R. l.. Jock Victor was discovered
in a dive-spot, too. All the N ew
York sheets are fussing over the fact
that Evalyn W. Mclean makes her
Newport debut this year. The ques-
tion is, they say, whether it will be
Brenda Frazier, New York Bud No.
l, or Washington's Evalyn Mclean,
who will be THE GLAMOUR GIRL
of 1938-39. . It's difficult to proph-
esy the winnah . We think, as
Washingtonians, that pretty Evalyn
has the better chance. . Anyway,
with Brenda and Evalyn in social

can look forward to a hot winter!

Residence
Bv Flora Macdonald

When a lady is too ex-
cited to eat" you just know
something very important
has happened or is about to
happen in her life.
Such is the state Mrs.
Louis S. Owsley is existing in
these days! The vivacious
Dorothy confessed to us we
were only the second person
she had divulged her "big Sc
cret" to, the other being her
next-door neighbor.
1t is like this: For some
time the Owsleys have been
considering annexing unto
themselves another home.
They already have the pala-
tial looking residence which
is at the corner of Twenty
fourth and S Streets, and
they had thought that they
would spend this summer
looking around.
Connecticut Hills
The locale was decided
upon, so their plan was to
motor to New England and
browse around until they
happened upon just what
they wanted. All of this was
prior to a week ago Wednes-
day. On that particular day,
they were motoring along
the Connecticut countryside
when the answer to their
dreams simply appeared be-
fore them and without mo-
ment's hesitation they signed
on the dotted line.
Now they have a long, low,
rambling white brick house
in the Louisiana Colonial
style, and what is incest, ac-
cording to Dorothy, is the
fact that it is only two hours
from New York and just a
mile and a quarter off the
New York Parkway, and so
all of their friends should
find it most accessible.
Ludor is the name selected for
the estate, being combination
of the owners names. Among
the enchanting features of the
residence is its incompatible
view of the surrounding coun-
tryside, for the new owner tells
us you can see 35 miles in every
direction, and that includes a
marvellous view of Long Island
Sound.

Problems of Such Flights.

Another step toward eventual

with which he has been experiment.
ing for the past six years At Roswell,
N. M.
theoretically it might be possible
to shoot rocket. self-propelled by
high expl YES. to the moon, and
all fantasies Of interplanetary lavi-
cation are based on this principle.
DR.. Goddard himself Is ccncerned
with the much more practical idea
Of perfecting a rocket which will go
to the limits of the earth's atmos-
phere, less than 100 miles, carrying
automatic recording devices. This
has become Of much greater signifi-
canoe during the last two years with
the perfecting of robot observers,
such as the one invented by Bureau
Of Standards physicists which is now
In use for weather observations in
the region IL to 20 miles above the
earth's surface.
There are two great difficulties in
the way OF successful flights 20 much
higher altitudes-lack of a sufficiently
powerful but very light explosive to
provide the motive power and Of suf-
ficiently light but strong structural
material. The latter Is the object of
DR.. Goddard's present patent for
light hollow members subjected to
substantial internal pressure" The
maximum strength with the minimum
weight. he says. can be attained by
utilizing the high tensional sirens tn
Of small wires. such AS fine steel music
wires, to reinforce container walls of
very thin sheet metal or foil. The
wires are wound around the hollow
bodies In all directions to take up the
pressure to which the thin walls are
subjected. Such wires. ID. Goddard
says. may have q tersicnal strength
Of 100000 pounds a square inch.
