Clark is The New York Sunday Times, British Flight Cadet invented Jet Engine When, in 1928, Flight Cadet Frank Whittle wrote a thesis about a new kind of airplane engine, he little dreamed that the engine he envisaged would have become a museum piece only twenty-one years later. The amazing- story of \Whittle's revolutionary invention of the jet engine was recently dramatised in a half-hour feature radio program, The producer of the program Stephen Eckarrl, writes: 'This Flight Cadet, who is now Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle, thought, in 1928, that the propeller - driven reciprocating engine could never be developed sufficiently to produce' the speed and attain the height required for the flying of the future. 1-1e thought a1 entirely new kind of propulsion was needed— supplied by a jet of hot air from a gas turbine. 'it was not until 1930 that he was able to persuade an engineering first to undertake the building of this frightening new cyclone of power, 'Every, tie ass afraid it would blow up. Jt did! But they kept at it, just the sante. Then came the war. but development of the turbo- jetwent on in earnest as a war potential. '11y 1941, the first plane powered by a jet engine had left the ground, and this engin,' subsequently went to the U.S.A, as the foundation of their development of jet -driven air- craft. (This historic device has now found its resting place in the Smithsonian institution at Wash- inton,) 'Since 1941, developments of the gas turbine engine in aircraft have fully confirmed Frank \'Ohittle's dreamt. jet -planes proved their worth during the war—they could keep pace with the flying bombs. They have flown faster than the speed of sound. And, already, Brit- ish engineers are flying a jet air- liner capable of crossing from Lon- a \ " fork in six hours. SS, ttllutt fai',t DOWN�... 4P se "Mugs" His Customers -Taking a tip from the old-fashioned barber shop with its shelf of personal shaving mugs, restaurant operator Norman Massing keeps a supply of `personalized coffee cups" for his regular customers. Each cup bears the name or nickname of one of the regulars. Massing is seen serving a personal cup to office worker Rose Marie Nutini, When Will "Mule Train" Finally Balk just about the time that radio sta- tion disk jockeys became fed up with a new popular song the public catches up with it. So it is with "Mule Train," that rousing western song that Tin Pan Alley has loosed upon the world. Having reached the limit of en- durance, a San Francisco radio - easter recently played every record- ing of "Mule Train" he had or could borrow. The presentation last- ed half an hour, with a repetition or two from the versions made by Bing Crosby, Frankie Lane, Tennessee Ernie, and others. Result—listeners who had not heard it often enough were delighted, Doubtless the disk jockey by the Golden Gate is still receiving re- quests for the recordings, If he in turn goes in for busmen's holidays, he can hear the song -done to a thrill- ing turn on the rise -and -shine pro- gram of a Fresno station by a Mexi- can singing in Spanish. Not till the public becomes sated with "Mule Train" go off the air. Remember "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" and "Yes, We Have No Bananas"? They seemed indestruc- ' tible. Perhaps there is some com- pensation for today's more intense bombardment, The punishment is shorter, for the point where a ma- jority are fed up comes quicker. GARAGE GAB In .many small garages, the ser- vicemen identify cars by the names of their owners. When repairs are needed or special services required, this Practice leads to some interest- ing notes in the daybook of orders. For instances: Mrs. Ellis won't start. Give Miss Jackson some alcohol. Two quarts ought to hold her. Something wrong with old man Pitt's wiring.' Mrs, Wyndhanl's fenders bumped. , Nat responsible. Wash Miss Jenkins. Encore A piper had played a selection on his bagpipes at a gathering, not all Scotsmen. He was rewarded with good applause.. The chairman sug- gested an encore. A voice in the audience called, "How about 'Annie Laurie'?" The piper looked surprised and pleased, and said, "Again?" SFART J��fP+jt� p+ SIXBITC• Something new ie liable to be added to the already lengthy list of sports alibis, These, of course, in- clude such gems as the horse that would have been a cinch if the track hadn't turned sloppy; the baseball outfielder would have caught the fly ball in his athletic supporter if the sun hadp't dazzled hint; the golfer who would have holed out in one putt, instead of five, if it hadn't been for a worn' cast; the football team that would have won handily except for the horrible condition of field; and (dozens more you can probably readily call to mind. 5' * * But this new one—and we can hardly wait to see which club use's it first: -relates to hockey. As you no doubt know, the "greatest city on earth" is threatened with a water shortage, in fact is hardly better off in that regard than some places the New Yorkers would scornfully refer to as "hick towns", * * * So now, according to dispatches; the New York Rangers of the Na- tional Hockey League are hoping to save some 150,000 gallons of the city's drinking water by thawing the rink after each game, and stor- ing the fluid for re -use throughout the season. * * * So, as we started to say earlier, we .can hardly wait to see which of the other teams, after dropping a tough game in the metropolis, outs with the alibi "we would of won easy if that stale ice the Rangers use hadn't of slowed us down to a walk."- * * * From a sports writer's standpoint it seems rather a pity that the ONLY TWO—BUT HOMELESS—Milk from Canada reaches this tiny Greek child through the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). The United Nations has appealed to Canada and a score of other countries to help the -sick and hungry children now living in former theatres of war. The postal address "UNICEF, OTTAWA" is accepting funds from Canadians to help buy Canadian food for six million hungry children.

