TATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411 OUTFIT THE OUTFIT The here next coming Third War Loan Drive which opens Tuesday evening promises to have more support than any such drive in the past. Almost 30 organizations of Juneau and Douglas have signed up to help in making the campaign a success. Once again the Twentieth Century Theatre has opened its doors to members of the Gastineau Channel War Finance Committee for the purpose of staging a show to start the drive on its way toward the $250,000 mark. The Army and Coast Guard have offered their cooperation It is certain that the people of Juneau and Douglas will have little to not know that the drive is on reason Gastineau Channel drive—Outfit The Outfit that the completely outfit has its own slogan for the Committee members figure raised if the quota is reached will 350 soldiers. money And that's just about where the money will go to keep our men in the armed forces fit for fighting. Investing in war bonds Is just as safe as placing your money in a bank. You can get your money back before maturity if the need is pressing. Of course the patriotic element should be considered first of all in purchasing the bonds. But this purchase is saving. Be sure to attend the big parade that starts the campaign off. It will begin at 7 p. m. Tuesday, and the show will be held in the theatre at 8 o'clock.

Aurand, in charge of the Army ‘Sm\lw Forces of the Sixth Service Command, comes out with the startling news that women have made good drivers for the Army. He says that “since we began hiring women last November to drive Army vehicles they have not been involved in a single serious accident l< «lbll.r th.m \ound (Cincinnati Enguirer) It was an almost incredible feat which Lieutenant Colonel Cass ‘'H. Hough, Technical Director of the Eighth Fighter Command of the United States Army Air Forces, performed on two occasions with new American fighter planes. He travelled 780 miles an hour; faster than sound. We used to think, a gen- eration ago, that a speed of a mile a minute wa terrific. The Army test pilot covered space at the rate of 13 miles a minute. Lieutenant Colonel Hough did it first last fall in the P-38 Lightning, and repeated the performance last winter in a Thunderbolt—two very dissimilar types of new American fighters. It was a graphic indication | of the excellence of modern American war craft As the speed of sound is reached, the atmosphere | begins to take on new characteristics of solidity. Plane |speed can be increased only through an almost geomtric increase in motive horsepower. The final 50 or 100 miles an hour of plane speed can be eked out | only though a tremendous increase in engine capacity. Of course, Lieutenant Colonel Hough did not de- | pend upon his engines to attain a speed of a thousand feet a second. Not yet are we building a plane capable of flight at a speed even approaching 780 miles an hour, although the Lightning and Thunder- bolt have top speeds of approximately 400 miles an hour. Hough's speed was attained in a vertical or near vetrical drive, begun eight miles up, and utilizing to the fullest the pull of gravity in a five-mile plummet descent, In such a dive, as the plane enters the denser | atmosphere near the earth's surface, the propellor is more of a hindrance than a help. Incapabale of pulling the ship downward at such a speed, it only contributes to the air resistance which limits the velocity of fall. [ it takes a superlatively good ship to | Naturally, dive at 780 miles an hour. It has to have superb | aerodynamic design to fall so fast, and outstanding mechanical characteristics to be able to withstand | the vibration of such terrific speed and the pull or‘ centrifugal force when the pilot attempts to l‘()m(‘v out of the dive. But whatever it takes American planes—and American pilots—seem to have it.
