Freshen Grass With
Fertilizer in Fall

Late August or September is the
best season to give lawn grass a
lift" After the hard summer sea.
son. some refreshments in the way
of fertilizer. and possibly lime, is
called for. Thin stands Of grass are
particularly in need Of help. If your
lawn has not been lined in the last
few years. it is suggested that you
apply so to IS pounds Of ground
limestone per 1000 square feet.
This will sweeten the soil and make
II possible for the grasses to respond
better to fertilizer treatment.
The addition of 10 to 20 pounds Of
fertilizer per 1000 square feet Of
lawn will do wonders. Fertilizers
such as 5-10-5, 4-12-8 or those Of
similar ratios are well adapted for
thickening lawn grasses. Uniform
distribution can be obtained by
spreading the material in two di-
rections. Measure out half Of the fer
tilizer needed for the lawn and
spread it in north-south direction.
Then spread the other half in an
east-west direction, and there should
be little difficulty in getting even
coverage.
Lawns given tonic in the manner
described soon will assume a good
healthy color and develop a dense
stand Of grass. Lawns composed Of
dense turf will resist invasion by un-
desirable weeds such as crabgrass,
buckhorn and dandelion.

Learn of Largest Flying
Boat Built by Germans

HAMBURG. = The German air
craft industry had completed the
worlds largest flying boat, only to
have it destroyed by American fight
er planes, had tried unsuccessfully
to replace buzz bombs with cheap
er glide-bombs, and had at least one
new high altitude fighter ready for
production when the surrender
came.
The mammoth seaplane was a
100-ton, six-engine monster built by
Blohm and Voss in 1943 from plans
drawn by DR.. Vogt for an ultra-long
range reconnaissance craft for use
over the Atlantic. 1t was about Is
tons heavier than the Martin Mars,
currently the biggest American
plane, and half the weight of the
200-ton Kaiser Hughes flying boat
now nearing completion at Culver
City, Calf.

Helps Hubby Who
Lost Four Limbs
Saws She Finds Problem of
Aiding Soldier Simple.

BATTLE CREEK. - Soldiers at
Percy Jones hospital have become
accustomed to seeing pretty dark
haired girl with quick smile and
southern accent, sitting in the cor
rider of their ward.
When she isn't there, they know
she is in the room with her husband,
M/Sgt. Frederic Hensel, the first
soldier to lose parts of all four
limbs in battle in this war.
She is Jewell Hensel, attractive
girl from the Kentucky hill country.
The soldiers know what she didn't
that Sergeant Hensel will get well
faster because of her and that there
are women who, because they can't
take it, aren't much help to their
wounded husbands.
81 didn't know there were wives
like that" she commented with hon.
est surprise. Then she added, rather
Indignantly for her, II don't see
why there should be. They are the
same men who went away. Inside
they haven't changed bit.
"You marry for better or worse,
don't your" she asked, land when
you have trouble you have it togeth-
err"
Tall and slender, Mrs. Hensel has
long, wavy brown hair, big brown
eyes and high cheekbones, which
probably come from her Cherokee
Indian ancestors a few generations
back.
Both the Hensels grew up on Ken
lucky farms-the sergeant, an or
phan, lived with relatives in his
youth. Eight years ago he joined the
army, and five years later returned
to Corbin, KY, to marry Jewell
Carly.
It was on June 2, after he had
been overseas since March, 1914,
that Hensel stepped on an anti-tank
mine on Okinawa. The explosion
blew off both legs, his left arm
above the elbow and injured his
right forearm so that it, too, had to
be amputated.
To her the problem of helping her
husband is very simple she acts
the way she feels. But first off, she
doesn't think about herself.

Jap Trick Shown Up by
Yank Who Knows Babies

WITH THE MARINES.-An alert
marine sentry who knew there was
a right way and a wrong way to
carry a baby, was responsible for
capturing Jap soldier attempting
to infiltrate through our lines on
Okinawa.
Warned to be on the lookout for
Jap troops posing as civilians, the
sentry became suspicious when he
noticed how awkwardly an infant
was being carried by its mother"
When he halted the mother" he
discovered that "she" was q Jap
soldier trying to slip through the ma
rine lines.
The Japs have been going to
elaborate lengths to masquerade as
civilians, but the use of an innocent
baby as an aid to the disguise is
the newest device, according to the
report Of SfSgt. Ray Fitzpatrick, a
USMC combat correspondent.

