The new bomber which the enemy is now producing is a High Speed Craft and is known As the ju88. It has so far not made Many appearances Over England but is expected to play a part in the attack on British shipping which is now i look for the next two months to see some vicious fighting with British boats the targets of Many hostile aircraft.

Maximum Speed is about 315 . Which is High for a bomber. Cruising at about 265 . The ju.88 would have a Range of approximately Miles which is less than half that of the British Wellington. No Tail guns the ju.88 carries a Crew of three or four and was designed with three gun positions. One is in the nose and one above and one below the fuselage but there is no Tail gun. Although the germans May now be attempting to increase the armament As a result of the lessons Learned in their encounters with British fighters it is not Likely that the design of the ju.88 would per Mit of the installation of Tail guns.

And meetings to discuss the proposal were held at 12 Points along the railway Branch line a year ago. In the judgment of the Traus sort commission the Paramount consideration was the inconvenience accruing to shippers in the area affected. Evidence showed that i he line were closed the average increased distance for shipper would be six Miles running to 1 or 20 Miles in some cases. If the line were abandoned the the children were playing at the Edge of the River near a sewer out let where the River bed had not Frozen Over. One of them saw a piece of paper in the water.

Sir John Simon said that the British government intends _ control the Cost of living.

Men and events go on griddle with an attendance of 350 Mem Bera and friends the Winnipeg press club staged its seventh annual Beer and skits entertainment at the fort Garry hotel saturday evening few topics parties or current events escaped the Grill. With the wars raging in Europe and the Federal election Campaign Well under Way Here the club Talent with numerous auxiliaries found plenty of material for the Bill of fare. Candidates and policies were put on the Gridiron and roasted to a turn. Contributing largely to the in judgment continued practically a produce would be delivered to the 2.p.r.

The judg ment was signal by j. A Stoneman commissioner. Save him but also Mell into water. Seeing the children struggling in the water Younker grasped a near by crawled to the Edge of the open water and with the assistance of the other two youths pulled the children to safety. Urther increases. We Are very said John of the grave Distad which would be entailed n any excessively marked or Swift advances in prices of primary necessities and we Are anxious to do All that is practicable to avoid this in the Light of the economic position As it the Cost of of living had risen 18 Points Between sept. 1 and nov. 30. Early in. December to prevent a further Rise the government had intervened. Since dec. 1 the Cost of living had remained unchanged except for a slight Rise in february. The Cost to the Treasury was per week. This Money was being spent to keep Down the Price of bread flour meat and milk. The government he said was aware that the alternative to this policy would entail very serious economic dangers this total weekly expenditure is divided As follows wheat milk meat touches wheat subsidy if it Istad not been for the wheat subsidy said sir John the Price of flour would have risen from 25s 6d per sack to 41 shillings and bread from 8 fed to Lod a loaf. A subsidy on Bacon was introduced in the first week of february costing per week. It is Worth noting that the government was severely criticized for not having bought Large supplies of Canadian wheat when the Price was around 70 cents. In the last War the British government spent be ginning in 1917, to keep Down the Price of bread. No subsidies Weru paid in other foodstuffs. The Tenor of the debate indicated that the British government would do its Best to avoid a Rise in the Price of wheat. Certainly after Reading the debate it is difficult to believe that the British govern ment would Euter into an agree ment of the kind suggested by or. Man Ion. Text ailment were George Waight Tommy Tweed Esse Ljungh or. T n Levinson and Jack Mccabe. With Chester Bloom i m still laughing at the stinging wit sprayed Over politicians at the Winnipeg press club s annual show. Beer and skits saturday night at the fort Garry hotel. 1 suppose some of the political victims Are still rubbing the sore spots too. Our party chiefs with injured amour at least can console themselves that the boys played no and tories alike were curried with a pretty stiff comb. Having seen Many of the big american press shows it s Only fair to say that the Winnipeg newspapermen and their obliging theatrical and radio do not suffer in comparison. The Washington Fellows May have More Money for prop and decorative effects my Humble opinion is our Fellows surpass them in both mordant and Rowdy wit. In space such As this it s utterly out of the question to do any Justice to the performers in the 17 different skits which convulsed the audience jamming the big concert Hall. But the take off on Hitler by e w Ljungh pronounced editor of the local swedish paper and his escort of brow shirts seemed to me singularly significant there s something that irresistibly tickles the Anglo Saxon sense of humor in the farce comedy atmosphere which envelops the Mystic of Berchtesgaden nightmarish and deadly As the effluvia May be. It was no pre arrangement that the audience joined wholeheartedly in the mockery of shouting Sieg As the Drums thundered while the trick moustached Little twerp and his escort marched through the halt or. Ljungh out he tiered Hitler in his impassioned oratory if Adolf needs another double he now knows where to find him. I d like to Tell you just How laughable general George was too in lining up the army for Hon. Norman Mel. Inspection but it would t be fair to neglect All the other funny Fellows in the show. You d better come and see the next affair yourself. O a when i m at a loss for an Idle idea in this space i frankly turn to some first class . Column manufacturer. Today i pass along a piece by John o Ren on women with big hats in movie a Mere male it seems too Good to be True i suspect or. O Ren of pulling a very Long Bow. But perhaps some of my feminine Winnipeg readers would write me their opinion on the Point would they react in the same Way the scene was an unnamed movie theatre somewhere in the. States. Directly in front of the first woman in the Case but with one of seats intervening sat another woman with hat ornamented by a huge Bow of ribbon. The Bow hid the View of the first woman. So this lady politely tapped the shoulder of another woman directly in front of her in the intervening Rov a mild Littie woman and asked her if she would mind asking the third woman in front to take Ott not 3at said the mild Little woman and made the request it was summarily turned Down. The first two women conferred and decided usher to do something about it that although there was a Law or a Rule or some Jln. Obligatory for women to take off their hat.
