Busy Beaverbrook A small group of distinguished men were standing around the duke of Windsor’s swimming pool at Car D’Antibes, French Riviera. They all were admiring the gleaming gole cuff links which the duchess had giv en the duke. Then they began comparing each other's cuff links—all but a round little man with scanty wisps of hair. He hung back, tugging down his coat sleeves Finally, the others turneo to him: "What’ve you got on, Beaver?” Sheepishly the little man displayed his cuffs. They were held together by paper clips! That is just one of the many sto ries about Lord Beaverbrook, who at 30 had made millions and who, now at 61, has the supremely im portant job of getting Britain’s war- planes made. He doesn't care how he looks; he hasn’t time for that— and he’s always been that way.

Reeve, “will rend huge, jagged holes in the earth; tons ol metal will crash suddenly from the clear blue sky.” The year was 1908, and Reeve was writing a magazine article on “New est Man-killing Devices and the Warless Age.” Among the devices, he said, would be aerial torpedoes, anti-aircraft guns, mine-laying motorcycles, elec tric artillery. “This,” he declared, "is war—war in 1938.” The prophetic article, which ap peared in the November, 1908, issue of Hampton’s Broadway magazine, has been brought to light by J. N. Farrar, a salesman who discovered the issue in a collection of old peri odicals. Some of Reeve’s predictions for the 1938 war: Dirigibles advancing under the protection of manufactured clouds. Spectroscopes used to detect pres ence of aerial gases. Tiny submarines which would be launched from battleships. Describing a battle scene—in the war of 1938—where “a constant rain of steel bullets whips about every thing that moves," Reeve wrote: “Nothing can be seen in that val ley of death except effects; the causes are hidden with all the in genuity of which the human brain is capable. “Everything is tense with a nerve- wracking suspense such as ancient warfare never knew. Heroism has taken on a new meaning; it consists in being here at all.” REMOUNT SERVICE NEEDS HORSES hs • A" Give the gift that signi fies America is not to be caught napping.

High Flying on Ground Technicians of the Civil Aeronau tics authority have worked out sev eral new ways of testing a pilot’s reaction to the thin air of high alti tudes without having the airman leave the ground. Their devices are being tested at the authority’s med ical science center at Kansas City, and it is predicted that they will greatly speed up the country’s prog ress in aviation. By a gradual cutting down of the amount of oxygen, a pilot or student aviator sitting safely in the labora tory goes through exactly the same reactions that he would if he were handling an air liner or a military plane several thousand feet above Naval Air Stations at Corpus the ground.

Here are a few directions that should do the trick. Remember that the foundation of your fire is most important. Crumple up three or four pages of newspapers. Don’t wad them up hard as rocks, or you’ll not get any | tall flames. Over the crumpled pa pers put a double handful of kindling shavings, preferable box-wood. To | this add your smaller pieces of kin dling, building up to the larger pieces. Then lay on two or three small pieces of wood and on top put your log. Light your paper in se eral places at the same time. L you still have trouble getting your fire started, or your logs should be damp, you can fall back on a bit of kerosene.
