She put up nearly half a million dollars to finance the 1931 British Schneider Trophy team, the Air Council hav- ing lost interest in further comp. It was that team that won the famed trophy outright for England." Before that, Lady Houston had financed the flight over Mt. Ever- est. An English aviation corres. pondent, with whom the writer talked recently, pictured Lady Houston as a strong-willed, pur. --poseful woman. who was determ._ ined to do something worthwhile with her 'millions. According 'to this story, she had moved to the tax-free Isle of Jersey in the Eng. lish . Channel because of a tax dispute in England. Still she financed the winning Schneider team, and according to heresay, the original Vickers Wellington mber, "Thanks to Lady Houston, whe seems to have had more aviation foresight than either the British or American government in those days, R.

The old German laughed. - "It ate holes in clothing, no?" { "Why, yes!" Kay was surprised. "And it took paint off wood and metal, no?" "Then you and Dad knew it would do these things, It isn't really a cleaner?" "Yes, we knew that."

It was not always easy, Sometimes we bought chemicals instead of food, "From my brother, in Germany, I heard of changes that were going on. Long ago, your father said this war must come. He could see that, I could see it, too. '" 'When it does come, Hans,' he said, 'it must not find us like it did in 1917," America must be ready. There must be shells, bombs, We must do our part.' "For years we worked, until we finally were successful. We have an explosive--a super-explosive --that is safe and easy to handle, It can be stored. in boxes like-- like soap. It will explode only when mixed with acid, alcohol and water. You will find all three are necessary, Mr. Benton." "I discovered that, rather sud- denly," Joe agreed. "As long as those reagents are separated," Stadt went on, "there is no danger of any explosion, That makes this product great. It will burn but fire will not detonate it. If an. enemy tries to destroy it with another ex- plosive, he could do no more than scatter it. Even if he tried acids, it is unlikely that he would think of alcohol and water." "How did Dad intend using it?" Kay questioned. "In delayed explosion timo bombs," Hans said. "In the fac- tory in Germany during the last war we made them, Acid and explosive separated by a thin met- al partition. The:acid eats through the metal--Boom!'

Here is a rule, which, if fol. lowed, will banish the cause for such complaints: "In casting on use one inch of wool for every stitch, Most knitters cast on by making a loop over the thumb or forefinger of the left hand and knitting it with the right-hand needle. Measure off 48 inches for this left-hand thread; cast 16 on each of 3 needles. I hear you say you cannot possibly use that much--it is too loose. You can; it is not too loose, If you. use steel needles, make the first loop tight, and the others looser, Try using wooden needles; try using 'size 6 or 8 needles and then changing to smaller ones. casting the whole 48 on a large . needle then knitting off 16 on each of 3 smaller ones, Take any sock you have recent. ly. made; stretch the top as far as you can; measure a man's leg. Are you sure it is large enough? Remember that the least feeling of a top around the leg becomes very painful after hours of wear. For this same reason, never join wool in the sole. No matter how thin you think your joining is, . it will thicken after being thoroughly wet, : As for casting off, here is a never-fail method. Knit 2 stitches together, pull the new stitch out at least 2 inch long, and put it back on the left-hand needle. Knit that and the next stitch to- gether, pulling the new one out long, and putting it back on the left-hand needle; Continue across in this way until" all the stitches are used. This makes a double edge that will not ruffle, and will not ravel easily even if broken, And one last word: now and then, knit a pair of socks for a boy with real long feet.
