again, she made few bungled
efforts TO care for her child. But
soon she surrendered her baby 10
Bessie and decided 10 do all the
homework by herself.
Dinner was not always on time,
and sometimes the roast was not
quite done. In her last minute
scramble TO gather up the laundry,
Mrs. Bannister would often over
look her husbands favorite shirts.
KNOWS DIFFERENCE
Gradually, and with tact, Bessie
began to relieve Mrs. Bannister of
her duties. Mr.. Bannister was
aware of the difference, but he did
not mention it.
He felt as If Bessie had been
away and had come back. He
knew that nothing would be the
same if she ever went away for
good.
Mrs Bannister's second baby
was born. and then her third. She
did not mend after her third
child's birth. but death did not
free her for seven long years
For those seven years Bessie
kept house for Mr.. Bannister and
the children. She sat at table
with them.

because she was the nearest thing
to a mother that any of them
could remember.
OLDEST Is IL
The oldest boy was ID when his
stepmother died. He loved Bessie
more than anyone in the world
He knew that his mother had de-
serted him, and that Bessie had
not.
He was too young TO be tactful
and told his father that he owed
nc 10 Bessie TO marry her for her
years of faithfulneSs.
His father was furiously resent
full. He saw Bessie as a scheming
woman who had let slip her
chances to marry. and now, in her
middle thirties. had sent a senti-
mental boy TO plead for her.
II was in this state of anger
that was really guilt that MIR

For the third time, and with no
ewarning, Mr.. Bannister
brought his bride TO Bessie.
AS he looked from the young.
trim girl at his side to the worn
and gentle woman before him. he
was filled with a sense of intoler-
able loss, and his triumph turned
to ashes.
Bessie went TO bed that night
with a binding headache. She
could not raise her head from the
pillow the next morning.
The children were late for
school. The beds went unmade.
The third Mrs. Bannister burned
her hands at the stove.
Toward noon Bessie fell into
Idelirium. The doctor was called.
He was very grave when he left
her room. He said she did not
seem 10 have the will 10 live
Mr.. Bannister lay on his bed and
stared up at the ceiling. Below
stairs nc. heard the alien voices.
Mr.. Bannister rolled over and
muffled his mouth in the pillow.

away 10 college In his letters e
his mother there was always some
little message for Bessie.
In his mothers letters 20 hin
there was always some little mes
sage from Bessie, With him away
az school. his mother and Bessie
ate together and sat together and
took their infrequent excursions
together.
Al Christmas, Mr. Bannister
brought a college friend home with
him. Bessie set the table for

the kitchen TO talk 10 her
She said that Bessie was her COM

at the table. When Bessie sat
down at dinner. Mr.. Bannister was
surprised and embarrassed.
He stole a quick glance at his
college friend. The boys eyes
were wide with admiration, and
Mr.. Bannister felt a prick of
jealousy that he could not explain.
After dinner he followed Bessie
TO the kitchen. Diffidently he
asked if she had a beau yet When
she assured him with bushes that
she hadn't. he sternly advised her

and required his mothers constant
attendance. Bessle'S own father
had just died. and however regret

earnings would help TO feed the
numerous younger HobbseS.
In no time al all she was rock

mother. When his father died, il
was Bessie who saw his mother
through her bitter bereavement.
She was like a devoted daughter.
And IL was natural that Mr.. Ban

affection he would have given a
younger sister.
Sometimes he went into the
kitchen TO help her with the dishes.
He had got over the widow, and
he told her how silly he had been
and how he would marry a simple
home girl some day.
Bessie would listen gravely. The
color would glow in her cheeks,
and he would tease her about
having a beau.

FORMER RECTORS
 BANQUET GUESTS

The golden jubilee banquet of the First Lutheran church was observed by approximately 300 parishioners and friends in the parish hall on Grove street last night where the present rector and two former rec- tors vividly traced the history of the church since its existence in 1886 when teh First Church of Water- bury formed branch society for it's German speaking members.
 Rev. pr, William Jentsch of Phil adelphia, pastor here from 1891 to 1898, Rev. William R. Meyer, of Jer- sey City. N. J., spiritual leader of the congregation from 1924 to 1881, and Rev. Martin J. Lorenz, present rector, were the principal speakers.
 In tracing the history of the par- ish, Pastor LorenZ noted last night that there have been 1862 bap- tisms, l,l39 combinations, and TOT marriages recorded in the minis terial acts since the congregation was organized.
 Louis Schuster, Sr., was chair man of the banquet committee for the congregation. Those repre- senting other bodies of the church included c. H. Reihl. Karl Sonntag, Robert Litfln, Herbert Pinter, Mrs. M. J. Lorenz Mrs. Ernest Bartsch, Mrs. Henry J. Jubelt. Mrs. Rose Kemp, Mrs. Oscar Hess, Henry Schissler.

