Poor Visibility Forces Pilot to
Abandon Flight at Managua,
Nicaragua.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 16.-
Capt. Ira C. Eaker arrived here at 5:2l
pm. from Guatemala City. He aban-
doned his attempt to make a dawn-to-
dusk flight to Panama from Browns
vile, Tex, and will leave for the Canal
Zone at 6 am. tomorrow.
Capt. Eaker blamed only weather con-
ditions for his failure to hold to the
schedule that he had plotted. He was
in fine tettle and the motor of his plane
was working splendidly. However, he
had encountered poor visibility in
Southern Mexico and had encountered
a strong headwind all the way, which
reduced his flying speed to 100 miles an
hour.
When he takes off at daybreak for
Panama he will be accompanied by
Pam American Anyways plane and Ma
rine Corps Fokker.
Capt. Eaker now plans his return
fight from Panama to Brownsville for
Monday and will get away at daybreak
In another attempt to accomplish 1t in
the daylight hours of one day.

Columbia Road
Mother Amazed

Constipation is one of the worst
health-ruinerS for children. Waste
matter held too long in their lit
tie stcmachs and bowels, forms
poisons which pollute their blood,
cause headaches, bad breath,
coated tongue, indigestion; make
them bilious, weak, salloW, fretful
and underWeight.
At the first sign of constipation,
give your child little California
Fig Syrup. Children love it's rich,
fruity flavor. It's purely vege-
table, a gentle but certain laxa-
tive, and it gives tone and
strength to the stomach and
bowels SO they continue to act
normally, of their own accord.
Thousands of Washington moth
ers are praising it. Mrs. G. E.
Nash, I'LL Columbia Road, says:
MY little girl, Peggy, had consti-
patton. Her breath was bad and
she never wanted anything to eat.
She was fretful, pale and weak.
Nothing seemed to help her
until I got some California Fig
Syrup. Her trouble stopped after
the first few doses, and she
amazed me by the way her pretty,
natural color came back. Soon
she was as playful and happy as
ever and she's been gaining ever
since"
Like all good things, California
Fig Syrup is initiated, but you can
always get the genuine by looking
for the name California" on the
carton.
