Club Sandwich

An orthodox club sandwich is COM

broiled or fried bacon, slices Of chicken
and fresh tomatoes and mayonnaise
dressing. But club sandwiches that are
very good to eat and that may quite
properly be called club, do not have all
these ingredients.
A number of variations may be
thought out that will prove tempting,
The essentials seem to be to have the
bread toasted and to have the fllling
put in with lettuce and mayonnaise
dressing. Sometimes 1t Is hard to get
fresh tomatoes or they are very high in
price. Then they may be left out en-
tirely or you may make q little tomato
Jelly from canned tomatoes and add a
little of this in each sandwich to give
the desired flavor.
Sometimes you have no chicken,
then very little finely sliced veal NAV
be substituted. 1t is quite possible to
leave chicken or veal out altogether and
let the bacon be the only bit Of meat.

Some women-and significant num-
Der of men-really like the new fashions.
Probably a larger number of women
and men--object to the fashion changes
that have brought back long skirts and
more closely nodded figures. And at
present there is no subject save the
weather that comes up for common
place remarks more often than the new
mode in womens clothes.
1t is not at all remarkable that OBJ
jections should be raised, and certainly
the returned longer skirts are no more
severely criticized now than short skirts
were several years ago when they first
came upon the scene. The most sue
cessful fashions usually are those that
call forth the greatest opposition at the
outset.

will ind great variety Of treatment
The simple wrap-around skirt is liked
for sports, also the plain circular skirt.
Pleats as well as cores and godets are
shown in skirts which must give free
dom of movement. Pleats are often
combined with circular sections. Flared
box pleats may be set on low yokes.
Again they may be applied in step
fashion stitched just above the knee.
Low square-topped godets give the
necessary flare TO the skirt and q
tailored effect. Curved. flared inserts
set in at the sides are practical for
woolens. Pin tucks appear on skirts
as well as bodices. Yokes too, are cut
in various shapes, irregular points and
curves accented with tucks and cording
All of this sounds intricate. The new
fashions are intricate. They must be
adapted to the individual.

Kitchen Knives

Always keep a complete set of
kitchen knives for culinary purposes
and do not use old worn-down and de-
fective ones. To do good work one
must have good tools. The set should
contain three or more pointed knives in
varying sizes, two flat-bladed knives,
one or two vegetable knives, and a
curved-blade knife.

ing fields needed to complete the chain,
the Seadroms-idea sponsors figure the entire
project would cost less than $to CjjGoo to put
into operation, planes, pilots, landing fields
ashore and all the sundry details connected with
the project included and they further figure
that this cost is little more than half the ex-
pense of building modern large ocean liner,
which would take from four to six days in
crossing.
Every one connected with the plan is wildly
enthusiastic about it since the successful
launching and faultless demonstration of the
scale model built down to one thirty-second Of
the size of the regular Seadrcme designed by
Armstrong in the Choptank and the Chesa-
peake. Armstrong declares that the newest
scale model. the largest built, performed exactly
as did the three and six foot models he made at
his workshop in Wilmington and tested in q
small tank fitted out with wave and wind
making apparatus.
Fortunately, it was blowing small gale when
the newest model was eased into the water from
Oakley Beach, near Cambridge, and the choppy
waves of the Choptank were washing high for
the tempcsuous christening. Figuring to scale
on the model. Armstrong computed the thirty
mile wind that was blowing at the time of the
launching computed as to the square of the
increase in the size of the regular size sea-
drome over the modeD to be tempest of $50
miles an hour, and the waveetS of from IL
to 16 inches in height computed in direct
ratio to the increase in the size of the modeD
to be towering rollers of from thirty to forty
five feet in height
With only a barely perceptible motion roll
of approximately two degrees, and pitch about
one-half that, the model presented a perfect
landing field for the scale-model Sikorsky
amphiolan plane which was used for the tests

AS long as the wind comes straight at it, Arm
strong believes the seadrome will ride out
storms with wind velocity of 200 miles an
hour. Such wind is unheard of. however. He
frankly admits he doesn't know what would
happen to a seadrome in West Indian rotary
hurricane. But such things do not come as far
north as his seadrome chain will be.

N London, Paris and Berlin!
Planes leaving every hour on

You'll be reading this adver-
tisement in the daily papers within five years
ana hundreds CT persons daily will be avaling
themselves in perfect safety to the rush trip
across the Atlantic, with all OF the comforts OF
a big modsrn hotel at a half dozen places on
the route, in the opinion of Edward r. Arm
strong of Wilmington, Del, inventor OF the
Armstrong Seadyome which has gained the
backing q the wealthy du Pont in ereSts.
Following the recent compl ION OF hnal
model tests of the seadrome Il the waters OF
the Choptank River, at Can't idge, Md. and IN
Chesapeake Bay, nearby, the 9ord is to De given
shortly for erection of the first full-Size sea-
drome at a Delaware River shipyard
Chester Pa and when completed, the floating
island will be planted in the ocean OF the VIZ
ginia Caps as the first link of the transatlantic
chain of airplane landing surfaces, and to be
used until the rest of the chain is completed,
as breas in the hop on the air route from
New York To Bermuda.
WHEN that chain is completed, Armstrong
AMI his business-wise hackers of the i'm
mensely wealthy Wilmington family believe the
broad Atlantic will kick its last kick against
its conquest by air.
Armstrong who has gone into every detail of
the proposed transatlantic service with his
hackers, who have formed a corporation to
put the service into effect, foreseeS the inaugu-
ration CT service in two, perhaps three, years.
II will take that length of time to complete the
SeadrcmeS.
With thu completion of the Seadromes the
hackers of the transatlantic line, according to
Armstrong, plan to inaugurate daily service
across the ocean both ways. with perhaps at
first 80 or a "a hour schedule. With
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-03

perience they expect to extend the service to
hourly flights and inaugurate both express"
and local trips, the express" trips making
only ,wo. or at most three, stops for plane
changes and fuel and the slower machines
mai king every stop along the route. With the
express" planes they expect to get 24-hour
passage CT the Atlantic easily.
"Th<re isn't much use in trying to cut it
down TO much more than twenty-four hours,
even if could" Armstrong declares, explain
ing that the business or other purposes to
which the trip would be devoted could hardly
be benefited by the saving of less than day.

man can get down to them inside the "stilt"
and, If necessary, make repairs. Each of the
compartments will be capable Of ISOLATION from
the others in case of a leak.
At the bottom of the stills win be placed the
ballast tanks, delicately balanced with the
buoyancy tanks to keep the landing surface at
the proper height from the water surface
Putting the center of gravity far below the sur
face of the water gives the seadrome the
stability necessary to make its landing surface
an easy target for the plane pilot.
All of the stills will be guyed and bTaced

safety has been set at four to one. that Is. for

ease has spread among rabbits
throughout Sussex county, causing
large numbers of them to die, sports
men, upon advice Of the State health
officials, have not been attempting to
bag any of them, fearing that by com
ing in contact with them the disease
might be transmitted. Very few rab-
bits were killed that did not show
themselves to be very active when
found in the wood and fields. All rab-
bits found to be rather slow in NOV
ing and appearing to be stiff in their
legs were marked as diseased. If the
disease among the rabbits can in any
way be checked, the stock next season
will be the largest in lower Delaware

the supply of birds next season should
be large if weather conditions are fav-
orable to them during the coming
spring. There were less quail killed
this season than for several years.
