Projectiles To Cross Atlantic | German Plan To Use Rockets For Half-Hour Trans-Atlantic Mall Service Half-hour trans-Atlantic mail ser- vice, with commercial rockets as the ‘carriers, That was the prediction discussed by G. EB. Pendray, vice-president of the American Interplanetary Society, who has just returned after confer- ences In Germany with leaders of a similar society. He said German scientists predict that in two years rockets powered by liquid fuel will fly across the ocean. “When I left Germany a few weeks ago plans were completed for sending up the newest type rocket by liquid fuel,” said Mr. Pendray. “German scientists working secretly on the rocket seem to have solved the basic problem of sending rockets soaring | for miles into the sky by liquid pow- er. Our trouble here has been that the dry fuel now used does not yield sufficient power for the long flight.” The first rocket to go up, according to the plans learned by Mr. Pendray, will be gauged for an ascent of two miles. It will carry a barometer, a camera, and a parachute adjusted to open automatically when the rocket reachest its greatest altitude. “The Germans have already chart- ed the course from a field in Germany to a field ‘in the vicinity of New York where the projectiles will land,” said Mr. Pendray. “A parachute will be used for the landing. The same rock- et will then be shot back across the Atlantic over another course with a different cargo.” British Rule In India | CHOCOLATE MALTED MILK | Aviators Face Danger | In In High Altitudes} No Place For Human Beings says| U.S. Navy Climber Grim perils lurk for those adyen- turers who aspire to the blue vault of the heavens, “Humans don't belong up here,” wrote the U.S. navy climber, Lieuten- ant Apollo Soucek, when his ar went numb and his goggles frosted over at 3,000 feet—still on the way up.

The eyes freeze in the intense cold. The metal parts of the ‘plane warp and jam. The engine sputters, gasps for air. The wind that sweeps around the world tosses the ’plane like a mote. But gravest of all is the heavy weariness of the body and spirit that comes with the rarefying air. A lethal drowsiness palsies the hand of the pilot, sweeps consciousness from his brain.

You ought not to stay alone in this old house. Mrs. Maxwell wants you to bring the ba- bies and come to us. It will seem good to have some of the empty rooms in use. That's the worst of a big family, Gay. The children leave such a hole when they fly away.” Gay lifted eyes that were very bright. “That's beautiful of you both; but really, there’s no place like home when one doesn't feel quite well. Per- haps Uncle Sim would come and stay with me. I'm sure he would; and he's @ real help with the children.” He's getting old, Gay. Wouldn't he add to your cares?” “Not a bit. Besides, his unfailing good spirits are a tonic. Mrs. Maxwell will understand, I know. It’s hard visiting with babies—even such dear friends as you. I'll write Uncle Sim today.” “Well,” said John Maxwell, rising, “you must do what makes you hap- piest, my dear. But our house is al- ways open to you and yours. You won't forget that?” *T shall never forget any of your And ten days later—a cold, raw first of March,—armed with a suit- case, innumerable snapshots of his wife and babies, and his old, boyish (desire to “conquer the universe,’ Nick stood-on the deck of the big, white fruit steamer, and watched the Statue of Liberty drop behind the horizon. “I wonder,” he mused aloud, “I |can't help wondering, what adven- tures I'll live through before I see the good old U.S.A. again.

Angela Halliday was alone, bound for Port Antonio where she was to join the Myers. Nick also be- ing alone, it was not unnatural that the greater part- of their time was spent together. Both were good sailors, and on the days when most of the passengers. were in their berths, they enjoyed a “solitude a deux” in which their friendship ripen- ed quickly.

Yet in a recent week, former members of the C.E.F. related to the Reparations Commission, sitting in Toronto, harrrowing tales of barbar- ities inflicted upon them by guards in German prison camps. Unarmed Canadians were knocked about with rifle butts, forced to labor in the foul air of salt mines, had their teeth knocked out by brutal blows, were cut with bayonets, or hung by the wrists against a heated coke oven. There is no reason to doubt the truth of these stories told by men who bear the scars of their experiences.
