Christian Scientists
Hear Lesson On Spirit

Spirit was the subject of the
Lesson-Sernon in all Christian
Science churches and societies
yesterday.
The Golden Text was from Joar
4:24. God is a spirit: and they
that worship him must worship
him in spirit and in truth
Among the citations which
comprised the Lesson-Sermon
were tae following from the BIZ
BILE: THAT which is born of the
flesh is flesh and that which is
born of the Spirit is Spirit. The
wind bloweth where it listeth, and
thou nearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it COM
eth, and whittier it goeth: so is
every one that is born of the
Spirit" (Jonn 3:6, 81.
The Lesson-Sermon also in
Guided the following passages
from the Christian Science text
book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures, by Mary
Baker Eddy: 1T is a grave mis-
take to suppose that matter is
any part of the reality of intelli-
gent existence, or that Spirit and
matter, intelligence and non-in-
telligence, can commune togeth-
er. Spirit blesses man, but man
cannot tell whence it cometn.
BY it the sick are healed, the sor-
rowing are comforted, and the
SHINING are reformed. These are
the effects of one universal God,
the invisible good dwelling in eter-
nal Science" pages 70, 78).

TOWN NEAR
 HIDE0UT OF
 HITLER HIT

ROME, Feb. 21 = Rocket-firing Thunderbolts of the U. s. Twelfth Airforce made the first attack of the war yesterday on Hitler's prl- vate city of Berchtesgaden, moun- tain hideout in the high snow capped Bavarian slopes. Planes sweeping in from Italian bases pumped rockets at rail yards, and at low levels, ripped tracks, cars and locomotives. Other targets were smashed in and near Berchtes- gaden, which may be the most heavily fortified spot in all the Reich. T~-
 The U. s. planes ran into in- tense Hack and small arms fire in this area. It is speculated the surprise strike was directed agains. movement of top personnel, sup plies and Nazi files from Berlin. There was no indication that Hit ler's retreat on Obersaltzburg itself was attacksd.

 The next step found the engi- neers transferring the stack of glass cloth to another mold where the assembly was covered with a blanket and securely sealed.
 A vacuum pump was next brought into play. and, finally. the mixture was placed in an oven to cure the plastic. @sys
 Inside the inner. and outer layers of the plastic was .balsa wood core, forming ''sandwich" type of construction "
 This type of construction proved to be the answer to flock of engineers prayers, because it was so inherently rigid that it allowed them to do away with all stringers and nearly all of the bulkheads- items which are incorporated in the mine airplane, to strengthen it, but which add con- siderable undesired weight. Such were the laboratory meth- ods offered by the Air Technical Service Command engineers. Factory production, however, is something else again, and quite few kinks have been hit upon since those first lab tests which are cut ting down the curing time to enable u- to get these glass air. planes into the blue. but fast.
 At last reading, the curing time was being slashed to the point where it could be measured in minutes rather than hours! More streamlined, more efficient from the aerodynamic standpoint, the Axis airmen will find these glass planes pretty hard to break!

 Glass, to you and me, is brit tie. breakable substance, and the thought of landing at, say 30 per in a glass plastic job, may include shudder or two. However, here gre the facts:
 Constructed of glass fiber lami- mated with a newly developed con tact resin, the first successful laminated plastic aircraft primary structure proved 50 per cent stronger than a wooden fuselage or a pure strength-weight basis! We'll, say you, how does a glass fiber job stand up under enemy fire?
 Drawbacks Overcome The Wright Field engineers have not overlooked possible drawbacks here, either, in conceiving, design ing and constructing the first glass airplane.
 They found that the fuselage didn't flower" under actual gun fire tests. Furthermore, high ex- plosive projectiles failed to de- tomato because of the materials low density.
 The way the fiber glass sheets which compose the fuselage CT "body" of the plane were made brings to light a marvellous we'd ding of electronics and engineer ing.
 First, piles of glass cloth were impregnated with a resin. Then they were stretched over mold for the purpose of building the laminated sheets to the size, shape

WRIGHT FIELD, DAYTON O. No so long ago the experts would have laughed had you men tioned the possibilities of wood fabricated planes but that was before the development of the famed R. A. F. Mosquito.
 An even shorter time back you would have received an. amused, perhapsaeven a. tolerant. and pity ing smile, had you suggested that just possibly airplaness could be constructed to some advantage with, of all things, GLASS!
 Today it is perfectly safe to speak of glass airplanes with the assurance that no one is going to sneak up on you with strait jacket.
 The glass airplane is fact.
 The engineers of the Air Tech nical Service Commands Engi- neering Division at Wright Field, Dayton, O., have taken the wraps of their sleek-looking glass fiber plastic basic trainer plane, and given an amazed world a hint of things to come.
 Certainly the manufacturers of automobiles, commercial aircraft, boats and homes will do double- take.
 What is this glass fiber plastic plane? It is a lot of things.
 For one thing, the unique fuse lage, constructed as it is of the new material, is being praised fulsomely as the key to reduced plane weight and to a whole new 6eld of aerodynamics-and open
