To Pit Quality Graft
Against Mass Output

planes reported they have enough
orders to keep them going IL to 18
months.
Flying the mails and the regularly
scheduled air services in Britain is
the governments business mo-
nopoly which excludes the individ-
ual operator. But something is left
for the individual. He may set up
charter company, or catch on with
one of about 20 which seem to be
operating profitably. The chartered
plane is expected to be, in the air,
a counterpart of the tramp steamer,
which goes wherever there may be
a cargo. About 300 planes are now
engaged in well-established charter
services. ..
British aviation is keeping its eye
on two revolutions. First is the
technical revolution, such as jet
and gas turbine propulsion. Then
there is the industrial and political
revolution of naturalization. Man.
agement is being shaken up, and
there is more government in many
enterprises associated with avia-
ton. q
Some Service Lapses.
Aviation leaders admit readily
that, in comparison with America
there are many shortcomings here
Between London and Paris, which
ought to be the most glamorous
of Europe's routes, British airlines
make six scheduled flights a day
Between New York and Washing
ton, approximately an equal dis
tance, there are about so flights
a day.
The traveller flying from London
to Paris pays about $28 for his
ticket. New York to Washington
is about $11.
The fare from London to Am
sterdam is about $32. The equal
distance from San Francisco to
Reno is about $3.50.
The three government-owned
corporations which fly Britain's
scheduled air services manage to
keep the average plane in the air
about two hours in "a. The Ameri-
can plane of well-managed pri-
vate company must be up in the
air, grinding out dividends 10 or
more hours each day.
The British companies are ex-
pected ultimately to be sound busi-
ness enterprises, but now they are
getting subsidies of about $4,000
900 annually. American companies
not only get no direct subsidies,
but are paying more in taxes than
the state grants received by the
British companies.
In addition, as the British figure
(See STEINKOPF, Page C-5D

pulSion becomes uSeful commercially.
The British also think they have
learned a great deal about aerody-
1amics which is vital as planes ap-
proach or exceed the speed of sound.
Designers are speculating about
practical, dividend-paying flights
across the Atlantic in three or four
hours. But Sir Ben Lockspeiser, chief
scientist of the British Ministry of
Supply, who directs the researches
of about 1000 government scientists
and engineers experimenting in avi-
alton, calls them flights of fancy.
Near, at, or above the speed of sound
science is encountering a world of
new problems.
"In passing from Subsonic to SUI
personic flight we shall meet condi-
tions at the speed of sound about
which we are in ignorance" Sir Ben
said. "Our present intention is to ac-
celerate through this region as rap
idly as possible, but we do not know
yet how serious are the difficulties
we may meet.
Quality Is Goal.
1--WE intend to tackle this problem
by the use of rocket driven models.
The idea has become current that
once we have surmounted the diff
culties at this speed frontier-about
76O miles an hour-supersonic flight
will be easy. There are no grounds
for this belief. Years of research will
be necessary before we can achieve
supersonic flight"
Sir Ben is reasonably confident
that the solutions will be found, but
that no one will be crossing the At
lantic in three and a half hours
right away.
The construction companie S
couldn't afford to undertake all of
the costly experiments necessary to-
day. Government support comes in
the form of orders for planes, and in
maintenance of a research center
employing 4,3O0 persons. The gov
ernment takes over the task OF test
ing the prototype models.
With it's care in research the air
craft industry hopes to recapture
the old reputation of British prod
ucts for British quality. Quality is
what will be counted on to match
American ingenuity and mass pro-
duction.
The Ministry of Supply, which has
f28,OO0,0OO ($112,00O,00O) to spend
for research insists that in aviation
British quality is to be first OBJ
jective. Great Britain's leading II
manufacturers hope to sell f4S.0O0,-
900 ($192 ,oOo,00o) worth of airplanes
In the next three years.
Officials of the Society Of British
Aircraft Constructors say that or
ders so far obtained indicate the
program will be exceeded.
1t is admitted that there are
escape clauses in many of the orders,
which may upset some expectations.
Models now undergoing tests will
have to stand up. And much depends

