NOW FLYERS PLAN
Americans to Refuel at Kushimoto
and Reach Kagoshima
Before Darkness.

BY the Associated Press.
KASUMIGAURA, Japan, May 30
The American round-the- world flyers
still hope to get away tomorrow on
the next leg of their flight, though
possibly they will not be able to do
so until Sunday. They hope to make
two jumps the day they leave here
going to Kushimoto to refuel and
thence on to Kagoshima, their last
stop in Japan before darkness.
The Americans today witnessed the
fatal fall of one of the Japanese
aviators stationed at this naval avia-
tion base. The flyer, plotting Japa-
nese naval plane. was up some dis
tance when the planes fuel tank eX-
ploded and the machine crashed on
the shores of the lagoon.
Four Days of Overhauling.
The American planes have under.
gone four days of extensive overhaul
ing New engines and new pontoons
have been put in place and they are
nearly ready for the jump-off. The
flag plane, flown by Lieut.. Lowell H.
Smith, acting commander, was pro-
nounced fit today and Smith made a
test flight. On this he had as a pas
senger the commander of the kasu-
migaura base.
Thirteen American destroyers which
will be stationed between here and
Shanghai TO aid the flyers in case OF
need are taking their places along
the Japanese coast line and in chain
across the China sea.

you about such circumstances Of

about later illnesses and later ac.

He will then go over you
physically and very thoroughly,
noting any external defects. The
behavior of your eyes and the
condition Of your teeth, tonsils,
adenoids-all most important
will be determined. Your lungs
and heart will be listened to;
pulse rate and blood pressure de.

Then, in the presence of special
indications, he may take a few
drops Of your blood for careful
examination, or order an x-ray ex-

THE ORDERLY
HOME
BY Hannah Wing
A Recognized Authority on All
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.

~ID you ever drop into a
neighborhood kitchen and
H. want to write down a
recipe or an address and ask for
a pencil? Business of hunting all
over the house, upstairs and
downstairs before one is traced
to hiding and then, ten chances
to one, it hasn't point.
An experience of this kind leads
one to look .4nro ones own
ways of conducting the business
of housekeeping.
First there is the typewriter.
This is a bit expensive but IL
within the range Of possibilities it
has it's advantages for the woman
who wants to run her home on
a business basis. Not only for
copying recipes but for writing
business letters with copies,
checks, memoranda and the labels
and lists Of every smoothly run
ming household.
Passing to simpler things and
less expensive ones-a supply of
pencils comes first, with racks to
hold them where needed, at the
desk, at the telephone and near
the door for signing receipts.
And a tube of paste. Think of
the clippings cut out with care
and then lost because no paste
was at hand. Glue too is an es-
sential for all sorts of household
mending. And latter clips-those
small wire fasteners that hold
bills together.
It's all right Of course to save
papers and Irvine from packages
but do let us afford a few sheets
or perhaps a modest roll of heavy
clean, new wrapping paper that
will adequately wrap a parcel or
supply us with a sheet for cook
ing cookies or draining Gro
quettes. And while on the sub
ject, ball of strong wrapping
cord is a luxury no business Of
flee would be without.
A housekeeper needs a pad for
her daily appointments. Tues.
day, the garbage man. Thurs
day, the vegetable man. Satur.
day, a cake for the church sup
per. Monday, the laundry.
Those enhancing little card
catalogues of three by five cards
in their neat little indexed cases
are something to look forward to
when keeping household records
size of rooms, windows, length
Of curtains. the monograph rec
ords, the books you have loaned
and even the things you've stored
away-these should be systema-
tized in this ship shape manner.
At least one bill folder and a
correspondence file Is a reliable
piece OF household equipment
when questions arise as to old
bills and troublesome dates for
which alibis are needed.
