KING ALBERT IS
 BACKING FLIGHT
Belgian Monarch Interested in
 Congo Trip

Brussels, Belgium, Aug. 9. R- Out of kings vision of 4S-hour air service between Brussels and Leo poldville, in the Belgian Congo of Africa, has come plan of two Belgian aviators, Lieut.. G. Medaets and Lieut. Jean Verhaegen, to fly from Belgium to the mouth of the Congo river. The nonstop flight to the land of the heart of darkness is being made at the request of King Albert, one of commercial avia- tion's most enthusiastic patrons.
 Lieutenants Medaets and Verhae- gen have already flown the 5,5S9 miles from Brussels to Leopold vile. taking twelve days for the flight. If they can span the jungle and the Brussels boulevards in a nonstop flight. King Albert believes that much of the worlds fear of Africa's wilds and isolation will vanish.
 The king and queen are giving unstinted support to the project. A member of the royal family is ex- pected to christen q Brequet pla ne for the flight. It is considered pos sible that Princess Astrid will give her name to the plane.
 Although the distance of the con- templated flight Is just about the same as that covered by Byrd and his crew in the America. the scien- tific data resulting is expected to be entirely different in character because of the wilderness over which the Belgians will fly. The effect of the equatorial heat on at mospheric conditions is something about which aviators know very little. Mail planes now operating in the Belgian Congo have supplied the bulk of what is known of Afri- can flying conditions. Extension of establishment of a direct air serv- ice with Europe is the dream of King Albert for the Belgian Congo.
 Medaets, who is 31. flew a mili- tary plane for many months during and after the war. His companion, Verhaegen. is the ace of Belgian navigators. He is only 29. Recent ly he had narrow escape from death when his plane crashed at the inauguration of a new aero- drome near Nivelle. The pilot with him was killed.

BALKAN COSTUMES
 LOSE EQUA|N7NESS
Today's Attire More in Modern k. Keeping

Mostar, Herzegovina, Aug. g. P The modernization of old Balkan ic- towns is destroying some of their most picturesque aspects. Bel grade has become town of fash ion and Sarajevos varied and quaint costumes are merging into an imitation of up to date Ameri- can and English styles.
 Old Ragusa looks like Inter den Linden, so Germanic are the peo- pie one sees crowding it's fascinat- ing streets Even Cettigne, the skyward capital of Montenegro re- semhles ar English or American provincial town.
 Villagers as well as people of more pretentious towns show a tendency to initiate the dress of the tourists who motor through in ever increasing numbers.
 The valleys Of Montenegro. Herzegovina and Dalmatia, how ever. where the roads go through grazing country, still abound with figures that seem 10 step out of pages of history.
 The world owes a debt of grati- tude to the shepherds and goat herds of these countries for not succumbing to the modern craze. They could. however, wear the latest styles with quite as much chic as any of those they get a glimpse of from the waysde.
 Even the goats seem to show their dsapproval of moderniza- ton. They scamper up the rocks so fast when car comes along it is impossible to photograph them. When one is caught unawares he generally shakes his head and ruins the negative.

Do Not Dice Rhubarb
 Say Culinary Experts

Liverpool, Aug. g P-Rhubarb fool" IS one of the many dishes British culinary experts are com mending to housewives who want to make rhubarb Interesting"
 This dish is made by serving stewed rhubarb with custard or by putting rusks into serving dish and pouring the stewed rhubarb over them.
 The English domestic science experts say that rhubarb should not be cut into small bits and stewed in a lot of water. It should be left in pieces just as long as it will lie flat in stew pan, and only enough water should be poured in- to the pan to cover the bottom, they advise. Sugar should be added. Then the stew pan should be covered tnd rhubarb allowed to cook slowly. By this method the stalks can be kept whole and cook chiefly in their own juice.

Esme Howard, British ambassador,

No indication was given here of

intended to show how two days

Chamberlin landed in a Foker BIZ

Chamberlin took off from the

miles out from New York at liza
a. IN. and flew through fog to Long

Hasbrouck Heights, n. j., was
his original destination but because
of the poor visibility he found the
field here better landing place.

berlin told officials Of the United
States lines, regarding his takeoff.
81 had no difficulty in reaching
land, and the plane, after inspec-
ton, shows no i'll effects from the
takeoff or the flight"
Officials of the steamship line
expressed pleasure at the success Of
the flight. He arrived at the field
sooner than was expected. 1t was
supposed he would not land before
1914, two hours after his takeoff.
Announcement will be made later
by steamship officials of the exact
effect Chamberlin flight will have
on the Inauguration of ship to land

"This certainly proves that a
running takeoff is just as good OF
better than catapult aboard ship =
Chamberlin said.
Chamberlin always has favored 2
running takeoff over the eatapult
! because of the lesser strain on the
airplane,
Later in the day Chamberlin will
