Custer, invector of the strange machine, said. The craft uses what Is known as the "Custer channel wing." Eventually Eventu-ally it will have two straight wings long with the semi-circular airfoils air-foils but Custer said the device is being flown with only the channel wings to demonstrate that they lone can lift it. The pilot on several short, straight flights at Municipal airport was Frank D. Kelley, commercial photographer. pho-tographer. The plane has two 75-horse power engines set on spars across the top of the two semicircles. The propellers pro-pellers are at the trailing edge of the channel They draw air through the channel, giving the effect of high forward speed even when the machine is standing still. Because of that, Custer said, the plane is able to rise almost vertically. verti-cally. He said the plane took off at a speed of about 30 miles an hour and rose very sharply. Because Be-cause of the radical design and necessity of acquainting himself with the strange ship, Kelley went up only 15 feet or so on the first Sight, Custer said. The plane has no brakes. Take-off, flight and landing must be done within the length of a single runway run-way until the machine can be maneuvered ma-neuvered for a circuit of the field. This probably will not be done, Custer Cus-ter said, until straight wings are added outboard of the channels. Custer, a former automobile mechanic, me-chanic, has been working on the invention at his small chicken farm west of here for 10 years. More than $200,000 has been invested. Loan Shop Ownor Discovers Bargain Furs An Expensive INDIANAPOLIS, IND. - Max Sacks was sad. Those two $230 fur scarves he bought for $80 each had been such bargains too. Detective Sgts. George Hubbard and Ernest Hughes said Sacks, proprietor pro-prietor of loan company, told them a man came in some time ago offering a scarf he said was worth $250 for $30. Sacks bought it. Some time later the same man came back with another also valued at $250. The scarf man returned to the loan company a third time. Sacks, suspicious, whispered to the detectives, detec-tives, who were in his office. They arrested the man on a vagrancy charge. v Detectives listened to his story and then arrested his former wife on a vagrancy charge. Sacks was surprised when he learned her identity. iden-tity. The woman, he told detectives, was his employee and the scarves he had bought were from his own vault Nature's Moods Overcome By 'Manufactured' Weather j TOLEDO, OHIO. Known In Indus-J Indus-J try as temperature and humidity, , weather can affect the quality of dozens of items of every-day use, from candy to coffee and sweaters to shower curtains, but Industry has way to beat Mother Nature's moods. Production men call it "manufactured" "manufac-tured" weather. Without it, the processing of beans In Boston, nylons in New York and gasoline in Galveston can be thrown off balance by such tricks of the weatherman as excessive dampness, damp-ness, a sudden cold snap or even a hot, dry spell. A case in point, the tobacco industry must minutely control the atmosphere in factories and warehouses and many textiles and plastics can be processed only under ideal temperature and moisture moist-ure conditions.

Over Killing of Sk Cstlie MEXICO CITY. - The cause of medicine in Mexico has suffered a staggering setback as a result of the cattle-killing program.

New Disposable Nursing Bottle Eliminates Baby's Problems CHICAGO. More than 80 years ago the standard glass nursing bottle was Invented. Before that, babies who, for one reason or another, an-other, could not be nursed by their mothers did the best they could with the aid of a flask-shaped bottle bot-tle and a long rubber hose. At the end of the hose was a crude nipple, forerunner of today's variety. With the exception of-a tew minor min-or changes and adjustments, the glass nursing bottle has remained virtually unchanged. One of the first major changes in baby nursing is a new collapsible, collapsi-ble, disposable, pre-sterilized bottle bot-tle which does away with many of the headaches that have been plaguing plagu-ing mother. The new bottles are made of a plastic material which, while strong and sturdy, is at the same time soft and pliable. In fact, as the infant in-fant removes the formula, the bottle bot-tle actually collapses, entirely eliminating problems of back-pressure and collapsed nipples. With these new bottles, you use one just once end throw it away. The bottles come in a long roll, sealed off from each other at Intervals Inter-vals to form either four or eight-ounce eight-ounce bottles. When mother prepares pre-pares the formula, she merely snips of? the number of bottles needed, fills them, and puts them in the refrigerator. The only things she sterilizes are the nipples, the caps, and the rings which hold the nip-Die nip-Die to the bottle. Sardine Fishermen Catch Eldest Hauls at Night SAN FRANCISCO - Sardine fishing, fish-ing, California's 60 million dollar industry, is geared' to the phases of the moon, according to Dr. Robert C Miller, director of the California Academy of Sciences. Miller pointed out that sardine fishing is carried on 'n darkness, and "not only at dead of night, but in the dark of the moon." He explained that California fishermen fish-ermen locate schools of sardines by the luminescent streak they make in the water by stirring up microscopic micro-scopic organisms. On the other hand, he said, in Washington, Oregon Ore-gon and British Columbia, the sardine sar-dine fishermen do their fishing in full daylight. Another strange fact, he observed, ob-served, is that fishermen from the northwest who can find their sardines sar-dines in daylight without much trouble, take to night fishing when they come to California.

Army Sergeant Befriends Crippled Orphan Boy in China NANKING. A soldier of the United States army advisory group in Nanking has befriended a one-legged one-legged Chinese boy and is paying for bis schooling, according to a recent re-cent report in the Chinese press. He Is Sergeant L. Beckwith, of the medical department, and the boy is Che' en Ll-chang, whose father was killed while fighting the Japanese in 1837. Ll-chang's mother is believed to have perished when Japanese bombing planes destroyed a refugee refu-gee train in 1944. Li-chang lost his leg in the raid. A passing American truck driver saw the boy lying by the roadside and brought him to the hospital From then on the unit became his guardian. Wearing a cut-down uniform uni-form and traveling with his American Ameri-can protectors, Li-chang passed from city to city in China. And as his various "fathers" left the unit, each in turn handed him over to another. He finally ended up as the charge of Sergeant Beckwith, a devout Christian and a former captain in the Salvation Army. The sergeant, speaking of the boy's upkeep, said: "The biggest expense, oddly, enough, is buying him shoes. Although Al-though Li-chang has only one leg I have to buy him shoes in pairs and as he is lively and hit weight it all borne by one shoe it wears out twice as fast as a normal boy's. The. sergeant recently asked Li-chang Li-chang if he would like to go to America. To his surprise the boy said he could not. He was a Chinese, Chi-nese, he added, and wanted to live in China all his life. Li-chang said he wants to train as a doctor so that he can help his fellow countrymen as he has been helped. The imoprtant thing in life is to have a great aim, and to possess aptitude and the per peverance to attain it. Goethe LIBRARY NOTES By Norma Cook We have a new order of books just recently arrived.

London Wingo chose a career in the ministry the way he might have chosen law, medicine, or business, and it was not until much later, when faced with the choice between uprightness and success, that his faith became evident. We meet him in a theological seminary, struggling to reconcile recon-cile his desire for learning with the financial worries ' of his wife's pregnancy. He applies for a church in Linden, Missouri and, accepted by the deacons there, feels he has found security secur-ity for his family. He does not realize that in return for this security the people of Linden expect him to conform to their practices and ideas. The struggles of London and his wife Kathy to keep both their church and their spiritual integrity rise to a powerful climax cli-max in Kathy's serious illness. London realizes he must choose between Linden and the people who had made Kathy's life there unhappy and a rich metropolitan met-ropolitan church where he might escape to a happier and mere profitable life.
