the
substratosphere, where the air is
very thin, an airplane propeller has
hard time. 1t has less and less air
to bite into and pull the plane
along" according to Harry a. Win
ne, engineering vice president Of
General Electric. Actually up there,
the propellerless jet turbine works
better, because the air resistance
on the plane is less, and the jet
power plant doesn't have to have
air to push against. It doesn't push
against anything that it doesn't pro-
vide itself The jet OF gases moves
in one direction; the inevitable re-
action pushes the plane in the OPP
posite direction. Theoretically, the
jet propulsion principle would work
just as well in perfect vacuum
though, Of course, some way would
have to be found to support the
plnne and provide the air for the
operation Of the jet propulsion tur-
bine"

Industries Achieve
Salvage Record

HELENA, Aug. Industries Of
the northwest reported salvaging a
total of 233,349 tons Of material
principally iron and steel, during
the first six months OF 1914, accord
ing to a report received today by
Joe l.. Markham, Director, Indus
trial Salvage Committee for Mon
tana. This represents an attainment
of 1863 per cent of the six months
quota assigned to industries Of this
Region Industries Of Montana led
the four states with 1888 per cent
of quota as well as leading The ra-
ton.
In the many phases Of homa
front war effort, there has been nc
finer, more consistent performance
than that given by Northwestern in
dustries in support Of salvage pro-
grams" Mr.. Markham stated. He
added however, that farm scrap col
lections were running behind
quotas,

enumerated examples of the waste
of water. One cited was where a
patron was sprinkling his lawn and
water from it was flowing down
the gutter for two or three blocks
distant. That is frequent occur
renee, they said. One man said he
couldn't keep certain lawns under
his care green under the present
water rationing. A check was kept
on that lawn and it was learned
that sprinkler was left going or
one spot for four hours--a heavy
waste of water. Mr.. Rawlings also
emphasized that an enormous vol
ume of water is wasted because of
leaks in faucets and similar equip
ment. He said one might think the
waste from a dripping faucet does
not amount to much but when that
IS common throughout the city, the
volume OF water lost is surprisingly
large. II use Of water were metered,
these leaks would generally be cor
rected by the patron, he said.

EUREKA, July 3l.--Mr. and Mrs.
Gregor received four letters from
Melr son, 1t Lawrence Greeor, who
was reported missing in action over
Holland on July 7. The Aetters were
written on a recent trip he made
through Russia by way OF italy and
back to England. One letter was
written in Russia, two in Italy and
one on July 8 in England. He spoke
Of having completed 4 wonderful
trip but did not mention the nature
Of the mission. Lawrence was ex-
pected home in August having more
than completed his allotted number
Of missions. Previous TO- this his
plane had been shot up three TIMES
but he had always managed to re-
turn safely with his crew. In June
he received three decorations,
among them being the D. +. c. and
the Oak Leak Cluster. Only those
who have experienced the grim re-
alities Of war can realize the dread

Gives Interesting
Notes On New Jet
Propulsion Turbine

SCHENECTADY, July 3l.--Gen-
eral Electric's second largest war
time plant, built two years ago for
the manufacture of war equipment
which is no longer required by the
allied forces, is being converted for
the production Of jet propulsion air
craft turbines, it was announced
here today by the company.
Because OF its more than 40
years experience in the manufacture
of steam turbines, and since World
War of the turbosupercharger, now
used on practically all American
bombing planes General Electric
was chosen by the War Department
to head-up the production of this
new type fighting weapon, Even
though an entire plant of more than
100000 square feet of floor space is
being converted for this work, its
output will not be sufficient to
meet governments requirements, so
General Electric has turned over the
Jet propulsion drawings and specl-
fications, prepared by its engineers,
to another large corporation form
erly engaged in manufacture of air
plane engines.
The jet propulsion airplane tur-
bine, first conceived by Flight Com
mander Frank Whittle and built by
the British Thomson-Houston Com
pany, Ltd, an associate of General
Electric, was sent to this country
for further development by Gen
eral Electrics engineers. Mr.. Whit
tie came from England soon after,
and spent three months here, but
kept his identity SO well concealed
that few knew of his presence, even
though associated with him in the
G-E laboratory. A number of units
have since been built, and the first
OF these new type planes to fly in
thus country was equipped with a
Jet power plant manufactured by
General Electric.
The basic principle which under
lies Jet propulsion is not new. It mas
been known for hundreds Of wears,
since the days of Calico and Isaac
Newton. The new power plant is a
successful and ingenious application
OF one OF Newton's law of motion
the law which says that to every
action there is an equal and OPP
posite reaction.
This principle is familiar to ev-
eryone. It Is the backward kick"
OF the gases produced in skyrocket

censors are heartless?
Here are few hints from the Red
Cross on what to send prisoners of
war and on how to pack boxes.
BOOKS. Men in prison camps want
good reading. Publishers will mail
your selections for you. Books must
be free from controversial material,
Novels written before the war, his
torlcal novels, and mystery stories
with no war angle stand the best
chance of getting by the censors.
Many Americans have tried to
send cartoons and literature that
made sport of the enemy. They
never left this country, for our CEN
sors knew they would not pass the
Germans and would only take up
space that should be given to legiti-
mate mail.
FOOD. American prisoners want
food most of all, but they want food
that will be edible when it reaches
them. Mothers chocolate cake with
the gooey icing is one thing at home.
It's quite another after two months
of being bounced over ocean waves.
Small cookies make the trip in much
better shape.
Examiners at the Censor office
suggest dehydrated foods like soups,
and fruits and vegetables. Vltamln
pills are favored too - especially
the kind that have several different
vltamins in each pill.
CLOTHING. Small items of clothing
are gratefully received. But some

The American Red Cross has

families do not realize that it may
take two months for packages to
reach prison camps. Lightweight
clothing mailed in summer may
reach the prisoner when snow is on
the ground.
ToILETRIES. These are always well
come, of course, but they should be
packed carefully, especially when
put in the same box with food. Lids
should be tightly fastened 80 that
the contents do not spill. 1t is wise to
separate foodstuffs and toilet articles
and fix them in place. One examiner
at the Censor's office commented:
packages would get through
much faster if we didn't have to
spend time taping lids on cans,
scOopin9 up sugar grains and
removing broken glass"
Although every package for a
prisoner of war is repacked at the
Censor's office with ingenious secu
rity, the contents have in many cases
been damaged by the time they
reach the examiners. and damaged
contents must be removed.
All mail is sent free to prisoners
of war except air mail, which costs
SIX cents.
SPECIFICATIONS. Each person re-
ceiving a label for a prisoner-of-war
package is gwen list of acceptable
items. Glass containers are ruled
out; 50 are vacuum-sealed cans. No
box may weigh over l pounds. nor
exceed l8 inches in length or AZ
inches length and girth combined.
A little care and thought will go
a long way towards bringing a
welcome touch of home to prisoners
m strange and distant lands.
