FORCE OF PLANES IN WAR STRESSED BY R1CKENBACKER Judge Hardy Picture Coming Philadelphia. (U.R) London, Paris, Berlin and the other great cities of warring European nations are doomed to destruc tion "as soon as the nations finally are aligned diplomatic ally," believes Capt. Eddie Rick enbacker, America's foremost ace in the World war. Rickenbacker predicted the annihilation of the British fleet by the Nazi air force if the Germans decide to pursue such course. "Three or four planes attack ing a battleship may be shot down," Rickenbacker said, "but when the planes start coming over in waves, it's just a matter of percentages. 'Eventually, we will see Lon don, Paris and Berlin destroyed by gas and fire caused by planes, but 90 days after aerial warfare really starts the trained pilots of both sides will be dead because of improved anti-aircraft fire. Then both sides will go back to trench and dugout, with only occasional aerial bombing." The World war ace. who brought down 28. German planes in 1918, estimated the average expectancy of war pilots at 30 days, once aerial warfare starts in earnest. "But it will be worth it," he said, "not to the pilot but to his military forces, because in those 30 days his power of destruction will be enormous." fx Sot? Christmas time is the time when families throughout the world get together so what could be more fitting than the newest of the Judge Hardy pic tures for the Craterian theatre's Christmas program starting Sunday for three days. It's called "Judge Hardy and Son," with the title roles being played, as always, by Lewis Stone and Mickey Rooney. The Knrdys who usually travel somewhere in their adventures, turn stay-at-home for their Rth all-new adventures. The entire action is laid in the quaint home town of Carvel, and shows Mickey's ef forts at amateur detection which involves him with three pretty girls, financial trouble and com ical trials and tribulations galore. WIVES ARE ADVISED 10 Amherst. Mass. (U.R) To in sure greater domestic tranquil ity, women should "baby" their husbands because some men are slow to attain mature emotional status, according to Dr. Eliza beth Kundert, psychiatrist, in a lecture before farmers' wives at a farm and home conference at Massachusetts State college. "A wife has to make her husband think he is the big boss," said Dr. Kundert. On the other hand, she advised a re gime of firm discipline in the training of children. Big Airport Boise. Ida. (U.R) This city contends its airport has the longest runway of any airport in the nation. The field covers 960 acres, or more than 250 city blocks, and its principal run way is 8,800 feet in length with another 6,000 feet long. Too Late to Classify FLORIDA EXPECTS 'S Improving A. A. Young, 28, of 245 South Central avenue, who fainted after the taxicab he was driving struck a boy on bicycle Saturday evening on North Riverside avenue, was re ported by his attending phy sician today as "getting better." Young, confined in Community hospital, suffered "an injury to his spinal cord or to the cover ing of his brain" when he faint ed and fell to the pavement, the doctor explained, and added that the injury would not prove serious unless complications de veloped. The bicycle rider, Jerry Ross, 11 of 511 East Main street, was uninjured. Young fainted when he climbed out of his taxi after the impact, it was reasoned. St. Petersburg. Fla. (U.R) Florida is looking ahead to the "roaring forties." Punch drunk from the beat ing it took during the last half of the 1920s, America's sun- porch wobbled through the '30s and now all indications are that the next decade will be the most prosperous in the penin sular state's history.
