AIR EXPER|MENTER

LOS ANGELES, october Upon
a set of novel airplane wings moor

nelius. Instrumentation. will depend
almost entirely in an attempt to break
existing endurance flight records.
And Cornelius, who IS 81 ana resi-
dent O. Glendale Calf has world OF
confidence in his idea, although he has
been told by the War Department that
the wings are impractical.
Cornelius said he would attempt be-
fore long to circle the metropolitan air
port here for a month. He intends to
prove further that airplanes are safe,
and that magician is not needed to
dy one.
Wing Design is Basis.
"It Is all in the corrective stabiliza-
ton wings" he said. With these wings
I can set down plane in IT'S feet and
at the limit of climbing power 1t Will
nose over into a horizontal position"
Cornelius rode in his first airplane
when he was 16 years old at Colfax,
Wash. He built his first model soon
afterWard. The Samc year he Said he
saw an airplano accident in Portland,
Ores. in which two men were killed.
From then on. Cornelius Sc d. he
specialized in wings and endeavored to
coordination with the tail surfaces.
Out of those experiments, he said, has
come the sterilization wings.
They are pivoted on the struts. work
ing in conjunction with the tail sur
faces on ball-bearing axles The wings
are perfectly balanced. Their entire
length tits in response to the pilots
stick There are no ailerons.
He'll Sleep While Flying.
"I can set the wings and fly at a
given altitude as long as the gasoline
holds out Cornelius says. II can set
the wings at 5000 feet and fly from
here to Reno. New, and be 5000 feet
up when I arrive. When flying for en-
durance marks Ill just set the wings
and go TO Sleep
Cornelius possesses a private pilot
license. He wrote the late President
Woodrow Wilson about the sterilization
wings, but his letter was given the War
Department. He said he received a
letter from the department informing
him his idea was impractical.

COLORED JOBLESS
GROWING RESTLESS
Survey Shows Disproportion
Between Races, With Whites
DispIacing Negroes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A greater proportionate amount OF
unemployment among Negroes than
among whites with a tendency IN some
localities to substitute white for colored
workers, was noted yesterday in the re-
port OF survey conducted by the Ma
tional Urban League.
The report win be printed In the June
issue Of Labor Review, Labor Depart
ment publication.
Indications of q change in occIpa-
tonal distribution Of the two races were
seen by the organization investigators.
The report said white men and women
were taking over many forms of work
heretofore held as belonging to colored
persons, with the net result that there
Is a growing restlessneSs among colored
persons who are moving from place to
place in search Of jobs"
No Discrimination in Relief.
No discrimination against the colored
race was found in the matter of relief.
Wherever figures were given In the
report, the percs ntage Of unemployment
among colored persons was higher than
their percentage Of the total popula-
ton.
The report said that in one city,
unnamed, the statement was made that
600 colored janitors had been displaced
by white men and that in another city
hundreds of colored domestic workers
had been replaced by whites.
1T is said" the report continued,
''that naturally the search for work is
leading to considerable shifts in the
colored population and growing
restlessness is noticed. In both Brook
lyn and New York City there have been
an influx Of outsiders to make bad
situation worse, and throughout the
country there is more than the ex-
pected population mobility even for an
unemployment period"
Relief Depends on Charity.
The summary concluded that:
THE situation has not materially i'm
proved since the issuance of its last
report in November
Measures for relief are confined al
most entirely to charity.
"Colored persons get more relief but
fewer jobs than others from the agen-
cies established to aid the unem-
ployed.
"Colored persons continue, and unless
provision Is made to the contrary will

How wtoKeepCooI
While Cooking

Hot summer days, but the fam
lily must be fed just the same. To
cook and to keep cool should be
every housewives aim, for cook
she must and kee cool she should,
but how Is 1t to be accomplished?
The very best way is to plan
ahead and to do ahead. Planning
ahead means thinking Of meals q
day or two in advance, in other
words, knowing what you are go
ing to do with Mondays left-overs
on Tuesday. Doing ahead means
cooking enough on Monday so
that there will be left-overs to use
on Tuesday.
Ham for Left.Overs.
1t is just as easy to cook large
piece Of meat as 1t Is q small one.
Possibly no other meat responds
quite so well to left-overs as ham.
A whole ham may be cooked in
the pressure or fireless cooker and
there are all sorts Of ways in
which it may be used.
For the first meal the ham may
be served hot and the remainder
used to concoct all sorts of easily
prepared and appetite-appealing
dishes.
The delicate pink slices with
their white fat crisped at the
edges make an attractive border
around a mound Of potato, salad.
GarniSh the platter with radish
roses and crisp watercress, and no

fail to respond to this cool, crisp
looking dish.

Creamed ham as ham a la
king" is another attractive way to
prepare leftover ham. The ham
may be ground and set away in
the ice box. The white sauce, too,
may be made in the cool Of the
morning and all this dish needs is
little last minute reheating.
The creamed ham may be
served in pattie cases instead of
on toast.

Over Campfire

What gives forth a more tan
talizing aroma than beef steak
or ham or bacon being broiled
in the kitchen? Well, those
same things, being broiled over
the camp fire when appetites
edged keenly by hike or swim
make waiting most awfully hard.
Here are some timely suggestions
for preparing meats over the
camp fire:
Some parks. Rock Creek espe-
cially, have grills and fireplaces
built here and there which are
wonderful aids in preparing any
broiled meat dish. The fire is
laid under the grating and it is
no trick at all to get a glowing
bed of Goals. But a good broiled
steak may be prepared without
this sophisticated piece OF out.
door equipment +.
~ A Job for Father
Cooking meat over the camp
fire seems to be the special prov
ince of the men of the family
and how they dote on getting the
firewood laid just right. They
always like to do the broiling, too.
For broiling the old-fashioned
wire toaSter is handy and easily
carried: or a heavy frying pan
may be used.
Individual beef steaks are easier
to serve than larger steaks. The
filet of beef tenderloin wrapped
round with a strip of bacon is
always good. Small club steaks
may be used, or any small ten
der cut. Ground steak made into
patties are nicely cooked over
the open fire-these are .lot
always thought about in this con-
nection. The cakes may be sea-
Soned and Shaped and wrapped
in waxed paper at home, ready
for cooking. -.,
Lamb Chops Good, Too
Lamb chops are good, too.
Especially nice for this purpose
are the boneleSS chops, made
from the shoulder and skewered
into a compact roll. Ground
lamb patties are another favorite
for the picnic meal.
Ham, cut in individual servings,
may be broiled or panbroiled over
the camp fire. It is great fun
to toast bacon from the end of
a pointed stick, nor must frank
furters, the old picnic standby,
be forgotten.
A dish of potato salad. lots of
sandwiches or buttered buns, cake
or cookies and a thermos bottle
of lemonade or tea or coffee and
who could ask for more to COM
plete the meal with the meat
cooked while it is eyed hungrily?

Service adds greatly to the ef-
