Adapted from the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
Picture
• Now with another world war going on, it may be interesting
to check on some of the unusual uses of paper during the first
World War. Here are a few of the rather unexpected ways in
which paper was used:
Paperboard bodies for ambulances served as a substitute for
wood, reducing the danger of casualties caused by flying wood
splinters when ambulances were struck by shells.
Puttees and leggings taken from German soldiers were made
of sulphite paper reinforced with a few cotton threads.
Paper hand grenades carried an explosive of four ounces of
TNT.
The Bureau of Standards developed a paper airplane fabric
as a substitute for linen.
Paper vests were worn by aviators because of their light
weight.
With modern man’s ingenuity one wonders what uses for
paper will be discovered and put into service during the present
conflict.

21 MILLION MILES FLOWN
WITH BUT ONE ACCIDENT
• More than 21 million miles flown with but one fatal accident
up to May 1—that’s the record of pilots in the Civilian Pilot
Training Program sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
This report was made Tuesday by Hugh Herndon, Private
Flying Specialist, Civil Aeronautics Authority, in a Texas-wide
broadcast of the “United States Government Reports” radio
series.
Interviewed by B. Frank White, Acting State Director for the
Office of Government Reports, Herndon said that more than
9,000 college students are learning to fly safely as a result of
the training program. He estimated that about 90 percent of
the number would be licensed as private pilots when they com-
plete their course in June.
Herndon denied that the Civilian Pilot Training Program was
military in purpose, declaring that “we are no more military
pilots than a boy who can walk is a good infantry soldier.” He
admitted that many of the students wanted to go on to the
military training provided by the Army and Navy, but insisted
it was “because it is good training rather than because it is
military training.”

POULTRY INDUSTRY IN AUSTIN COUNTY
• Poultry industry has become quite an item of prosperity in
Austin County, and there are many fine flocks, many of them
fine breeds and the same color, giving them a thoroughbred
appearance.
A 20 per cent gain over March, 1939, was shown in ship-
ments of poultry from Texas to other states this March, the
University of Texas Bureau of Business Research has reported.
Of the 72 car loads, 64 were of chickens, 8 of turkeys.
Egg shipments increased from 86 to 87 cars.

Barry had just finished his

“Eh, oh, Mrs. Trexel . . . .
she’s in Europe. Been there for
several months,” he replied.
“Then this thing here in the
newspaper must be a mistake,”
Sam rejoined, as he shoved the
sheet along the bar.
It was a familiar society col-
umn Barrie saw. He was more
dazed and confused than ever
when he finished reading:

SUSAN

effervescent love affair.
Barrie’s woozy brain mud-
dled back through the years.
He wanted his wife. He thought
of the little girl both he and
Susan had so sadly neglected.
Where was she now? Oh, yes
—in a fashionable school in
nearby New England. Susan
had always had Blossom in
hand—the best of schools in the
winter and “everything a child
needed” in some camp for the
socially elect in the summer.
Somehow tonight none of these
smug arrangements seemed to
satisfy him.
Not in years had Barrie
driven the Boston Post Road—
or any other road—at that hour
in the morning. But the Nor-
mandie was docking at eleven.
And this was not the Barrie of
the Racquet Club bar. He was
fresh, alert, well groomed.
Blossom was radiant on the
drove back to New York.
“Do you know, daddy,” she
said excitedly, “I couldn’t sleep
a wink last night after Miss
Parsons told me you were com-
ing. for me.

the immediate offing; read

CHAPTER ONE
• There must have been a
time when metropolition New
York was like any other place
where men struggle to fulfill
their destinies. But that was so
long ago that none now living
can remember.
Visitors from the American
hinterland—and from all over
the world—sense a difference—
and only add to their mental
confusion by trying to explain
it.
Maybe the Wizard of Menlo
Park was the unwitting magi-
cian who touched off the trans-
formation. When Edison’s wisp
of vegetable fibre charred but
refused to break—when the in-
candescent electric bulb was
born—the whole world was
marked for change. New York’s
“Great White Way” might have
been envisioned then but cer-
tainly no one could have for-
seen “Broadway” as the Am-
erican influence it so rapidly
became—a power to change at
their very roots the thinking
processes of millions of people.
One by one the lights flashed
off at a little newsreel theatre
in the “fussy fifties.”
A uniformed attendant in
the lobby was putting the front
of the house to bed for its fit-
ful few hours’ sleep. Reluctant
stragglers sauntered out but-
