Mystery Passenger
In Bomber Crash
Puzzle 10 Army a.
Seeks to Leurn DetuiIs
Of OfFrenchmon's Presence
On Test Flight
By the Associated Press.

~ the Associated PreSs
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24.-High-
ranking Army officers sought CAUSE
today for the flaming crash Of the
Nations newest light bomber which
killed its test pilot and seriously in
jured French airman, whose pres
ence on the ill-fated flight was mys-
teriously unexplained.
Douglas Aircraft Corp, builder of
the metal twin-engined tricycle.
geared plane, admitted 1t was being
groomed for War Department com.
petition at Dayton, Ohio.
But company officials first gave
an incorrect identity and then re-
fused explanation as to why Paul
Chemidlin, 80, Of the French air
ministry, accompanied Test Pilot
John Gable, IS, when the secretly
designed bomber took of yesterday
Plane Falls Out Of Control.
A half hour OF dificult aerial
maneuvers, and then Gable appar-
emily cut one engine preparatory to
climbing tria6 at half power. From
a low altitude, the plane fell into q
steep vertical bank, seemingly out
Of control.
Cables parachute failed to open
as he plummeted to earth. Chemid-
lin stayed with the plane as 1t
crashed into parking lot near.
North American Aviation Co.'S plant
at Los Angeles Municipal Airport.
Nine automobiles were demolished
and 10 persons, including four
women, slightly hurt by the flying
wreckage. Flames gushed from the
crumpled bomber. but Chemidlin.
one leg broken, his back wrenched
and head battered, was dragged TO
safety.
Douglas released his name a.
"Smithin-a mechanic" Secrecy was
imposed on him at Santa Monica
Hospital, where he was removed for
treatment.
Inquiry Is Started.
Because Of the military nature Of
the plane, the Civil AGonautics
Authority announced it would make
no inquiry, but one was begun by
Army officers, who conferred with
the Douglas management last night.
Chemidlin's purpose on the flight
was particularly puzzling. because of
Federal regulations forbidding the
export of any military-type plane
until it has been in service in this
country for year, or has been re-
jected for national defense use.
Douglas, like other American,
plants, has sold numerous fighting
planes to foreign nations in recent
years.

ToyGunVery
Boys Activities
Influence His
Later Life
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Play is a childs business in life,
1t means as much to him as his
fathers business means to father
and the family. He goes about it
with keen interest and he puts all
he has into the game, be it tag or
&c" men. 1t is better not to make
it &C. men.
I am concerned about gun play
because play is the introduction to
all activity. A child plays for about
II years without any thought or idea
of work. Gradually this play ac-
tivity changes. Bits of work begin
to show in the pattern. He builds
himself hut. She knits herself a
scarf and Weaves it into the play
The game goes on because it is the
child's life expression.
We, after many years of living
with children, have come to believe
that every activity that children
practice merges into the next &C
tivity, giving it quality and strength
and direction. To that end one
would select values in games
wherever possible. Gun games
would set certain qualities in a
childs attitudes and behavior; and,
to my way of thinking, those quail
ties are not what we, his friends,
would choose for him, and for those
who might come under his influ-
ence.
When a small boy-not so small
either, considering his II years
steals softly up behind an elderly
woman, his hostess, and snaps toy
pistol behind her head, who can call
his behavior valuable? When q
group of 7-year-olds hide in the
shrubbery and dash out yelling
wildly at the riders on the bride
path, frightening the horses and
throwing a rider, who can call their
behavior valuable, even decent?
Children do not know the impli-
cations of their behavior. but the
grown people who give them the
toy guns and smile at their playing
with them ought to understand, If
they do not. Bad manners do lead
to bad conduct and much trouble
for child and family.
There are many good games for
children of all ages. There are
balls, racquets, tools, cameras, fish
ing rods, bats, boards and boats
The world is full of ways to happi-
ness and Joy, and many Of them
are open to all children. Parents
and friends who give children toy
pistols, guns, uniforms that suggest
guns and war and gangs, knives to
be carried in a sheath in the belt
are responsible for whatever Ill
effects these things have upon the
children and society.
1t is all very well to say that boys
must be trained to use guns in
defense of their country. If that
were true, it does not apply to chill
dren, at least in this country. A gun
used to defend ones country Is ar
instrument of death and it i'll be-
comes any one to put such an in.
strument in the hands of child OF
such q thought into his mind
Thoughts have a way Of becoming
| actions.

Instructions
For Making
Wreaths
Choice of Materials
Is Widely Varied;
Wire Best Base
By EDITH nj. HOUGH.

| WreathS are not only simple to
make but they are often more salts
factory when made according to ones
own design and with materials of
ones own selection. There is choice
of pine, spruce, hemlock, hemlock
mixed with pine, arbor vitae, cedar,
ivy and laurel and, if it is not avail
able in the yard or woods, the ever
green material can be bought from
florists. There is an almost unlim-
tied variety of decorations, too,
which are easily and cheaply OBJ
tanned. Some of these are the cones
of evergreens, of many forms and
sizes, and red, orange and blue ber-
ries of shrubs like sumac, barberry,
Pyracantha and cedar, nuts of all
shapes, balls of Sycamore and But
tonWood trees, acorns and colored
fruits such as cranberries, kumquats
and crab apples.
The base for the wreath is hoop,
made of heavy, flexible metal wire
bent to any circumference desired.
Sometimes, if the wreath is not to
be too heavy, metal coat hanger,
which has the additional advantage
of hook by which it may be hung,
is suitable when bent to form a
circle. Pieces of evergreen, from
to 10 inches long, in punches of two
or three, are fastened to the base
with picture frame or stovepipe wire
One bunch on each side and another
on top Of the base will provide
enough fullness. The necessary
amount varies, of course, with the
various types of materials; spruce,
for example, is heavy, stiff and thick
and need be used in lesser quantity
than hemlock. About 2 inches from
the beginning, similar group of
three punches is wired on, overlap
ping to cover the ends of the first
bunch. In this manner, the rest
of the material is fastened along
the base until the wreath is COM
plete. The work proceeds always
in one direction and the wire is
wound tightly around and around
over each group. When the wreath
is finished, it should be symmetrical
To add the cones, sprays of ber-
ries or other decorations, the same
thin wire is used, securing it around
the ends of the cones or sprays and
fastening it on the wreath. One
may use any of the variety of deco
rations, even to artificial ones,
Christmas bells and figures and
hard candies wrapped in red cello
phane, and experiment with designs,
grouping them regularly around the
wreath, all at one side or on oppo-
site sides.
The wreath has shimmering
beauty if the ends of the pine nee
dies or other evergreen leaves are
tinted with silver gilt. The cones
also may be gilded or painted. If
fruit is used for decoration, it is
most effective when lacquered and
will preserve best under such a coat
ing. To hasten the drying of red
paint on the cones and balls and
to make it a bright scarlet, a thin
coat of plain white paint with a
mixture of Japan dryer should be
applied first.
