first six hours, formerly run under
the power of the engine itself at
low throttle, the engineers have de-
veloped a new. faster and more eco
nomical method of running the
engine in with electric motors pro-
viding the power. This move also
greatly increased the output of the
% test. block" chambers in which
the engines are run under their own
power. After the six-hour run. the
engine is put in a test chamber
for four hours of running under its
own power.
The engine then goes to a disas-
sembly plant. where it is completely
taken apart and inspected, part by
part. for traces of damage from
metal chips or filing, for clogging of
Oil leads or for any other malfunc-
tioning of any kind. If any such
malfunctioning is found, new parts
are supplied, the engine is reassem-
bled, tested again. and taken apart
once more for reinspection. Then
1t goes to the final assembly shop
and after assembly is given another
six hours of running before final
approval and clearance for Ship
ment. Although this careful testing
obviously is costly and requires a
great deal Of labor and time, it in
Sures the reliability of the individ-
ual engines produced. 1t is only fair
to say that very few engines ever
are found to be faulty during these
tests
Addition Financed by France.
Reference has been made to the
French addition to the Pratt &
Whitney plant. This addition was
nnanced by the French government
to expedite deliveries of engines for
shipment to France and installatio
IN French airplanes and for installa-
ton in airplanes built for France in
the United States. Although France
had advanced funds for the pur-
pose. construction of the addition
could not be undertaken until the
arms embargo was partially lifted.
When this occurred. last August
construction of the addition began
on an area adjoining the old P. & w.
plant used as an automobile park
ing lot. The building was finished
in three and one-half months, fabri-
cation of parts was in process in it
by the end of five months, while the
production Of machine tools was in
process, and the addition was in full
productive capacity nine months
from the date of breaking ground.

KITCHEN showers are fun for
~ everyone and, while they are
always supposed to be surprise,
the prospective bride will be wise
to give out a broad hint as to her
color scheme. The dearest wish
of one bride-to-be was a kitchen in
gay Mexican colors. Her friends
had a wonderful time selecting
everything from pottery to peeling
knife handles in tones of green,
orange and red. One gift that was
appreciated most of all was the
apron, curtain and tea towel set
sketched here.
This set was made from muslin
-four and sugar bags. Muslin by
the yard would do just as well,
and I have shown in the sketch
how the gingham facings and bias
tape trimming were applied to add
the correct touch of color. If you
have never cut an apron without
special pattern, you will find di-
rections in Book 4 along with

Speed Of Baseball

A speed of 139 feet per second,
or 94.7 miles per hour is the great
est recorded speed of a pitched
baseball. This rate was recorded
by the speed meter owned by the
Cleveland Indians for a ball pitched
by Alley Donald, a member of the
pitching staff of the New York Yam
KEGS, in the Cleveland stadium on
August 80, 1899. The previous rec.
ord, established by Dee Miles Of
the Philadelphia Athletics, was 13t
feet per second.

ders, don't go quietly ahead and
live their lives as they want to.
Their only way out is quarrels and
divorce. But believe many wom-
an would find herself out of the
woods of headaches, depression,
nerves, discomfort, if she sat down
seriously today-or better, took a
long walk, while bordering the ques-
ton, "What changes in our lives
would make me happy? What would
I LIKE to do?"
Almost always the answer is near
er than she thinks.
Set in His Ways.
''My husband is the best man in
the world,' Philadelphia wife once
wrote me, ''but he is set. He hates
anything out of the way. For ex-
ample when two summers ago ]
clipped my little girls hair quite
short, for their comfort and my con-
venience in the hot weather, he was
so angry and SO long resentful that
I paid dearly for it, and so did the
girls. This year they wear curls,
a great care for mother. Our boy is
six months old, and as I do all my
own work I was glad to get the
baby-pen into commission again. But
Kent has decided that the pen may
curb the baby's natural daring, as
he grows, and he won't let me use it.
1--WE have pleasant back yard
with naples and elms in it, and !
have hedges around the clotheslines
and the barrels. Often I would like
to serve lunch or supper there, for
the birds do the clearing up and !
can make meal a picnic, with pa
per cups and napkins. But this con-
ventional man of mine is always
conscious of the few back windows
of neighbors' houses that overlook
the yard; some one MIGHT be look
ing down on us and our hamburgers!
"Kent hands me his pay check
every week; he doesn't drink; he
loves his wife and children. We
save, and we own a lovely roomy
home. But it is trying to be checked
at so many turns, and ! am won
dering if you ever had problem
like mine to solve, and what is the
cure.
Regimented Living.
81 must not send poems to the
evening paper, because it embar-
raises him. The children are never
permitted to see the sfunnies' in the
Sunday paper. No caller must ever
be in the house when Kent gets
home. If I telephone a friend he
keeps up an undertone: Cut that,
dear. You've been six minutes
you've been seven minutes If ]
suggest a movie he is apt to say
kindly, I don't think that with all
you've had to do today you want to
sit in a hot movie Never in the
nine years since my oldest was born
has he stayed at home and let me
60 anywhere at night.
ssBut we all love our daddy, and
this is not complaint" the letter end
ed. '.It's only that if he would be
a little less critical, we would all be
SO happy"
This letter is about six years old.
/ quote it as a perfect illustration
of the state of vassalage in which
some women unconsciously live. The
man neither knew he was tyrant,
nor the woman that her life was be-
ing robbed of all its bloom. And
of course the result was frightened
nerves and half-conscious resent
ment on her part, and the encour-
agement of his messianic complex to
an insufferable point.

EQUALITY

equality of tUomen ,Oith men. She
depIores the state of unconscious Gas.
salage in which many ,Uonen lire.
Their lives are constantly being regu-
lated by domineering husbands sOho
don't realize they are acting as tyrants
over their beloved ,oipes. Miss Norris
studies the serious problem raised by
this deplorabIe condition and offers
adUice on hot0 it can be soIved.
