BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

'Once upon . time" / knew q
woman Of 60 who was suddenly
bereft OF her husband and q most
adequate income literally "at one
full swoop." Her sole possessions
after q lifetime of plenty was her
home and garden. $50 q month, and
two servants, q man and woman.
who looked to her for their living.
You or might solve the problem
by selling the house, by developing
the garden, by raising chickens or
some other enterprise. But at so
ones home is important, new busi-
ness ventures are difiicult for a
sheltered woman, and anything
other than the accustomed way Of
living causes great unhappiness:
This gentle lady solved her prob
lem by giving up all things which
were not essential to her happiness
or well-being and taking such per
feet care Of her possessions with the
help of her aged servants that they
lasted through the 20 remaining
years of her life.
Time TO Consider.
Possibly one needs to be 90 to
see as clearly as she did-and maybe
things are easier to do without at
that age-but most Of us waste our
money and time on things which
have little meaning and bring so
few returns in either good living
or happiness 1t might be interesting
to find out how many things we
could do without, especially as u
probably will be necessary that We
do without them anyway.
Here Is the way in which she
planned her 40 years" in which
me included the lives of her serv-
ents. Taking stock of her home,
which was large-including eight
rooms as well as the servants wing
on the first fioor-she decided that
it would be best to save the strength
of all three by using only the first
floor Of the house. Into her living
room she moved all her choice pos

Readjusts Luxury.
We all know how much even the
very little things we must do with
out can hurt, II II Is something we
want badly. Very large and i'm
portant things. such as car. q
cruise or lavish entertaining, may
be given up without q thought II
they have no personal importance.
Importance" does not necessar-
lily mean not having food enough {;
1t may be merely the difference
between tea with lemon and just
plain tea. Luxury does not mean
ermine and diamonds but q fire on
your hearth and violets on your
shoulder or any other small detail
that 1t pains you to do without. In
cutting out non-essentials decide
what Is vital to you for q good life
and act accordingly.

Extension Allows
Ladders 10 Be Used
On Flight Of Steps
~ HILsoN MUNsEY.

~ Ahk1CotN
The Htepladder was m improve
ment On the ordinary ladder for
certain purposes. The ordinary lad
der needed support-like . wall--to
make It useful. but often thsre was
no wall that could be used conven-
iently. 70 some one devised \ ladder
that carried its own support. That
was the stepladder. But even this
improvement was not all that was
needed 10 make the ladder Alto
eether usable. Frequently. the sur
face that was available for the sup
port Of the stepladder was uneven.
One such place was on . night OF
steps.
To overcome this last stepladder
requirement, an extension onto the
front legs has been added by q
manufacturer. This extension In
creases the length OF the front
legs by Is inches and enables the
user TO put the ladder on a flight
of steps and use II with safety.
There are eight adjustments pos
sible within these IS inches. 1t Is
easy TO see what possibilities there
are In this arrangement. For paint
ing the front porch. for example. the
legs Of the ladder can be extended
20 that the ladder can be placed
with its front legs on one step and
its back legs on q higher one; thus
enabling the painter to work COM
fortably on the apron under the
shingles.
II also can be used on q roof that
has q pitch Of not more than Is
degrees. This saves the necessity Of
mailing blocks on the shingles to
hold the ladder In place. and avoid
the risk OF damage when the blocks
are removed. 1t also enables the
painter or the workman to use the
tool platform that Is part Of
every modern stepladder.
The ladder also is useful In stair
wells when the walls need clean
ing. These ladders are made In two
sizes--5 and feet. The wood used
n spruce with reinforced steps fin-
ished In . hight natural maple and
nlled and vanished. The extern
sion Is of cold-rolled steel. with
rubber footplates, and 1t is nickel
plated to q dull finish. The steel
extensions can be removed when
the ladder Is needed as an ordinary
stepladder.
Here Is q new type Of hot-water
tank. It la made with an hydraulic
stone lining inside q steel casing.
The lining Is . quarter Of an inch
thick and viii prevent any danger
Of rusty water due to the corrosion
Of iron.
The connections on these tanks
are made OF bronze, and the vertical
tanks are supplied with legs of
suitable length. The steel shell is
finished with q coat of gray enamel,
baked on. Each tank has written
guarantee for 20 years Of service.
There are eight tanks stocked
with capacities ranging from "A to
$50 gallons-the smallest having q
diameter OF IL inches and q length
OF feet and the largest having
length of "a inches. The stone ma
terial In the tank acts TO con-
siderable extent as insulation to
prevent the loss OF heat In the
stored water. These tanks are par
ticularly useful In districts where
the water has a corrosive effect
on metal.

Naval relics and trophies of five
wars, including British 24-pounder
gun captured at Lake Champlain
and two torpedoes from an interned
German submarine, will be donated

The Navy today said that the

Al 900 pounds of brass and bronze.
In addition, miscellaneous equip

what to keep. Illustrative of the

Jap Broadcast Reports
Capture Of Four
More u. 5. Flyers
Name of One Corresponds
To Thot of Member
Of DooIittIe Purty

The War Department today said
it had no definite information to add
to second Toxic broadcast last
night reporting four more Ameri-
can flyers are being held prisoners
in Japan.
The name of one of the four
men, George Barr, corresponds to
that of 1t. George Barr, Queens
Village, Long Island, N Y, identified
in an official War Department list
of Army flyers taking part with Brig.
Gen. James H. Doolittle in the raid
on Japan April 10. That list was
published the following day.
1t is understood from reliable
sources. however, that 1t. Barr has
been reported missing since the raid
President Roosevelt refused todav
to say whether the United States
would engage in reprisals if Japan
carried out threats for severe pun
ishment of captured flyers.
He told questioners at a press con-
ference he would leave that ques-
ton to the State Department for
the time being because he might
get in too deep if he attempted
any detailed discussion.
The names of the other three men
mentioned by the Toxic radio, G. E.
Folmar, j. Vilgar and Charles j.
Myking, are not known to the War
Department. No name in the list
of the Toxic raiders corresponds to
them.
The Associated Press reported yes
terday, however, that two of its cor
respondents had heard through the
Shanghai grapevine that five of Gen.
Doolittle's pilots were prisoners in
Japan and that three other Amer
ican members of the AVG in China
also were prisoners
Secretary of War Stimson said at
his press conference yesterday that
four of Gen. Doolittle's men may be
in japanese hands, and the addition
of 1t. Barr to this list would ac-
count for the fifth Army flyer be-
lieved to be prisoner.
