Cut Plane Output 95% in Man Hours Factories Reduce Time for Building Two Models. SAN FRANCISCO.--A 95 per cent cut in the production time of making a typical fighter plane was reported here by the West Coast Aircraft War Production Council, Inc. A tremendous reduction was reported for a four-engine bomber also. Neither plane was identified. The council, members of which are the Boeing Aircraft corporation of Seattle and the Consolidated Vultee, Douglas, Lockheed, Northrop, North American, Ryan and Vega companies, stated that the first plane to come from the production line, "Model A" of the fighter craft, took 157,000 man-hours to build. "The tenth plane of that model required 59,000 man-hours," a spokesman said. "By that time the engineers were beginning to discover ways and means to improve the ship, so the 13th plane was a slightly revised model, Model 'B,' which stiff took 59,000 man-hours to build." The 100th plane, in spite of design and model changes and changes in specifications, took only , 26,500 man-hours and the 1,000th, only 7,800 man hours* "In the case of this typical fighter plane, there was a 72 per cent decrease in man hours required each time production was doubled," the eouncil stated. As to the bomber in question, tSe first onfc off the assembly line required 200,000 man hours, to build, according to the council. The tenth took 187,500 man hours, the 20th 137,500 man hours, the 100th 87,500 man hours, the 300th 50,500 man hours, the 1,000th, 22,500 man hours, and the 2,000th, only 13,000 man hours. The figures were offered, it was explained, to show that although aircraft plants on this coast were expected to build 50 per cent more planes, in terms of weight, than in 1943, it would be possible to do so with "relatively small" increases in manpower needs.

It was explained that Frenchmen who before the war were unable to distinguish a Corot from a colored photograph now are enthusiastic buyers and sellers at the Hotel Durot, where many French art auctions are held. - The "^nnual of Public "Sales," Which gives the prices paid for works of art sold at public auctions, listed one of rot's lesser pictures sold in 1943 for 1,391,000 francs. (The franc was worth $.023 at the time France was occupied.) The picture was last sold in 1875 for 500 francs. A Degas sketch, which brought 2,000 francs in 1934, sold for 288,650 francs in 1943, and the same artist's portrait, which sold for 16,000 francs in 1908, brought 1,610,000 franco. In a single day's auction during the year a total of 123 pictures were sold for a total of 55,000,000 francs. Art experts were reported making fortunes both as buyers and agents. Calls Pelt of Muskrat 'Sure Cure' for Asthma ORANGE, TEXAS.--F. J. Pavell of Orange, amateur weather forecaster, announces that he has discovered a "sure cure" for asthma-- muskrat pelts. Local cynics who scoffed wh«n Pavell predicted last fall that a raging gulf hurricane would not hit Orange, observed that if Pavell said muskrats would cure asthma, then muskrats would. Pavell said that sufferers from asthma would be cured if they tied muskrat pelts, fur down, to their chests. He admitted he didn't know why muskrat pelts so attached relieved suffering, but he said he knew it did because he had cured from 50 to 75 persons. "WANTED -- Wooden stave silo.

P, Stmdial Time 'The distance from sunrise to boonand from noon to sunset is exactly the same according to sundial time. The discrepancy in the lengths of the mornings and afternoons is due not to the sun but to the fact that our clocks are not keeping sundial time but time according to the average performance of the sun. Noon by a watch seldom coincides with noon by sundial. If time were computed by sundial exclusively, mornings -and afternoons would be equal in length each day although they would differ from day to day. Jap Flashlight Bulbs Y, .Keep Britons in Dark LONDON.--Exasperated Britons who purchased flashlights to find every bulb a dud, got an explanation recently. The bulbs were part of a prewar consignment of lights made in Japan which the Japs used to dump in Britain at the rate of 40,000,000 a year. About 90 per cent of the bulbs were said fo be bad. Cool Quickly Cool any hot foods quickly, cover them and put them in the refrigerator as soon as you can. Never let them stand around the kitchen. Keep all milk and eggs-- and dishes made from them--clean, cold and* covered. Put canned milk in the icebox once you've opened the can. Don't wash eggs before you store them. If you have a hydrator, put the eggs in thdt Tather than in an open container OT cardboard box. A CTORS are people, but not many studio bosses realize that. Too often here grease paint gals and boys are rated as so many pieces of property to be used or not as the bigwigs see fit, then turned out to pasture. I once knew a young director who stated flatly that "actors are bums." He reeled off an entire column to prove his point that by and'large actors not only bite the hands that feed them but wi]l. take the arms off at the elbow. "They come to town with profile* and paper suitcases," he snarled, "anxious for a c h a n c e , or so they s a y . But with t h e i r f i r s t success