Model The four Hoess brothers of Hammond, Ind., who devised a low cost homestead and housing plan to fit the average working man’s small in come, may have started a nationwide movement. Frank Hoess, (third left) oldest of the brothers, was subpenaed to appear before Sen. Joseph O’Mahoney’s so-called monopolies investigating committee. This com mittee is considering amendments to the 1937 housing act, and the Hoess plan has been suggested as the basis for a national program. Left to right, the brothers are William, John, Frank and Joseph.

Miss Betty Lawrence. France, Italy Plan ‘Sky Forts’ Where Hannibal Grossed Alps European News Reveals Possible Defense Strengthening. Frcparal by National Geographic Society, Washington, D. C.—WNU Service. Here high on the rugged Alpine border are pictured French troop* staging an imaginary raid on the “enemy” This picture was taken on the site of the possible exten sion of the Maginot-Siegfricd lines. France has her Maginot line; Germany her Limes (or “Sieg fried”) line. Will Italy too have a great chain of fortifications where her western border meets France? And will still another line of French fortifi cations spring ut> to face those of Italy? According to dis patches from Europe, the chances are in favor of such construction as German ex perts in the Italian Alps inspect already-erected fortifications in what is interpreted as a move to extend the Siegfried line south from Switzerland all the way to the Mediterranean. As the c/ow (or the aviator) flies, the trip from the southwest tip of Switzerland to the sea is about 150 miles long. Following the torturous route of the actual border, however, as it curves and twists along French and Italian Alps, the distance is roughly 300 miles. This stretch is the only spot in Europe where French and Italian frontiers meet. Soldiers ‘Fly Through the Air.’ On both sides of the line, men— wi:h forts, pillboxes, and barbed wire—already guard their borders. Alpine troops, including the French Chasseurs and the Italian Bersag- lieri, are trained and equipped for the peculiar and exacting duty of mountain operations. Skilled skiers, they learn the "tricks of the trade”: how to meet constant danger from nature in a land of glaciers, hid den crevice's, and avalanches; how to conceal themselves from the en emy; and how to shoot to the best advantage in their special field of action. They learn to balance themselves on skis while carrying arms and heavy packs. By constant prac tice, these mountain soldiers be come adept at jumps and racing, performing “stunts” on the ice and snow as spectacular as the flyer’s tricks in the air. During the World war, when ski fighters were first used on a large scale, the Italian forces saw considerable Alpine serv ice in the east. Then France was Italy’s ally. Today, as Italy arms her frontier on the western ranges of the great mountain chain that rings about her entire northern border, it may be recalled that it was from the west, somewhere in this region, that Han nibal marched against Rome 200 years before Christ. A Dramatic Military Feat. Historians disagree about the ex act pass over which the Carthagini an general transported his men and elephants in a military feat all the more remarkable because it was performed late in the year, against the menace of increased snow and ice. The pass of the Little St. Ber nard, however, leading from France south of her towering Mont Blanc, has many points in its favor 17. S. Paper Industries Manufacture Products Totaling Billion Dollars Paper, in some form, is so com mon in American homes that one does not give much thought as to how or from what it is made al though the value of paper prod ucts manufactured annually in the United States amounts to about a billion dollars. At one time spruce and balsam were the principal woods from which paper was made but the grad ual decrease in the stands of these woods caused the U. S. forest prod ucts laboratory, Madison, Wis., sev eral years ago to begin investigat ing other woods for paper making. The forest products laboratory has found that good pulps for various kinds of paper can be made from many kinds of wood, up to the pres ent time having satisfactorily tried out over 90 different species. Years ago it found that good, strong, white pulps could be made from the pines, widely distributed throughout the southern states. Up to that time most of the pulpwood had come from the northern part of the Unit ed States. A recent laboratory ex periment shows that a good pulp for containers and building papers can be made from blackjack oak, a wood never before thought of in connection with paper making. as the most logical route of the Carthaginian invasion. Some 2,000 years later Napoleon also marched over the western Alps into Italy, this time by way of the Great St. Bernard pass at the south west comer of Switzerland. .In modem times railways and good motor roads cross the western Alps at various points on the way from the giant ice-capped peaks of the Swiss border to the sunny Riviera of the Mediterranean. One of the earliest Alpine tunnels—Mount Ce- nis—pierces solid rock for eight miles in the route between Modane in France and Bardonecchia in Italy. Since Hannibal made his precari ous way over nature’s rugged path. The map above shows the exact location of the proposed Italian. French fortifications. If carried out the move will amount to an ex tension of the Maginot line south from Switzerland all the way to the Mediterranean. men have built many strategic high ways in and across the western Alps. Napoleon constructed four great military roads and planned others. Reports indicate that today stra tegic road-building in this part of the world is going on at an accel erated rate on both sides of the French-Italian border. Upper Air Observations Will Improve Accuracy Of Weather Forecasts The word "probably” will be seen less frequently in daily weather forecasts, as a result of increased upper air observations, in the opin ion of F. W. Reichelderfer, chief of the United States weather bureau. He refers particularly to the use of the radio-sonde. This instrument, developed by the national bureau of standards, trans mits radio signals which indicate air pressure, temperature, and hu midity every few hundred feet up to 60,000 or 70,000 feet, so that the ground observer knows these impor tant forecast items as fast as the balloon ascends, j Already in the United States there are six weather bureau, two army, and two navy radio-sonde stations. The radio-sonde, weighing less than two pounds and carried by a bal loon five or six feet in diameter after inflation, rises at a rate of about 1,300 feet a minute. At a height of nearly 15 miles, the bal loon bursts and the instrument comes to earth by parachute. A large per cent of the instruments are recovered. “If we can understand the changes that take place in the thousands of feet of atmosphere above us, most of which take part in the ‘manufac ture’ of weather," says Mr. Reichel derfer, “we can satisfy the demands of the farmer, aviator, engineer, add general public. Ship’s Position A ship’s position is computed from her log without astronomical ob servations. The chief elements con sidered are the latitude and longi tude sailed from or last computed; the course or direction sailed in, aa ascertained by compass; the rate ot sailing measured by the log, and the elapsed time. Strange Facts ! Regional Moods Ears to Hear With Who Is Perfect? ! Motion-picture producers, wish ing to adapt movies to different regional tastes, have been known to make pictures with two types of endings—a tragic one for the East and West coasts and a happy one for the Middle West. Among the remarkable physical features that have been produced in animals through selective breeding are the enormous ears of the “lop-eared” rabbits. Some on record are six inches wide by twenty-eight inches long. In at least 90 per cent of the American- people, the left eye is nearer to the nose than the right eye. An analysis of the 400 most im portant inventions and discoveries made throughout the world in the past 400 years shows that 95 per cent of them originated in four countries: United States, Great Britain, France and Germany. Probably no man who ever lived has shot firearms as many times as a rifle tester in the Win chester plant in New Haven, Conn. During his 52 years on this job, he has tried out and approved about 2,500,000 rifles with approx imately 17,000,000 shots. The tropical American vine called the ceriman.
