Powers, insists that this is the best
way to outwit the ultra violet thief
and says:
Although my swanky black bottle
bearing question mark and an
enigmatic label is temptation to
exhibit on my dressing table I don't
take chancos.'
To lock bottle against leakage
and evaporation, Pat says twist the
stopper tightly until you've lined
up the thread with the ground

Warren Brown, 6. N. Aids In Capture
Of Germon U-Boot sos (Junior)

Home with an honorable dis
charge from the Navy, Warren
Brown, Gunner's Mate SIC, has
many interesting adventures to dis
cuss which occurred during his
three years of active duty.
The most interesting of these was
the capturing of the German U-boat
sos (Junior) off the cost of the
Cape Verde Islands.
The task force consisting of the
USS Guadalcanal and her five es-
cort destroyers, the Pillsbury, Pope
(of which Brown was crew mem
ber), Chatelain, Flaherty and jerks,
all less than a year old, made Naval
history when they captured the u
boat sos, the first time in our his
tory since 1915 that foreign enemy
man-of-War has been boarded and
captured on the high seas. On June
3, 1914, the U-505 was taken off the
coast of the Cape Verde Islands, and
towed to Bermuda, 2525 miles away.
This destination was chosen, as the
officials in charge felt the secret
VI kiiC NdplalC AoAld illOA easily bS
kept there, than at some closer port.
Members of the boarding party
received the Navy Cross, while all
other members of the force task
received Unit Citation.
Since the end Of the war, the
secret of the capture of the SUBJ
marine has been released, and an
article in the Saturday Evening
Post of August 4 l945 explains its
Importance and gives thrilling de-
tails.
Although the task force with
which Brown was connected did its
share in the sinking of enemy subs,
it was the above feat which gave
them the biggest thrill.
Gunner's Mate Brown entered
boot training in September, 1912,
at Great Lakes. Following this he
went on convoy duty to Casablanca,
making three trips there during six
months Of this service. He went on
destroyer duty from June, 1913, un-
til September 1914, when he at
tended school in Texas and Wash
ington, d. c., for about four months.
Duty on the Aircraft carrier Boxer
was assigned him, which service he
had until his discharge in Septem-
Der. Two days prior to the sailing
of the Boxer from the western U.
S. coast, Warren received his dis
charge.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown will make
their home in Libby again, where
he has employment.
