As the size of American aircraft
has increased, the hangar space to
handle these huge birds has cor

the Douglas Aircraft Corporation,
one of the leaders in large plane

it considers the world's largest air
plane hangar.
This giant hangar which meas

stretches from a point 40 fpet all

The giant doorway of the han

Omple clearance is provided for
he gigantic "DC3's,” largest of the
rasports yet designed, which
ipread 95 feet from red to green
iring-lights. Within two years, even

[40-foot wing-spread now being
milt under orders of a pool of five
najor airlines. This latter craft is
0 feet wider and five feet longer,
15 feet, than the present China
Clippers.
This steel and concrete hangar is
technically known as the three
linge arch type, commonly em
ployed in railroad sheds. Its step
ped skylights provide sunlight so
ong as it is shining. During the
sinter, resistance coils embedded
n the floor warm the hangar.

‘Incurable” Says
Expert Of Men
f — ‘\r. too 'snodVNViaNi
ew weeks ago John Erskine com
>osed a diatribe—"The Influence of
Vomen and Its Cure” — in which
le viewed with alarm the effects of
the gentler sex" upon the world.
Now Eudora Ramsay Richardson,
author and lecturer, has “had the
ast say” in her latest book, "The
Influence of Men—Incurable,” pub
ished by Bobbs-Merrill.
“Man as an individual is a very
ovable creature,” she says. "But i
nan in the group—in politics, in j
msiness, in organizations of all ;
;orts—dominant, astertive, egotis
,lcal, illogical, has exerted an ln
luence that would have wrecked
ivilization had women of other
lays not been able to deal with
lim swiftly, subtly, effectively."
She attributes to male influence
nost of the world's evils, such as
iepressions and wars, although she
;oncede6 that “only a few men
vere responsible for all o< the
ragedy.”
Mrs. Richardson denies that
“men have always been the pro
lucers, the provider?, the oaks for
tinging parasites.”
"Anthropologist? are agreed that
vomen were the first agriculturist
ind invented the first farm lmple
nents; that they were the first
carpenters; and that women bo
tan all the arts and skills that
iow make up modern industry,'
insists Mrs. Richardson. "The plain,
mvamlshed truth is tliat some
roman originated every trade, oc
■upation, or profession at which
nen are working today.”
She says the trouble all started
rhen men took over world affairs.
Good Pictures
Can Be Bought
Much Cheaper
By MARY DAVIS GILLIES
Prepared by McCall's Magazine for
The Cleveland Star.
And now we’re tired of the
cheap print of "Hope" or "The End
of the Road”—jtist as we became
dissatisfied with the colored en
largement of grandfather and, be
fore that, the calendar picture.
Sofne of us stopped having any
pictures, because we wanted ori
ginals and they cost too much.
Now we can have what we want
—real original etchings, woodcuts
and lithographs by leading artists
like Rockwell Kent, Miguel Covar
rubias and Wanda Gag. And at
the price of a book—only »2.75.
Do you like your art old-fash
ioned? Or do you prefer the mod
ern school, the realistic or the ab
stract? Or perhaps you are one of
those rare souls v:ho thinks that
only surrealism la smart. What
cver your taste, there is at least
one picture to pleRse it.
There are pictures for every room
—scenes for the living room or
pictures of cats, flowers and hors
es which express the owner's hob
by. For the boy's room, there are
boat pictures, "Wild Horses," by
Frank Mechau, Jr., "Oil Country,”
by Louis Lozowlck, or Benton
Spruance’s football lithograph, "A
Short Gain.” Girls will like Raph
ael Sayers’ "Dancers Resting.”
While "Run-aways,” by Nura is
charming for the children's room.
Children will gain most, perhaps,
from this new home picture de
velopment. They can gain a knowl
edge and appreciation of American
art by living with it which they
can never get from school or mu
seum. Of many origins and from
every part of the country, each ar
tist bring* a very definite contrib
ution to art understanding.
The average house does not have
to limit itself to one or two pic
tures—they are so cheap that they
may be changed fi’bm time to
time. They are so interesting they
need only simple frames.
“Lincoln Letter”
About Rome Said
To Be A Fake
ROME, Oct. 21. — A much-dis
puted letter In which Abraham
Lincoln supposedly envisaged Rome
as the eagltal of "The United
States of Europe" was labeled a
fake yesterday.
In the letter, purported to have
been written in 1853 to a lieuten
ant of Giuseppe Mazzlnl Italian
liberator, Lincoln was supposed to
have approved Italian territorial
expansion.
Henry Purst, a writer of New
York, told a national convention of
experts on Americana the letter
was not authentic.
Mr. Purst substantiated the op
inion of Prof. Matteo Bertoll of
the University of Turin, who de
clared the letter was spurious for
a variety of reasons.
They agreed the florid, rambling
style of the message was incom
patible with Lincoln’s terse mat
ter-of-fact manner.
Their most damaging evidence
was the letter’s reference to "Vene
zia Giulia." a province which did
not come into existence until 1860,
seven years after the date of the
message.
They pointed out also that the
original has been persistently
withheld from scholars.
Mr. Purst was warmly applaud
ed when he told the assemblage he
wished “to lay the ghost of this old
fraud once and for all.”
The letter, dated from Spring
field. HI., before Lincoln became
President was published first by
the Historical Society of the Ital
ian Renaissance in 1921 with the
consent of the Italian Govern
ment.
Tire Production
Is Moving Upward
AKRON, Ohio.—Tire production
in 1936 is estimated to reach a to
tal of 82,000,000 units, the largest
output since 1930, according, to P.
W. Iitchljeld, president of the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. con
sumption of crude rubber this year,
he predicted, would probably be
greater than in any previous year,
even that of 1939.
"Approximately 29.000 000 tires
will be purchased for motor vehi
cles already In operation In this
country." Mr. Litchfield stated,
“while probably 32.000.000 units will
be needed as original equipment
by automobile and farm-imple
ment manufacturers. The total vo
lume of export business is estimat
ed at 1,300,000 units. In addition to
those manufactured a'oroad by
American companies with foreign
plants.
An important factor leading to
this record consumption Is the in
creasing amount of freight moved
by auto truck and the resulting
demand for pneumatic truck tlree.

