HUBBY LEAVES
WITHOUT ruth

NEW YORK, n. Y. Nov. 16.-P-
Lyle Womack was bound back 10
Panama alone today while Ruth
Elder. his pretty aviatrix-wife was
considering emoluments available be-
cause OF her Atlantic flight.
Still flushing from an affectionate
farewell In public. Womack who had
ZONE to New York from Balboa to
welcome his wife and take her back
TO their home in the Canal Zone, was
left aboard the liner Christbal thirty
minutes before sailing time y~ester-
day while the girl fIier fastened
away to a business conference.
II have a date with Ruth in Bal
boa when she is through with her
present program" said Womack.
Nomack had receded from the de-.
termincd stand he took upon his ar
rival. He said then that he would
induce Ruth to give up perilous
flights, publicity and offers on con-
tracts and return to the Tranquil
tasks Of a housewife in their Sanal
Zone cottage.
When he sailed he wore the ex-
preston Of a husband who has made
concessions. OF his future with Ruth,
who has been advised by feminist
leaders "Not to go back to washing
Dishes" he said:
"Ruth's going through with her
present program think it's a lee
ture tour-and then she says she's
coming back TO me. People can for
get all this talk Of our being sep
arated. I've had a long. serious talk
with Ruth and we understand each
other"
Miss Elder will remain in New
York several days before visiting her
parents in Admission, Alabama.
