STREAMLINED PLANE DESIGN * IS ANNOUNGED

wil Enable U.S. t U. S. to Produce Craft Faster Than Any Nation, Is Report.

VAN ’S, Cal., Noy. 8 (U. P.). —A revolutionary method of streamlining airplanes was announced today by its inventor, Ward Pearce, a 35-year-old lofting engineer, who said it would enable |the United States to produce planes faster and better: than any hat] world. The process, Mr. Pearce said, determines on: paper by | the use of straight lines the true| dimensions and ‘shapes of solids which have curved. surfaces—heretofore considered impossible by designers and engineers. “Our method,” Mr. “will bring about immense savings of labor, cut to a minimum’ retooling expenses, eliminate costly reworking of parts and in general revolutionize the entire industry and ‘make the United | States the greatest mass producer of aircraft in the world.”

The present method of * ofting, or of laying out full size drawings of double curved surfaces of an airplane from the dimensions furnished by the designer, is a production bottleneck between the deagn and manufacture. The method, an art rather than a science, requires shuffling and reshuffling of unwieldy full scale drawings until the trained loftsman’s eye ‘tells him the contours are “sweet,” Mr. Pearce explained.

SEEK BASES IN LATIN AMERICA

U.S. Wants Agreement for

Joint Defense of Hemisphere.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (U. P.).— Authoritative quarters reported “progress” today in negotiations with Latin American countries for possible joint use of some of their air or naval bases for hemisphereic defense. Negotiations have been going on for some time with most Latin American countries on defense subject. It is understood that the United States is interested only in the use of bases for mobile forces which would stay only temporarily during emergencies. Secretary of State Hull said last week that these consultations are underway. “We are engaged in defense consultations with our neighbors to the south, and we have created facilities for such consultations with Canada,” he said.

Cash on Hand; No One Wants It

EL PASO, Tex. Nov. 8 (U. PJ). —J. T. Guynes, owner of a printing company, has several hundred dollars which seven of his employees have refused to accept, and now he doesn’t know what to do with the money.

The situation arose when the

wage and hour division of the

U. S. Department of Labor ruled that Mr. Guynes’ business operated interstate and ordered him to pay $2060.78 back wages to 18 employees for overtime, Seven of the employees returned their checks to him, explaining that they felt they had been paid in full and had no money coming to them, Mr, Guynes said: He added, however, that he wasn’t going to have anything to do with the money, but didn’t know what disposition to make of it. One of the remaining 11 employees refused to accept his restitution check for $228.69, saying he was suing the company for a larger amount.

CHARGE DENVER MAN THREATENED F. D. R.

DENVER, Nov. 8 (U. P.).—Frederick C. Pinkenburg, 33, an .elevator operator in a downtown office building, was charged in Federal Court here yesterday with threatening the life of President Roosevelt. Pinkenburg was arrested Monday after having been under police surveillance for several days. News of the arrest was suppressed by U. S. District Attorney Thomas J. Morrissey because, he said, “I had no desire to be charged with making a political issue of the matter.” Police were notified almost three weeks ago by neighbors and acquaintances at the office building that Pinkenburg had.threatened to kill Mr, Roosevelt. The man denied the charge.

SEC WILL PREVENT

DALLAS, Tex. Nov. 8 (U.P.).— S. T.

LIBRARY LEFT TO COLGATE UNIVERSITY

HAMILTON, N. Y., Nov. 8 (U.

RATIONING MAKES ENGLISH HEALTHY

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 8 (U. P.. David John Rodgers, British consul sees the English people growing more healthy on wartime rations. “We have always eaten too much,” Rodgers* said. “Food rationing is not only conserving food, but is rectifying the English diet. Now we are learning moderation in food. I think it is unlikely that when the war is over the English people will go back to their classic British breakfasts and heavy lunches. The afternoon tea custom may also disappear..”

(In Reading Section) Use of Words.

By EARL HOFF

Probably no other text book ever will be written that will win for it such fond memories among exscholars as the McGuffey Speller. But—and this should stir up the McGufteyites—there are some people who - are beginning to think that the author of that learned

Spellers, for Example, Show

basis for early American spelling bees couldn’t hold a candle to mog=) ern teaching methods. That might be the conclusion of a McGuffey fan, too, if he saw the! text books pupils use in Indianapolis schools today.

Spellers Are Readers

The spelling books, for instance, are more than word lists. They contain reading sections that are fun for the pupils. There also are exercises in which the words" are used. Not only do the pupils learn how to spell the words, but ‘they learn the meanings and use. The pupils tackle a list of a dozen words each week. They concentrate on those words all week long, using them in everv conceivable way. At the end of the period a test shows how well the pupils have learned. The spellers are just an’ indication of what has happened to school books.

They're Streamlined

They're streamlined. The type is. bigger and easier to read. The binding is sturdier and very resistant to after’ school roughing. The covers are brighter and waterproof. The books are full of illustrations, mostly photographs, many of them in color. There are even humorous sketches. And the language of the books

never goes over the heads of the pupils for whom the texts are designed. : The books are interesting, too. | In many instances pupils pick up; modern school books with pleasure | rather than as a distastetul chore! which must be done, Virgil Stine- | baugh, an assistant superintendent {of schools, says. Modern textbooks tackle soda] day problems. Arithmetic prob-| lems concern banks, business and} the ordinary job of shopping at| the grocery. |

Graphic Charts Used |

Charts are in the graphic style | familiar to newspaper readers— | lines of men, ships and bushels tell | the story of statistics. | Geographies tell the stories of | countries in political beliefs, cus-| toms, business, industry, language! and a little history. The maps are| large and colorful. Readerz are so interesting that! pupils race ahead of the class as-|

story is about. Throughout their studies, pupils are getting from textbooks additional information that earlier books never had. And scientific tests are being made constantly among pupils to check the value of the texts. Weak parts are culled, other sections expanded, Some. rewsiiten and still others inerted.

Educators Never Satisfied

Educators are never satisfied with standards. Where pupils of yesterday had a reader, a geography, a speller, a grammar and an arithmetic book, today’s scholars have a dozen volumes to study. A rental system has made this possible. And pupils today seldom cart home'their books after school. That saves a lot of wear and tear on the volumes—and on the scholars.

He Really Put The Bite on Him

Times Special GARY, Ind., Nov. 8.—The latest way to foil bandits is to “bite the hand that robs you.” That’ the procedure here. Guiseppe DeEiso was strongarmed by-a bandit. During the scuffle, Mr. DeEiso promptly sank his teeth into the gun man’s hand. In reporting the holdtp to police he said he thought he had broken the man’s finger. Police later arrested a suspect with a bandaged finger, Mr. DeEiso identified him as quickly as he had bitten him.

NEW POLIO VAGCINE IS ‘ENCOURAGING’

By Science Service NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—Encouraging results {n efforts to create a new kind of protection against infantile paralysis were reported yesterday by Dr. Harold K. Faber and associates

of Stanford University School off]

Medicine at the meeting here of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, The new ‘kind of vaccination is aimed at protecting the central nervous system where the *virus of the disease does its damage. Previous efforts at .vaccination against. infantile paralysis have failed, it is generally believed, because the vaccine reached the blood cells, but not the cells of the central nervous systm where it was needed to combat the virus. Vaccines against other diseases succeed when they cause an increase in germ-fighting substances in the blood. Dr. been frying to produce immunity

to infantile paralysis by applying §

killed infantile paralysis virus directly to the cells of the central nervous system. + “Results to date offer encouragement,” it was reported, although the studies have not progressed far enough to allow for an evaluation.
