attempt in the Bellanca plane.
Today will be the second time that
the Columbia has been taken to the
Roosevelt field runway with the an
nounced intention of hopping off for
Europe. On the night that Lindbergh
landed in Paris Chamberlin suddenly
announced that an immediate start
would be made for France and had
the plane taken to the runway and
filled with gas. A hurry call was
sent out then, as it was today. for
Schory to seal the barograph.
After the plane had stood on the
runway for some time, however, it
was learned that Schory was in Wash
ington and that the weather was
none too prOpitious.
A hurried conference was held and
Chamberlin finally announced that the
flight was indefinitely postponed and
that when the plane did take off it
would probably be westward instead
of east 1t was intimated that flight
to Hawaii might very likely be sub

nothing definite could be learned as

the proposed flight.

to an intention expressed recently in

OLD-FASHIONED PANTRY
DISAPPEARS FROM HOME
Modern Methods of Equipping
Houses Replace Cookie Jar
Scenes of Old.

| The old pantry-the pantry that
held the cookie jar--the pantry that
meant reaching and climbing and
thousands Of extra steps-has disap-
peared.
Modern methods Of equipping a
kitchen have replaced it. And thou
sands upon thousands of women are
rejoicing because these new methods
have brought new conveniences. and
a saving of time and energy, in kitch-
IN work.
The ideas of women, of domestic
science experts and of architects have
all been combined in designing a
pantry in the Kitchen" an arrange
ment of units which provides COM
plete storage space and working
quipment--eyerythin from kitchen
cabinet to dish and broom closets,
from refrigerator to linen cupboards.
1t includes folding breakfast nooks''
and ironing boards which can be fold
ed easily out of the way when not
In use.
Each unit is complete i'm itself. 1t
can be used alone or in combination
with other units. Due to this un-
usual feature the home builder has
the widest possible choice in the use
and arrangement of the units. You
can choose one or one-half dozen
units, according to your particular
needs. You can group them on one
wall or separate them in different
parts of the kitchen.
