"We've never had a plane burn It's the insect powder we use in dusting that sometimes explodes" "Phooeyl How can bug powder wanted to explode?" Green-eye- s THE know George laughed "Most of our dusts don't It's just when we use things like pyrethrum and sulphur that we have to be extra careful My brother's testing out a load now" "Expect me to believe that would scoffed explode?" Green-eye- s heard of a flour never "Maybe you mill dust explosion?" George asked "Sure I have But that's different" "It's just the same" George explained impatiently "It happens when there's just the right mixture of air and dry dust Only in a plane there isn't any wall to confine' the explosion like there is in a mill Just the same it's tough on the pilot" Green-eye- s looked uneasily around "You mean the stuff could catch fire from a leaky exhaust on the engine?" he asked in a low voice I change the gaskets too often for them to leak I have to go out and watch my brother now and I'm not supposed to let anyone in here" As they started for the door" something gleaming in the dark under the bench caught George's attention Stooping he found it was a copper gasket like the ones he used on the autogyro Puzzled he laid it on the bench and looked at it closely While it was as bright as new there was the unmistakable imprint of an exhaust manifold face in the soft metal It had been tightened down in a motor then for some reason removed and discarded But why? George turned it over curiously his forehead puckered in a frown of puzzlement He was positive he hadn't thrown it 'there He'd replaced the gasket on the plane yesterday and thrown the old one he took off in the trash bin under his bench Stooping he rummaged through the junk He didn't find any gasket "That's funny" he muttered Then he looked around for his visitor and saw him just disappearing through the door George jumped up and followed His thoughts "were racing now The hangar door he'd —-found ajar —that - now the new greasy handprint and the missbench his gasket under one Maybe the plane's ing old motor had been tampered with after aU!

"ForKet the ship " George replied "I'll take care of it after we get you fixed up" But Lynn fussed so that George asked a friend to watch his brother and went to look at the wreck He was surprised by the small amount of damage the gyro had suffered The parachute effect of the big rotor and the fact that the plane was so close to the ground had prevented serious damage There was only a smashed landing wheel and a bent Pr°P- - A car dashed up just then and George hurried back to the group crowded around his brother A doctor was kneeling beside Lynn "How is he Doctor?" George asked anxiously "I'm his brother" The doctor looked up finally "Your brother's a lucky man" he said "His arm's smashed but aside from a few scratches and bruises that's all I can find wrong Not much to show after a plane sma —" Lynn cut in "How's the ship George? Excuse me Doctor I must know about my ship "The ship s not as badly smashed as you are Lynn" George said sooth ingly "Fix me up so I can tiy tomorrow then" Lynn begged of the doctor "Fly tomorrow?" the doctor exclaimed "Why man you won't do any more flying for weeks" To Be Continued Next Week showj 11 U- t d — nnr tJf Fi—rww - — — --f— 4— — hi £ is-- — — — TJ — O rrris-- W — — — The definitions Acnoss i I" To invite to a contest Concerning 9 Object 10 Within 11 Asiatic ox 15 Ancient 14 Incline 8 16 Tlace 17 Kind of cloth 18 Indian tribe 19 Deed 21 Beast of burden j Before Left end (Abbr) Recompense Upon Broken pieces DOWN i1 Shout leader Chief Musical note Part of the mouth Printers measure il Gold paint Finish Scottish skirts Measure of weight f f Pastry 23 25 26 28 29 : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 12 13 15 16 Vegetable 18 Employer 20 Horse's gait 21 Boy's nickname 22 Kind of meat '24 Half an em (PI) : 26 Post graduate (Abbr) 27 Biblical pronoun o-- - Riddles long time since anyone has sent the Riddle "Man any of those "rhyming" riddles What's the trouble don't they circulate any more?
