THINGS
THE SUBMARINE
IS CENTTDIES nTn

The history of the submarine
goes back several centuries. In
1924 a Dutchman, Cornelius Dreb-
bel, demonstrated a submarine on
the Thames River in England, be-
fore James l.
During the American Revolu-
ton, the Turtle, an American sub
marine, tried to sink an English
man-of-War by attaching a gun
powder charge to its hull. The
attempt failed. In the first years
of the 10Th century, the AIneri-
can inventor, Robert Fulton built
a submarine for Napoleon Napoleon
does not seem to have been i'm
pressed with the performance Of
the craft.
In 1854, during the American
Civil War, a Confederate sub
marine succeeded in setting a tor
pedo against the hull Of the Hous-
atomic, a Union warship that was
blockading Charleston Harbor.
The Housatonic vas blown up.
The submarine also sank when
water came pouring into 1t

Milk for Europe's Youth

With an immediate working capital
of $780, 900 the Children's Emergency
Fund set up under the United Nations
proposes to provide milk for as many
needy children in Europe and China as
can be reached, with supplementary
food added if possible.
The ultimate financial goal is $780,
600. 900 with donor nations contribut-
ing in proportion to their ability. If the
Fund can do so, it has planned to give
the hungry youth of impoverished
countries, up to a total of 3,250,000, the
relief they need to develop healthy
bodies.
AS TO today the United States has
authorized an appropriation of $15,-
900, 900 and has promised another $685.

its unfavorable monetary situation, is
pledged to give 6 per cent of whatever

Surely the purpose and the ends of
the project are too commendable to be
questioned. Unless the children of
Europe and of China can grow into
strong and healthy adults Europe and
China cannot hope to develop citizens
of normal mentality, capable Of direct
irg and conducting the affairs of their
country later on. And, as elsewhere in
the world, Europe and China must look
to their juvenile generation for leader
ship in a few years.
The matter of administration and
distribution of milk and whatever other
foods are to be used for feeding chill
dren abroad becomes important, how
ever, inasmuch as most of the coun
tries in Europe listed for relief are
either completely under the commu-
nists or subject to communist "sugges-
tion," which usually means dictation.
Because of the diversion of supplies
sent for the relief of Yugoslavia's peo-
pie to Tito's armed forces, it would be
the part of wisdom to place the feeding
of Europe's children under direct
supervision of a commission composed
exclusively of non-communist men,
bers.
This is especially emphasized as the
majority of the countries the Funds
board has voted to aid are either d.
rectly behind the Russian iron curtain
or in it's shadow. They are Austria, AL
bania, Czechoslovakia, Finland, Hun
gary, France, Greece, Italy, Poland and
Yugoslavia.
The grimy fist of communism is
shaking in the face of them all. No
chance should be taken of having a
single bottle of milk fall into the hands
of any Russian agency.

The modern submarine is a mar
row vessel. shaped somewhat like
a cigar, but flat on top. At the
middle of the deck is a raised
structure called the coming
tower, which has a bridge on top.
There are tiny submarines not
much larger than rowboats, with
an operating crew of two men and
a range of about 100 miles. AT
the other extreme, there are sea-
going submarines Of 1000 tons
with a cruising range of Is, 600
miles.
When the submarine runs on the
surface, it is driven by Diesel en-
gines, using heavy oil as fuel. 1t
submerges by opening valves
which r set in special tanks.

Problem of whether to ship Euro
pean relief supplies as grain or as
milled flour has kicked up a fuss
in industry and government. Eu-
ropean countries mill their wheat
to get IS percent %extration. U. S.
mills make white flour and get
only Y per cent extraction. The
remaining % per cent is fed to
livestock. The charge is made that
shipping white flour to Europe
cheats Europeans out of millions
of tons of food. Also, that it pre-
vents European flour mills from
getting reestablished. Also, that
shipping of flour instead of grain
cost U. S. taxpayers more in
footing relief bills. Answer given
is that relief is a shipping problem.
Flour takes les space and ports
can handle only so much bulk
grain. Boxcar shortage is another
factor.

WASHINGTO, - Prices of new
house construction have nov gone
so high it costs from five to ten
cents to get one brick laid. Mas
onry contractors reporting to their
trade association headquarters In
Washington figure it this way.
Scale for journeyman bricklayers
in metre olitan centers varies
from $40 TO $40 a day. But in many
areas there is a scarcity of brick
layers, SO the going rate run as
high as $26 a day. Helpers are
getting as much as S14 a day.
That's $40 for a two-man team.
Before the a any bricklayer
who couldn't handle 1900 to 1000
bricks was considered a sissy.
But today under showdown and
take-it-easy practices average
production runs from 400 to 300
a day. That's five to ten cents a
brick. Contractors now figure
seven cents a bricks in making
estimates for bids.
