Hot Stuff in 1936
The Hampden was regarded as hot stuff in 1936 and the men who fly in it swear by it because it flies beautifully. / Even they will not deny, however, that its narrow fusellage makes it the most uncomfortable' bomber in the world. It is no secret to the Germans that it is mighty slow by modern standards, 50 slow that a Lancaster, bound on the same mission to a distant target in Germany, can leave an hour later and be back for breakfast an hour earlier. . The boys in the squadron do net talk much about those who never came back from Germany. “He's been” or “he’s had it” is their way of saying that somebody is missing. One of the men who has recently been, to the deep regret of everybody, was Jim Dillon, a 25-year-old ace whose mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Dillon, lives in Preeport, Ill. Jim had made 16 operational trips and had 99 hours of operational flying.

His unwelcome visitations to the fatherland include six trips to Berlin, 10 to Hamburg, 10 to Bress, eight to Cologne, six to Essen, six to Bremen, one to Rostock and one to Stettin. : You can take it from this widely traveled expert that Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen are the hottest spots in Germany. In all his trips Paddy’s planes have been hit by flak 10 times and he never has been attacked by a night fighter. He has only seen two.

WRITE. CHICAGO ABOUT WAVES
Don’t Tie Up Phone Lines Here, Naval Recruiters
~ Ask Women,
Indianapolis women interested in joining the - WAVES, the navy’s newly created women’s reserve branch, should contact the office of naval officer procurement, Board of Trade building, Chicago. Comm. R. H, G. Mathews, officer in charge of navy recruiting in the Indiana area, said today ‘that the office here has received little information about the new branch of the service. He further points out that in the last few days “unanswerable questions” about the WAVES: have so tied up the telephone lines at the recruiting station in the Federal building that they have “undoubtedly blocked many ‘calls from men for enlistment information which could have been supplied.” “The WAVES are still in the officer procurement stage,” Comm. Mathews cxplained. “None of the 10,000 enlisted members will be recruited until after the officer quotas have been filled. +The recruiting stations won't handle the officer procurement at all, and ‘so far we've had no insfruction on how the enlisted members eventually will be chosen. Anyway, it won’t be any time soon. “When further information on the enlisting of WAVES is received, it will be passed along to the newspapers. Until some announcement Is published, women assume only officers are being selected and apply
to Chicago.”

HELPFUL HINTS BIVEN PARENTS
Junior Will Look Better - With a Bit of Action In That Snapshot.
By FRANK WIDNER
Many parents don’t realize it, but they ‘are students nf the “stuffed-owl” school of photography. 1 What are they doing? Why, they load up their camera and yell to their son, or daughter, whichever the case may he: “Come here, stand still and 1'11 take your picture.” Jimmy does just that—stands Stiff as a ramrod and bing goes the shutter. The result is no expression, no pose, no sense to the background. You don’t find the fellow who knows his business taking these kind of shots. He regards it as a waste "of film—which it really is. They make the poor kids look like a bunch of wooden Indians. The professional can take these children and turn out grand, breezy, playful outdoor pictures. They are honest-to-goodness pictures of lively kids. S J ; Maybe it's the liveliness that scares the parents. How, they ask, are you going to get a picture of one or more children that are jumping and hopping about all the time. Surely, they say, they must be “nailed” down somewhere,
Background Important
Naturally, they must be somewhere in the general area of focus When you snap their picture. But let the camera itself “nail” them down. : : Pick a good, reliable and simple background. Lay some kind of marker ia twig or stone will do) on the ground in the place, where you want to focus. Set the speed of your camera somewhere from 1-100th of a second on up and urge the children to prance along, passing by the marked spot. Maybe you can get them to be Jack .and Jill climbing up the mountain; maybe they are playing Mickey Mouse, Superman or maybe they are a band of Indians (not
wooden, mind you). Find out what they like to play and get them in the mood. The expressions will come naturally. You may get a few ‘blurs but you'll also get some dandy pictures. ‘The first protest of this type of photography will come from We box-artist parents. “What do ybéu mean, 1-100th of a second,” they wail. “My camera just goes pf-f-ft.” A Joke May Help Okay. Then find the children a slower game. or make. them stay put. while you. tell them a story. Maybe you can even get them to smile ‘at some little joke. Just anything to get some expression.

Sub on Defensive
A convoy, of course, is not im-|f§
penetrable if the -sub is: willing to take risks. But few skippers care to gamble alone against such odds as an armed convoy protected by fast warships and covered overhead by bomber planes. “It’s a fine squeeze play,” a bomb-er-plane pilot told me during an 18-hour flight over one Caribbean convoy. The convoy gets through and the sub is put on the defensive if he tries to attack us.” We saw at first hand how this works out. In the middle of the night a klaxon sounded the call to battle stations. One of the escorts had contacted a target. A submarine was harrying the convoy, trying to-find an opening for attack.
Admiral Is Hopeful
Before that submarine could get lined up in range the double line of defense was op his tail, forcing him into a quick dive and keeping him there. He/never had a chance to let go his torpedo.
on landing field conditions, lan
marks and navigation.
A month of such protection in the Caribbean enabled = Rear-Admiral Clifford Van Hook, commandant of the 15th naval district here, to say: “July has been particularly free from effective attacks. The increasing strength of our forces in this area is making it more. difficult for the enemy to operate against our commerce.” The admiral qualifies the July record with the reminder that “the success of our own increased and increasing anti - submarine operations may be due in part to decreased enemy submarine activities because those submarines are urgently needed elsewhere.”
Second Problem Looms
At any rate, the record is there. Wholesale attacks have been halted and convoys are getting through untouched. One vital part of the Caribbean shipping problem has been given an answer. There still remains the problem of getting into this area enough ships to keep food and fuel supply lines open. Officials of the war shipping administration hope to ease the burden with fleets of motorboats large enough to hedgehop from island to island with cargoes but fast and shallow enough at the.same time to outmaneuver submarines. Another important ‘Plan is in proc f development by AGWI lines which proposes to start an ajrline subsidiary from Puerto Rico across to Mexico.
