CHAPTER SIX.

!. SO far had no means of controll-
Ing our progress. I thought, any
way. that it was vital to keep track
ot our position. To do this it was
necessary to devise way to gauge,
as accurately as possible, the speed
Of our craft. The only navigation
instrument I had was a small aerial
navigator's scale of mileage. This
was handy, and of course I had a
thorough knowledge of the heavenly
bodies used in navigation.
Il tried several schemes for
Estimating our speed. One of the
first was to throw a piece of rag,
which was the only thing we had
sf1at would float, into the water,
then counting by the thou.
sand-and-one, -thousand-and-
two method, it taking just about a
second to say each numeral. While
We still had plenty of rags I would
tear a few threads and cast them
ilato the water, as far ahead as !
could, then count as they passed
the length of the raft, which was
the known factor.
Thus I came to deduce that an
estimated IL knots of wind gave us a
drift of approximately 25 knots. six
knots of wind drift of l knot.
However. did not find the thread
method very satisfactory. In the
tool pocket there was also a 2O-foot
length of heavy cord. I cut off a
length of about 6 feet of this, and
tied to the end fat metal identi-
flcation disk from Tony's key ring,
to act as a sinker. I tied the other
end of the line to the center of the
side Of the raft and tossed it out
to drift. The metal disk was slightly
concave and would futter as we
scooted along. The faster we went,
the faster 1t would f1utter, and the
nearer the surface it would rise.
soon became quite expert at COM
putting our speed with fair accuracy
by this means.
..s Time Hard to Figure.
] figured that if I could estimate
our speed and direction within a 10
per cent error, we would at least not
become entirely lost in the time it
would take us to starve to death or
be overtaken by disaster from one of
the other ever-present hazards we
were facing daily.
At the very first we decided to
keep a continuous watch, and we
did throughout the first few weeks
I'm until the time we became too
weak and exhausted to sit up for
any length of time.
We had no timepiece, of course,
but each of us would stand what we
Judged to be four hours, at the
start. After about week I cut
this to two hours. Naturally our
minds began to dull, and our facul-
ties for Judgment became less and
less dependable, so there developed
considerable reneging on the watch
time. Once l stood watch practl-
cally all day by myself in the blaz-
ing sun, and after that I laid
down the law in no uncertain terms.
The watches worked out more sat-
isfactorily after that.
Discipline was we'll kept through
out the voyage. Naturally was in
command. I took an occasion to
remind the boys that I as captain
had absolute authority.

Garage Replica
Of Dwelling

If you find it necessary TO build
a detached garage. you may be
pleased with the idea Of a minia-
tufe replica of your home. This
novel structure will blend vel
with the house. Shutters, win
dows and doorway may be mex
pensively painted on instead of
built.
A wooden dummy chimney,
painted with brick design. will
add realism. If the residence is
of brick but the garage is built
of wood, a similar design might
be stenciled on an entire wooden
garage
The idea can also be applied to
the dog kennel or a child's out
door playhouse And most any
child would be thrilled with a
tiny reproduction Of the big house
for a doll house.

Doorway
Let Home Entrance Extend
Gracious Welcome

There's no need TO stress the
importance of a hospitable front
door. Everybody knows from expe-
rience how a house seems to well
come you. or stand coldly aloof,
as you come UP the walk, accord
ing to whether the entrance looks
friendly or uninterested.
Granted, then, that every one
wants a front door that will ex-
tend gracious welcome TO guests,
the problem becomes one Of fig
uring out how best 10 accomplish
this.
One thing that can often be
done is 10 build in a comfortable
bench on either one OF both sides
OF the door. It's easiest. OF course,
if there's a small porch or wide
doorstep. but if there isn't you can
often achieve the same intimate
effect with a vine-covered pergola,
always an added charm.

essential TO the nations war ef-
fort. it was announced Saturday.
Because Of wartime presSures
on transportation, savings in con-

to handle sales of $50 new defense
homes in Allen Park and Lincoln

Finance Conversion

Home owners in areas of short
fuel oil supplies who now heat
their houses with oil burners may
finance the conversion of their
furnaces 10 the use of coal through
FHA-insured Title / loans, thereby
assuring the comfort of their fami-
lies during the winter months as
well as helping in the solution of
the critical oil supply problem.
Similarly, by installing improved
insulation, or storm doors, storm
windows and weather stripping,
home owners can keep the heat in
their houses and the cold outside.
This will reduce fuel consumption,
slash next winters heating bills
and result in more comfortable,
healthier living conditions. Such
improvements also can be financed
under the Title l plan.

Q. and a.

Q-I want 10 put some shelves
up along a plastered wall. How
can 1 find where the studs are
so that will have good mailing
ground?
1t is most common practice 10
space studs Is inches center to
center, so that if you find one,
the successive studs can be To-
Gated by simple process of
measuring theoretically! Actual
ly, this standard spacing is varied
a good deal. particularly in in
terror partitions, because of the
position Of doors and closets. odd
room sizes. etc. The best method
short of X-ray is the good old
hlt-or-misS. BY tapping on the
walls lightly with a hammer you
can generally find spots that sound
solid. Check yourself by driving
a nail through the plaster, first
making sure that the spot is one
that will be covered by the Shelv-
ing anyway. Having made sure
of one, the 16-inch spacing rule
may be used as a guide, but only
that. You won't really know till
you drive a nail home. Then if
you find that you're wrong, pull
out the nail (be sure 10 put a
board under the hammer so you
can pull straight and won't crack
the plaster) and patch the hole
with plaster of Paris.
Q-Under the recent War
Production Board construction
order affecting maintenance and
repair, may a home owner use
a substitute material For in
stance, may he replace a worn
out metal roof with n shIngIe
roof?
A-Yes. Where repairs are nee
Iessary. il is permissible 10 use any
.other type Of material if the archi-
|tectural or structural plan is not
ALTERED substantially.
Q-Bullders must obtain au-
thoriZation TO begin residential
construction estimated to cost
$500 or more under the new
construction order. What does
ESTIMATED cost" include?
A-The estimated cost shall
Include the cost of certain equip
ment. This includes articles,
chattelS, or fixtures physically
incorporated in the building and
used as part Of the building. Such
estimated cost need not include
the use Of used materials which
have been taken from another
building and are 10 be used in
construction work, provided there
is no change of ownership. 1t is
not necessary likewise 10 include
the cost Of labor in Incorporating
such used material.
Q-Our refrigerator Is chlpped
and scratched. Can IL be refin-
ished?
A-Easily. The paint used is of
the same type as those with which
your repair man recoats dented
auto tenders and may be obtained
through your paint dealer 1t may
be applied by brush or spray-the
latter giving better results usu-
ally. However, spray work can
be done only by those having the
equipment and. even
more important, the experience.

Amend Regulation

In recognition of the urgent
need for fuel conservation, the
board of governors of the Federal
Reserve System has amended its
regulation w, restricting the
terms of most types of consumer
credit, to exempt loans used to
finance the conversion of heating
equipment from one type of fuel to
another. or to reduce fuel con-
sumption by better insulation,
As a result, home owners financ-
ing such fuel saving measures
through FILA Title | loans can
receive the maximum terms per-
mitted by the National Housing
Act. Such loans may run for as
long as three years and are repaid
in equal monthly instalments.
