screw and care taken that it does
not jump out. If the edge of the slot
of the screw becomes rounded, the
rev should be replaced.
Two Important Principles
There are two engineering prin-
ciples, almost obvious and yet usual
ly overlooked by the beginner,
which must be observed when work
ing with wood. The first of these is
that whenever strength is needed or
there is a load to bear, that area
should be braced with a piece of
wood on edge. The strength of wood
on edge car be illustrated very cas-
lily.
Imagine a board l inch by 5 inch
es long. If this is suspended between
two sawhorses with the flat side up
and someone sits in the center, the
board will break very quickly.
However, if this same board is set
on edge on the sawhorses, and some
one sits on it, there will be no sug-
gestion of breaking. Look at any
building and notice how many times
this basic construction principle of
bracing is used.

Corners very definitely require
bracing. The value of bracing at cor
ners can be shown by tapping two
strips of wood at right angles and
mailing them together in that posi-
ton. These strips can be separated
by grasping the two free ends and
forcing them together. On the other
hand, if a small triangular piece of
wood is fitted and nailed into the
corner, it provides the needed brace
and prevents damage when some
one tries to force the free ends to-
gether.
The second important principle is
that of blocking. A common ex-
ample of blocking can be found in
the rung of a chair. Rungs hold the
legs firmly in position so the weight
of the chair is evenly borne by all
the legs. When a chair loses its
rungs or if they become unglued,
the chair will collapse very easily
Wnen weight is aQQeQ.
The beginner needs to understand
these two principles 50 that if a job
calls for a joint, she can study it
carefully to determine whether
bracing or blocking would provide
greater strength.
Other Helpful Guides
While it is a well known fact that
a comfortable position is essential
to good work, the beginner generally
twists her body into strange posi-
tons when working at such unfa-
miliar operations as mailing and
saving. Unless the worker is COM
Portable and in a position which
allows free use of hands and arms,
the results are less likely to be sue
cessful.

What 1t Would Do

today they hoped to arrange for a
return from Russia of seven lend
lease tankers in time to help ale

Soviet Ambassador Panyushkin
informed the department yesterday
that his government was ready to
return eight ships for which the
United States had asked nearly two

clause of the lend-lease agreement
with Russia.
The ships involved include four
big fast modern To tankers, three
Liberty tankers and one dry cargo
vessel which the United States seized
from Iatly and now wants to return

Offlcials said the Soviet Ambas-
sador's note indicated three of the
T-2 tankers and one of the Liberty
tankers would be ready for delivery
to American crews In foreign ports,
presumably in the Pacific, this
month, with the remainder to be
delivered by mid-March. The Rus
slams used the tankers to transport
oil from the West Coast until such
shipments were embargoed last
summer.
Oficials said the United States is
prepared to negotiate for sale to
the Russians of Sc vessels they OBJ
tanned under lend-lease and are
still using. Discussions will be con-
Quoted as part of the negotiations

Natural Gas Blamed
In First Death Here

A coroner's report today stated
that the death yesterday of Warner
P. Williams, 81, Of the 1900 block Of
Corcoran street NE, apparently was
caused by asphyxiation after inhal-
ing natural gas, in what appeared
to be the Districts first such death
since the city changed from the
manufactured product last spring.
Mr.. Williams, colored, was found
in the kitchen of his apartment with
a tube in his mouth leading to gas
jet on the stove. He had covered his
head with several paper and cotton
bags, police said.
The death was discovered by an
employe of the Washington Gas
g. Light Co., Walter P. Ball of
1125 Maryland avenue NE, who had
been called by occupants Of an ad-
joining apartment to trace a gas
leak.
Officials pointed out death could
be caused by the natural gas be-
cause it removes all the oxygen
from its immediate area. Mr.. Will
liams, they pointed out, had sue
ceeded, through use of the bags. in
shutting off all air about his head.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
said he would not issue certificate
in the death until after further
