best adapted to trying.
In spite of the fact that oysters,
in themselves, have very little food
value, they adapt themselves very
we'll to combination with foods
which are of high food value, such
as oyster stew, oyster chowder and
scalloped oysters.
To prepare oysters for the table,
place in a colander and wash thor
oughly in cold running water.
Handle each one separately, to re-
move bits of shell. If the liquor is
to be used, it should be strained
through a sieve. Finding pearls in
oysters is good sport, but the pearls,
as we'll as bits of shell are just as
well removed before the oyster is
placed on the table!
Oyster Stew
Heat the strained liquor from one
quart of oysters to the boiling point.
Add oysters and cook until plump
and edges begin to curl. Add l
quart of milk scalded in double
boiler, 4 cup margarine or butter,

full celery salt. Serve hot with crisp
oySterette crackers or croutons and

Preparations for Captain Ira c.
Eaker's dawn-to -to-dusk flight from
Brownsville to Panama were near
ing completion Thursday when four
army fliers took off from the local
field in two planes to supervise
arrangements at the four points
where the "Pan-American" will re-
fuel during its 1,900-mile flight TO
the canal zone.
According to present plans Cap
tain Eaker will take off from the
Brownsville airport at 4:30 Satur-

Commerce, the famous flier said
he might fly to Brownsville
Thursday afternoon. Kelly field
reported Thursday morning he
would not leave for the border un-
til Friday morning.
Permission to make the dawn-to-

assure that ample supplies will be
available for the plane.
While the date for the take-off
has been tentatively set for Satur-

DENVER, March 14.-(P)-The
snow storm which has claimed one
life, paralyzed highway traffic and
delayed trains and the airmail IN
the Rocky mountain region, con-
tinued in Wyoming today although
it had subsidized in Colorado and
Montana.
A dozen towns in Wyoming, where
the storm was most severe, were
snowbound by the heaviest fall in
several years. Sheridan, near the
Wyoming Montana boundary, re-
ported a three day snowfall left a
blanket 80 inches dep on level
ground. The remainder of the state
was covered by 20 to "a inches.
At Greybull it was feared the
snow, when melted. would cause a
repetition Of last Sundays flood that
resulted in damage of half million
dollars. Streams in that vicinity
were reported to be almost out OF
their banks again.
High winds drifted the snow over
the highways making them i'm
passable. Railroads kept their tracks
clear with snow plows but all trains
were reported delayed. Air mail
service was hampered but the fliers
continued to carry the mail behind
schedule.
One fatality was reported in wy
oming.. Henry Folster, 38, Of Lar
annie, died Of exposure on a passen-
ger train where he found refuge
after struggling through the snow
for about ten miles after he aband-
oned his stalled motor truck neal

AIR TERMINAL
PLACED HERE
Hundreds of Tourists To
Central America Will
Visit Brownsville

Brownsville as the northwestern
terminal of Pan American Airway
systems is now holding the same
key position to countries south OF
the United States as Miami, Fla,
the northeastern terminal, j. M.
Eaton, general traffic manager of
the line announced today.
Eaton, who has just returned
from Mexico City, declared that the
excellent airport facilities here and
the logical location of this city were
determining factors in placing the
terminal here, which means that
hundreds Of tourists to Mexico City
and Central America will be routed
through here each month.
The Compania Mexicana de Avia-
clon, division of the Pan American
which carries the mail between
Brownsville and Mexico City has
been carrying capacity loads OF
passengers every day since the in
auguration of the service, Eaton
said. Wednesday eleven passen-
gers, including Mr.. and Mrs. j. E
Trlppe, returned from Mexico City
and a like number are to arrive to-
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Trippe made
the first flight from here With
Llndbergh. who is technical advisor
of the concern, last Sunday.
Before the selection of Browns
vile, it was necessary for air ex-
cursionists from the midwest to be
routed by Miami and thence alone
the southern coast to Vera Cruz
and Tampico. Now, the shortest
and most direct route via Browns
vile will be shown on placards dis
tributed in hotels and railway ticket
offices throughout the midwest a.
far north as Detroit. 1t means alsc
that tourists from the west coast
to Florida and Havana will bt
routed via Brownsville and to Tam.
