INTO the thirty-three years of his
life, handsome Bill Rhode, owner
. of Hors D'Oeuvres. has crowded
enough adventures and successes to
fill volumes. 1t suits him perfectly
that his European grandfather dis
carded the family titles almost hun
dred years ago, as protest against the
way things were going over there even
then. Bill has hobnobbed with roy
atty and nobility across the face of
Europe, and has collected hundreds of
personal anecdotes and recipes from
the great houses of Europe But he
likes Arizona cowboys just as we'll -
or perhaps lot better He values the
friends made in connection with his
work in stage lighting. And he pals it
all over the world with chefs - for
Bill not only likes good food, he also
likes to prepare it.
Wandering Bill Rhode has made
friends with chefs from Greece to
Norway, from Moscow to Africa" to
use his own words. In this way he had
acquired about 1000 recipes, when a
handwritten book of recipes collected
by that famous continental hostess,
The Grand Duchess Louise of Baden,
came into his hands. From then on
Bill made a hobby of collecting the
recipes of great and famous ladies'.
Sick of Europe" as he puts it. Bill
came over here. A friend asked him
to work on his ranch in Arizona and
that was when Bill got acquainted
with cowboys. He liked them; but he
found he didn't like round-ups. So he
asked if he couldn't cook for them.
They were pretty sceptical; but they
told him to take try at it. There in
the midst of the desert, Bill prepared
them royal meal, though he had to
build his own stove to cook it on.
A reputation like the one he had
with the ranchers gets around. 1t fol-
lowed Bill to California and then back
to New York.

young wife of young friend of mine

German idea of warfare. it was time
someone in America set about pro-
tectlng our own nation from U-boats.
There were not more than a few
million other Americans who gave the
matter considerable thought then. but
there were no Brownies among them.
From 1915 on, literally thousands OF
weird antisubmarine devices poured
in on the swamped Navy Department
in Washington, but no half-baked
ideas came in from Brownies labora-
tory. where Browne. week after week,
seated in an ancient leathered char,
surrounded by the Roentgcn-ray
equipment that was his passion, pom
dered what electricity might do to Kill
off U-boats
1t took nearly two years to work it
out. But on that day in April. 1917,
when America, outraged beyond en-
durance by Germany's murderous T.
boat campaign, at last declared war.
Browne showed his plans into brief
case. jammed on his hat. and caught
a train for Washington His time had
come
In Washington. Browne found a
ripe situation. 1t was apparent to
every strategist in our Navy Depart
ment and in the British Admiralty in
London, that the answer to the UbOat
campaign was to seal up the exits to
the North Sea by mines across the
English Channel and between Scot
land and Norway, making it impossl-
BILE for the U-boats to get out into the
broad Atlantic and prey on the vital
streams of shipping flowing to Britain
and France.
Seal them up in their holes,' was
the universal cry. instead of chasing
them all over the ocean once they've
escaped to sea-
But how was it to be done? The
English Channel, twenty miles across,
might perhaps be mined, but between
Scotland and Norway stretched $50
miles of open ocean from 400 to 900
feet deep! Naval experts threw up
their hands at the prospect of building
a 25O-mile-long mine barrier in such
deep water Particularly since the only
known type of mine, which was usu-
ally planted only ten or twenty feet
below the surface, would be totally
Ineffective: all U-boat had to do to
penetrate barrier of these mines was
to dive to sixty feet below the surface
and swim under it. And all U-boats

which would promptly f1atten out the

Browne had his troubles those first
days in Washington. He had to CON
vince the naval experts - already
tired of suggestions - that his hook
up would actually work as he
claimed.
But he was a shrewdly persistent
engineer. and he finally won over the
skeptlcs.

terminating in copper float reached
to within a few feet of the surface.
while the mine itself could be set to
float at any depth desired beneath the
sea, so low that no submarine was
likely to be able to pass beneath it.
Any U-boat at any depth that rubbed
against the copper wire would lmmed-
ately shoot a current down to the
mine. and the conclusion of the ex-
plosion would tear the craft all to
