Photographic record of the finish. Low
ell R. Bayles, Springfield, Mass. avia-

hopes to reach 300 miles an hour.
Ofhcial timers, who credited Bayles
with an average speed of 284.72 miles
an hour Immediately after his flight
yesterday corrected the figures TODAY
and disclosed that the actual average
was 28l9 miles an hour. To claim a
new record Ba-les had TO better by
4.97 miles an hour the old record Of
276.4 made in 1924 by Warrant Offlcer
Bonnet of France.
Even had he attained the necessary
margin it is unlikely the record would
have been allowed, because Of the fail
ure of the cameras to catch the plane
passing the pylon on the last dash over
the course.
Bayles did not appear particularly
disappointed when advised of the re-

Velvet came, and saw, and
conquered evening wraps. Other
fabrics come and go, but velvet
stays forever. And it's really
not surprising when you stop
to think about it-nothing
could be more flattering and
luxurious. And, in addition,
velvet's suitable for any kind
of party-where an evening
dress is worn.
And, though black is still best
in velvet wraps, bright and rich
shades are being chosen to
make a more interesting con-
traSt with evening gowns. But
no matter what color wrap,
white fur seems to trim most
of them.
One-Sided Collar
The jacket on the left has
a distinctly one-sided rever col
lar something we often see on
the new daytime dresses, by the
way). The fur is mountain
ermine, that looks for all the
world like the really high
priced kind. You'd guess it
wasn't, maybe, when you found
the price tag read about SIT.
The graceful flounce between
the wrist and elbow almost gives
the impression that the sleeve
is double. From the shoulder
hanging down in back, a soft
drapey bow relieves the abrupt
ness of where the collar ends.
Empire Shirring in the Back
The gathers in the bodice of
the wrap on the right are done
along the same lines that the
back of this wrap is Shirred.
And what could be more in
tereSting than the way sleeves
are made? They're as wide as
any dolman we've run into yet.
The softly knotted collar is
so very original that we COM
pletely overlook the lack of
fur. You can see from the re-
Election in the mirror, how be-
comingly it rises up in back.
Perhaps you'll think we're fib-
ing when we tell you what it
cost-under $40. And that's
the gospel truth!

cerning these wraps call or

Another actual instance of the
school lunch question is: Il
found out my child goes to the
corner drug store and buys a
candy bar rather than any other
kind of lunch" or The school
lunches are all cold: that isn't
good for a child"
Right on both counts, but the
most important thing parents
can do to protect the child from
the dangers of the corner drug
store and the badly supervised
school lunch is to see that it
has a good breakfast.
Breakfast Is Important
The general situation about
children'S breakfast in the aver
age American home is becoming
one of the most menacing nu-
tritional problems of the nation.
An investigation into this Situa.
tion which 1 undertook not long
ago revealed conditions that
were little short of staggering.
In households where both
mother and father have to go
to work, the children, or more
often the child, has to shift
breakfast for himself. The re-
suit is a badly balanced meal,
often entirely out of cans.
The most important meal of
the day for the school child
is breakfast. 1t should be hot,
it should be nutritious and it
should be partly made up of
fresh foods.
1t should include fruit, a
well,cooked oatmeal with cream
and sugar, milk and possibly
eggs or meat.
Choice of These
PruneS, oranges, baked ap-
Piles, appleSauce, peac hes,
grapes, canteloupe, raSpberries,
toast, butter, cream of wheat,
jam, graham crackers, jelly,
cornmeal muffinS, bacon, mar
malade, fish, toasted corn
flakes, cocoa, cracked wheat,
wheatina, rice, puffed rice,
farina, rolled oats, germea,
hominy grits. chicken, wheat
cakes, maple syrup, waffles,
sorghum.
If you. the parents, see to
it that your children have a
good variety of those things
for breakfast. you can we'll let
the dietitians alone about
lunch.
What the poor badgered dieti.
tians are up against is the
malnutrition of school children
due to the carelessneSs and in.
difference of parents.

When Manners
Are Correct
By Mrs. C. Beeckman
An Invitation?
DEAR MRS. BEEKMAN.

All AnVALaClOns
DEAR MRS. BEEKMAN.
If a young lady has had an
occasional date with a young
man and later has received an
invitation to formal dance in
which is enclosed the young
mans personal card, is she cor.
rect in thinking that he is re-
questing the privilege of escort
ing her to the dance?
B. B.
should not think that this
would mean that the young
man is inviting her to the dance.
Surely he would make his invi-
tation more definite than this.
You do not say what kind of
dance it is to be, but, if for in
stance, it is a dance gwen by
an organization to which the
young man belongs, he probably
wishes you to be invited, and
wishes you to invite your own
escort. In other words, his card
means that the invitation has
been sent at his suggestion, and
not that he himself is inviting
you. Often, as you know, when
an organization is to give a
dance or an entertainment of
any kind, the members are re-
queSted to hand in a list of
friends who they think might be
interested in coming.
