LONDON (by_ wireless). —Along the Belrly two ~ i ymiles of Regent ant Oxford Sts. where the kig stores and fashionable shops are situated I believe the win-

dows have been blown out of two-thirds of the buildings. But the store owners have been ge. Tie about

They put a pane of glass across this opening, and then they tall a window display just as ore, except on a smaller scale. Often the wallboard front is _ painted blue or brown jor gray. Some of the stores e have hunting scenes or 1arching soldiers painted ‘like &. frieze across the top of the new wall‘board front. The result of all this is that instead of looking like a patchwork, it makes what = to me

a neater and more attractive line of store fronts than before the bombings. When a building is only slightly damaged by a bomb it is immediately repaired. Workmen are busy day and night cleaning out rubble and puitihg build- - ings back together again. It is amazing how quickly - ‘they can turn a scene of destruction back into something normal. . But if a building has been too badly damaged for repair it simply stays that way until the war is over. No rebuilding from the ground up is permitted. The government needs all materials too] badly— cement, bricks, steel. x |

Building Boom to Follow War

As a result, when the war is over England will probably have the greatest building boom in/ the history of the! world. It certainly will take yegrs. And maybe this very boom will be the thing to hpld down unemployment and to ease the terrible shock of nonproduction and depression that follows all] wars in all countries. The most puzzling thing to me about all work

of repairing and shoring up buildings and) erecting shelters is where all the brick comes from, There is -so much buttressing and fortifying and pairing, that you’d think there couldn’t have been t bricks in the world. i * Yet you see new bricks stacked up everywhere,

He Gets a Gas Mask

The other day I noticed ‘a piece of stone about the size of a walnub lying under the radiator in my roo. I picked it up and examined it. It was rounded at one end, and you could tell from the other end that it had been fieshly broken off something, I studied i a long time, and finally came to the conclusion thét it was a toe off some; statue, or pos-

line of our hatel. But how did it gef info my room? It suddenly dawned on me. And when the maid came in to strajghten up I said, “Maid, have the windows ever keen blown eut of this room?” “Why yes," she said, “just a few days before you came. But they put them back in, jou know.” So that wis it. i They sure did a nice job of clearing up my room, but they forgol to look under the rzdiator. So now I have a souvenir. I'll show .it to you when I get home. ! ’ a | And now at last I am all equipped with a steel helmet and a [gas mask. i J A friend of mine who has just leit for the States gave me his. As soon-as he was gofie I brought the mask up to tay room and tried it on. It is a big one, issued by the American Embassy, and it is so complicated that I can’t make head nor tail of it. If the gas ever comes I might as well throw this contraption dit the window and tak: a deep breath. I sure do look nice in a gas magk, though. You can’t see my face. i | |

JIM CAREOLL is deeply inierested in legal|

points of view and often has remarked that after he retires he would like to study law-—not to practice but just for his own pleasure. : He has &lways been quite a “tease” at home and his two. sons, now grown, had to learn to “take |it” when they ivere young. He has a high sense of loyalty and wan't listen to gossip abolt his friends and acquaintances. He isn’t even intg¢gested in whether it’s true of false. ¢ He likes to read ‘for relaxation and he is a Mark Twain fan. He rereads Hucklebefry Finn at lgast once a year. He also reads everything he can (lay his hands upén about Abraham iLincoln and he’s crazy about detective and mystery | stories.’ He reads

He doesn’t care much for work about the housg or yard, except for an occasional -dandelion picking spree.

Giant Industry Born of Fight

For Democracy

. ‘By Lee Hills IN the protected area of the Middle West the United States is gearing up what Hindenburg - once called our “brilliant and pitiless war industry”’—to do an even bigger job than it did against him. : This huge American arsenal

presents a difficult target for bomber or other attacks. Its edge

. is farther from the Atantic than

London is from the air fields of Germany proper, many times farther than the Nazi jump from bases in France. London is closer to Rome than New York is to the western part of this supply center. : Yet industry here is spread over more territory than the combined areas of France and Germany at the outbreak of the war. Bomber fleets would have more area to cover in Ohio and Iliinois alone than in the entire British Isles. The accompanying map shows the big new airplane, tank, gun, powder, shell-loading, engine and other war plants being plopped down in this strategic zone. It cannot show the thousands of big and little pldnts that are tyning from adding machines, lawn mowers, etc., ta bomb fuses "and shrapnel and other tools of war. Here, with numbers keyed to the map, is a survey of what is being done, and where, on major items in the area: ? 1. CLEVELAND. Nearly $200,000,000 in direct Government defense orders being worked on by 189 companies.’ Estimated that perhaps one fourth of the city’s 2200 manufacturers have direct and indirect defense orders totaling more than $500,000,000.
