He can travel, completely equipped, ten times as far in a day. The tank. introduced by the British in the first World war but a limited factor until the closing stages, now is vital. And the airplane's long-distance bomb-carrying ca pacity is 32 times that of the last great conflict. Therefore, the association cal culates, "the real contest today is not on the firing line but on the factory production line where defense .equipment is built. "The great army of men be hind the army at the front to day includes steelmakers, ship-, builders, metal workers, farm ers, parts assemblers, inspectors and a long list of others. But none is of greater importance than the country's operators of machine tools an army of over a million men." There are hundreds of types of machine tools, some of them small bench-size units, others weighing 50 or more tons and standing as high as a three-story house. The industry says the demand is so tremendous that United States production this year will amount to $750,000, 000 or $300,000,000 greater than last year, which was double booming 1929. The annv.al number of pneumonia cases In the United States la about 500 000. Before Introduction of sul fanilamide, about 160.000 were fatal.

VP) The moonshiner, who got the name from working at night, has switched to daytime operations. And this change, federal alcohol tax agents report, is only one of a number in the illicit whisky trade. Once notorious for exercising his shooting eye when a "reve- nooer came around, the moon shiner also has abandoned gun play. Experience has taught him. the agents explain, that the rev enue men carry long-range rifles and know how to use them. They even have a new weapon designed to spray slugs through automobile bodies. Night work now Is confined to the transporter, a compara tive newcomer to the game, who finds the darkness more suitable for bridging the gap between still and hip pockets. But the changes do not mean an end to moonshining. and the stills are blooming with the springtime in Kentucky. Moonshiners parade before United States District Judge H Church Ford here twice an nually. "I jest couldn't make a i livin out of that farm of mine, say those who own farms. The agents report, however, that the average moonshiner's farm is untitled and that moonshining runs in families. How do agents locate stills?. More often than not "tips" come from law-abiding citizens In one unusual case, a father "turned in" his own son, with whom he had been living in a one-room mountain cabin for years. Pressed for explanation of his motive, the father ex plained his son had brought home a bride forcing the father to sleep outdoors. NYA OFFERS YOUTHS CUCE TO TRAIN IN in the state.

STATES URGED TO ITER RIGHTS EAST INDIES IDE Denver (U.R) Gov. Ralph L. Carr of Colorado has started a new offensive in his self-styled "bloodless civil war" against proposals to give the federal government control over waters of western rivers. The new objective of the fiery Republican water expert is set tlement out of court years-old disputes between the states of the semi-arid west over division of river water for irrigation. The first skirmish was a suc cess. The governors of Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska have ap proved a compact dividing the waters of the Republican river and a threatened court battle has been avoided. Gov. Carr will meet with Gov. Leon C. Phillips of Okla homa in an attempt to settle the question of dividing the Arkansas river waters. Efforts are being made to settle out of court the lengthy controversy over waters of the North Platte river involving the states of Colorado and Wyoming on one side and Nebraska on the other. Gov. Carr said peaceful set tlement of the disputes was "advisable because the feder al governent has intervened in the North Platte suit, before the U. S. supreme court, and is as serting control over all unap propriated waters. ALL-OUT DEFENSE Batavla. Java (U P Although tension seems to have relaxed considerably in the Netherlands East Indies, war preparations for defense continue at top speed.

Men past 50 have volunteered readily for this anti-fifth column unit. Taxes are not the least Im pressionable phase of the war that Dutchmen notice. With new and extensive armament programs being carried out by budgets, the, tax burden is ex tremely high. It may vary from a reasonable wartime 8 per cent all the way to 70 and 80 per cent of total income. Large manufacturing firms also are limited regard ing their net profits. New industrial plans, calcu lated to make the Indies inde pendent economically in the fu ture, should the rubber and t'n markets fall off after the war. call for intensive efforts and fresh grants of enormous sums. The first coins struck In what ts now the United States were pine tree shillings, mads ot silver and worth 13', cents.
