by famous surgeon and scientist.
The first in the world to be POWERFULLY
efeetive yet bo5itiOely non toiJonoS5,
non-i,ritating. In fact, zoNITE is a
wondrously soothing, cleansing and
healing agent. You can use ZoNITB
as needed without the slightest risk of
injury. Its completely safe qualities on
body tissues have been proved by
thousands upon thousands of women
for over 80 years. You can use
zONITB with confidence.

ZONITE eliminates all odor. A
zoNITE douche fushes away waste

A douche with ZoNITE is important
after monthly periods. 1t leaves the
vaginal tract so refre5bed. Worth a
fortune to feminine charm and health
yet costs only a few cents per
douche. Always use as directed.

OF Decline in Output,
Rise in Employment
BY Harry Lever

the aircraft field, including .
slight prospective decline in mill
tary aircraft production but an
upsurge in sales and employment.

end findings of Admiral Dewitt
c. Ramsey. q. S. NJ. retired. pres
ident of the Aircraft Industries
Association.
Here are some observations he
made through ALA, which is the
official speaking group for the
industry:
q. Aircraft now are being built
heavier.
2. An increasing amount of
the production effort of the air.
craft manufacturing industry Is
being devoted to guided missiles.
8. Research and development
are going forward at a relatively
high level.
4. At this time. the years end,
virtually all combat aircraft in
production are jet-powered. Pro-
duction has begun on at least
seven highly advanced super
sonic fighters and one supersonic
bomber, the B-58 Hustler.
5. Deliveries of medium jet
bombers to the Strategic Air
Command passed the 1000 mark
in 1854, and deliveries began on
a heavy jet bomber, Boeing's
B-52, capable of near-sonic
speeds and extremely long-range
operations.
6. Although security restric-
tions preclude the release of de-
tailed information on the air.
craft industry's activity in the
defense field, military airplane
output is estimated at approxi-
mately 10,500 to 10000 units Of
all types during 1854.
7. In January. 1854, employ
ment in the aircraft industry
reached a total of $50, 100, MAX

tistics are available.
AS to prospects for 1855. Ad-
miral Ramsey pointed to down.
ward trend in monthly unit pro-
duction of military aircraft which
began in 1854, and which is ex-
pected to continue this coming
year.