work. That was q secret appropria- ton, and 1t stayed q secret for q year. Then the word leaked out as to what was going on, for the secret was too big to hide.
 fn tie first place there was no hangar big enough to house this baby. No aluminium castings had ever been made as big as those re- qiircd by It's specifications. There was no testing equipment capable of measuring the stresses and strains. So c whole new engineer ing technique had 10 be developed And every step taught the engin- eers and builders something new. If the plane never gets off the ground, it will have paid for itself already, in the Improvements 1t has develop cd for other planes. ..
 Already announcements have been made of the 10 new models Of military aircraft under development in factories scattered about the coiintry-planeS 50 revolutionary in their design and Improvements that they make obsolete the models now under production. Many of these unborn planes owe something to old mother B-i0.
 There are two other secrets, be- sides artnor and armament, that B-l0 must conceal. One is its cost, and the other is the man who dc. serves most credit for her design

the first to employ the monocoque construction, eliminating cross struts and braces, and securing their strength through the skin tension Of the surface metal on the frame. work of the fuselagc and wings. IL was this army experimental model, faster than the pursuit ships then available, that popularizcd the Boe- ing 247 transport that United States Airlines flew 70 successfully until these ships were in turn surpassed by the Douglas pcs.
 After the success of the B.O and 10, the army went after something still better, and produced one mod. el Of the xB-i6 in 1880. This, too, was the last word in airpiane de- sign. till It crashed 50 disastrously at Wright Field. Out of It's ashes and wreckage, however, there rose the plans for the B-l0 itself, and it's development went right along with the building Of the B-i7'S-the fiy- Ing fortresses that arc now the wonders of the aviation world,
 BUILDING B.l0

 It took six years to assemble the engineering data for B-l0. Tn io3e, however, the army was ready to go ahead and 1t was able to get from Congress q preliminary appropria. ton of c million dollars to begin the

 and building.
 The cost Is kept secret because, obviously, 1t Is far beyond what any other plane ever cost before. The years of planning before the hangar to house 1t was built. The pain stalking mock-up, the building of parts in wood before they were built Of metal, the six years of actual construction-all represent cost that can't fairly be put against this one plane, the experimental model for all the bigger and still bigger planes that are to come.
 And as for the designer-it was designed blythe army. Yes, the whole army is given the credit, but If 1t must be narrowed down more than that, dip your wings particu- larly to the Aircraft branch of the Materials Division of the Army Air Corps, which has been headed throughout this period Of develop- ment by It.

First Milestone Held
 Health Achievement
Sight of Lone Candle on Birthday Cake Symbol. izes Victory Over Hazardous Period of Life - Knowledge Gives Parents
 Keener Appreciation.

Mothers should be particularly happy at the sight of one candle flickering on birthday cake since 1t
 means that the baby has completed . particularly hazardous period Of his life, Susan P. Souther, M. D., Public Health Physician of the Bureau Of Child Hygiene pointed out today in the regular weekly broad- cast Of the State Department Of Health. Knowledge that normal growth has taken place, that the baby does the things he should at his age and that he has received all possible health protection should give even greater satisfaction.
 Doctor Souther explained that the average baby at birth weighs seven pounds, at one year his birth weight should have tripled to approximate ly twenty-one pounds. Although gain In weight may vary somewhat with six, with the size of the in- fant at birth and with feeding, nor- ual infants should gain fairly stead- fly during the first year. The length of the average newborn irl- fant Is twenty to twenty-one inches; at one year he should be twenty. five to thirty-five inches in length. Height is usually more variable than weight. It Is influenced by sex, race and familiar tendencies. The average infant has six teeth at one year. Some babies have more teeth than the expected number. Any marked delay in eruption of the teeth, however, should be discussed with the family physician.
 Tn order to tell what things a baby should be able to do when one year old, the behavior of numerous other infants of the same age is used as basis for comparison, &C., cording to Doctor Souther. A nor- mai baby at this age usually can pull himself up to a standing posi- ton. or can walk by holding on to some object. He tries to feed him- self and is interested in handling and manipulating simple toys. He may be able to say q few words and to associate them with the proper objects or persons.
 Throughout the period of infancy, it Is important that the child b: under continuous medical supervi- sion to protect his health and pro-
