Fliers here tonight advanced but
one idea to account for the complete
disappearance of Harry G. Hawker
and his Sopwith plane. This is that
the unfortunate little craft was forced
into the ocean within an hour or two
of its start from this coast, and sank
almost Immediately.
Complaint continued today against
the service of the British air force
meteorological division, which was
charged with fiye-hours' delay in
relaying to this point storm warnings
which might have caused Hawker to
postpone his unfortunate flight until
conditions were more propitious.
Undaunted by the Sopwith's disap-
pearance, members of the other

From Harbor. Grace came word that
the Handley-Page superbomber would
be in the air within 10 days.

narrowing experience.
The crew. when picked up by the

We proceeded on the source, being

wind was in different direction on
the surface Of the water than it was
above, and also that the fog was more
dense at the lower altitude.
I'VE made good landing on the
sea, which was rough and choppy
with heavy swells. The strong wind
continued until we were picked up.
AT 6 D. m, Greenwich time.) we
sighted the masts of the Ionia on
its way to Fayal and Gibraltar above
the horizon. We were unable to see
the hull of the lonia and. as she did
not nave wireless, we were unable 10

About this time the lonia sighted us

one prnhibitionist voted for adoption.

democrats and 10 republicans.

the resolution on previous ballots,
, did not vote to-day.
Both Republican Leader Mondell
and Democratic Leader Clark asked

GERMANS GET
WEEK MORE IN
WHICH To REPLY
They Ask for Committee to De-
eide Economic Questions
CLAIM THEY'LL NOT SIGN
They Urge That Austria-Hungary
Should Be Held to Same Respon-
sbllity AS They

London, May 22.--It is apparent
from forecasts in the German press
that one of the principal points of the
German reply to the peace terms will
be proposal to institute a joint
committee of representatives OF both
sides with a neutral president to de-
eide economic questions. The Ger
mans will also seek the appointment
OF a similar committee to determine
the damage to Belgium and France.
The reply will protest because the
treaty did not consider the damage
done Germany.
1t will be urged that Austria-Hun-
gary, having been Germany's ally,
should be held to the same response
bility as Germany.
Paris, May 22.-Seyen days are
granted the Germans before the time
limit for the submission of replies to
the allied peace terms expires, but
they will not be devoted exclusively
to note drafting, but will be employed
at Berlin to quiet agitations there,
say local papers.
Paris, May 21.-The Council of
Four this evening extended for one
week, or until May 20, the time with
in which the German plenipotentiar-
les must submit observations on the
peace treaty. The time limit would
have expired tomorrow. The Ger
mans represented that they were un-
able to prepare their memoranda on
the treaty within the limit set.
The Germans have given notice OF
their intention to submit six notes in
addition to the requesting time. These
deal with labor. reparations Alsace.
Lorraine, the Eastern boundary adj
justment occupied territory. and the
disposition of German property. ,i
The Allies are not disposed to make
concessions. but the decision to give
the Germans more time indicates thai
they are willing to provide every op
portunity for the Germans to present
. their case. .of,r,e ys

CORN OIL REPLACES
OLIVE FOR COOKING
High Burning Point Makes 1t Super
ior for all Cooking Purposes
and Kitchen Uses.
(By Edwin +. Bowers, M. d.

America has made another import
ant discovery. This time it has to 90
with an essential article of food-the
lack of which,, during the war, was
found to work a greater hardship
upon a population than the depriva-
ton OF any other variety of food form.
This nutritive substance is fat. The
particular fat which has been evolved
by the American food experts into an
indispensable article of food is the oil
derived from the germ OF corn.
1t has been found that this oil is
unusually rich in lecithin, considered
by many Psychologists as one OF the
most important tonics, restoratives,
and tissue-builders known to science.
Lecithin is dominant element in the
tat that goes to make up brain and
nerve cells, and has very decided eff
fect in increasing nutrition. Corn oil
is digested and assimilated more readi-
i!y than almost any other variety OF
tat-either animal or vegetable.
In addition. however, corn oil has
valuable culinary uses, particularly
because of the fact that the burning
point of this oil is SO much higher
than that of other oils or animal fats.
Corn oil stands temperature of six
hundred and fifty degrees before it
burns; whereas butter, for instance,
burns at two hundred and fifty de-
grees, goose grease at four hundred
lard at tour hundred and twenty-five,
cotton seed oil at five hundred and
thlrty-flve, and olive oil at six hundred
degrees.
1t is the low burning property of
animal fats that makes irving with
meal-time in most kitchens. For the
degree of heat generated by gas, gaso-
line, coal, wood, or electricity aver
ages about two thousand degrees.
The higher burning point of corn
Oil, on the contrary, lends itself ad-
mirably to modern cooking methods,
as 1t makes it possible to cook the
TODD quickly, and at higher tempera-
ture, without, at the same time, burn
ing and soaring the food.
No Kitchen Odors With Corn Oh
Cooking.
Meat, fish, or odoriferous vegetables
cooked in corn oil, are quickly sealed
over on their surfaces. This forces
them to retain their flavors and odors

cooking with quick burning fats.
