where signals for help were being
sent, but hope Of rescue was slim
because no answer was heard. The
men in the water, clinging to every
thing from suitcases to mattresses,
had little hope. The sun went down
and the moon arose and found them
ceaselessly rising and falling on the
swells. There was little conversa-
ton. for the men were awaiting
death.
Saved by Destroyer.
Then suddenly there came steal
ing through the moonlight the same
destroyer which had conveyed them
toward Christmas Island, which had
been thought hundreds of miles
away. The very pistol found aboard
1t. Ernst's raft had attracted their
attention. But the Japs, like the
Germans in the Atlantic, also had
anticipated a rescue party and had
sent submarine to watch for it.
Rtking being torpedoed by the sub
marine, whose pursuing movements
could be clearly heard by the 4e-
stroyers listening apparatus, the
destroyer, nevertheless, crept through
the waters. 1t was impossible to
pause; q single Slow-run, length
wise through hundreds of heads
bobbing in the moonlight, was itself
most risky.
The destroyer cast nets over the

to catch on. But all had been ~

some were unable to grip the nets
Other lines with nooses were cast
out as far as possible for the men
to put under their armpits but many
lives were lost by only an arms
length.
The submarine was coming stead
lily closer. Some members of the
destroyer's crew, unable to bear the
sight of the scores left behind or
plunging vainly through the sticky
brown water from too far away,
plunged into the waves with lines
around their waists, and themselves
were nearly lost.

EVERYONE knows that quick
- meals in the kitchen save time,
but it was both time and space
that had to be saved in this kitch-
en- where breakfasts were eaten on
the run and the children had but
a few minutes for lunch. The
problem was solved by building a
16-inch-wide counter under a win
dow and then making simple
stools to be slipped under it when
not in use. The dimensions and
construction of the stools are
shown here. A saw, screw driv-
er and a wood chisel are the only
tools that were used.
The stools were painted cream

way to the nurses aid class, moth
er or the youngsters, no one should
skip blithely over this meal of the
day.
For years doctors and dieticians
have looked askance at those who
passed up real up-and-at-them
breakfast because it doesn't give
the body a chance to start func-
tioning early in the day. If you're
fat, you need fruit-egg-toast-and-
beverage breakfasts to start your
metabolism working at top speed to
start tearing down of excess tissues.
If you're thin, then you need just
as much Of breakfast with few
more trimmings, to start building
yourself. If you're normal, you still
need the hearty breakfast so you
can maintain your health and give
your body its daily nutritional re-
quirements. And one of the best
recommendations for a real break
fast is the good way it starts you
on your days work. None of that

New Resins

Three new and interesting resins
have been found in England. They
are Hal resin, Jak tree resin and a
gum from Acacia Zacta. A varnish
made with Hal resin and turpentine
was applied to sized wood on which
it dried in about 48 hours to a fairly
tough glossy finish. Jak tree resin
is practically 100 per cent soluble in
acetone and the Acacia Zacta ap-
pears to be a good substitute for
standard gum acacia.

Lynn Says:
for Breakfast Fruits

Tips for Breakfast Fruits:
You're going to be little short
on sugar so do the most with
what you have. A little salt in
cooked fruit or sprinkled on such
things as melons brings out true
fruit flavor, requires less sugar.
Lemon or lime juice with mel
on enhances the natural sweet
ness. Try it.
Orange juice, chilled before the
fruit is squeezed, is an excellent
pep-you-up. Let the sugar stand
on grapefruit while (while the
coffee percolates) and the sugar
will melt and go further. Try
eating fruit or juice first, but saw
ing half to finish off your break
fast-it will leave a fresh taste
in your mouth.
Fruit stewed should have sugar
added after it is stewed, with a
pinch Of salt. You won't need
as much sweetening, this way.
Cook dried fruits with a slice
Of lemon or orange. These citrus
fruits have an affinity with dried
apricots, peaches, prunes and ap-
pies.
