TO EAT
NEXT WEEK
By BIppY AVA

One hears few complaints from the
menu makers at this season-that is
from the menu-makers who use their
brains and go to market at least every
other day. OF course the woman who
finds 1t easier to telephone" always
has a hard time to think of things to
eat-ana her husband always has a
harder time to pay the food bills!
But for the marketer-her chief
difficulty these days Is to resist temp
tation to buy more food than is needed
from the rich supplies of fruits and
vegetables offered. For fresh things
though the wise procedure is to buy
small quantities often-not more at a
time than can be used within two days

HAwKER MESSAGE" DOUBTED
Note Found in Bottle Places Him
I'm Berlin.
Special Despafch to THE suS,

WAsHINoroN, May "A "mysteri-
Gus bottle message has been received
from Harry G. Hawker, the British
aviator, whose silence since he leaped
from the Newfoundland coast in his tiny
SopYith. plane. for transatlantic
flight week ago can mean nothing
but his loss at sea The only trouble
with this message, which was reported
to the Navy Department to have been
found by the Coast Guards of Station
NO. %, near Narrayansett Pier, was
that the latitude and longitude stated
would have had Hawker floating in a
collapsed boat" almost exactly in Der.
lin. Germany.
The message, forwarded to the De-
partment by the commandant Of the
naval station at New London who said
that 1t had been picked up by the Goa st
Guard about three miles from Naragan-
sett Pier at IL o'clock this morning,
read as follows:
May 10, 1919. :34 A. NJ. Accident
to plane and / am drifting in a col
lapsed boat. latitude 81 degrees 80 min
utes north, longitude 15 degrees 80 min
utes east. HAwKER."
Naval officers were even willing to
concede that perhaps Hawker might have
made a mistake and written east" on
his. longitude instead OF west" which
latter would have located him not far
of the Irish coast. But nothing that
moves the sea, much less drifting
bottle, could have got from the Irish
coast to Narragansett Pier in the time
mentioned. The message was generally
put down as a hoax dropped from some
passing coast steamer.
