SHOPPERS PLAN
QUICK MENUS
s.. THESE DAYS
Hints on Preparing Meals in
Advance of Trip Downtown
Are Given by Expert

One afternoon a week and, If
possible, two, homemakers should
drop their household duties and
seek a little relaxation and rec
reation away from home. Some
enjoy shopping, others want to
go to a park, a few may wish to
see the popular photoplay, while
still others secure more enjoy
ment from a motor ride.
Whichever way may appeal 10
you most, let that be the one you
pursue, but be sure you do not
neglect this duty to yourself, let
ting care drop while you take
your afternoon vacations.
You Are Refreshed
Returning home. you will be re-
freshed in mind and body.
Things that possibly perplexed
you earlier in the day will bring
q different outlook. The entire
family will want you to have this
outing due you.
Prepare Foods in A. M.
Occasionally these afternoon
meals mean extra work in the
morning, but with a bit of care
ful planning you can substitute
the menu planning and long
cooked meals with one of the 10
minute variety. I say Is, but
some of you may spend longer
preparing them, as not everyone,
of course, moves as quickly as 90
others
Plan Meals in Advance
Possibly you belong to a club
Of some sort that takes you away
from home an afternoon or morn
fng a week. If so, you no doubt
try to keep a menu plan on hand
for such occasions, so that the
meals need not be neglected, but
are such that they can either be
prepared in advance or quickly
upon your return.
Supposing you needed to serve
in Is minutes, would these menus
help you?

BATH, JEWELS

In the face of a driving wind
workmen today erected a scaffold-
ing around the top Of the dome
of the Capitol, preparatory to
cleaning the dome and bathing
the Statue of Freedom.
It has been several years since
the bronze statue has been cleaned
and David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol, has decided it is about
time to perform the ablutions.
Incidentally, the statue will re-
ceive some new jewelry in the
form of platinum points which,
placed at various projections
serve as lighting arresters. Spe-
cial care has been taken to have
the scaffolding Of sufficient
strength to Withstand the high
winds which blow at the almost
3O0-foot height Of the statue.
The entire dome will be
painted, the workmen using a
somewhat lighter grey paint than
has been used In the past. The
new paint will also be of a type
which will better reflect the flood
lights used in illumination of
the dome at night.

After nearly five years Of con-

it was learned today that the

drawn for a proper entrance at

Both Hoover and Coolidge in
Favor of Wide Entrance to
Capital, Says Dr.. Johnson

Differences between the Lee
Memorial Boulevard and the
ordinary road construction were
pointed out today by DR.. 8. M.
johnson. president of the Ma
tional Boulevard Association,
which is in charge of ground
breaking exercises to be held
Friday afternoon at Fort Buffalo,
Va.
DIR. johnson called attention
to the fact that President Hoover.
when Secretary Of Commerce, had
had taken an active part in urg-
ing that the Lee Highway be
brought into Washington over
boulevard 200 feet wide and that
former President Coolidge likewise
had stressed the deSirability of
an impressive entrance into the
Capital.
Transit. S. Highway
The monumental boulevard, DR..
johnson said, was not originally
planned by the road depart
;ments of Virginia or Of the
Federal Government, but was
visioned and planned by the Lee
Highway Association.
DR.. johnson said:
"ThiS association, whose first
work had been the promoting
of the building of a great trans
continental road, the Lee High
way, across the Southern States
- from Virginia to California,
conceived some gears ago the
plan to bring this road into
the National Capital via a mag
nificent boulevard, to be known
" as the Lee Memorial BOule-
- ward"
DR.. johnson said that while
the 200-foot right-of-Way is far in
excess of any southern road built
to date, the future will reveal
the wisdom of this construction.
The Lee Memorial Boulevard
right-of-way, DR.. Johnson said, is
conveyed by warranty-deed to Vir-
ginia.

