fore announcing loss Of one OF his
majesty's ships.
"At the time of the German an
houncement about H. M. S. Eagle
the Admiralty had no information
kbout survivors. The press was
therefore asked not to publish the
German claim in order to avoid un-
necessary concern.
Request Disregarded.
Since one newspaper has seen fit
TO disregard this request the Board
of Admiralty feels obliged to an
nounce the loss of H. NJ S. Eagle be-
fore they are in position to relieve
the next of kin of their anxiety.
THE Admiralty are able to an
nounce that at least one U-boat op-
Grating in the same area as H. M. S.
Eagle has already been sunk"
The vessel was begun in 1913 as
battleship, the Almirante Cochrane,
ordered by Chile from a British
yard.
Work ceased with the outbreak OF
the World War, and in 1917 the
British purchased her from Chile
and redesigned her as an aircraft
carrier. She was commissioned and
given trials in 1920 but was not
finally completed until 1924. She
was completely refitted in 1882.
The purchase price and other eX-
penditures brought her cost to more
than f4,617 900 (about sl8,500,0 ,000).
AS long ago as January l6, 194l,
the Italians claimed they sank the
Eagle between Crete and Tobruk.
Last June the German radio report
ed an unsuccessful attack on the
vessel off Gibraltar.
Officers and crew of the Eagle
were joyously hailed in June. 1929,
by the whole Spanish nation after
the carrier rescued Maj Ramon
Franco and three companions from
their plane, forced down off the
Azores during transatlantic
flight TO New York.
The plane had drifted for seven
days and the Spanish government
had virtually given up hope for the
men when the Eagle saved them.
Maj. Franco, a brother of General
issimo Francisco Franco was one of
the leaders in the Spanish civil war.

New Kind Of Putty
Recommended for
Loose Window Panes
Comes in Rope Form on
Spool; Stoys PIiobIe
For Many Years
BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

When window panes are loose in
the sash it's a good idea to make
them tight, particularly when the
job can be rendered easy by using a
prepared strip of putty which needs
only to be laid against the glass and
pressed down with a handy roller
appicator.
This new kind of putty, originat-
Ing IN the hothhouse supplies field,
takes all the sickness and messi-
ness out of handling ordinary putty
1t comes in rope form, rolled on a
spool, each rope about one-quarter
inch wire Each order brings with
it the roller-applicator at no extra
charge. A trial tin costs 10 cents for
feet; 100 feet cost 81.
The putty is dark in color, but
dries to dark gray. 1t can be
painted No kneading or working is
necessary. The putty stays pliable

Paint More Thun Decoration

Although decoration is generally
the motivating reason for painting
a house, the prevention OF moisture
absorption by porous surfaces such
as brick, stucco and other cement
mix materials Is equally important.
Frequent saturation is conductive
to surface dusting and unsightly
stains. Upon freezing the moisture
expansion may result in serious
crumbling. Correctly formulated
paint will seal the surface and thus
eliminate the cause for disintegra-
ton and staining.

The best results for painting ce-