they turn on the people who built them up, refuse to do this or Josa Leslie that part, and in general stink up the joint." Those studio gold • braids who share this director's point of view --and there are quite a few--carry on a strange kind of war with their actors in which, or so it seems, they try to impede their professional progress. *1 say "strange kind of war" because to me it's ridiculous to sign a batch of kids, boys and. girls, to long contracts, then to keep these kids miles from a camera until at option time they are unceremoniously given Hie gates. Exception* That Make Rule This is not the rule at all studios. Artd many times the nobody of today becomes tomorrow's star. Let's take Joan Leslie, who has been in nothing but big pictures since she checked in at Warners. Right off the bat she was handed the femme lead opposite Gary Cooper in "Sergeant York." Then an important part opposite Jimmy Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Joan held down an extremely impressive role with Ida Lupino, Dennis Morgan, and Jack Carson in "The Hard Way," followed by the feminine lead in "Rhapsody in Blue" and her newest, "Cinderella Jones." Joan came to Warners to work. She's working. She's one of the lucky ones. So is Dolores Moran. Dolores, an absolute greenhorn at acting, wasn't rushed into a picture on arrival. Instead they let her get her feet on the ground before giving her a dramatic role as Miriam Hopkins' daughter in "Old Acquaintance." Dolores came through, so now she's with Humphrey Bogart in "To Have and Have Not." Dolores Moran, it should be noted, is on her way up-- not out, as she might have fared elsewhere. There's also Alexis Smith, whose story is too well knovyn to bear retelling here. No Time Watted Take the case--and what a case! --of Robert Alda. Bob stepped into stardom with his first picture, "Rhapsody in Blue." A product of burlesque, Bob was signed like hundreds of others each year, but, unlike others, he wasn't asked to sit around--he was put to work. Now, after a big buildup as a newcomer playing George Gershwin, he'll probably be seen first in "Cinderella Jones." Eleanor Parker might be just another pretty girl. Certainly the Cleveland, Ohio, youngster is pretty enough. But her first part was that of Joseph P. Davies' daughter in "Mission to Moscow." Eleanoi clicked, so in her next--"Between Two Worlds"--she got the. feminine lead opposite Paul HenreM, They'll Beat Watching Dane Clark tried out at a couple of other studios before reporting to Warners, where he was shoved into "Action in the North Atlantic" with Humphrey Bogart. He's just finished "The Very Thought of You," and un less he does a part for Uncle Sam instead is definitely on his way in pictures. Other studios that take time to develop young players are Metro and Paramount. Marjorie Reardon came to prominence in "Stage Door Canteen" along with other youngsters. Ditto Elizabeth Taylor, who'll surprise you in "National Velvet." Diana Lynn gets star-billing in "Out Hearts Were Young and Gpy." And look what's happened in one year to Sonny Tufts. Yep, star dust keeps clouding up our way, and we just keep on rolling along. He'* a Deserving Boy Freddie Bartholomew, who's do ing a Shirley Temple--meaning he's just as good grown-up as he was a child actor--is under term contract to P.R.C. . . . Minna Gombell, after playing meanies for years, went goodie in "Sight Life" for Universal. (I don't mean "gooey.") . . Jimmy McHugh is proud over the! success of little June Allyson. He predicted she'd be a star. Dick PoweU also shares Jimmy 's enthusiasm. V Axis Fuel Source Rumania--Europe's leading oil producer after the Soviet Union-- has been the chief source of natural oil used to power Axis planes, tanks and submarines, to keep its vast civilian and military transport systems going. The only other supplies found in Axis or Axis-controlled territory are relatively minor fields in Germany itself, in Alsace, Austria, and Hungary, plus the wells in Soviet-threatened Poland, ia Allied-shadowed Albania. .'t~J Back Beauty. Daring Che summer when we are wearing swim suits, play suits and the new bare-back dresses, we want to be sum «ur backs look their prettiest. To achieve back-beauty start -with a thorough daily cleansing. Use a long-handled brush and plenty of soap and warm water -- and really scrub. Scrub your entire back. The motion of the brush nelps remove impurities, from the .pores, and brings the blood to the surface. Rinse off the soapy lather, then splash yourself all over with chilled good quality witch haxel and give your body a brisk rub dowa with the palms of your hands. This helps close the pores and aids ia avoiding colds that result in changing temperatures. For a beautiful back, posture is of the utmost importance. Keep your shoulders back and the body straight whether you are walking, doing household chores or working in an office. Nylon Bristles Nylon bristles are utilized by the food mdustry principally for brushes in dairying, beverage bottle washing and pipe cleaning, in bakeries, on candy machines, for flour sifting, fruit cleaning, the cleaning of sausage casings, and for pharmaceutical or laboratory uses.
