tacks, and . murderous screen OF
anti-aircraft fire brought down II
German bombers and two Messer-
schmitt fighters in the 24-hour pc
riod ending at 7 pm. tonight-one
Of the best records made in the re-
cent days of Malta's defense.
Six other German bombers were
damaged in the long series Of raids,
4 communique said tonight.
The Nazis suffered most Of their
casualties in a desperate half-hour
attack on an airdrome on the island
Curtains of anti-aircraft shells
burst over the field as the slow
Junkers 88 tried to come in.
British anti-aircraft gunners were
credited with bringing down eight
Of the bomberS and two MesSer-
schmitt 109 fighters.
The Hurricanes went north of the
island to meet the incoming flights
OF Germans and picked of four OF
the new German type fighter
bomber, Messerchmittt ITO. The
Messerschmitt HOS, slowed by their
bomb loads, were easy prey for the
Hurricanes.

indication Of the way Maltas de-
fenses have been built up to meet
the constant raiding Of Axis planes.

two large merchant vessels OF the
coast of the Carolinas was an
nounced yesterday by the Navy De-
partment. which listed four men as
lost and two missing.
The sinking Of one OF the ships
apparently was aided early Wednes-
day by lightning flashes which en-
abled the undersea raiders to send
home two torpedoes. A heavy sea
was running at the time, but all
except two of the 41-man crew
escaped in nfeboats from the
stricken American vessel.
Twenty-six men, including two
seamen, Bill Brickbach and David
Leo. who gave their homes as WASH
ington, were picked up after five
hours in a lifeboat and landed at
Norfolk, the Associated Press re-
ported. Thirteen others were res
cued by another ship and taken
ashore at Morehead City, N. C. The
identity of the two missing men was
not Immediately established.
Four Lost, 81 Saved.
Four lives were lost, the 9Th
Naval District announced yesterday,
in the sinking of the second mer-
chant ship Monday afternoon.
Thirty-seven other members Of the
crew were landed at Southport,
N. c., after they were picked up
from three lifeboats. The men we're
rescued an hour and a half after
they left their ship.
The four believed lost were on
duty in the engine room when a
torpedo crashed into the starboard
side OF the vessel The men were
listed as William w. Johnson, Sec
ond assistant engineer: A. H. Hay
good. junior engineer: William D.
Swan, wiper, and John Nyholm.
second pump man. Capt. Martin
Adler, U. S. Naval Reserve, was
among the survivors.
In the sinking which occurred
early Wednesday, James Miller. a
wiper. Of Pelly. Tex. expressed the
belief the submarine would have
missed the ship except for the elec-
trio storm.
There were great bright flashes
of lightning and you could see for
miles" he said. II think the sub
would have missed us if it hadn't
had this light to aim by"
Two torpedoes struck the port
side of the ship. Able-bodied Sea-
man James Stafford Of Seymour.
Tex, said the vessel sank about 40
minutes after the second explosion.
Ship Did Not Burn.
I'VE had plenty of time, but we
worked in a hurry because we
thought the sub would probably
send another torpedo into us"
Stafford related. I'VE also didn't
know but what the ship would
burst into flames any minute. She
didn't burn and that's all that
saved U.S."
One of the four lifeboats on the
ship was destroyed by torpedo
blast and another could not be
launched because 1t was on the
windward side of the vessel. Chief
Engineer Joseph F. Lafo of West
haven, Conn, said the 26 men in
his boat were terribly crowded and
so many Of the men were sick and
1t was hard to keep the boats bow
into the wind"

The other member of the crew was
Sergt. Robert P. Edwards, Frank

clared the submarine was wrecked
and that he saw no survivors.

