from the way grandma pulled

she'd never have dried her washing
out of doors if she'd known this
would be destructive to colors.

testing all sorts of things that hap

first to toss aside her reputation
for thriftiness in view of scientifis
truths which reveal she wasn't a.,

clearly show that outdoor driving

Then in the late Aj&umn of 1889 Sir

The man suddenly spoke TO me and when

to mehfortaiize him in stone
About six months ago Howard had a
great bereavement which upset him terribly.
He disappeared from public life.
1T was IN his distress that Howard came
TO me and asked me to prepare for him a
symbolic memorial He made it very clear
that he believed that life itself was very
transient and that should have a physi-
cal tangible presentment Of our loved ones

and Portugal work which must have an
noyed the Nazis not a little there was a
backgrounds TO his life that had certainly put
him on the Nazis blacklist
There is now no doubt that several times
this year Howard told his close friends that
he firmly expected to die soon, victim of
enemy action
That is probably why he took the greatest
care before leaving for his Iberan peninsuar
tour to see that all his personal affairs were
in order
But perhaps the strangest feature Of his
premonition OF death came when ne decided
TO have a-hust sculptured- After the most
careful thought, he decided TO 60 to Oscar
Nemon the wcll-known Yugoslav artist
According TO his custom Nemon first
made a plaster mould or cast of the face
Detroit evening times., 1943-08-29

which was to be turned into a bust and later
into full-ength statue. It was when this
cast was finished that Howard said in the
sunlit Kensington studio:
well, it looks fine but somehow or other
/ feel that the bust will be a memorial rather
than an ornament In fact, there steals
across my mind the feeling that even this
cast may turn out to be death mask"
And so it did for before the sculptor could
do any more TO the work of art, Howard was
reported dead
Mr. Nemon later said:
There can be no doubt that Leslie Howard
had deep presentiment that something was
going 70 happen.

What's in q Hangar9

A hangar, says the dictionary, IL
"a shed for storing vehicles, espe-
cially aircraft" But that's about the
only purpose the hangers are NOT
used for at Randolph Field, Texas,
West Point Of the Air. The spa
cious structures house a dormitory,
a mess hall, a skating rink and
dance floor, bowling alleys, an ice
cream parlor, a couple branch post
exchange, courts for basketball, vol
ley ball and badminton. Of course,
most of the hangers are equipped
with machinery for the maintenance
and repair of Randolph's host Of
training planes. But the ships are
taken indoors only when in need Of
tinkering. In almost constant use
by the aviation cadets, the sturdy
ships are moored on the aprons
during the brief intervals when not
in the air.

1t was spring wanderlust that took
one off to Kinsman, Ohio, few
miles from the Pennsylvania bor-
der, a place every Ohioan ought to
know. Dominating the town is its
impressive white-towered church,
set on a hill, a beautiful old grave
yard clustering about it, surrounded
by some of the most gorgeous trees
in the state. Standing up there on
the steps of the old church, its pill
Jared classic facade behind, see

Copied from the Old North church
in New Haven, Conn.,, it is Presby-

of the old time plan of union, writes
Grace Goulder in the Cleveland

early 1905 by one Willis Smith, a
gifted architect and master builder,
who came from Lisbon, Conn,
bringing establishment to Kinsman
and honor to himself.

tendance of as many as $4,000 in

ance, she replied: eve have no
program. We just let the boys do
as they please. We try to make
it as much like home for them as
we can. Our aim is to try to serve
them, rather than to try to enter
tain them. Lots of times they make
their own coffee and sandwiches.
They take the juke box apart when
it doesn't suit them and put it back

Shorthand Islands Speck
On Large Scale World Map

The Shorthand islands, scene of
the sinking of japanese craft clus-
ter like a mother and her five in
fants ten miles south of BUN, Bou-
granville island, the Solomons. The
mother island, which gives its name
to the group, itself is mere speck
on even large-scale map. An
American marine could span it afoot
in about two hours. In its small
area, however, hills, densely wood
ed, rise to 700 feet above the sea.
The smaller islands are relatively
low.
The islands cluster so closely that
channels between them are narrow.
To add to the hazards of navigation
there are many reefs. Nature, how
ever, balanced these hazards with
the good shelter and holding ground
in Shorthand harbor Within the har-
Dor is the Island of Faisi, from
which public affairs were admin
istered under the British protecto-
rate. Faisi was one of the leading
ports of the Solomons. It had 49,
foot wharf, with water Is feet deep
alongside. Settlements on Shorthand
are small and scattered. Coconut
plantations were well developed on
some of the islands and production
of copra was the chief source Of
employment. A British steamship
company maintained a branch office
and storage facilities on Faisi.
