Comfort in the Air
SANTIAGO, Chile, June 10—I am not singing for my supper when I say that the sleeper-plane, a5 evinced by the big DC-6, has taken my personal curse off the business of long-distance plane travel. If they can ever get the price of a luxury long-hop down to medium pocketbook Jevel, they will have removed the main plaint from lengthy air voyages. ; My traveling crony, John O'Rourke, says he buys this big DC-6 over any plane he ever stowed away on, and John is no boy in the business of getting from here to yon by way of the angels’ realm. I would concur: It's certainly a wide stride away from the airborne bus. Iwill say that after half-a-million air miles, it is now possible to get off a plane, at the end of a long trip, without feeling murderously crummy and the best part of dead. Sleeping in the air has been, for most people; a kind of torture, involving swelled ankles, cramped spines, twisted tempers, and a burgeoning desire to make the next journey by boat, But the sleeping compartments on the 6's—now that the 6's have been acquitted of a tendency to catch fire in the air, and are back in business
.—are all that anybody wants in the way of plush
comfort.
THEY BUILD the bed ‘around a two-seated - section, same as on trains. They pull down the top half, and wind up with a bunk that is, I believe, a little longer and a little broader than a It. has all sorts of gadgets—compartments for milady's warpaint, mirrors, and the usual storage space for shoes and stuff, but on a modernized scale. John and I turned in some time after we left Miami, and I woke up a couple of hundred miles from Lima. I found I had slept through landings and takeoffs at both Balboa and Guayaquil. Not so Brother O'Rourke. . He snared through the touchdown at Balboa, fine. But nobody had told him we are squatting at Guayaquil, and he came awake just as the plane was landing. John saw trees whipping by, muddy waters,
Weed Killer
WASHINGTON, June 10—You never know when you turn junior for grown-up chemists. They try to kill ‘people wholesale by slow starvation and come ‘up redfaced With something to feed ‘em better than ever before, My slightly cockeyed tale had its beginning
. about six years ago, when the masterminds of the
high command said it certainly would be wonderful if the chemists could concoct a killing goo to spray from airplanes on the rice fields of Japan. Ordinary poisons wouldp’t do because flying tank cars of same would ruin only relatively small patches of rice. What the strategists wanted was some kind of an agricultural uranium, a small pinch 6f which would blacken the rice fields for miles around. } The chemists set to work with a will. And they soon came up with a substance as weird as its name: Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. It wasn't a poison, -exactly, but a growth stimulator with atomic possibilities. : ' Put a microscopic speck of it on a. cabbage plant, say, and same would grow so fast it would durn near.explode, thereby knocking itself out and making one less cabbage to eat. This, chortled the experts, rubbing their hands, was the thing for the enemy's rice paddies.
Killed Plants With Broad Leaves
BEFORE trying it out on Japan, fortunately, they made a deal to test it on a field of. rice in Louisiana, ‘The proprietor took the government's Money for the crop it was about to ruin, but he was dublous about spoiling so much good food. Secretly the Army's planes dusted his rice with the mysterious dichoe cetera—and doggone!
