Attacked and denounced as scarce

incident at the Belgian Pavilion at
the world’s fair the other evening—
or at least for a few minutes it
looked as if it might. A young wom
an and a yoirng man were quietly
enjoying their dinner when the
young woman accidentally upset the
salt shaker. Having heard since
childhood that spilled salt meant a
fight, she picked up the shaker and
shook it over her left shoulder three
times. Then believing ill fortune
averted, she was about to resume
eating when the waiter rushed up.
He made a most careful inspection
of the salt shaker and apparently
finding H intact inquired most cour
teously as to what was wrong. The
young woman told him that every
thing was all right. But the waiter
persisted and1 so she explained about
spilled salt. The waiter shook his
head sadly and went away.
• • •
When he came back, he had a cap
tain with him. The captain made
some courteous inquiries and re
ceived an explanation. He asked
that it be repeated slowly. That was
done. With a puzzled look on his
face, he went away and came back
with a head waiter. The young
woman, no end abashed because so
much attention was being attract
ed, explained very carefully that it
was an American belief if salt were
spilled the only way to avoid a fight
was to throw some over the left
shoulder.
• • •
Then the head waiter, with defer
ence in voice and manner, inquired,
“But with whom does mademoiselle
desire to fight?”
“No one!” all but shouted the
young woman almost driven to des
peration by the fact that the eyes of
all diners were directed toward her
table. "No one in the world.”
“That is good,” returned the'head
waiter and departed with the cap
tain.
• • •
From then on, all might have been
peace if it hadn’t been for the young
man. Everyone was looking at the
young couple as if they were crazy,
he averred. The only thing to do
was to pay the check, skip the
rest of the meal and get out fast.
But getting out wasn’t so easy. Ev
eryone from the head waiter on
down seemed to take their decision
as an affront. So, in English and
French, there was more argument—
and more stares. The couple finally
escaped. But never more will the
young woman throw salt over her
shoulder. It didn’t prevent a fight
—she and the young man battled
all the rest of the evening and
haven’t spoken since.

Speaking of international matters
there is that “puzzle” which is sell
ing heavily on the lower East Side,
up in the Bronx, and on Broadway.
The price is a nickel straight on
the East Side and in the Bronx but
on Broadway some of the venders
ask a nickel for two. Nevertheless,
the Bronx and East Side sales are
the heaviest, the demand being so
great it is difficult in some instances
to replenish stocks. The puzzle is
simple—merely four pigs printed on
a piece of paper along with direc
tions as to how to fold the paper to
make a fifth—and when the paper
is folded correctly, there is a pic
ture of Hitler.

Getting away from the interna
tional, what is perhaps one of the
shortest police-escorted trips on rec
ord is now being given the comedi
ans, Abbott and Costello, every Fri
day night. On that evening, they
have a broadcast at the CBS Play
house on Forty-fifth street at 8:49
p. m. To get there is a simple mat
ter. But their first scene in “The
Streets of Paris” also comes at
8:49 p. m. So “The Streets of Par
is” producers, already having held
the curtain 10 minutes, take no
chances on further delay. After the
broadcast, Abbott and Costello are
police escorted with all possible
haste to the Broadhurst theater—
which is the very next block.

Destructive Twins Mpst
Important Wsnpons in f:
Modem Waif are.
WASHINGTON. — Aerial _ 1
and sea min— two oftbe mostpo
tent scourges during die World
—are an even more important
tary factor now, in the view ef
tary experts here.
The use of bombs by the.Qenpan
air force played a dominant role
in die swift conquest of Poland.
Great Britain and -France are de
pending on mines aa a vital part of
their strategy to stretch a sea blqck
ade that will bring about the eco
nomic collapse -of Germany.
In both weapons world powers
have made major strides in devel
opment since the World war. Ex
perts believe. that prolongation of
the present conflict will add still
further to their perfection aa agents
of death and destaictian.
Two Types ef Bembs Used.
High-speed, multiengined bombing
planes, for example, now carry
loads of huge demolition bombs to
taling from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds
on long-range flying missions de
signed to cripple strategic centers
or industries.
Broadly speaking, military pow
ers employ two types of bombs in
modem warfare—demolition and
fragmentation. The demolition
bombs, filled with TNT, are de
signed to destroy property and mili
tary objectives such as factories,
air bases, railroad stations and
forts.
They are usually equipped with
time fuses so that after being
dropped they can penetrate before
exploding, thus insuring greater de
struction. Some are find so that
they explode on impact with an ob
ject. Sizes at these bomba, which
are guided to their destination by
so-called “fins” similar to the
feather on an arrow, range from 25
pounds to 2,000.
A 2,000-pound bomb, experts be
lieve, has sufficient demolition pow
er to accomplish terrific damage.
Principles and sizes of bombs used
by the leading powers are broadly
the same. The United States army
air corps, for example, uses demoli
tion missiles of 25, 50, 100, 200, 000,
1,100 and 2,000 pounds.
Explode on Impact.
The fragmentation bombs, which
are similar to an artillery shell, are
usually much smaller. They are de
signed to explode on impact with
the ground, hurl splinters over wide
areas, and are usually employed
only in raids on personnel such as
troop concentrations.
The size of the bomb load depends
on the lifting power of a plana. One
of the United States army’a huge,
four-motored "flying fortresses" last
August lifted an 11,000-pound load
to 33,000 feet, inasmuch as it was
not carrying gasoline for a long
flight, the load would be less in
case it were assigned to a distant
mission. Smaller aircraft carry pro
portionately lesser loads.
Like aerial bombs, construction
of marine mines by different nation*
follow somewhat similar patterns.
The mines, usually loaded with
several hundred pounds of high ex
plosives, are designed, to sink even!
heavily armored waiuhips. Thus,,
their explosive effect on merchant
ships usually causes destruction in
event of contact.

Toy Railroad, 25
Years Old, Razed
Pioneer in Hobby That Hn*
Swept the Country.
WASHINGTON.—A pioneer Ame>
lean railroad haa been discontinued,
but it was done quietly, without the
intervention ot die interstate com*
merce commission.
Arthur P. Gambrill, chief elec
trician at the government printing
office, moved and took with him'the
miniature railroad he built 25 years
ago as a pioneering step in a hobby
that has swept the country.
Christened the Maryland Central
railroad, Gambrill’s toy operated on
a 200-foot circular track in the side
yard of his home at near-by Hyatts
vilie, Md. It had almost become a
landmark since Gambrill built it a
quarter of a century ago.
The first locomotive used on the
“Maryland Central,” a mechanical
one powered by a vacuum cleaner
motor, has been replaced by a 42
inch “Iron Mogul” that pulls cars
9% inches high and 38 inches long.
The remainder of the rolling stock
consists of ^baggage car, caboose,
box car, motor car, passenger car,
two steel flat cars and a trailer
coach.
As Gambrill, a former railroad
man, dismantled the road, he re
counted the difficulties that attend
ed the growth of the hobby.
“Model train building has become
quite a pastime now, but when I
started it was a new thing. It was
almost impossible to get the ac
cessories. My locomotive was a
mechanical engine. I installed a
vacuum cleaner motor in it. The
tracks are made of Parker rail,
which was used extensively once for
cornice work in plastering. I had to
have the wheels cast and I had to
go to Frederick to have it done.
Most places wouldn’t bother with
such small work.”
Now all the cars have automatic
couplings, springs and hand brakes,
and the motor car is powered by two
50-volt motors. j
