Family of SeUento LiUe
 In Garage; Cdu 1t Lucky

Denver, Oct. 28 - CUP) - An empty garage became home today for William and Lillian West, who decided not to give their five chil- dren away after all.
 A plight that seemed to afford no solution but to offer their children for adoption cleared up suddenly when 8 garage was offered them. The Vests, penniless after three weeks packed with tough luck, can use the garage for a home as long as they need 1t.
 West, 45, and his wife, 25, resign ed themselves to the adoption when they found their plans for farm home in the Missouri Ozarks shat tered, their pockets empty and no roof over their heads.
 The offer of the empty garage from MT. and Mrs. I. J. Norland was their first lucky break in long series of bad ones.
 The family left Denver three weeks ago with Vests life savings of $500 and high hopes for the fu-

Louis Bleriot in 1907 was the first to be successful with monoplane and in 1909 proved its worth by crossing the English Channel His flight was hailed by the world as major accomplishment in aviation.

Jean Marie Le Bris, French sea cap-' tain, glided an eighth of mile in machine patterned after an albatross. John J. Montgom- cry rode air currents over the hills of Otay, Cal, as Americas first glider pilot, in 1884.
 (2l The basic principle of jet propulsion, now revolutionizing aviation, was first demonstrated by Hero of Alexandria in 150 B. c. Hero con- structed a hollow sphere with two opposing curved jets. Steam generated inside, escaping through Nhe jets, made the sphere revolve. In 1880 Sir Isaac Newton proposed jet propul- sion method for driving four-wheeled carriage, using steam.

ture. But at Norwood, Mo, West discovered that the farm he had in- tended to buy cost more. than he planned and was in an unfavorable location.
 The move appeared impossible, so the Vests turned back. Mrs. West collapsed at Springfield, Mo, and gave birth to a son-her sixth child. The unexpected arrival of the baby drained the rest of the $500 savings.
 When my wife was in the hosp1- tai at Kansas City" West said, it cost $25 a day for the children and me to live in a hotel.
 And I was foolish enough to give $100 to a fellow who promised he would get me to Denver and then didn't show up."
 MT. and Mrs. West and the chill dren, ranging from 20 months to eight years, returned to Denver, leaving the infant boy in the care of relatives in Kansas City. The family moved in with Mrs. Vests mother, Mrs. Barbara Rivers, in Denver.
 But Mrs. Rivers landlord said the even-mernber family could not live in his house. He served an eviction notice. Then came word from Kan sas City that the newborn child had died.
 West, jobless and without funds, decided with his wife that they had no right to keep their children with Winter approaching and no pros pect for warm clothing, shelter or food. Offering the children for adoption was the only answer. Public Comes to Rescue When news of their situation cir culated through Denver, several families offered to take care of the West children. The Norland family, however, had the spare garage and some spare furniture.
 The Vests predicament was solv- ed in much the same way as that of a young Denver war veteran and his wife who offered to give away their new triplet daughters because of economic trouble several months ago. The public came to the rescue with promises of food and clothing to diSsuade the parents.
 Showered with generous offers West and his wife took heart again
 T can get job easily now that we have place to live" the father said. Things should get better now"
 Thank God we can keep the children" he said

 t1) The Army's big projected flight of B-29's around the world the exploits of planes called Dreamboat and Truculent Turtle, talk of rocket flights to the Moon and waypoints all add up to the sure fact that we are soon to see the most fantastic chapter in the always sensational his- tory of aviation. We are now to witness the climax of mans age-old ambition to conquer space. We have always envied the birds, and as far back as 1496 Leonardo da Vinci designed a flying machine with mechanical propulsion.
