Parachute-Testing Dummies Of Rope Wooden Dummy, Covered With Cloth, Formerly Used There 1s a very interesting char- actor, known intimately only to a select' few and having - quite assortment of names, such as "Dummy Joe," "Joe Roper," or "Rudolf." ~The last mentioned namo 'alludes to "Jumper" Hess who dropped in on Great Britain for a protracted stop. The other names aro more di- rectly descriptive of the rope dum- mies used by. the United States Army Air Corps parachute: lab- coratory at Wright Field at Day- ton, Ohio. With G. I. sardonic irony, many a rookie parachutist has receiys ed with his 'chute the assurance that "if it fails to open, bring it back and I'l give you another." Because parachute - fatlures--with lve jumpers @attached--aro defi nitely frowned upon in army cir cles, dummies are used in test ing experimental types of para- chutes, I One early type of parachute- testing dummy was a life-size wooden replica of a man and had hinges to provide flexibility ot arm and leg joints. The wood was covered with cloth, making the dummy even more lifelike. Caused False Alarm "The wooden --dummy--had--two-- * --shortcomings. In the first place, he looked so like a real aviator that false alarms from the worried citizenry were likely to abound whenever an experimental 'chute failed to function and let the dum. my plunge willy-nilly from the sky. il the second place, woed prov. ed far too frangible for the rough Jifo the dummy had to lead. The first 'chute failure with a wooden dummy was likely to reduce the figure to a uscless pile of splinters. Rope dummies are far tougher customers. They still approximate the human form (to duplicate such problems as arms and legs tan- gling in parachute shroud lines, y and the factor of wind resistance duo to surface areh) but are made of four-inch rope looped to resem- ble a person, with bags of lead shot added to bring the dummy's welght up to that of a live jumper. aii Allies Wage War "On Another Pest Desert Locust Making Head- way in Middle East.

Hebrews 13 : 6, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--1446-1445 B.C. Place ~The call to Moses occur- red near Mount Sinal (or Mount Horeb). God Prepares Moses "And Moses sald unto Goa, Be- hold, whdh I come unto the chil --dren-of Israel -and--si®} say unto - them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me. What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14, "And God sald moreover unto THAT 1 AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." When Moses asks (lod for a special revelation of His name, that he might assure the Israel- ftes he had come to them under a divine commission, God told him that His name was I AM THAT I AM. He could now say, He in whose name 1 come Is about to realizo the promise of the land of --€anaan tho seed of Abraham. God's Name Forever "And God said moreover unte Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, tho God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the (od of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this 1s my name for ever, and this is my memorial un- to all generations." 'This state ment contains a very important truth--a truth which many profes- sing Christians seem to forget, namely, that God's relationship with Israel is an eternal one. lle does not say, 'This Is my name for a time, so long as they con- tinue what they ought to be. No; 'this 1s my name forever, amd this Js my memorial unto all gener- atlons." "Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying, 1 have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt." Here is a definite promise on tho part of God that Ho will surely deliver His people out of the affliction of Egypt, and will bring-tliem 'into a land flow- fng with milk and honey. ST God's Answer "And Moses said unto Jehovah, Oh, Lord, T am not eloquent, neith- er heretofore, nor since «thon hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And Jchovah said unto him, who hath made man's mouth? _ ~~ earth; so thatthe {and was --dark- oped, and they did eat every herb of tho land," these pests have continued thelr destructive ways from thes Niger In Africa to the Indus in India. The Red Sea and "the Persian Gull offer no obstacle to their flight. Three Species. There are three species of lo- cust---the desert locust of the Bible story, the red locust which seldom comes north of the equa- tor, and the migratory Jdocust, which covers most ground. A swarm seen to cross the Red Sea in 1889 was estimated to occupy 2,000 square mils of sky. No Axis army could be so completely, de- structive of vegetation as one of these clouds of locusts. For the last 12 years thore has been an anti-locust research bureau in 'London, and plans had _. boen made before the war for an international campaign against the pests by British, Belgians and French. It was to have heen launched at the chief "strategic areas" in Southern Persia and Arabia. .. ; . Use Poisoncd Bran. Since the. plans were Interrupt- ed, the desert locusts have gath- ered headway, and their big move- ment is expected this year or noxt, Therefore, British, Indian, Rus- ' slan and "Porsian entomologists are at work in Persia and Arabia, whilo a motorized mission is es- tablished ip Ethiopla. The most effective weapon against theso in. sects yet found is poisoned bran, which is put in their way in great dumps, Airships To Carry : 200 Passengers Wartime transport flying boats capable of being converted into il "200-passenger skyliners for post- (41 3 war use were disclosed recently , to be under construction at a' 4 / British aircraft factory.

