Tough on Their Shoes

AKRON. o Modern jet planes
and youngsters have at least one
thing in common they're both
tough on shoes,
Because Of the tremendous strain
and scuffing that jet plane tires
undergo in landings, their rubber
shoes" wear out quickly. Conven-
tlonal plane tires fail after few
landings and even specially de-
signed tires had difficulty in stand
ing up under more than five or
SIX high-speed landings.
After months Of research. how
ever, a new Jet tire has been de-
Neloped by B F Goodrich engin-
GERS to withstand the torturous
landings The air force recently
completed tests on these tires at

heartening results Of America s
enormously improved national
health is that there is smaller
proportion Of young widows in our
population than at any time since

married women are protected to-
day by more life insurance than
any preceding generation Of wo-
men.
For more than half a century.
the proportion Of younger widows
IN our population has been de-
Creasing as husbands have been
living longer. In 1900, one out of
every five men 80 years old faced
the prospect of dying before his
50th birthday, today only one out
OF every 10 men dies between these
TWO ages While wartime deaths
may increase the number of young
er widows III our population for a
time high marriage rate tends
to decrease the number 1t is be-
lieVed. incidentally. the remar-
rage rate among younger widows
has been particularly high since
the end Of World War H.
l., INV ease aCrordipo IN cencnc
figures. there were 669 900 widows
in the United States in 1850 who
were younger than 45 years of age
and there We're 77700o in 1910
even though our total population
was smaller in 1910 than IN 1850.

Of older widows has risen, from
five to Six million
