NEW INVENTION
Navy Lieut Finds
Simple Process to
Remove Sodium Salts
The shipwrecked seaman
drifting on the high seas with
enly a plank or raft between
him and Davy Jones' locker and
dying of thirst need no longer
cry: "Water water every-
where but-not a drop to drink"
A simple and effective method
et making sca water safe to
drink has been perfected at the
Naval Medical Research insti-
tute Bethesda Maryland and
will soon go on trial under actual
emergency conditions
The new method of chemical de-
salination announced by Rear Adm
Ross T
- tire surgeon gen-t-eral
of the navy
appears to be a
'"j:! more practicable
ses method of pro-
ducing potable
- - water than any
L :AL: yet devised other
Claire R than distillation
It was developed
Sszalman
primarily for use
on rubber life rafts carried on
aircraft where the carrying Of large
quantities of fresh water is imprac-
ticable Equipment consists of two chemi-
cal compounds W hich are com-
pressed to bar-of-soap size and four
plastic bags The latter when not
in use are rolled to conserve stow-
age space Each has a capacity of
slightly more than a quart
The development of a method that
would enable a weakened or wound-
ed man adrift on a rubber raft to
produce drinking water—easily and
without assistance—has challenged
scientists for years Another
"must" heretofore unattained is
that the water shall be not only
saltless but lacking in any chemical
or other substance that would harm
the drinker Still another problem
that had to be solved was space
economy Stowage of bulky equip-
ment in a small rubber raft is ob-
viously impracticable
In the newly devised method II
parts of water have been obtained
to every part of chemical The
process has a potential of 17 to 1 but
this favorable output cannot be ex-
meted to be achieved on a raft at
the mercy of the elements when a
certain amount of loss is unavoid-
able The use of all four of the plastic
bags which may be worn by a cord
around the neck is recommended
but the desalination may be carried
out with only two if necessary
provided each contains a filter sack
how It 1orks
The survivor dissolves one of the
chemical compounds in sea water
contained in one of the bags and
several elements in the water are
precipitated out of solution Next
he pours the mixture into another
bag that contains a filter sack
The product now Is saltless but
still too alkaline to be drinkable
with safety It is emptied Into the
third bag and Step No I is repeated
except that the second chemical is
used After the chemical has been
dispersed by kneading and agita-
tion the water is filtered in the
fourth bag
The next step is the survivor's
parched throat
Two of the four steps are elimi-
nated if only two bags are used In
this case one container serves for 1
dispersion and filtration of each
chemical compound
The bags a:1 resistant to sea-water
corrosion and can stand temper-
atures up to 167 degrees Fahren-

One hundred years ago (this
month) in the now Nazi-infested city
of Bergen in Norway was born a

pictures of a free nation serve as
an inspiration not only to enslaved
Norwegians suffering under the Hit-
ler heel but to Norwegian-Americans
and to all others who are fIght-

MIRACLES OF MECHANICS
Minor miracles of mechanics are
almost commonplace in this me-
chanical war There is nothing un-
usual about sending back to the
fighting front a complete functioning
airplane motor put together from
two or three wrecked and out-ofaction
engines
Such jobs are run-of-the-mine
work for the army air forces'
mechanics They are the result of
''know-how' and the ''know how"
comes from such sound training as
is given the soldier-studont in the
Advanced Power Plant course of the
Army Air Forces Teclnical Train-

Here are some Possibilities:
1 Single Runner No Equipment
Walking forwards
Walking backwards
Hopping
Skipping
Sliding
Lame Duck—limping
Heel to toe
All fours—walking on hands and
feet knees may be bent
Elephant Walk—as in all fours
but knees and arms must be
straight
Crab—all fours but with back
toward floor and face toward ceiling
Crooked walk—weight on left foot
swing right foot around behind left
and forward and put weight on it
Continue by swinging left toot
around behind right Coal should
not be very far away run back
Automobile—Six players No 1 is
steering gear walks zigzag No 2

' more than the most necessary and
elemental repairs
"Second echelon" work is more
complicated and implies use of mo-
bile machinery and more elaborate
and specialized tools
The days of this advanced course
are studded with fast activity At
the very start students tear down
engines and put them together again
Two or more students stand before
each unit of a long line of different
kinds of engines Each group takes
down its own engine but when a
particular grout) reaches a point at
which their type of engine has points
of special interest all gather around
and hear and see the points ex-
plained Then comes the final phase in
which the work is done for which
the men are being specifically
trained They remove both air and
iquid cooled engines from air-
planes set thern up on specially de-
signed dollies on which they may be
moved readily about in the course of
work They remove the generators
pumps and other attachments and
pass on the basic engine itself for
expert overhaul at the hands of oth-
ers Then while the engine itself is
being overhauled the power plant
men are overhauling the acces-
sories ready to reassemble thorn
with the engina when all are ready
Then they re-install the whole power
plant unit in the plane itself
With all this goes a thorough train-
! ! mg in inspection methods and
ground testing Of all types of engines
The vast facilities of the army
schools with engines of every type
in military use afford the widest
possible experience for the trainees

their share of responsibility for the welfare of their country in
war and peace Thus the roots of the Women's Army Auxiliary
Corps go back to the origin of this nation These girls will learn
radio code operation radio repair teletypewriter operation
switchboard installation and the operation and maintenance of
many other instruments of communication Many other WAAC
schools teach a wide variety of jobs and occupations that prepare
the girls to serve their nation at war and provide experience that
will aid them in the postwar world
