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.

Old Magazine Predicted
Terrible Warfare in 1938
“Terrible explosions,” wrote Ar
thur B. 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.”

High Flying on Ground
Technicians of the Civil Aeronau

and it is predicted that they will
greatly speed up the country’s prog

By a gradual cutting down of the

How Fires Are Built
Have trouble getting a fire started
in your fireplace?
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.
