German Air Power
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Apart from a vigorous attack on one sector of the Western Front near the Moselle River Germanys long awaited offensive has turned out to be a cautious series of submarine and aerial attacks British naval units The greatest damage it is well worth nothing, has been done by U-boats not bombing planes. Both the Courageous and the Royal Oak destroyed by torpedoes from undersea craft while air bombardments have only done slight damage even when they suc- ceeded in making hits.
 This is not in itself a confirmation that the air arm of the Reich is failing to measure up to Nazi boasts But it suggests that this is the case; and that impression borne out by the amazing successes of British air squadrons in reconnaissance flights over Germany Those reconnaissance flights were opposed once they reached the German frontier, but in many cases were carried out despite German anti-arcraft fire and German pursuit plane attacks
 Mass air attacks have not been attempted from either side. But more and more the evidence ind- cates that will be too costly for the Reich to attempt to destroy such large and dffused objectves in Eng land industrial and railway centers. The virtual failure of the German air attack on the British sea base at Edinburgh may not be conclusive. But added to other instances it strengthens the belief that air power not going to be the decisive weapon it's ad vocates have asserted in recent years.

Question: In removing rockers
from chair, should they be
knocked off or sawed off? Should
the legs be all the same length from
the bottom Of the seat at the cor
ners? Would the chair then be
too low for slipper" chair?
Answer-Knocking the rockers off
Evening star., 1939-06-10

may damage the legs of the chair.
Saving them off is safer. After the
rockers are off, further cutting may
be necessary to get the legs of the
chair to set squarely on the floor.
Make your measurements carefully.
The front legs of the average chair
are a trif1e longer than those in
the back Cone-quarter to one-half
inch). Whether or not the chair
will be too low will depend on the
present height.
Knotty Pine Finish.
Question: A new room is lined
with knotty pine How shall I pro-
ceed to give same a light maple
stain?
Answer-Your local paint dealer
will have a color card from which
you can select the desired color of
stain. The stain is brushed on free
ly, and time is allowed for its pene-
tration; about two minutes for pine
Wipe the surface clean with cheese
cloth. If the color is not dark
enough. apply second coat. Over
this apply coat of shellac thinned
half and half with denatured al
cohol. Finish by waxing or var
nishing. Before applying the stain
try it out on some leftover pieces
of pine.
Slow Drainage.
Question: Water in a second-hoor
sink runs out very slowly This is
not due to sluggish drain. for the
pipes have been cleaned out sew
eral times without benefit. Could
air be holding up the drainage?
AnSwer-Slow drainage would not
be from air. but from an obstruc-
ton in the pipe. AS ordinary meth
ods Of cleaning have not helped
matters, YOU must look for some
other obstruction: possibly faulty