Economic Scarcity Theory
Not Necessarily Constant
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.—The theory ,
of the "economics of scarcity” up- ;
on which crop reduction programs
are built is being attacked here
with statistics.
Big crops don’t result in low ■
prices nor do small crops insure ;
high ones, at least not wheat, corn, j
and oats crops, declaress Hsomer j
B. Orommon, Illinois, farmer, who :
has presented figures covering 26
years of prices for these grains In
the United States in an attempt to
prove his claim. His analysis is be- ;
ing given out by the Transporta
tion Association of America, of j
whose committee on transportation
and marketing he is chairman.
Thus, while both political par
ties are offering solutions for
farm surplus problems, an effort is
being made here to disprove the
economic assumptions which un
derlie all crop-limitation plans.
Not Such a Simple Law
The fact of' the matter Is, ac
cording to statisticians here, that
the law of supply and demand Is
not so simple as the layman sup
poses. Its effects can be modified
or even nullified by other factors
if they happen to come Into play
at the same time. But to what ex
tent these other factors Influence
crop prices Is debatable. Mr.
Grommon’s figures appear to show
that when grain is plentiful It
brings big prices, and when
scarce, small ones, quite in con
tradiction to the economic law.
It is not difficult to find a chal
lenge to Mr. Grommon’s conten
tion. The American Farm Bureau
Federation, a leading organisation
of farmers long devoted to crop
control as a means of farm relief,
put forward one In Its current
news letter. It questions the re
liability of some of Mr. Grom
mon’s comparative figures, and ar
gues that factors other than the
mere size of the crop have affect
ed prices.

President’s Campaign Tactics
Labeled ‘Too Slick’ by G.O. P
BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON — Speech** of
" President Roosevelt in the
campaign may not be changing
any vote*, but tha rank and file
of the Democratic party is
mighty happy about them.
After the Syracuse speech, de
nouncing Communism, the Dem
ocratic buck privates, corporals,
and captains ran around patting
one another on the back and say
ing Roosevelt had made the gosh
darndest political speech of all
time.
They weren’t so sure what the
reaction would be to the presi
dent's repudiation of Communist
supporters, but they assured
themselves that, with Roosevelt's
speech-making ability on their
side, it wouldn’t be necessary to
count the ballots.
To offset the effect of Roose
velt’s campaign, the Republicans
—who scoffed at Democratic
"over-confidence" — are depend
ing on propaganda Intended to
convince the voting public that
the president as a candidate is a
political slicker. They point to
what they describe as "slippery
scoops.”
• • •
fUST before the Republican
" convention was to come out
with a strong civil service plank,
the president ordered thousands
of additional postmasters under
civil service.
Anticipating that Republicans
would concentrate their cam
paign attack on high taxes and
national debt, the president sum
moned Senator Pat Harrison
from his Mississippi campaign
to assure the nation that there
would be no need of new taxee
at the next session.
After Governor Landon had
been billed for a speech m Cnsu
tauqua, N. Y., Roosevelt took tba
•ama platform aoma daya in ad
vance to make a fighting tddram
for world peace. Whan rather
Coughlin was giving his show In
Cleveland, Rooaavalt suddenly
showed up there and draw •
large part of the audience to his
tent
The White House Issued what
many consider an Ill-advised
blast at Hearst Just before that
publisher was to launch a new
journalistic "Red" attack on the
administration.
• e e
'T'HK Republicans blame soma
1 Democratic spies In camp for
letting Roosevelt know that
Landon’s Des Moines speech was
to take up crop insurance. Aiw
way, the president said his piece
on the same subject In time to
beat Landon to It
A1 Smith’s avowed bittern gas
was sharpened not a little1 when
he hired radio time for his
speech and found subsequently
that Roosevelt would have the
same time on another hookup.
Finally, there was Secretary
Morgenthau’s effort to make It
appear that he had blocked a
Russian raid against the *n*w
Franco - British - American • cur
rency stabilisation agreement—
which many othara beside* Re
publican* tend to regard, eg ab
surd and as an attempt to com
bat ths “Red" charges.
Republican campaign 'skate
gists hope these things may con
vince the voters that Roosevelt Is
just s bit too slick, as «xn
pared with that “honest, simple
exponent of old - fashioned
Americanism, Alf Landon.”
