JET PLANES: An article in the
official publication "Air Force"
states that the new jet-propelled
planes can travel at least hundred
miles faster than the present propel-
ler-driven planes. This is because
air becomes compressible at speeds
of 450 miles per hour, and the effect
becomes apparent on the propeller.
The jet-driven plane is not bothered
by this phenomenon.

WOOL:
Stocks Plentiful

Although the nation now has ade-
quate supplies of wool for clothing,
the two-pants suit with vest is
still forbidden by the War Produc-
ton board. The reason is the short
age of manpower, since it takes
more work to make those extra gar
ments. It's the same with pleats in
women's dresses, but insufficient
rayon goods for Innings is another
reason given.
Imports of wool from Australia
were not halted by the Japanese
navy, as was feared. Between 500
and 600 million pounds were brought
in last year and in 1912. This, plus
a domestic crop stimulated by sub
sidy of 10 cents pound has resulted
in stockpile of large proportions.

NATIONAL INCOME:
Record LeUeL

Doomed by the war effort, the ma
tional income of the nations 80 mil
lion workers scared to 142 billion
dollars in 1913, with about two-thirds
of it spent for goods and services,
the department of commerce an
nounced.
Rejecting the country's full swing
into high speed production during
194S, income increased rs billion dol
lars over 1912, but rejecting the
continued shortage Of civilian goods,
expenditures only went up 8h bill
lion dollars.
From July to March, government
spending reached so billion dollars,
with Sc billion dollars paid out for
the war effort. During this period,
government receipts totaled Is bill
lion dollars, leaving a deficit Of al
most IS billion dollars. Because OF
the recent fourth war loan drive,
the government had a cash balance
of 10 billion dollars.

Beverage Purchases

Of the 80 billion dollars that con-
sumers spent for goods and services
in 1913, six billion dollars were ex-
pended for alcoholic beverages, the
department of commerce revealed.
This brought expenditures for liquors
up to $46 per person, compared with
500 in 1912 and $26 in 1889.
Despite the record expenditures
for alcoholic beverages, however,
less liquor was actually drunk, price
increases accounting for the rise.
Less than "a million gallons Of hard
liquor were consumed in 1913,
compared with 88 million gallons in
1912. Wine consumption dropped be-
low the 1912 level of 112 million
gallons.
Total beer consumed increased
during 1913, however, chiefly be-
cause of rise in demand from 10
million to A million barrels of the
Notified type.

Germany repeatedly is receiving

gian Congo mines by an ingenious
smuggling route.
A half million carats have been
reaching the Reich from Congo an

The diamonds are consigned to

State, Local Agencies
 To Aid Rehabilitation
Medical Society Claims Work Essentially Medical
 Problem; Exclusive Federal Control Protested

Private physicians will be keenly conscious of restoration and re-em- ployment of the handicapped under this program which provides fed- eral aid to state agencies, in order to enable them to furnish the nec- essary services. These services in- clude medical and surgical care, disqualification, physical and occu- pational therapy, prospthetic appli- ances, vocational counselling and training, tools and equipment and placement in employment.
 One of the most important fac- tors in rehabilitation, after adequate medical treatment, is selective place ment, matching physical ability with job requirements. Plans for pre- placement examination and recom- local basis and operated with the mendations to employers, set up on assistance of physicians and others can make a substantial contribu- tion othe success of the rehabilita- tion program.
