Druse Religion

Fou ded in the eleventh century,
the Druse religion holds that God
has revealed himself in human form
10 times, the last time in Cairo in
1890 A. D. Most religious tenets
are closely guarded secrets. Druses
reject prayer as presumptuous in
reference with the divine will. They
believe they are Immediately re-
incarnated at death in newborn
babe, so that their number remains
unchanged. They are permitted to
conform outwardly to other faiths.

In case you
don't know Rudy, s
l might tip you
all off that he's PERCY VILLA
been my friend for a good many
years, and it also happens that he
is one of the finest guys in shoe
leather.
Without any too much guessing,
Rudy must be one of Uncle Sans
fighting G. rs and besides I'd just
as soon have him on my side any
time a couple of six footers started
picking on me.
Rudy, like most of the boys writ
ing from the battle fronts, asks a
lot of questions, mainly about the
local sports situation. So we'll
write this column to Rudy and to
the many other boys and gals who
get this paper every week even
though they are thousands of miles
from home.
Boxing and wrestling during the
past six months have had a most
unusual season. Wrestling has
been just an average season, but
when you consider there were hard
ly any of the wrestling boys
around, then you will agree that
Promoter Tony Stecher isn't COM
planning. There haven't been
any what you call new faces. Z.
The best treat of the season was
the annual visit of King Kong Abe
Kashey, and as you might suspect,
he had 'em in laughter every min
ute he was in the ring. Seems
as though the fans can't get
enough of that man. Nagurski
and Cliff Gustafson didn't wrest-
lin one another. I guess there
is such thing as being too mad
at one another in this business.
Jackie Graves has been the talk
of the town and the Northwest. =.
Would you believe that in seven
matches the kid has drawn more
than 100000 at the auditorium ?
. And with some pretty fair OPP
ponents, too. His fight with
Charlie Riley drew $4,000. . . I'm
not ready at this time to tell you
whether or not the kid has cham
pionship ability or not. . I'll say
this though, and that is he is a darn
good prospect. According to
Stecher, Jackie will headline his
first boxing show in September and
then fight on an average of once or
twice a month. Before snow
falls we all should know whether
Graves will just be a local attrac-
ton or championship talent.
A few boys like LIE Roy Jackson,
Major Jones, and Charlie Riley will
all be back next season. . Each
has made lots of friends in these
parts.
Over in the Sanity City, the new
fight promoter is Eddie Williams,
who is a nice guy and has the
we'll wishes of almost everyone for
some success when he starts pro-
noting again in September. .
Williams ran two fight shows and
lost heavy on both of 'em. But
this being his first venture, he has
already profted and hopes to cash
in this fall and winter. He has
Elmer Ray booked for his main
attraction on one of his early fight
cards.
l look for a bigger and better
boxing season again this fall; the
boys are gradually coming back
and you'd never believe how many
people are hungry for sports.
Goodness Rudy, I didn't realize
that I've already covered so much
and isn't this a lazy way for me to
answer friends mail, I ask you?
The girls in the office think it
nice that you remember them, and
in return wish you the best of
everything. And again, kinda like
this idea, and do write again.
Sincerely yours,
PERCY VILLA.

These rockets were fired by cleo

Operational and tactical reports Of
rocket successes from field COM
war have increased markedly over
1912. After Analysing the wide de-
struction of enemy ground targets
by rocket-firing PATS of the Ninth
air force, the operational research
section of the force recommended
more extensive use of airborne rock
cts.
Since 1941 American rocket re-
search and development have been
forwarded by the war and navy de-
partments, working with scientists
of the Office of Scientific Research
and Development. The latter is re-
sponsible, among other things, for
initiating and supporting scientific
research on weapons of war. The
air technical service command tech
nicians, the army ordnance depart
ment, and civilian scientists of the
N.D.R.C. group, developed airborne
rockets for tactical use in the war
after only two years of research at
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, and 9TH
er proving grounds.
While rockets have great fire pow
er and mobility, and may be fired
without recoil, which increases their
adaptability for use where guns can
not be employed, only when fired
from high speed aircraft are they of
pinpoint accuracy. Ground FORCES
rockets have great possibilities as a
barrage weapon. Rocket launchers,
as compared with guns, are rela-
lively simple and cheap to manufac-
ture in mass production, according
to the National Defense Research
council and the army and navy.

Army and Navy Turn to Rocket Weapons
As Answer to Need for More Fire Power
Munitions Schedule
Greatly Stepped Up
To Meet Demands

War rockets are not new. The
Chinese used crude projectiles
in 1882 against the Tartars; the
British fired them at American
troops in the War of 1872, during
the battle of Blandensburg, when
they routed Stansbury's Ameri-
can brigade, and then marched
on Washington. Francis Scott
Key, going aboard a British
prison ship in the Chesapeake to
discover the fate of a friend,
was obliged to stay aboard dur
ing the British rocket ship at
tack on Fort McHenry. On the
basis of this experience, he
wrote the rocket references in
the American national anthem:
"And the rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air."
Rockets, however, were never
used before in Goth century warfare.
In this war these projectiles
have become important and destruc-
tive weapons. Their considerable
use in combat is one of the principal
weapon innovations of this war.
Amazing expansion of use and pro-
duction of American rockets, since
the bazooka was invented in 1e41,
has been reported by the army, the
navy and the Office of Scientific Re-
search and Development.
The increase in rocket production,
OF course, based on increased re-
quirements for rockets to use in
combat, is shown by these facts:
In November, 1914, the navy's bu-
reau of ordnance reported that by
the end Of the first quarter or early
in the second quarter of 1945, the
navy would be spending approx
mately S100,0O0,00O per month on
rocket ammunition alone, which is
as much as is now being spent per
month on all types of naval ammu-
milton.
In December, 1914, however, the
navy's bureau of ordnance said that
in few months navy rocket produc-
ton would be stepped up by nearly
300 per cent.

rocket orders of this war in 1941,

The Germans are using jet

in combat against Allied bombers

knowledged to have as principal ad-
vantage the speed with which it can

American fighter planes.

Scheduled increases in the output

advantage Of the jet-plane, its short
range. Because of its prodigious
consumption of fuel, it is necessary
that the plane be close to its base
for frequent refueling. Until the
range is heightened, its use as
bomber escort will be confined to
raids against targets reasonably
close to sources of fuel supply, ex-
perts point out. They add confident
ly, however, that the short range
will not always be an obstacle to ex-
tensive use of the plane.

Fourth of July skyrocket, these new
rockets are artillery type weapons,
with the rockets being equivalent to
shells and the launching devices
equivalent to guns. Fired from tubes
that vary in length and diameter
according to the type of rocket, the
weapons have warheads carrying ex-
plosives, or smoke, or incendiary
chemicals. The tube that extends to
the rear of the warhead contains
the propellant, a material that, after
being electrically ignited, generates
expanding gas. The gas, pushing
against the head, forces the rocket
forward.