Air Force under the command Of

Hondurian Liner Sunk.
The torpedo sinking Of a Hon.
duran passenger liner on March 1t
of the New Jersey coast with a
probable loss of A lives was also
disclosed by the Third Naval Dis
trict. Six battered survivors reached
here Thursday.
The A missing persons were 81
crew members and II passengers
three women, two girls, 7-year- -old
boy and six men.
A single torpedo blasted into the
port side of the vessel just below
the bridge at 8:45 p. m. CE. w. To-
sinking the ship in three minutes
It was the first Honduran ship lost
In the war. Six South American
ships have been torpedoed.
The six survivors, who we're res
cued a day later and landed in
Brooklyn, told naval officers this
story:
When the ship was struck various
members Of the crew succeeded in
getting two life RATS into the water
No life boats could be launched be-
cause of the list of the ship. The
third mate, Timothy c. OBrien, got
on one raft as it was floating OIL
the vessel, with several other men,
bers Of the. crew.
Picked Up Others.
"They had hardly showed of when
the boat went down. They picked
up some other men who were SWIM
ming in the water. Another raft
was also in the water and onto it
climbed nine people. There were
eight members of the crew and a
7-year- -old boy on the second raft.
This raft was beside the submarine
when the submarine broke the sur
face and they were forced to keep
pushing away from the side of the
undersea boat to avoid smashing up.
cable Seaman Ruben Saavedra
Of Honduras said the captain of the
submarine asked what vessel he had
sunk, its tonnage and cargo. The
survivors said he spoke good English
and Saavedra gave him the infor-
nation requested.
1.-The submarine fingered around
the scene Of the sinking for about
10 or Is minutes and then sub
merged. The life raft Saavedra was
on was too crowded so he changed
to the other raft.
THE first night on the life raft
was not so bad, since there was
plenty Of water and food, but the
next morning rain fell and the sea
got rough. The six survivors were
picked up at $40 pm. March 49,"
The second raft on which were
the eight persons including the
7-year-old boy was not picked up.
It Was not seen after 8 pm. Tuesday.
Torpedoing by Axia submarines pf

Srgoinsville, Tenn, won praise
from the survivors for his action
in remaining in the engineroom
long enough to reverse and stor
the engines In order to make the
ship lose enough headway for safe
launching of the lifeboats.
None Of the survivors reported
seeing the submarine. One Of the
men landed at Norfolk was James
Bloom, an oiler, Of Baltimore.

Martha's popularity.

her on Martha's success at school
Stella was gratified. During the next
school program she sat beaming with
pride-both girls were smiling and
confident.
"The twins look just alike now" she
told Henry that night.
They were more nearly alike once

When the twins were running about,
Stella's constant Partially made Mar
tina unhappy and rebellious. The re-
sulting nervous tension interfered with
the child's digestion. Soon, her spindly
legs and apologize attitude, made
Martha no match for the well-nour-

security Of her mothers favor.
Although identical, the twins were
decidedly different when they started

bashful to speak.

Martha burst out.

emphatically.

house on the edge of town. Twin girls
had been born in the night. Young

the cooperative creamery. There was
not much spare money even for one
baby.

mother. lighting the fire under the

II could take one Of the twins home

She lived In neighboring town.
II would be lonesome with only one
baby" objected Stella, rather lamely.
When they were alone, she inquired
anxiously, isn't there some other way,
Henry?"
I'm afraid not. Hiring help is out
Of the question, and mother has to go
home. Dad isn't well, you know"
So they decided to send one Of the
twins with Grandma Watson.

Honey Helpinxs
Remember that the acidity of fruits
vary, especially apples. rhubarb and
cherries. Never use as much honey to
sweeten fruit sauces or pies as you
would sugar, or else you will drown the
flavor of the fruit. If in trying new
recipes containing honey you find that
you have destroyed the flavor Of the
fruit, it is most certain that you have
used too much honey. Simply reduce
the amount of honey ingredient in
proportion to the rest of the ingredi-
ents. Mild light colored honey will
never drown a fruit flavor If you use
it with discretion. The reason that it
is very concentrated and one does not
need to use great deal of it to
sweeten fruit, ETC.. makes it very eco
nomical to use.

CARE IN WASHING WOOLENs

Good housekeepers have always IN
cluded blanket washing as part Of their
spring cleaning, but this year they will
be more careful than ever, because
conservation Of our household posses
sions has a new meaning. With the
proper care in laundering, blankets
should come out of the wash soft.
clean and with only the smallest
amount of shrinking. This shrinkage
will be even less if pre-shrunk blan-
ketS have been bought.