with hls own hands, BEFORE he was
eighteen.
After year in the shops he was
skilled enough to build a miniature
steam locomotive. 1t was complete in
every detail, including air brakes. He
built a track in his back yard and
gave demonstrations of how the con-
trivance would run.
Tired as he was from hard days
work in the shops the youngster read
magazines and books on engineering
subjects to round out the practical
knowledge he was gaining as ma
chinists helper. AT the end of four
years of strict application to his job
he was earning 2215 cents an hour as
a first class journeyman mechanic.
Then he got the itching foot and
decided to see something of the c0un.
try. He worked for a time in west
ern shops. finally settling in Salt Lake
City where his pay was 2T1a cents an
hour. There he repaired locomo-
tive's blown off cylinder head in two
hours so that it could pull out the
fast mail ON schedule time.
This feat brought him the job as
foreman of the Colorado & Southern
shops in Trinidad Colo. Next he be
came superintendent of motive power
for the Chicago & Great Western.
Still thrstlng for knowledge and
chance to broaden himself, he ac-
cepted the place as manager of the
American Locomotive company In
Pittsburgh,
lie got his first chance in the auto
mobile business with the Buick com
pany, again accepting a big salary
cut for the opportunity. With him
the prospects for the future have al
ways outweighed immediate rewards.
What he did with Buick. General Mo-
tors, Willys-Overland, Maxwell
mers and his own product constitutes
one of the most outstanding achieve
ments in the automobile industry.
Today his headquarters are in New
York, where his ancestor, Tuenis Van
Dolsen, was the first male child born
in the days when the city was New
Amsterdam. 1t is far cry from the
sun-baked pralries of Kansas to
position in a leading industry and to
offices atop the highest building in
the metropolis, structure that bears
his name.
But that is the place to which the
Il e
on his first job, helped carry him. He
still has the implements that started
him on the path to fame and fortune.
Nor has he forgotten how to use
them.

things with the proper tools.
Thus Walter Chrysler, early in life
developed the liking for mechanics
that has aided him so much in gain
ing such a signal success later on in
life.
He was born in western Kansas in
1876. Wamego, a typical prairie ham,
let, was his birthplace. His father,
an engineer for the Union Pacific rail-
road, moved to Ellis, nearby town,
when Walter was little fellow.
The lad grew up there in the at
mosphere of engines and the din of
repair work, for the shops of the
Union Pacific we're located at Ellis.
He would watch his father start his
run in the primitive locomotives of
half century ago. He would be
waiting for him on his return from
across the prairie
The youngster aspired to follow in
the footsteps Of his father and be-
come first class mechanic. He in
herited liking for machinery from
his parent. The contacts and asso-
Citations of the railroad center served
to strengthen his inclinations He
never thought seriously of following
any career other than a mechanical
one.
The elder Chrysler piloted the first
coal burning locomotive owned by the
Union Pacific, which is indication
enough that he was regarded as the
pick of the engineers on the road.
His son came naturally enough by his
mechanical bent, it would seem.
The Ellis roundhouse and shops
saw much of young Chrysler in the
time he could spare from school.
During the summers he didn't have
so much time to loiter around the
railroad shops. He worked for gro
Ger as an errand boy and clerk In
the vacation periods. His earnings
helped the family. Times were none
too good in Kansas in those days.
When he was seventeen and had re-
ceived the best common school educa-
tion he could obtain in Ellis he de-
cided that 1t was high time for him
to begin to earn his own living and
to acquire trade.
He tried and passed an examination
TO become a machinlst's apprentice in
the ellis shops. He had to make his
own tools as he went along. His kit,
consisting of assorted calipers, diyid-
ers, balanced hammers. test indicator

Modern radio broadcast services use

according to the report. The circuits
in these networks have to be specially
designed, constructed, maintained, and
operated in order to give good results
over the wide range of frequencies
used in broadcasting. Research in
the past year has made great progress
in designing new cable circuits which
can handle the broadcasting as well as
do the specially cared for open wire

additional insurance against storm
