In desperation, he approached
School Supt. Dewey Miller, al

if it would be possible TO borrow
40 or l5' boys as volunteers to

Supt. Miller went the limit:
A free afternoon was declar-

3 p hours they manicured the
grounds to perfection.
The city's bill for the 262 5

Nazi propaganda floods the
neutral countries of Europe
with radio ppuldcasts, pamph-
lets, leaflets, news-service ma
terial, newspaper subsidies and
so on. This is in addition TO
Nazi efforts TO keep its Satel-

SIX AGENCIES
At least six specialized news
services are at work in Turkey,
two of them funneling the Ger

Turkish newspapers" Seven
daily neWscasts are beamed at
Turkey from Berlin and the
Satellite capitals.
Experts propagandists work
with the Turkish motion picture
industry, with the periodical
press, with booksellers and
magazine distributors. German
films are designed for the
Turks, German products are
advertised so as to be brides.
The Germans cultivate Turk
ish diplomatic and military Of
ficials, and Turkish newspaper
men, professors, doctors, au-
thors, scientists. They offer
professorships, fellowships and
outright brides.
In general way the same in
tensive propaganda campaign is
carried on in Sweden. German
propagandists swarm through
Spain. Some Spanish newspap-
ers are subsidized by the Ger
man Embassy. Others are try
ing to hamstring future re-
lations between this country

Revisions in Army plane produc-
ton schedules, including a sharp
cutback in Lightnings to make way
for production Of q powerful new
fighter plane, were announced over
the week end by the Once OF War
Information.

ties in which to build the new fight

The action affects i've of the
Nations largest aircraft plants.
owl said most of the changes in
production schedules were made so
that greater emphasis can be placed
on the manufacture OF giant bomb
ers, long-range fighters and big
transports needed for the final as
sault on Japan.
Slight Labor Release.
-Four Of the contract changes, owl
said, will result in the release of no
labor, while there was no data avail
able as to release of workers at the
fifth plant-the Douglas plant in
Oklahoma City.
The cutback at Douglas resulted
in elimination from schedules of
1926 CATS, the popular transport
known to the airlines as the DC-3.
The report stated that calls for
larger transports reduced demands
for this model The cutback will be
gradual, extending through 1945.
No future plans were announced for
the Oklahoma plant.
In the Curtiss- Wright plant in
Buffalo, N. Y, production of ABS
P-40s, the Warhawk fighter, was
stopped to enable increased output

duction.
Bell Aircraft's future schedule of
P-63 fighters, the new King Cobra,

that they may need additional
workers.
The King Cobra Is the successor
to the P-3o, the Bell Aircobra,
which the Russians regarded 20
highly because Of Its fire power. The
P-39 was the first American plane
to be equipped with a cannon.
In the NTH cutback, 261 PT-13s,

@. How are the members of the
electoral college chosen?-T. r.
A. Members of the electoral COL
lege are selected in accordance with
State laws. In some States they are
appointed by the Governor; in
others, they are actually elected by
the people, but all are chosen on
the same day-the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November
g. What proportion of American
families live in apartments?-K. E. l..
A. 1t is estimated that more than
13 per cent live in apartments.
Q. Is it not a fact that the name
Of Rip Van Wrinkles dog in the play
of that title is Schneider?-T.H H.
A. 1t is. The original story by
Washington Irving was adapted for
the stage by Joseph jefferson and
Dion Boucicault and many new
touches were introduced. Apparent
ly the name of the dog was changed,
for in the story it is Wolf.
@. How many chaplains has the
Navy M. G.
A. The Navy Department says
that the total number of chaplains
in the Navy as Of July 3, 1914, was
2,179.
Q. How old is the Belgian ma
tional anthem?-O. S.L
A. The present version of La
Brabanconne was written in 1860 by
Charles Rogier and the music COM
posed by Francois van Campenhout
1779-1848). The anthem has had
three sets of words since 1t was first
sung at the Theater de la Monnaie
in Brussels, September IL, 1890.
@. What present-d day language is
most closely allied to English?-
A. K.
A. With the possible exception of
the dialect of the Frisian Islands, OIL
Holland, Dutch is the nearest rela-
tive Of English.
@, Which has the sharpest eyes,
vulture, an eagle, or a hawk?-
E. L. H.
A. Eagles, hawks and vultures are
so closely related that it is a very
fine point to tell which has the
keenest eyesight. The eyesight of
the vulture is not quite as powerful
as that of the eagle or hawk. The
eagle will possibly ascend to a higher
altitude than hawk, and this is
possibly the reason for believing that
its eyesigft is the sharper Of the
two.
@. How is the floss extracted
from milkweed pods S. I.G.
A. The floss is extracted by roll
ing, ginning and blowing. The plant
in Petoskey, Mich, where this is
done is said to be the only one of its
kind in the world.
O. What per cent do authors
usually receive when publishing on
royalty basis?-S. E. S.
A. An established author may get
Is to 20 per cent of the published
price for every copy of his book sold,
and a much higher rate for a best

To the man who thinks
he should get q loan

THERE are some money problems
L a loan can't solve. So before you
borrow be sure that loan is the one
best way out of your difficulty. If
you do get a loan, borrow only as
much as you really need and plan to
pay it back promptly to reduce the
cost. This is certainly one time not to
be in debt if you can avoid it.
Borrow without sndorsers