Real Savings on Woolen's Wear: Special Pastel Slip, Lice Trimmed, only $1.59.—Baraboo News -Repub- lic. INSULT The club secretary hurried over when he saw a visiting golfer ad- dressing the ball a few feet in front of the tree. "I'msorry, air," he interrupted, "but in this club we play either from the tee or behind it. Never," be em- phasized with a shudder, "in front of it," The golfer's only move was to re- address his ball. "I must insist," urged the secre Lary. The golfer straightened up and looked hard at his interrupter. "I happen," (le said with dignity, "t0 be playing nay second shot," Gotham water emergency didn't occur a year or so earlier. Then we could all have pointed out that the Rangers could save even more of the aqua -more -or -less -pure by not using any at all, because they could probably play just as good hockey without ice, But seeing that, as of this writing, the New Yorkers aren't doing so badly—or perhaps it's that four of the other five aren't going so hot—a golden opportunity for typriwriter Huggers is lost. et 5 * "The Diss of Death" in Sports— as you are probably aware and as we have no doubt explained before— comes when one of the huge -circula- tion magazines publishes a feature article regarding; some athlete or 'team, immediately prior to such temp or athlete indulging in some "crooshul" struggle. * * * It is rather remarkable, at that, how often such an article will seem to act as a hex, or in more Oxonian English, put a whanuvy 011 the sub- - ject. (You have only to recall The Saturday Evening Post's piece about what Jersey Joe Walcott was going to do. to Joe Louis just befoce their second fight; or, for that mat- ter, a dozen others we might men- tion.) * * * In Colliers a week or so ago Dan Parker, the most consistently amus- ing of all the Continent's sports cobblers for our money, did a swell article entitled "They Whistle While They 'Work", in which he dealt witlt the amazing antics of the top (pro- fessional) basketball referees. k * * And quite a show those babies put on, and no mistake. In fact to our mind their grand -standing an- tics, coupled with their incessant whistle -tooting, had no little to do with sickening the Toronto public with pro basketball in the late and unlamented attempt to popularize it there * * * Anyway, hardly had the issue containing Parker's screed hit the newsstands when the old "ICiss of Death" went into action. Maurice Podoloff, supreme commissioner of the National Basketball Association, issued an edict. And this edict, al- though it saves the aforesaid ref- erees from the ever-present danger of apoplexy and busted arteries, is going to cramp them to about the same extent as—well, as Gene Autry or Roy Rogers would be handi- capped if thewere forced to act without tie 'r horses, * * * "No long,. - ..-crver puts it, "will a Pat heuncdy be free to wax eloquent, to turn a magnificent purple as he shrills 'Hacking) One shot.' No longer will diminutive Phil Fox mince accusingly up to a be- aneakered criminal and thrusting a roguish finger beneath his nose, call a halt to allow the one sinned against to take his rightful place at the free throw line. No longer will Eddie Boyle bring down the fury of the populace as, by prolonged panto- mime, he achieves what a less gifted individual might do uritis a simple blow of the whistle." - 4 '1 The lads can still call fouls to their hearts' content. But—accord- ing to the fiat of Commissioner Polodofl•, "motions of the body, which have been used increasingly and which in some cases belong mord properly to the stage, are to be abandoned immediately. The only speaking to be done by an official when a foul is committed is calling out the number til' the player in- volved." - - Some will try and claim that such a move was long overdue, and com- ing anyway. But most will lay the blame on Dan Parker, and his "Kiss of Death". And, Oh, Daniell 'tow could you? How dare you so fetter the genius of some of the hammiest actors we have seen since the ten - twenty -thirty melodrama went to its long rest? It was cruel, of you, almost fiendish. Personally—well, we feel as though we could almost bear tpp sit through another pro- fessiotfal basketball game again— something we thought could never happen since we disgustedly walked ottt on the last one after the first ten minutes.