Aims at Domination
Of Transport Flying

LONDON-Half a million Brit
ish workmen in dozens Of fac
tories and laboratories are aiming
at world leadership in the aviation
industry and air service.
They hope to create the slick, jet
pushed flying wings able to flash
across the Atlantic in a matter of a
very few hours. They also will give a
good deal of attention to making
humber aircraft, plodding, burden
bearing machines as familiar and
unromantic in the air as the British
tramp steamers on the sea.
Workers, scientists and govern
mental departments concerned ap-
preciate that they are facing ag-
gressive competition. They know
that the air liners flying the worlds
prestige routes are largely Ameri-
can. They are by no means happy
that American equipment is being
used by numerous British services.
At the moment American ma
chimes enjoy some advantages in
speed and commercial efficiency, so
the British forget national pride for
the time and resign themselves to
using number of American planes.
But aviation is transportation, and
in these isles it is traditional that
Britain should do much of the
worlds hauling.
A hope that Britain, commercially,
may rule the air as her ships once
dominated the seas may be an ex-
travagant dream, but earnest young
men at thousands of drawing boards
and skilled mechanics in the rugged,
war-tested factories which built the
RAF are determined to build up
British prestige in the air.
War Halted Designers.
Both bright and dark aspects are
due to aviation practice during final
years of the war.
Britain, fighting for life, threw
resources into production of war
planes and the vital trainers. There
wasn't factory capacity or material
for transports. The United States
provided them. Thus the American
designers were able to keep their
hands in practice in field which
had direct, postwar applications.
But the flow of British design was
broken. Now their most conservative
constructors believe they may need
five to six years to catch up.
However, during the critical war
years, the British concentrated on
engine design and in that field they
now believe they have a two-year
lead.
The British doubt that others can
teach them much about jet pro-
pulsion, and are proud of their new
gas turbine engines, which they
think will be driving the planes of
the world a long time before Jet pro-

Very little elbow grease is required.
You place the stain face down
against clean, white absorbent cloth
or a blotter and saturate with the
stain remover. No rubbing, just pat.
On surfaces that can't be reached
from both sides you can rub gently
until the stain goes away.
GOLDEN EARRINGS: Whether
gold, silver or bejeweled, certain
people simply can't wear earrings
because they can't stand the pain
that some earrings are capable OF
giving. Some ear lobes just aren't
for earrings! And many who can
wear them wish they didn't when
they have to take one of to answer
the phone, with the chances being
that that bauble will get lost In

can't lose your earring, for you

ONE OF THE MOST DISCON-

us recently. Having party sched.
uled Immediately following work,
and not liking to be adorned with
perfume during the busy day, we
placed a small bottle Of perfume in
our handbag so 1t would be handy
for a last-minute touch. Perhaps
you can guess what happened! The
perfume leaked from around the
screw on top and almost everything
in the handbag including the lining
was ruined. How we wished for one
of those darling perfume flacons
that can be found in. one of the
speciality shops! 1t is so small that the
room 1t takes up is practically nil
and 1T is so attractive that 1t adds
to the appearance of your access
sories. The item is tube-shaped but
much smaller than a lipstick. The
outside case Is made of metal in
gold color and the top boasts small
synthetic jewel, mostly blue, green
or amber. Inside is fitted a small
glass container with stopper top.
AS far as we could investigate there
is absolutely no way for the perfume
to escape from this contraption.

TENANTS OF APARTMENTS
that are equipped with small bath
rooms are almost always complain
ing of the lack Of shelf space therein.
There are two neat ways to combat
this situation. The first is to in
vest in rubberized tray that fits Sc
curely on the top Of the tank. Any
color may be obtained to match the
scheme of the room. These mats
have several grooves in which to
fit glasses, jars or bottles. The other
way to combat the mo room" situ-
alton is to purchase a lovely mirror
back wall plaque. There are those
with two and some with three glass
trays and we could almost bet they
would accommodate all your necessary
cosmetics. To be more elaborate,
consider a set of frosted glass bottles
that are gayly decorated with what
appear to be hand painted floral de-
signs.
These would surely give. an Or
derly and attractive appearance to
the shelves. Although the rubber
tray might not be glamorous enough
for a Christmas gift the mirrorback
wall plaque and decorated bottles
certainly would be.
THE SUPPLY OF CHRISTMAS
CANDLES Is ample this year. You
can get large and small ones to suit
your pocketbook and your decorat-
ing taste. The only trouble with
these candles Is that they are so
attractive that you can hardly bear
to burn them. Lovely mantel and
table arrangements can be made
around any one or several OF these
using few artificial flowers and
real holly or greens. Among the
supply are pumpkins, ears OF real
istic corn, red boots. the type that
Santa wears. These are trimmed
with a large white cuff. Naturally,
there's old Santa himself with a
Jolly smile on his face. A group OF
choir boys and girls holding song
sheets and, of course, Mr.. Snow Man
is also in the lineup. Besides these
you may obtain various sized trees
IN green and white.
IF YOU GET A SPOT ON YOUR
NEW DRESS, reach for the bottle
of special spot remover and see how
