Smith and Nancy, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hiller, Leo Michels and "Huppy" Smith <* WASHINGTON. -- The voices of men who died at their posts, and the information they had to give with1 their last breaths, will be coming back in a shoe box size container from the bombers fighting over Europe. The box carries spools of magnetized wire, thin strands, each thousands of feet long, and each one capable of recording more than an hour's conversation. These wire sound records are one of the newest developments of warfare.- Various types of recording have been used, but the wires fit peculiarly well in fighting planes, because they are not seriously affected by vibration. Drama and history are expected to come out of the recordings; but j their purpose is strictly military. A (record of everything that goes on in | battle, and such records have been J widely used already in some operai tions, fills in many missing gaps f about what went wrong and, what worked well and what handicaps are to be overcome in the next similar fight. Everything Is Noted. When crews return from missions, they are tired, nerve strained, sometimes jittery, sometimes wounded-- and sometimes a crewman is dead. Intelligence officers immediately j question the living, but it is realized j that men can't fight their way i through flak and fighters and remem- j ber every stage of their mission. Here the recorder does its work, j Connected with the plane's communication system, it records'all that : transpires, including the hour and ' position and spotting of flak bursts. | Result: The air forces know where ! to look for enemy gun ^positions on the next trip, and drop a few bombs for good luck. The entire story of. a raid--or an operations officers' session or an important headquarters session--can be sent to Washington to point up and amplify a written report. Light, • little spools of wire, occupying little space, carry the story. They are played like phonograph records. The wire can b^ demagnetized, which wipes it clean of all records, and used again and^gain . . . or its voices may be reigned permanently. Simplic ity ancreconoiay are points in its favor. Seek Further^Use. Maj. Howard L. Nussbaum, former program director for the National Broadcasting company in New Y6rk,who took the first spool records shoe-box out in a Fortress flying over a European target, is experimenting with the further use of the wires in planes. It appears possible to record all the conversations, military or otherwise. The men do not need now to direct all their con- ; versation to the wire pickup, and it is planned to further perfect the! range. j Lieut. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, com- | manding general in the European theater of operations, said the device j may have great tactical value to j the army. He added: "Its future possibilities i : of providing information to the public can be judged by its hearers." Nine minutes of the conversation off the wire of the first bomber flight was broadcast to the Unitec. > States in an overseas radio trans- : mission. At one point the top gunner remarked, as flak and enemy fighter plane opposition became bitter: "Something around, I think." The pilot's voice answered: "Cut out that fussing around and get on the ball." The blanks were profanity. There is sometimes a lot of : strong language during an air fjght. j i Ration Board Chairman Bares Monkey Business I JACKSONVILLE, FLA. - Chair- ! man Sidney S. Simons of the gas i ration board hears a lot of reasons I why applicants think they should have more coupons but he was sure there was monkey business connect- I ed with one of them. The woman applicant explained her B coupons j were all gone because "my pet j monkey tore them out and ate them." ! Simons had her claim investigated i and found it to be true. The miss- i ing coupons were replaced. Offer Cheap Haircuts To Draw New Employees PHILADELPHIA, PA.--The Philadelphia Transit company, which offered a bonus of $10 >to any employee who could bring in a new employee to work at least a month, has offered a new advantage to workers. Barbers have been allotted rent-free space in all large car barns where they administer tonsorial service for employees at low prices. ie mental patients receive ime care, as the family do not want it known that such a thing as "insanity" is in the family. Fortunately, Bi most cases the family physician is able to persuade the family that mental illness is the same as any illness of the body and can be due to the same causes -- infection, anxiety, shock, injury and others. Further, at the mental hospital today treatment to remove any cause of the symptoms is given; dentists, throat specialists, women's specialists are on the staft or make regular visits. One of the most effective methods of treating certain types of mental illness is by producing shock in the patient by insulin, metrazol and, more recently, by electricity. Because of accidents that occasionally occur during shock this form of treatment has heretofore been given in mental hospitals and sometimes in the ordinary municipal hospitals.

When Bricker took the helm of Ohio's government it was operating on a deficit basis and was approximately $40,000,000 "in the red." The new Governor pledged his administration to put the state on a pay-asyou- go basis, pay the debt, meet the full requirements of the state school financing program for the first time, provide adequate relief for the unstate's monopoly liquor and thousands of dollars through salvage of state equipment--long before the" nation was salvage-conscious.
