The courage Of the British NO
men. who have found no defense
job too dangerous TO tackle has
won for them more respect and sd-
miration than have, perhaps. ever
been given a nations women.
And they deserve every bit Of II
those uniformed women who are
driving ambulances. ferryin Z
planes. digging the dead and
wounded from flattened buildings
fighting fires. serving as air raid
wardens. working long hours In
factories turning out planes and
guns.
But don't you suppose that &C
tually those British women are
finding the active role they are
playing in this war more salts
factory than the role that usually
falls to women in wartime
They are right in the thick OF
things, defending their homes in
an active - not passive way.
The woman who drags the injured
from a pile of bricks that was
once house, loads them into an
ambulance, and. ignoring person
al danger, gets them to a hospital
for treatment is bound to know
that she is doing something worth
while, that she is playing an i'm
portant role.
WANT To DO MORE
THAN ROLL BANDAGES
She is bound to feel more use
full than the woman called on to
play the traditional role of wo-
men in wartime. who is told that
doing her part consists Of knitting
sweaters, rolling bandages, send
ing boxes OF food to soldiers, can
ming, and scrimping at home so
that "the boys can be fed.
Those things are essential. of
course, but they don't give a wo-
man the feeling that she, individu-
ally, is taking part in the fight.
One good indication that the
role that the British women are
palying in this war is far more
appealing to women than a more
passive one is the way American
women have started organizing
themselves so that il war should

8O-Passenger Plane
Europe in 10 Hours, Plan for Craft to Be Built by
Lockheed; 9 Ordered by PanAnerican

10000 feet, the plane will weigh
43 tons.
Pan-American Always has or
dered nine of the ships, calling for
delivery of the ninth ship in 1912.
Despite the military plane pro-
duction program. the OPM gave
Lockheed permission to build one
of the ships. which is expected TO
be delivered late this year.
Whether all nine OF the planes will
be built depends on future defense
developments.
The fact that nine planes were
ordered by Pan-American led to
speculation whether the airways
was planning daily round-trip serv-
ice between New York and Lis
bon.
Great secrecy surrounds the en-
gines TO be used on the new plane.
Although present motors develop
about 2.100 horsepower, the new
motors are said TO be able to de-
velop $500 horsepower each.
Secret devices TO step up speed
and efficiency of the motors will
be installed.

Times Annual
Cooking Glass
BY VERA BROWN

Perfect weather, a packed audi
forum and some of Prudence
Penny's magical cooking in a
modern kitchen today helped 10
make a huge success Of The De-
troit Times annual springtime
jubilee at the Fox Theater.
One guest of honor was Ida
Jean Kahn. dietician for The De-
troit Times, who said:
Fashions and figures should
get together. Stylists a couple
OF years back took three inches
off our waists without advance
notice. Then they tried Ia put
us into tight corsets.
WAY To BE SURE
"Tf you want TO be sure your
figure il good for your age, take
a tape measure. If you've added
only three inches since your
teens YOU are all right. I'll
throw my corsage to any woman
who after 10 years has the
same waist measure she had
when she was 90"
Miss Kahn. who weighs only 20
pounds. says reducing is the most
satisfactory thing a woman can
do. She'll be happier, more sure
of herself and she wont spend so
much money in alterations.
"Over-eating Il n habit hard
70 break. But once broken IL
will pay huge dividends in bet
ter health and happiness said
Miss KAN.
Miss Irene Hawkins, woman's
editor OF The Detroit Times, well
coined the huge audience. She
wore a smart beige suit. sables,
and a green yelled hat for a real
Spring note OF color.
REAL TREAT
Miss Penny. cooking expert, Of
fered a real treat for her guests.
Her cooking school today was de-
Vised for grandma 5 benefit.
Grandma herself appeared. To-
year-old Mrs. William Kelly OF
1905 Monica avenue, married 80
years. In a taffeta frock and little
bonnet of the COS Grandma Lu-
cinda looked out of place in the
modern kitchen as she buttered
cake tins for Prudence with
melted butter and a brush.
I'D rather use paper she
said.
When Prudence popped an ice
cream pie into the oven, set bis
cult dough into the refrigerator
Grandma held up her hands IN
horror.
NO LATE SLEEPING
IL seem TO be In the way In
this Kitchen" said grandma
when Prudence cooked a dish for
brunch. "My folks always had
breakfast In the morning and
then dinner at noon. There was
no sleeping latae I'm my day"
Miss Penny turned out such
dishes as whipped cream cake with
buttercream frostitng. ch lex G r
salad, roast leg of lamb-all except
the last in an hour, and passed the
delectableS out into the audience
after grandma had had a sample
of 1871 cooking.
This years school is put in 9
neatly built modern kitchen set
and everybody on the stage wore
shoulder mikes which picked uI
every whisper and gasp of grandma
as the mixer whipped the frosting
At the end, wearing her new
Spring frock and navy blue
grandma admitted with a smile:

suits. My own cakes were never

NEW YORK, July 1l.-Lou
Nova says his September heavy
weight championship fight with
Joe Louis won't 60 more than
two or three rounds.

Ray Carlin, Louis manager
Gosh, Pm as sure of Lou vim
ming now as I am that the sun
viii rise tomorrow.
Il had a few little doubts be-
fore the Conn bout but no more.
Goodness, that powder-puff
puneher had Louis groggy. Think
what Lou will Go to him. Boy,
Lou would have knocked him
stiff if he had had him that
night, Ray said.
Lou Won't Cover
''All those other boys cover
before Joe when they're hit. Lou
won't cover. He comes back
smuggling and carries the fight to
you.
Anyone will tell you that
Max Baer is a harder one-punch
hitter than Louis. He isn't as
good finisher and he won't hit
you as many times but blow for
blow he hits harder than Joe.
And Lou took his best shots,
diln't he? He not only took
them but he pounded Max heav-
lily, cut him up and scored tech
nical knockouts over him.
IF he can take Baer's punch
es. he can take Joe's Sunday
pitch.
''And what about Joe? Well,
he won't be able to take LOUIS
blows. He has shown that he
doesn't take blow any too well.
But those who have hit and
hurt him either didn't follow UP,
or, like Conn, didn't have quite
enough power to kayo him.
LouH Do It
"Lou will hurt him and he'll
be all over him punching for the
Knockout, Ray said.
Yeah, it shouldn't go more
than three rounds, Nova agrees.

l woull become heavyweight
champion. Nothing has ever
made me change my mind. I'm
more sure of it now than ever
before.
Folks say that I've got poor
footwork and that can be hit
easily with a right hand. They're
right-but who has ever knock
