(Released by Weatern Newspaper Union.1 NATIONAL AFFAIRS < Reviewed by CARTER FIELD | Explosives for defense held up by nitrate short | age . . . British war , planes use larger cannon- , than generally realized. (Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.* j WASHINGTON.—A visitor from Mars, studying war and anti-war hysteria in thp United States today, might have some startling observa tions to make. He would certainly report, in his 1 ' letters to the folks back on Mars, that the people of the good old U. S. A. and its government as well were very stupid in permitting extrane ous issues to hold up their prepara tions to defend themselves against attack. He would be mystified, for exam ple, when he found out that the No. 1 essential for warfare—explosives— was being held up by a controversy over government ownership! And not government ownership NOW, but the possibility of government own ership AFTER the war! It so happens that explosives, ac cording to army and navy experts, are lagging way behind airplanes, ships and even tanks. Everybody has known this for a long-time, as a matter, of fact ever sincA the war in Europe broke otit. Democracies move slowly, we are told, and there whs littlefhurry to do anything about MODERNIZE MUSCLE SHOALS ♦ X & La£* f But recently the government de cided to d6 something about that old-fashioned njtfate plant at Mus cle Shoals. Everyone knew the proc esses for which that plant was in tended were obsolete, but Jt seemed a simple matter to bring them up to date. It was, but it could be' done only with materials the du^otit* could supply, if it were to be done quickly. The duPonts were eager to help, BUT—they wanted assur ances that after the war was oVer the government would not use the duPont’s own devices to produce cheap nitrates for fertilizers, and thus Compete with the duMonts’ own fertilize^ business. ! Buii no! The government had no idea of Waving any such insurances. It w|nwd the duPonts 4o furnish the very elements the government has needed, all these yeifcrs, to go Into competition With the1 duPonts. So that particular supply of ni trates for explosives waf held up. The hew machinery to modernize the Muscle Shoals plant is now "on order." i Then there is another case which would puzzle our Martian visitor. For airplanes aluminum is of the essence. The O. P. M. has Just Ipsued priorities to restrict other than military uses of this metal. The day after those orders were issued Harold Ickes told reporters he had declined an offer from the Alumi num company to install another plant near Bonneville. His reason— that If the aluminum company took any more power from Bonneville than already negotiated for, there might not be enough for municipali ties desiring public ownership plants! Wonder what our Martian would think about that! • • • British Planes Carry Large Cannon To anyone who has ridden in an airplane, the notion of shooting a cannon from one conjures up all sorts of horrible possibilities. Per haps very few people for that rea son realize the size of the cannon actually in use by the British in air plane fighting. The hew fighting planes made in the United States for the British must of course be equipped to carry these guns. Actually the canndn used by the British so far are of 37-miHtmeter caliber. That means that the diame ter of the projectile is approximate ly 1V4 Inches. Thus the shell fired by a 37-miUi meter cannon from an airplane is nearly five times the diameter of the rifle or machine-gun bullet tflTH t*7V , v It Is still more impressive to real ize that this cannon is almost half the size of the favorite fieldpiece of the Frehcfi army, the famous ”75.” Actually, our own army has fired a 75-mifllmeter rfun from an airplane. Incidentally, while no official an nouncement has been made that the army plans using 75s in airplanes as a regular practice, there was of coftrse uo eaHhly point in making the experiment if the ordnance offi cers did not have that in mind. Some of the bigger of the new airplanes. It is estimated, could be equipped with them to advantage, and prob ably are being so equipped. It is also assured here, by ex ! perts, though there has been no ati nuuncement from London op this P'-'-'-it either, that the new bfg Brit fighters are being equipped with 75s. Obviously this sort of information is a military secret of the deepest nature, never to be disclosed until the full advantage of its surprise , nature has been attained In actual fighting.

Friedrich Christiansen, when he flew the Do-X to this coun try nearly a decade ago, was not inspired by ill-will or propaganda when it recorded his various devices to exorcise the demons of ill-luck. After the blitzkrieg, the general be came runner-up for Dr. Seyss inquart, In the ball-and-chain depart ment in Holland, and just now, as military commander for that area, is dealing plenty of bad luck to the natives. He says he is “taking steps.” That meant executions a few days ago. When the I)o-X landed here in 1931, one young woman report er wan quite lyrical about the “papldaome and gallant com niadder, with his mischievous blue eyes, bushy brows, and warm, ingratiating smile.” He told about his good-lurk horse shoe, nailed in the cabin of the huge flying boat, and as neces sary to Its operation as a com pas,s. It was an English horse Shoe which he had picked up on the battlefield of Mons, in the World war. Many times, it had saved him from disaster, he said, and he could expect trou ble if he ever let It lose its shine, dnd it 'tjdesn t work well unless he does the polishhig. His adventures with the horseshoe led him to a great discovery. When he was the squadron leader at Zee brugge, Germany's first naval act. be was shot down by an English blane.

Flying a plane for the first time, he carves the initials of his best girl on the back seat. He, and many other Ger man fliers will not wear a pair of gloves on a flight unless they have been flown in another plane. It all sounds a bit Jittery for super-men. TIPS,, (jardeners NEW SWEET PEAS A NEW, more vigorous, longer ** blooming, heat-resistant sweet pea family has been introduced to the gardening world. It is the spring flowering sweet pea. Because of their newness, spring flowering sweet peas are as yet available in only seven colors. Three All-American prize-winners were introduced last year: Rose pink, blue, and lavender. The new ones this year are white, clear pink, light lavender, and mauve. The new sweet peas are grown just like other types now in gen eral use. They may be planted outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked. For best results the soil should be spaded to a depth of 18 inches, and the lower 12 inches mixed with fertilizer, preferably well-rotted manure. The trench should then be filled with the soil fertilizer mixture to within six inches of the top, and the seed planted one inch deep in this shal low trench. After vines are well established they should be watered thoroughly once every five to seven days, and the flowers picked regularly.

A Bit Mixed Cross marriages between two families produce some queer mix ups, but the situation created by an American takes some beating.

His daughter, therefore, became his stepmother-in-law and his bride her own stepmother. His wife has just given birth to a daughter.
