It happened one 22 September
1914 : A German submarine sinks three British ships in 1 hourOn September 22, 1914, the German submarine U-9 sank three British cruisers in one hour. 1,400 mariners were killed. The English who had not believed in the effectiveness of submarines, quickly changed their minds. Paradoxically, by sinking American ships to prevent the supply of the Allies the Germans will push the Americans, until now neutral, to declare war and this support will increase significantly. |

1975 : Second assassination attempt on President Gerald FordOn September 22, 1975, two weeks after a first assassination attempt in Sacramento, California, President Gerald Ford escaped a gunshot from a former FBI informant in San Francisco, thanks to a bystander, Oliver Sipple , a former Marine and Vietnam veteran. For the record, the White House had been reluctant to publicly thank Sipple for saving the life of the President because the former Marine was gay. |

Tip of the Day : 22 September
Clean patio or balcony tilesTo clean patio or balcony tiles, take a bucket of warm water, add soap and baking soda and clean with a mop. Then rinse with water and a bit of white vinegar. If the soil is very dirty, it can be cleaned with pure white vinegar. It is better to avoid using a pressure washer which would remove the enamel of the tiles and deteriorate them irreparably. |
