Stratosphere
Plane May Be Smashed
To Atoms
BY ELEMENTAL FORCES
Burbank, Cal.,
The United States Array's new stratosphere "Laboratory" plane inay be smashed to pieces by an elemental bombardment of metastable nitro- gen, a university scientist warned as the ship was secretly groomed for a text fight six miles above the earth. Dr. Joseph Kaplan, Associate Professor of Physics at University of California at Los Angeles, revealed his theory to the aviation world, "not in an hysterical sense-but just a possibility." He bases his obser- vation upon violent chemical rene- tions to modern nir-plane metals in the stratosphere.
The new plane, built at the Lock-
here
under heed Aircraft factory armed guard, is of special construc- tion, with super-charged enginca to maintain and a cabin designed constant internal pressure and with- stand temperature expansion and contraction above the six miles level,
FIRST TRIAL
It received its first trfal at normal heights. But when the ship climbs above the regulation celling, Dr. Kaplan believes the metastable nitro- gen may cause serious damage.
"Our experiments in investigating high altitudes indicate that in the stratosphere a high content of metastable nitrogen may be found and that it might set up a violent chemical reaction that would be seriously damaging to present-day

know what the

airplane Duralumin might be, but we do know that metastable nitrogen, which has an enormous amount of energy in it, with releases its energy in contact aluminium."
The extent to which the nitrogen may be found and, hence, the seriousness of its potential threat to stratosphere fights, was not de- feymined by Dr. Kaplan. Ho reveal- rd, however, that laboratory tests have uncovered "plenty of 12" in RHW higher altitudes, where radio and aurora effects are active.
This area is estimated at between. 90 and 150 miles above the earth's surface.
"As fights in the true statosphere, above the sub-stratosphere, become nore assured, the aircraft Industry will do well to intensively study reaction of metals under laboratory conditions that are possible to repro- the effects," high-altitude Physicist warned.

STRATOSPHERE ANALYSIS
He explained that already, he has under way an analytical study of upper altitudes, made possible by a of the Inboratory reproduction

"Strange, but true, we know more about the atmosphere above the 40-mile mark than we do below that point. Little actually happens above it, but many, many complications develop between 10 and 40 miles above the ground. For this reason, study is advisable," Dr. Kaplan sald. lie hopes to complete the present phase of his work in time to report" it before the American Association for Advancement of Science Denver in June,

The new army ship has been ton- atructed secretly for more than a year. Armed guards have been. ordered the shoot cameras out photographers' hands and "ask ques- Ilons afterward." The War Depart- ment recently announced it would be used at altitudes of "25,000 feet or more," where a crew of six will study technical and physiological problems involved in sub-stratosphere fying. After a series of tests here it will be taken to Wright Field, Ohio, for service-United Press.
HEAT HUMIDITY HEADACHES
Do
AND
ON'T let Headaches lower your powers of resistance. Two or three 'ASPRO' Tablets, taken with a drink of water, will banish most Head- aches in a few minutes. It's a mistake to think that because it's hot and humid you must endure a Headache. Even the most healthy suffer at times; heat, sun-glare, humidity and sleeplessness all belp to reduce physical resis- tance, with the result that a Headache attacks you. 'ASPRO' will quickly clean it up before it has time to sap your vitality, make you listless, irritable, nervy and out of sorts. 'ASPRO' relieves in a perfectly soothing way, and is not harmful, because it is a pure medicine, containing no questionable or dangerous antidotes. Keep 'ASPRO' in the house to check Colds; Influenza. Rheumatism, Dengue, Neuritis, etc. It is safe insurance against everyday, summer ills; it gives quick, certain relief and does not harm the heart.
