be used before they start to dry, and
the head containing the seeds may
be, used after the yellow blossom
changes into seed. The seed may be
used dry but not the leaves. This

from its usual association with vine-

cucumbers which have been chilled.

minutes in sour cream: add salt

chopped onion and very little water.

New Kind of Face Powder

her age? Would you say she is 90

CHILD PROBLEM.
(Thanks to Mrs. E. S. ~,
ADVICE ON CURTAINS?
REQUESTED by Mrs. L. A. S.,
WASHINGTON.

W1ShtngtOn.)
In reply to Mrs. H. A. S., Airing
ton: Your baby is growing up and
has found that cries bring certain
results. It is the only way she knows
of telling you that she wishes COM
pany and, I would say, give it to
her! Isn't there some way you can
have her in the play pen or high
chair to watch you while you 60
about doing certain things? I am
the mother of Ave and have been
told that babies need love and If
their behavior is such that they try
to get attention, it Is proof that
they are developing so their needs
are greater than at first. My first
child I let scream for hours, too,
and he does not have the sense OF
security and being loved as I hope
I have given the others; now that I
have learned it is necessity, not
necessarily spelling.
Sometimes the radio turned on
softly will keep the little one quiet
when left alone. Always explain to
her that you will be back in a few
'minutes-she will soon learn what
those words mean and be content.
I now have 9-month -old twins and
naturally they get a lot of attention
from the neighbors and friends, but
they will take great deal of my
time for just plain loving, and
hope can arrange to give them
enough until they are able to play
together and amuSe each other.

been skipper of the Washakie since
its launching in 1912, the Congress
ma told neWsmen.
Noting short of grossly careless
Inspection Magnuson asserted,
could have permitted launching of
such a dangerously faulty vessel.
This ship, according to the testi.
mony of her master, has not been
reprinted since coming from the
yard. The yard is Henry ]. Kai-
ser's Oregon Shipbuilding Corpor-
alton at Portland.
Whether the ship cracked open
because of-or in addition to-the
hidden crack launched with her
hull is for the experts to determine.
But the fact that the old crack,
hidden by putty and paint, even
existed is damning evidence of un-
believable carelessness.
The Truman committee will,
am sure, pursue this vigorously"
Captain Graham said "the crack
was in the second plate below the
sheer strake on the port side. 1t
was almost through the plate, was
one-eighth of an inch wide and
about "a inches long"
THE fracture which broke the
ship apart he added, 'either
came from, or came to, this solid
crack which was filled with red
lead putty and hidden by hull

Officer Who Flew 1t
Sings The Praises
OF New Rocket Plane
Continued from Page One)

It's speed possibilities and per.
Torrance at high altitude will
make it valuable for combat pur-
poses. Our pilots will find no trou-
BILE in operating these planes"
Chidlaw said he had two distinct
sensations in flying the jet-propel-
led ship-lack of noise and absence
in vibration, He added that II
don't mean to imply that the plane
is noiseless or that it flys with
the speed of sound" but that the
elimination of propellers and the
fact that the noise from propul-
sion was to the rear made for
quietness in the cockpit.
Zone of the causes of pilot fati-
que has been attributed to the
thunder of the air blast from pro-
pellers and the roar of high-power-
ed aviation engines. The absence
of vibration should produce sew
eral advantages, including ease
of handling of the aircraft, especi-
ally in tight maneuvers and by
reducing wear and strain on struc-
ture, machinery and Instruments
Chidlaw said that while the first
flight in this country of jet-pro-
PEELED plane was made about a
year ago, the operations were kept
very secret" until the recent an
nouncement.
'1t was deemed propituous, how
ever, at this time,' he added, ito
make a public news announcement
of the jet-propulsion plane. While
the German technique of propa.
ganda in announcing new and Sc
cret weapons of war is to terrorie
and brighten the enemy, our rea.
son, however, for making it public
now is prompted by motive that
only a free people can understand.
"Your sons will some day fly
these planes. You are entitled to
know, within the bounds Of nations
al security. that all our resurces
are still at work to turn out bet
ter planes and better equipment
to make our Allied air forces the
