Hoehling asserts that she was sabotaged. Hitler and Goering gagged the inquiry to prevent the world knowing that enemies of the Nazis had triumphed. A rigger on board was tall, blond Erie Sphel, 26, from Gos- chweiler Baden, who had flown on the previous year's trips. A moody sort of fellow. he was the one crew member whom none of his shipmates seemed to know. Yet before the airship set out en its last fateful voyage he had been unusually exuberant and had often been seen in the company of a brunette with deep-set, brooding eyes. She was a regular patrol/ of semi -clandestine drinking places frequented by Communists and ethers of the resistance n-nve- ment. Sphei. with chief rigger Lud- wig Knorr and rigger Freund, had regular access to the axial catwalk that tunnelled through Cell 4. He was the cast. man on rigger wat:h, and at 6 p.m. Knorr relieved Shim to go to his land- ing station in the bow. Al .1st InlmediateIy Knorr dis- o. eyed sei e thing wrong with Cell 4—exactly what can never be knowr, for he died in the wreck.

Knorr was a trusted veteran, Freund also a loyal. solid crew- man, But what of the secretive Spehl? At seventeen he had gone to Matkdorf, near Friedrichschafen, and worked for three years as a saddler's apprentice. Then, unable to find employ - meet, he'd wandered from town to town for two years doing odd jobs and served a year in a Reich labour corps with its cold Nazi efficiency and brutal discipline. Glad to be a wandering labour. er again, he returned to Lake Constance in 1933, got •5 job at the Zeppelin works, helping to maintain the Graf Zeppelin and to build the Hinderbuirg, and in 1936 joined its crew, When not flying his one hobby was photography, He had a dark- room in Frankfurt with time - clock and,otherequipment, and often brought valuable cameras on board, Then ... his infatuation for the brunette with her under- ground connections . . . his ab- normal behaviour, Hoehling deduces that Spehl secreted in Cell 4 a small device comprising a JAZ -volt dry -Cell battery—of which remnants were found—connected to a' flash bulb and pocket watch tinted to ex- plode it shortly after landing. but a short circuit or other fault .exploded it prematurely. He was a tool of anti -Nazi plotters. Hoehling bolsters the theory with other evidence, and one trusts it is conclusive, otherwise he ekes a grave inheetice to Speed—who died in the disaster —and to SpehI's family.

Prof. Josef Fox collected more than 80 35±fere: t ntieepellings of the weed "bourgeoisie" front ex- • amir.ing papers in hi s human - :Wes class at the- State College of Iowa. Fox was annoyed, Ins- itis: hIy, because three-fourths of the class had net learned to span the word ecrre.ctiy after weeks of exposure to it. orally and in print. -What fascinates us is the 11a - tura of the misspellings. In ear- lier tirees, the comical miss•peil- ngs of .thet. ig ,rant were often • quite teecurat.e phonetic .tran- seriptions of the way they talk- ed. Not so these inyertOus mod- ern m:sspellers, who went in for such mrr.stresities as "bottre- gouies "bourgeosis' and "burogioes." As spelling, their efforts were atrocious. But as cemmunrcatian, even the worst attempts were curiously apt. T h e students could recognize the word with- out fail, and they could produce a set of letters which was un- mista.kably intended to repre- sent the word.- Fox had no trou- ble knowing what they meant, though he shuddered at the re- sults. It is not the fault of the stu- dents who took the tests. They probably are victims of those new ways of spelling which have taken the place of pure phonics, Any good funic speller would know in a moment that "bour- geoisie" is spelled either "bourg- wazt ," or maybe "boorgwazee," depending on where you put the aksent. The prcper way to spell "boorzhw:azee" is obvious from the sounds for anyone who has studied foniks. The more we try to spell the word the surer we are of one thing. It is not proper American usage and tea one should be try- ing to spell it. It is a term of ridicule for shopkeepers, used by soshalitts to encourage' re- volutions.

How Can 1? By Roberta Lee Q. Bow can I "rejuvenate" a limp and lifeless tape measure? A. Place between sheets of waxed paper, and then press over it lightly with a medium- warm iron. Q. What is a formula for a good "homemade" ink eradica- tor? A, Whip up a solution of one p a r t of chlorinated laundry bleach and 10 parts of water. Keep this in an old iodine or mercurochrome bottle with a rubber stopper to withstand the destructive effect of the bleach, and with a glass rod as an appli- cator. Use it along with a blot- ter, just as with commercial eradicator—and don't, of course, expect this to work on typewrit- er ink. Q. What can I do when the glaze begins to wear off chintz, as it does after a few washings? A. This can be restored profes- sionally. But you can produce a pretty slick glaze yourself by dipping the chintz into a thin solution of clear starch to•which a small amount of wax has been added. Use paraffin or candle wax, and stir it thoroughly into the hot starch solution. never recognized revolutions af- ter the 1776 one.