Lynn Says:

Make Meals Good: No family
enjoys eating the same, same
foods every meal. It's a good idea
not to repeat dishes more than
once every three or four weeks.
Even favorite foods get monoto-
nous when served too. regularly.
To get contrast in every meal,
follow the basic seven charts to-
see that you get in all different
types of foods.
In planning meal, have, some
things crisp, others soft, and still
others hard: For example, meat
can be the "soft'' food, while
broccoli or salad add the crisp
ness, and rolls are the hard"
part. a
Try to combine colors, too.
Caulifower, potatoes and creamed
chicken may all be good, but they
don't stimulate the appetite.
However, consider the colorful-
ness of creamed chicken with
french fried potatoes and peas
with carrots.
There should also be a COM
bination of hot, and cold dishes.
Even with a salad luncheon, the
hot foods can be soup and coffee.
Some cooked, some raw is an
other good rule. Be sure to have
a salad--a big one, too, If you
are having roasted meat, cooked
vegetables and pie or pudding,

Father, Daughter
Commit Suicide,
Leap From Bridge
Child Obeys Parental Order
In Blind Faith and
Dives to Death.

SAN FRANCISCO. - Five-year-
old Marilyn Demont, obeying in her
childish faith a parental command
to commit suicide, leaped unhesi-
tatingly from the 220-foot high Gold
en- Gate bridge, followed seconds
later by her father, says the United
Press.
The girl climbed the railing of the
windswept span and without look
backward plunged head over heels
into the swirling tides of San Fran
cisco bay where they flow into the
Pacific. 1t appeared she ended her
young life voluntarily, without pro-
test or last-minute: "Why?"
The father, 37-year-old August c.
Demont, a mechanic, left note ex-
planning only that II and my daugh-
ter committed suicide"
Two witnesses to the bizarre
double suicide watched daughter and
father jump in quick succession and
saw the bodies moment before
they disappeared. Coastguardsmen
said after a three-hour search that
the bodies probably were carried
out into the Pacific ocean by the
changing tide.
Marilyn, who would have cele-
brated her sixth birthday in two
weeks, stepped out of her fathers
car and ran quickly to the four-foot
bridge railing near the south tower
of the span, according to two paint
ers, Jack Ricketts, and AL Maloux.
Jumped Voluntarily.
She paused briefly, crawled down
to a girder and then jumped volun-
tarily, they told highway patrolmen.
The father walked about 80 feet
farther along the bridge, poised
himself on the railing and then dived
headlong into the water.
On the seat of the car officers
found a note which said simply:
''This auto belongs to Mrs. A. c.
Demont, 1856 26th street, San Fran
cisco. 1 and my daughter have
committed suicide" the note was
signed "a. c. Demont"
Neither the note nor the dis
traught mother offered any explana-
ton of the tragedy, or any reason
why the child was persuaded to
make the leap.
Psychologists, when told of the
double leap, said it was most I'M
usual for any individual, even as
young as Marilyn, to voluntarily fol-
low instructions which mean de-
Struction.
Took Marilyn Along.
Dement'S wife, Carolyn, said her
husband had been injured several
weeks ago while repairing an eleva-
tor, and had left their home at $3.50
a. m. to go to doctors office and
receive report on his condition.
He insisted on taking Marilyn with
him, despite his wife's protests. An
other daughter, Carol, 8, was home
in bed with the measles.
Demont did not 60 to the doc
tors office, and his wife apparent
1y had a premonition of tragedy as
he left.
When asked if she had expected
such tragic news, she sobbed:
"Oh, yes. knew it, / knew it,
Mrs. Demont and her mother said
the father chad been i'll for some
time" But fellow workmen where
he had been employed for 16 years
described him as efficient, stable
and well liked" and said he had re-
