secretary by telephone from
New York early today and
amplified the plans he had
outlined earlier.
The flier asked Castle to make
known his plans.
Lindbergh emphasized his desire
to make the trip purely for pleas
ure, and said he would proceed
cautiously to avoid exposing Mrs.
Lindbergh to danger.
Leaves Within Month
He expects to leave the United
States within a month and to spend
about three weeks flying through
Japan and China. His plans be-
came known today when he re-
quested the state department to
secure permission for him to fly over
foreign territories.
Castle Immediately dispatched a
telegram requesting the necessary
permission.
The state department said should
Lindbergh find it necessary to fly
over or land on Siberian territory,
he would have to secure permission
directly from the Soviet government.
due to lack Of diplomatic relations
with that country.
Must Get Soviet o. X.
Aviators seeking similar permis-
sion in the past have made appli-
cation through the Amtorg Trad
ing Company OF New York, or the
Soviet information bureau here.
Lindbergh has not yet determined,
he told Castle, whether he will re-
turn from the Orient by boat or
plane. Many details of the trip.
he explained, remain to be worked
out.
In taking Mrs. Lindbergh, the
former Ann Morrow, daughter of
Senator Dwight Morrow of New
Jersey, Lindbergh will have a COM
panion who is skilled aviator.
Ever since the pair married, Mrs.
Lindbergh has flown with her hus-
band and recently received a pilots
license in her own right.
Trip for Adventure
State department officials empha-
sized that the tour had no oflcial
significance, being merely an adven-
turous pleasure trip for the personal
enjoyment of the Lindberghs.
The jaunt will be the third in
ternational tour the flying colonel
has made since he came into the
spotlight four years ago by span
ming the Atlantic alone in his Spirit
Of st. Louis.
Following that famous journey.
he flew to Mexico and later On a
goodwill trip around Central and
South American countries.
Officials Of the Soviet information
bureau told the United Press that
Lindbergh will have no difficulty
obtaining authorization If he
chooses to fly or land on Soviet
territory.
Welcome in Russia
Iney said that the bureau has
received no application for such
permission, but that three permits
to American fliers projecting fight
across Soviet territories had been
granted within the last month.
The Soviet bureau informally ex-
pressed the view that Soviet Russia
would be delighted if Lindbergh flew
to Soviet territory They said that
Soviet aviators have a great admir-
alton for Lindbergh.
1t was recalled that when tina

Every
Day
Sense

T HAVE no moral scruples
Il against women smoking. Why
should cigarets be any more harm
full than too many pork chops or
too many pills?
But my housewifely instincts
rise up to give battle every time
I see a feminine addict coming.
For the cigaret is the most dia-
bolical enemy Of lie ILLNESS that
the home ever has had to contend
against. And one smoker can
make more litter than three sets
of twins.
Strangely, also, women appear
even more messy with their smok-
ing than men. Whether they have
not yet become expert, or whether
it is fundamentally alien to their
natures, is hard to determine. But
the truth is that few are really
good smokers.
The art sits uneasily. if not
awkwardly, upon us and no ci-
garet ever manages TO seem part
of a woman as 1t does when a
man handles it. Either our hands
are not skillful or the neither lip
hangs down too low while hold
ing the flag, or the ashes fall at
the wrong moment.
In a woman's mouth the cigaret
Railways has a sort of sl1ow-of
swagger, tilt Of surprise to find
itself there, whereas it fits into a
mans face as naturally as hi
nose does.
Women must get a great deal
of satisfaction out of this habit,
since they have taken to it in
such numbers everywhere. But
they have added nothing to the
dignity of the cigaret.
And so far as coquetry Is con-
cerned, the old-fashicned fan
could be used more effectively.
AS I said before, the mere act
of smoking doesn't bother me.
What I object to, what rifles ME
tremendously, is having to sweep
up after the ladies.
Some deep feminine instinct
within me is outraged when I see
a woman burn the furniture or
the rugs, or flip her ashes on the
clean floor. A throwback, perhaps,
from the days when only men and
children were disorderly in the
house.

PRICE OF PARTISAN
DRESSES REDUCED

BIZ United Press
PARIS, Feb. 5.-DraStic reductions
in some cases amounting to half
the original prices were announced
on summer models by two leading
Paris dreSsmakerS today.
The dreSsmakers, one of whom
was Worth, said the reductions were
made because of the economic de-
preston, which resulted in a sharp
decline in purchases in America
this season.
Reports Of the five big dress
making establishments now holding
openings indicate that American
orders in general had fallen Of
tremendously.
The price declines included offers
of dresses for $50 which originally
were listed at $3.50. The dress
makers said they had assurances
that the silk manufacturers likewise
would cut their wholesale prices.

is Strongest

my son, Lee Royce, suffered
I'VE with his stomach and bowels
until he was quite 4istless and weak"
says Mrs. Nirgle Miller. 81 North
Addison St, Indianapolis.
Nov it's a different story as YOU
can see from his picture. He's strong
and full of life l gave him California
Fig Syrup on the advice of my mother.
1t increased his appetite, helped him
wonderfully. Since then have used
California Fig Syrup myself with
benefit as a laxative.
To show how California Fig syrup
acts to build-up and strengthen half
sick, headachy, constipated children
through giving tone and strength to
weak stomach and bowels, nothing
could be more convincing than
praise like this.
Your doctor will approve the use of
this pure vegetable product-as often
as an impure brea tn, coated tongue,
listlessness, feverishness or lack Of
appetite warn of constipation-or to
keep bowels from clogging during
colds or children's diseases.
When buying. look for the word
California on carton and bottle. That
marks the genuine.
