Thermate Bomb.
The four-pound thermate bomb
consists of a hollow steel tube
with a hexagonal tail. The tubur
can
lar body holds almost two pounds
rt thermate, which burns for
three to four minutes at 3,400 de
grees Fahrenheit, the intense heat
inciting the steel tube and releas
ing molten metal to run across the
target, setting fires in its path.
Because of its intense heat, this
bomb is used against targets dif
ficult to ignite. It, too, is drop
ped in clusters.
Oil Bombs.
The six-pound jellied oil bomb,
hexagonal in shape, explodes on
Impact with spectacular effect.
Bursting, it shoots flaming oil
iuad rubber from its tail for as
far as 25 yards in all directions.
This bomb is furnished in two
types, one containing “gel-gas,” a
jesin-type Jelly, and the other a
composition which is mixed with
gasoline. These bombs also are
clustered.
The 100-pound jellied oil bomb
is a thin-walled, shell weighing

released by the bombardier, it
falls free, the propeller (or arm
ing vane) spinning for several
revolutions and then falling a-
way into space. This frees the
bomb fuse for action. The pro
peller can be set to fall off after
about a dozen or more revolu
tions, depending on how far the
bomb is desired to drop before
arming itself to explode on im
pact. This bomb, just short of
one yard in length, has tremen
dous firepower but, because of its
relatively light weight, must br
released from low altitudes ir
order to strike with accuracy.

per cent of the lumber they re

Previously the orders affected
only those mills producing 10,000
board feet per day of one kind of
lumber, and only yards that pro
cessed lumber by sawing, edging,
planing or other comparable
method.
“Great quantities of lumber are
needed by the Army and the Navy
for boxtnsr and crating supplies
and equipment to ship overseas,”
vlr. Williams said. “We need more
Southern yellow pine. hickory
ash, oak and pecan. If our boy^
in Italy and in the Pacific are to
get enough food and amunition
and planes to fight with we must
see that the lumber goes to the
Armed Forces, and is not used to
build garages or new homes or

These things can wait.”

Passenger Traffic On
Intercity Busses In •
1943 Was 963 Million
More than half of all passengers
using any form of public transpor
tation between cities last year
rode on the country’s 23,474 high
way buses, the. National Associa
tion of Motor Bus Operators an
nounced today.
Passenger traffic on intercity
buses reached a record-breaking
high of 963 million in 1943, ac
cording to the association's find
ings. This total represents a gain
of 39.1 per cent over 1942 and i;
two and one-half times the riders
of any peacetime year.
One-hundred and seventy-five
of the nation’s major bus lines
accounted for 783 million of last,
year’s passengers, while smaller
operations contributed another 180-
million. Reports of the larger op
erators show that while they car
ried 42.1 per cent mere passen
gers, their operating, mileage in
creased only 11.3 per cent.
The figures are based upon corv^~-
servative projections of Interstate
Commerce Commission reports
which have been completed
htcugb- November, 1943.