Is it not 1, Jehovah? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teachithee what thou shalt speak." - The work had nothing whatever to do with the eloquence or in- . eloquence of Moses. It was not to be measured or deteriined by his personal gifts. The moment, there- fore, that he turned to his individ- ual talents, he lost sight of the great end which he was called in- strumentally to accomplish. "And he said, Oh, Lord, send, 1 pray thee, by the hand of. him whom thou wilt send." This Is a curt impatient, and scarcely rever- ent speech. Moses means that he will undertake the task if God in- sists; but that God would do far better to send another. Moses' Commission _ "And the anger of Jehovah was T kindled against Moses, and ho sald, Is there not Aaron thy broth- er the Levite? I know that he can speak well. And algo, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he sceth thee, he will be - glad in hls heart. And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people; and it shall come to pass, that ho shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.- And thou shalt take thy hand this rod, wherewith thou shalt "do the signs." The word here trans- lated anger ls the Scripture phrase! appropriate for description of God's feeling toward {idolatry (Exod. 26). Perhaps Moses here betrays an inward fear of Egypt's heathenism, as well- as Jack of frank ardor or readiness for battle with It. Aaron is here mentioned for the first time. 'Three ycars older than Moses . (Exad. 71: 7), he scems to have been all this time in good standing in Egypt, In Aaron we never gee real great. ness; in Meses when once he is under, ness" . 3 Well"Kideed 18 It when the soul cries whith the great apostle: 'We are not sufficlent of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves.' But we must howare, for thers 1a a hidden line over which self-dis- trust may not pass, lest it become unbelief. Cherish the lowliest thought you choose of yourself, but unite it with the loftiest con- ception of God's all-sufficlency. 7 RA] Fei Ay ay, we never sce little | Assigned to the galley of a U.\S. minesweeper at San Diego, nine-weeks-old Scuttlebutt is both mascot and ship's cook 2nd class for his shipmates, marring of a useful life, Wo must think soberly of ourselves, not too lowly, as not too extravagantly. The one talent must not be buried in the earth, It would seem as though In every step of the way at this time in Moses' life, ho tlebded reassurance from God that he cannot turn back and fail to achieve the great task which God now was ready to have accomplished, So the Lord spoke to him once again, telling him not to hesitate ta go back to Egypt, for all the men were dead who had sought his life. Moses, when he went down to Egypt, should do all those things which the Lord had -told him to do and not just simply to arrive there as the place to which God had gent him, but also to do that for which he was. sent. Device Cuts Down The static which comes in on a radio set is picked up and set t. work eliminating its own noise in a new control announced by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. The static is reduced from "thousands of volts to about one- twenty thousandths of a volt, and the result is like a muffler on an auto, reducing static noise tc a purr which does not drown out the radio. . Gilbert Andersen, the inventor, "said the @ made by nearby lightning is re- duced to . about the loudness of the rustle of a sheet -of paper. The static eliminator will not be made for the public until after the war. It is a small device, of electronic tubes, made to plug into any radio set.' Ordinary radio signals, which carry broadcast voices, come in with an average strength of about one-twenty- thousandth of a volt. Occasionally millionth of a volt. The new tubes pick up most, but not all, of the static voltage. That pick-up eliminates part of the noise.

A complete hospital was flown to Alaska in 36 hours after the Japanese bombing of Dutch Har- bor. .
