FLYING PINWHEEL
—
The new “flying bicycle’’ un
veiled by the Army Air Forces
last week embodies a startling
innovation. Ordinary helicopters
require a large power plant which
delivers its energy to the hub of
the blades, or rotors. This 310
pound. two-rotor machine has
small jet engines which are at
tached to the tins of the blades.
It functions like a pinwheel.
The new engine probably is an
adaption of the power unit used
in the German V-l flying bomb.
This was a small tube equipped;
with an air valve nd a spark
plug which used the intermittent
jet principle. An engine not much
larger than t e exhaust pipe of an
ordinary airplane could t.eliver
75 horsepower.
As a military vehicle, the new
aircraft will serw as a simple
aerial observation post. Its val
ue to civilians remains to be seen,
but if the two little wing-tip jets
make half as much O' a Dopping
roar as one of those German
WOnes. the thi.ig may remain a
ooisy horror for some time to
?ome. — Richmond (Va.) News
Leader.

FRANCE WANTS BOOK;
COST IS TOO HIGH
PARIS (U.R)—A “dollar curtain”
is keeping American books and
publications out of France at a
time when interest in the United
States is at a peak here.
A new regulation forbids the
purchase of all such publica
tions because of the dollar
shortage. Booksellers, educa
tional institutions, profession
al men, and even the govern
ment ministries are hard hit.
Interest in American techni
cal subjects is particularly high,
since because of the war the
French have not kept abreast of
many scientific and medical de
velopments.
Some 500 French students
who signed up for a course in
American literature at the Uni
versity of Paris are wondering
how they will do their requird
reading. The course calls for
novels of which only a few
copies exist in all Paris.

FORT YATES. N. D. <U.B—
Teaching the geographical loca
tion of cities in North Dakota
is no snap, in the opinion of
Ruth Mortensen. grade school
supervisor at the Fort Yates In
dian agency.
She says even teachers *et
confused.
“Take the city of Cavalier, for
instance." she said.
Cavalier is not the county seat
of Cavalier County, as one
would assume. Instead it's the
county seat of Pembina County
and Pembina is "just another
town "
Likewise. Steele is not
the county seat of McHenry
County — nearly distant county
of Kidder.
Then there's Towner. the
county seat of McHenry
County — nearly 75 miles from
Towner County; McKenzie in
Burleigh County — nearly 75
miles from Towner County; and
Hettinger, county seat of Adams
County, which adjoins the coun
ty of Hettinger.
