He had not been reported at Scott
Field. Belleyille, H., short distance
from st. Louis, where he intended to
drop q message and obtain weather sig.
mails from the ground.
. Sehoenhair hoped off in the darn
ness this morning with damaged wing
which had been hastily repaired. His
Lockhead-Vega monoplane had collided
with another ship in being taken from
the hangar. delaying the start.
Feared Trouble with Wing.
Of6cials at metropolitan airport here
and the SPONSORS of the fight recognized
the danger that the damaged wing
might cause Schoenfair trouble and
possibly force him down.
On the other hand, the fact that the
plane had not been reported was con-
Sidered good sign. 1t was pointed out
1t was likely the nonoplane would be
sighted at few points as Schoenhair
planned to fly q straight course which
would carry him over sparsely Inhabited
sections.
To better the West-to-East nonstop

plans to take off probably Monday in an
attempt to lower the time across the

the company's net income for the year
amounted to $620, 500, the surplus fund
was sucked for $219, 500 to make up the
amount needed to pay the dividend.
Martins report also shows that the
surplus haI dwindled consistently since
1924. the year of its peak, when IL

Another point brought out in

despite its decline in income in recent
years. continues to pay per cent divi-

War Brought Dividend Raise.
The dividend rate, according to
Martin, never exceeded 6 per cent until

Color Reigns in
Modern Kitchen

Not only walls and curtains and
cabinets are gay in modern
kitchens, but even the truSty old
white enameled fixtures give way
to gay colored SINKS in harmony
with the general scheme.
A green sink beneath the win
dow adds a most delightful color
note to a green and beige kitchen.
And if we could peep inside the
cupboardS, we'd find there most
colorful pots and pans of enam-
eled ware some beige. some soft
green, and others beige with a
fine finishing line OF green, with
here and there a bright red pot
by way of accent.
New kitchen dishes, too, arrive
in solid colors ,of pink, blue,
old rose, green, bisque, lavender,
orange-many with modernistic
designs most flashing. The ware
is usually Of ;. very heavy pottery
type, instead of china.
A novel feature of late kitchen
cabinets is a unit heated by cleo
tricity and used for the purpose
of warming plates. Another con-
triyance is The bread box with
wooden cutting board and bread
knife attached to the cover. And
q very fetching convenience is
the colored wooden rack to be
hung near the sim. or work table
to hold q complete set of kitchen
cutlery, also in colorS.

the housewife bustles about the

Christmas Decorations

Christmas is a time Of cheer.
1t is a time when we give gladly,
not gifts alone, but time spent
in planning to make others
happy. We shop, we decorate,
write greetings, wrap parcels and
bake until the house is redolent
with the fragrance Of spices.
Probably decorating is as much
a part Of Christmas as turkey
itself. There are many traditions
bound up with Christmas decora-
tions. One pertaining to holly is
not generally known. 1t seems
that holly berries were originally
white. They were used for decora-
tionS at a Christmas ball given
at an English country estate. A
fair lady was standing under q
cluster Of holly when she was
kissed by a gallant knight and
The holly berries overhead
Grew rosy and turned crimson red.
For, when they saw the rosy hue
On Gladys face, what could
they do
But droop and blush. So rosy red
In blushing too, the holly grew"
And ever since the holly has sig
nified Christmas cheer, romance
and happiness, although the mis-
tletoe has been made the real ex-
cuse for holiday kisses.
Decorating customs differ
throughout the country, due for
the most part to local conditions
but the reds and green's predon1i-
nate. In Michigan Michigan
Holly" really alder berries, is used
in window boxes and combined
with evergreenS inside the house.
In the South, the stately poin-
Settia with it's star-like flower is
an integral part Of Christmas: in
California the graceful pepper
berries are naturally included; in
Maine. ground-pine, hemlock and
juniper offer themselves in pro-
fusion. Each section of the coun-
try shares it's beauty with the
others so it is possible for those
in the North to have nlistIetoe,
and those in the South to have
some Of the Northern offerings.
One of the prettiest customs Of
Christmas decoration is the use
Of candles. The original thought
was to put a light in the window
to guide the Christ Child. Later,
carolers stopped to sing before
each house with a lighted window.
This custom still prevails in many
places Candles add much to the
looks of q Christmas table, are
beautiful above the fireplace and
make the Christmas tree thing
OF. magic and electric bulbs make
it safe.
The community tree is one
modern custom which is both gen.
erouS and beautiful. It gives pleas
ure to many people and forms a
friendly bond among the citizens.
Lighting trees on the lawn is also
an attractive thing to do. Pass
ing these out-of door trees one has
a sense Of sharing Christmas with
the owner and even feels that one
hears some one say Merry Christ
mas."

to radiate happy vibrations be-
cause the rooms were cold, when
the only way one can be happy
is to be warm. Have your win
dows weather-stripped with Wealth

in and the cold and dust kept out.
Weather-Lox is a weather-proof-
ing better than weather-str1p. All
the Objectionable features Of the
old-style weather stripping is elimi-
mated. Weather-LoX permits the
windows to run freely, never bind
ing. Windows may be raised or
lowered without the least effort;
that Objectionable feature that is
ever present when the old-styIe
strip is used is eliminated and
binding is made impossible. Damp

upon the SYnoothnesS of the run
of the saSheS. The device once
installed is permanently placed

For many years the home
keeper always kept a doughnut
jar--in the pantry-spending
many hours each week frying
doughnuts for the family's con-
sumption. The very fact that
we can get such bits Of delectable
pastry as the Sally Lou Honey
Dipt Donuts right here In Wash
ington, has almost relegated the
doughnut jar to the ''haS-beenS."
The delicious sweetness of the
Sally Lou Honey Dipt Donuts is
a revelation. They are q dis
tinctly new kind made from
wheat flour, raised with yeast,
fried in pure vegetable shortening
to a crisp golden brown, then
dipped in delicious honey icing.
Ask your grocer for them.
