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.
Tens of millions of dollars
were invested and used in spec
ulation during the boom days in
Florida following the World
war. Stucco hotels, buildings
and homes of multi-colored hue
rose in the swamplands. Then
came the mammoth drainage
ditches to provide bigger and
better sites, owners of which
hoped to bring the west coast
motion picture films to Florida
