@. Is 1t true that American planes sent to Britain must be altered there before they can be placed in actual service?
 A. The British have set up in Eng land foster company for, each type American plane received which makes necessary changes and iia- stalls British equipment, or makes alterations to meet constantly changing service requirements. Ar- arrangements are being made to make these changes in the United States.
 @. Why do concrete, fabric and other things, get darker when wet9
 A. The lightness of an objects color is determined by the amount of light scattered diffusely from the object. This light may be divided into a part which penetrateS the elements of the object (such aS fi- bers of a textile or granules of con- crete) and a part (often the larger) which is reflected at the boundary between the air and the clements. If these air-element boundaries are changed by wetting to water element boundaries, the amount of light dif- fusely reflected by these surfaces is reduced greatly, thus making the, color darker.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 23.-The
Columbus Redbirds can win the
American Association championship
by defeating the Louisville Colonels
tonight at Parkway Field. The win
ner of the playof series will play
the winner of the International
League playoff in the Little World
Series.
The Redbirds took a 81 lead in
the best four out of seven series last
night by downing the Colonels, 9 to 5,
after trailing for six innings.
Pete Hader pitched only one ball
for Columbus and was credited with
the win. Oscar Judd, who retired
the first II batters to face him and
allowed only two hits in the first
six innings, was charged with the
loss.
Going into the seventh inning be-
hind, to l, Columbus went on a
batting spree at the expense Of Judd
and Bill Lefebvre, scoring four runs
in the seventh and four more in
the eighth.
Harry Brecheen, the Redbirds'
starting pitcher, was relieved in the
sixth inning by Hader. who had
pitched only one ball when Louis.
ville's third out was made on an
attempted double steal Murray
Dickson finished the game on the
mound for Columbus.
If Louisville wins tonight, the re-
mainder of the games in the series

Club of Washington pool is changed

He's got some youngsters under

These are some of the more ad-
vanced boys, but Dave says he's got
a tankful of young porpoises who are
going to be heard from. They're
even good enough to catch goldfish.
Let's have that again Dave.
Innovations Are Popular.
"It's true" he says. And anytime
you care to see for yourself just drop
around when we have a goldfish
hunt"
This, 1t appears, is a game In
which 10 goldfish, one black, are
liberated in the pool and the kids
90 in after them. Those caught
remain the personal and private
property of the captor and the lucky
youngser snagging the black wiggler
gets an extra lump Of sugar. Some
times Dave can't even see the glori-
fed guppies and his vision is 1920

tribe. The Hillearys probably are
the most famous of the towns num-

Farrells, Pughs, MacDonalds. Busch
ers, and others equally well known
in their own right couldn't compete
with the Hillearys. For one thing
the Georgetown clan had weight of
numbers and simply overwhelmed
their rivals.
1t was considered an evil omen for
a Western High School coach to be-
gin a football season without at

passion for sports and an undeniable
dislike for school-book learning.

But I'll even try that if can make
the grade here. I like it here fine
and I just hope they like me-"
Jake was all-high quarterback
last year on the Western team that
finally wandered into the promised
land of a grid championship after
years in the wilderness. Jake was
not the whole offense, as any COM
petent observer will tell you, only
80 per cent of it. Before that he
helped the West Enders in basket
ball and, more recently, sparkled at
third base on the high school cham
pionship nine, so you can see he is
no slouch in sports.
Norman Began Athletic Line.
Norman Hilleary was the original
"Huck" and one of the family's best
all-around athletes. He graduated
from Western in '26 and still is ac-
tive in sandlot baseball circles, al
though he long since has given up
football. After him came Leo, some
times called "Odie" but more famil-
iarly "Huck" II. He got out in '33.
Jake has upheld the Hilleary stand
ard since the two younger boys,
Donald, IS, and Billy, IL, are coming

for the Western eleven this autumn.
There are more Hillearys, you un-
derstand. This is merely a single
branch Of a leafy tree that has

the lot. Time will tell-if the books
don't toss him for a loss. L. r. A.
