The average housewife would hold

of cooking and providing for thirty

Yet this was only one Of the tasks,
and by no means the most Important,
which confronted the organizers OF

The medical department of the air
ministry was early consulted and de-

Then came the problem OF cooking.
and the~R34 has surely the strangest
kitchen existing. Instead Of fixing an
electrical or other usual type of stove.
tic hot exhaust gases from one Of the
motor engines were trapped. and Jed
around a receptacle shaped for boiling
or frying, the heat thus obtained be-
ing sufficient to meet all the require
ments. There were three of these
boilers provided altogether-one In the
fore ear to hold three -pints, and one
in each wing car to hold one and

soups and hot sustaining drinks were
able to be made. ..s,
The type of flying clothing provided
for the crew is another example Of
the attention paid TO detail to give the
fight every chance of success. Each
member Of the ships complement was
provided with two complete suits OF
silk underclothing. Over this, woolen
gear, similar to that provided for sub
marine crews and divers, was worn.

TURNED TO COMMERCIAL USE
Historic Mansion In Mexico City he
modelled and Made Into Typical
American Drug Store.

The conversion of the "HOuse OF
Tiles" in the City of Mexico intoa a typ
irak American drug store marks the
passing of one of the most palatial and
unique structures ever erected in that
city Of interesting buildings. Many
persons in the United States remember
the house as the "Jockey club" the
most exclusive and ar:Stocrltic place
of Its kind In the republic, but for the
past few years 1t has stood on a prom

sponsible for Its exterior coat of tiles.
These latter are of blue, yellow and
white, Moorish IN design, and wore
made by artisans brought from Taln-
Tcra. Spain. by the Dominican frlarS
in the sixteenth century; They were
modelled in special ceramic factory
at Puebla. about Is miles distant, and
the completion Of this. decoration was
the occasion for Il public celebration.
The family Of Don Luis de Rivero,
who later became the count of Orr"
zaba, remained In possession of the
house until tile time of the Inflated
Emperor MaXimilian.. Its last occu.
pant was sister of the then Count
de Orizaba, upon whom the emperor
conferred the title Of marquesa de
Ciria. -
Later the structure was taken over
by the Jockey club and converted in
to sumptuous club house. Stories
Of Fabulous sums won and lost at its
gaming tables persist to this day.
Stirring revolutionary times caused
its abandonment, and for several
years the building was vacant until
the present lessecs secured 1t for
period of twenty years.

by the government to restore IT later

Woman As a Bull, Fighter.


One would have thought Ithat to en-
er into combat with bull demanded
more courage than any member ofthc
.cntler sex possesses. But even this
dangerous calling has had its female
ol!owcr. London Tit-Bits states.
Johanna Maestrick was the name of
he lady in question. Atfan early age
she was taken to see a bull fight in
Portugal. Her feminine snsceptibilities,
far from revolving at the spectacle.
were aroused to q keen desire and de-
termination to emulate the prowess OF
the toreador. A teacher of the art was
30 struck with her keemess. physique
and beauty that he offered to become
her instructor and to train her as
torera. She made her first appearance
In the arena at OportO. The trial
proved that her agility and skill were
equal to her courage, for she quickly
laid out two ferocious bulls and rode
Off in triumph amid thunders Of ap-

"Chillren should stay in school as
long rs possible because education
means better jobs" the federal chill
dr"n's bureau, urges. "Boys and girls
who go to work at the end Of grammar
school rarely get good jobs. The work
thew find to do is usually unskilled;
It offers little training or chance for
advancement. When they are older
they find they are still unframed for
skilled work that offers future. Edu-
cation means higher wages. Many
boys and girls when they leave school
find work that offers high wage for
ii beginner. But these wages seldom
grow because the work requires no
training. A position with future and
steadily increasing wages requires
