Tool A tricky problem of aircraft pro- duction has been solved by a new portable tool weighing only 21 lbs. On all modern aircraft, thousands of nut plates are used for securing cowlings, fairing strips, inspection panels, instruments, and control runs. Formerly, for every one of these nut plates, three rivet holes had to be marked off and drilled se- parately, a slow and tedious busi- ness. To -day in one swift and simple operation, the new portable tool thrills two holes, accurately spaced and centred. This novel two -spindle portable drill, designed in Britain, is power- ed by the "Mighty Atom” pneumatic motor, many thousands of which are in use in the aircraft factories of Britain, the Empire countries, and the United States, TOMATO CHILI SAUCE 6 ilts. tomatoes S onions 2 green sweet peppers and 2 red sweet peppers chopped fine 2 bunches of celery cut fine 2 cups of vinegar 1 tbsp. mustard 1 tbsp. salt 1 tb. ginger Bring to a boil and then turn elec- tric switch to low or simmer, cook- ing 3 .tours.

ROOSEVELT, PRESIDENT'S MOTHER, DIES The United States joined Presid- ent Roosevelt this week in mourning the death of his mother, Mrs. Sura Delano Roosevelt, who thri('e saw tier only sun inaugurated as presid- ent, (1114 Sunday at the rambling old house which has been. the Roosevelt. Mindy fiunie for 79 years. She would have been 87 September 21. Death was attributed largely to her advanced ye(uw. From all over the world came messages of sympathy for the president. including Otte iruin Premier Mackenzie .ling of r:ilnada. From late Saturday, Mr. Roosevelt and the first lady- had kept a sorrow- ful watch by the bedside of his ember. They were with her when the end came shortly after noon Sunday. Mrs. Roosevelt was buried on Tuesday in the family plot in the churchyard of picturesque St. James Episcopal church. Several genera- tions of Roosevelts have worshipped at the little church, and behind it, under a canopy of aged oaks and elms, is buried the president's father. The president was only 18 when his father, James Roosevelt, died 131 1800, and he and his mother have been exceptionally close. Her home has been his home all his life. Proudly she had seen her son inaug• it rated as the only three -term presid- ent of the United States. Yet she had never quite approved of polities as a career for him. For a person of her age, Mrs. Roosevelt had been in exceptionally good health. Only a week ago she had returned from her summer Monte at Campobello, N.B. 111'0.
