FLIGHT IN MAY
Navy Experts Are Racing
Against France and Eng
land for Honors.

American navy experts are racing
against those of France and Eng
land to capture the honor of the
first transatlantic air flight.
But 1t is clear that the United
States will not be stampeded into an
unsuccessful flight against heavy
weather odds. French and British
airmen are feverishly working to
get off Immediately on the adven-
ture. American navy officials are
going slowly and will not fly until
weather conditions are at their best.
This probably will be early in May.
Present plans, disclosed partially
by Acting Secretary OF the Navy
Roosevelt. are to get all set for the
flight about May / and then wait for
advantageous weather.
The flight probably will be on a few
hours notice. Air experts will gauge
storm conditions around Newfound-
land and time their start accordingly.
so as to dodge the squalls.
Destroyers will be stationed every
200 miles along the projected course.
BY radio they will be in constant
touch with destroyers. and instant no.
tice will be given OF any serious mis-
hap. A destroyer would be within
four or five hours of the seaplane at
all times. Acting Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt said in discussing
tentative plans.

Says corns stop hurting, then
lift right off without
one bit of pain

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is needless,
says a Cincinnati authority, who tells
you that a quarter ounce of a drug
called freezone costs but a few cents
at any drug store but is sufficient to
rid ones feet of every hard or soft
corn or callus without even one lit
tie twinge Of pain.
You simply apply a few drops of
this freezone on tender, aching
corn and the soreness is instantly
relieved. Shortly the entire corn can
be lifted out, root and all, with your
fingers.
This drug is sticky but dries at
once and Is claimed to just shrivel
up any corn without infiaming or even
Irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin.
If~your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this--Ady.
