So YOU WANT TO HAVE A Love Affair
by SUSAN NORRIS

THE AERIAL NEMESIS OF SUBMARINES
HUNTING THE UNDERSEA PIRATES
This remarkable photograph depicts clearly the type of small dirigible now being used by the French and British in hunting German submarines. The gas bag is short and stubby when compared to the latest rigid types of Zeppelins, and as a result, great speed is not possible. The car is the same as that used on English battleplanes, modified to an extent which allows slightly greater carrying
capacity.
Wow, that’s quite a name for an electronics company to be saddled with. Still here though, which is something you can’t say for most of the other companies in this issue.
Also, doesn’t that guy look like he could be John Stewart’s dad?
why does Blonder-Tongue offer two new indoor boosters?
Let’s talk straight-from-the-shoulder about indoor boosters. Transistor boosters provide higher gain and are more rugged, but they have one problem — overload (windshield wiper effect, loss of sync, etc.). If you use a transistor booster in an area with one or more strong TV or FM signals — you may be buying too much booster! On the other hand, tubed boosters perform very well in these areas — and what’s more, they cost less.

Can You Live Under the Sea?
A whole new world awaits man under the seas. Not a dream any longer, it is coming closer every day.
BY FLOYD B. McKNIGHT
“SHALL we take the sub-train down to Sea City?” you ask.
“No,” your companion replies, “Let’s take the Aquascender. We’ve been using the sub-train all week!”
You follow the crowd of commuters into the pressurized transparent cabin, much as you would enter an elevator on the top floor of a skyscraper. The door is closed.

A soft hissing sound informs you that the breath-conditioners are also on. Read the rest of this entry »

Balbo Plans Daring Non-Stop World Flight
THE first actual world flight of 25,000 miles in two days without a landing is said to be under consideration by Gen. Italo Balbo.
Four seaplanes, designed for flying eight miles above the earth, would accomplish the feat by refueling in four dirigibles, spaced at 6,250-mile intervals. One dirigible would be stationed near the Amazon river, another in the Polynesian islands, and the third near China.
The planes would make each lap in ten hours and be drawn aboard the ships by a suspended hook and hoist, such as is used on U. S. Macon. During each rest period, ships would continue the flight.
