heavy mist, headed for Cartegena
Spain, on the first lap Of a projected
transatlantic flight to Rio de Janeiro.
Plotting the first of the planes was
Gen. Italo Balbo, Italian air minister
and leader of the expedition, which ir
many ways represents the most ambi-
tious transoceanic flight adventure evel
attempted. Fifty-fve other men COM
prised the officers and crew of the
Fascist air armada.
From Cartagena the airmen plan tx
fy down the Mediterranean and West
African coast to a point near Dakar
Senegal, whence the expedition will
take off on a 1,900-mile flight across
the Atlantic to Natal, Brazil. From
Janeiro. 1t is planned eventually tc

at attention and sang the Hymn of the
Aviators," new Italian air service

materially better, she stated.
Yet, with all that remains to be done
throughout the country in improv-
ing the rural AMI urban highway,
Mrs. Lawton said, it is perfectly amaz-
ing to note the actual improvement in
conditions during the last five years.
Five years ago, people simply
laughed at you if you talked to them
about getting rid of billboards and
other forms of roadside nuisances," she
said. Now they are interested and
helpful in arousing communities, as are
the highway commissions in nearly
every section of the country"
Naturally, we have faced opposition
from the billboard people. We are
willing to cooperate with them if any
grounds for cooperation can be found,
but we have never discovered any
grounds" she said.
Massachusetts is leading all States in
the legal fight against 'billboards, Mrs.
Lawton said, and such States as Vir-
g1nla, Maine, New Jersey, Connecticut,
oregon and Washington are blazing the
way for more rigid regulation. North
Carolina, where she recently made a
survey of nearly 10000 miles of high
way. also is beginning to fight for
improvements.

This Flight More Difficult
But this flight is infinitely more difficult

of more than $50 miles.
To reach the American coast we will have

together with our hearts and our will, will give

Things Hubby Might Do Before Reproving Wife

Remove your umbrella and rubbers
from the front porch and place them
neatly in the closet. Wipe your feet
carefully on the door mat and enter
the hail. Look about carefully for
your belongings. Take your hammer
and screwdriver from the front hall
table and place them in the tool box
in the cellar. See that your walking
stick IS in the closet and not IN some
corner.
Next go to the desk and collect all
letters addressed to you that do not
require an answer and throw them
into the wastepaper basket. Put your
account book and check books in the
cubbyhole where they belong. Re-
move your pipe from the desk and
blow into dark corner any ashes
that may have fallen from it.
Take the book that you were read
ing and left in the chair and. place it
in the book rest Remove your fur
mace gloves from the sofa and collect
any hats, gloves. mIffiers or other
articles of clothing that may be lying
about. See that your can of smoking
tobacco Is not on the mantelpiece but

announcements from bond houses and
reports of corporations that you have
been meaning to read and the proxies
that you have been meaning to sign
for meetings that occurred several
months ago and consign them to the
waste basket.
Now go upstairs and inspect your
quarters for soiled shirts and under
wear and socks left on the bathroom
floor or on the guest-rocm bed. Look
out of the window and make sure
that no hoes, picks and other garden
ing tools or coal scuttles or brooms
have been left outside and assure
yourself that the keys are not in the
car or in your pocket, but hanging
on the little nail in the hall.
When all of these things have been
attended to with care you may now
safely criticize your wife for having
left her hat and coat on the hall
chair. That is, unless you have over
looked the pliers on the living room
floor where you were working on the
