The Latest Contribution Imy and navy have been this way and that about the helicopter, but there is no doubt that it is now a war wespon. Its uses are a military secret, but its value in spotting submarines and in reconnaissance are covious. It can take off from any ship deck and it can hover in the air like a humâ€" ming bird while a mechanic swings down under and changes a wheel. Igor Sikorsky is a shy, gentle man who dreams great dreams. tion on, he found it difficult to keep his mind on his dreams and went to Paris to lecture before YMCA audiences on a variety of subjects. Rachmaninoff, the pianist, wanted him to keep on dreaming, and, with other musicians, gathered $100,000 to this end. In the U. S. A., he built the huge Sâ€"35. It was to take Rene Fonck to France, but it crashed on the runway and burned two men to death. Mr. Sikorsky kept on deâ€" signing and building, a pioneer of multiâ€"engined planes, in his 36â€"acre air plant in Connecticut. :3 His dreams are paced to muâ€" sic, Chopin frequently, as music is somehow innate in his genius and inseparable from his aeroâ€" nautical flights into the futureâ€" which he says belongs to the air. Eight hundred classical records are a part of his workâ€" aâ€"day equipment. On his tidy little home farm, he raises cuâ€" _ cumbers and drives his own tractor,. He loves cucumbers, perhaps on account of their nice design. He is plump, bald and hesitant, with a Charlie Chaplin mustache. ..His father was proâ€" fessor of psychology at the Uniâ€" versity of Kiev. ibbean sea and the Gulf of Mexico in 1937. His absorbing life interests ate science and invention. It took him seven years to bring it through and a war to make him change the name from "mercy tank" to "alligator." He apparently inâ€" herited the inventive and construcâ€" tve genius of his grandfather, the late Washington A. Roebling, who not only built the Brooklyn bridge, but spanned Niagara gorge in 1850. Young Roebling has been known as a sportsman, much at sea on his Jorano, on which he led a Anothsoniah exploration of the Carâ€" Consolidated Features.â€"WNU Release l‘l' WOULD BE just like the versaâ€" tile marines to unveil a seaâ€"going truck. ‘That‘s just what they have done, and we‘ve been trying to find s out whether Seaâ€"Going Truck |, was used Just What Doctor in lt‘!’nblepp. raid.

The marines call it their ‘"inâ€" vasion, taxi,‘" and its inventor, Donald Roebling, grandson of the builder of the Brooklyn bridge, calls it the "alligator." Down in Florida, it wis just a "swamp buggy" at first, or a "merâ€" ey tank," developed by Donald Roebling after the hurricane of 1933, to rescue storm vietims garconed in the Everglades. It goes about twice as fast on land as on water. Twentyâ€"five feet long and about as wide as â€" & box car, it can be lowered over the side of a transport or warship, take the water like a duck and, hitting the shore, keep right on mushing along. It can carry a big load of leatherâ€" necks, a military freight car, or plenty of fighting gear.

He doesn‘t condemn 129,999,999 perâ€" sons for the wrong done him by one person. No, he reacts positively to life. Indeed, he says YES to life. Will Rogers was an optimist.
