of a leiSurely, interrupted flight
across the north Atlantic from
America.
The Danish-American photog-
rapher and his pilot from Liberty,

demonstration from the crowd at
the air field. After an anxious
day of waiting, they had about been
given up for lost Thursday, when
they turned up in Krefeld, Ger
many, driven off their course by
bad weather.
Twenty thousand cheering men,
women and children were at the
air field. The f1iers were escorted
into Copenhagen by fifteen Danish
military planes.
Greeted by Relatives
Hoiriis' mother and his sister were
near the airplane when it came to
a landing and hurried forward to
kiss the pilot when he left the
trans Atlantic plane.
Il am so happy to see my boy, -
his mother said.
The two filters received the Aero
nautical Societys gold medal and
then were carried on the shoulders
Of their admirers to the flower

the national anthem and waving
Danish and American flags as the
two triumphant aviators were car
ried across the field.
The Liberty departed from Bre-
men at 4:37 a. m. indianapolis
tine) on the final phase of the
flight from New York.
Both Near Exhaustion

sound sleep in Bremen. They were
exhausted when they arrived Thurs

Post and Gatty Hop Off
From Moscow Toward
ASiatic Wastes.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, June 26.-The globe
girdling American monoplane Win
ME Mae, with the Atlantic and most
OF Europe behind it, is off for
Siberia, after a night in Moscow.
It's crew, Wiley Post and Harold
Catty, TAXED down the field into
the wind at p. m. Thursday Qndi-
annapolis tine) and turned the nose
Of their Hite plane toward the Ural
mountains and Asia.
The speedy plane, It's motor in
perfect condition, was headed over
mountainous, desolate regions to the
northeast. It's first objective was
the city Of Novosibirsk, where the
fiiers planned to refuel and continue
on toward Irkutsk, $500 miles from
Moscow.
The fiers departed with favorable
flying weather at Moscow and vi
entity. The sky was cloudy. A
small group of Soviet officials and
aviators, together with American
and Russian newspaper men,
watched their big monoplane roar
swiftly down the runway and nose
into the gray dawn.
Neither One Sleeps
Neither Post nor Gatty had slept
since they left Berlin early Thurs
day for Moscow. There appeared
little likelihood that they would get
to bed before Saturday. They ap-
peared cheerful and energetic, de-
spite their fatiguing experience and
the grueling grind of flying almost
continuously in their effort to set
a ten-day around the world record.
The filters landed at the airport
on the outskirts of the Soviet cap
ital at SAB p. m. Thursday (8:48
a. m. Indianapolis time.) They in
structed mechanics to overhaul and
refuel the plane, then proceeded to
Moscow, where they spent the eve
ming as guests Of local organiza-
tions.
They ate leisurely nine-course
Russian dinner, beginning with cav
lar and ending with champagne.
Motor in Good Shape
The Winnie Macs motor was pro-
nounced in excellent condition de-
spite the strain of the long trans
Atlantic pull and the 1,O00-mile
fight Thursday. The fiers were de-
lighted with the performance of
their ship, and confident they would
be back in New York a week from
today-ten days after leaving on
their dash around the world.
Their route across Asia was ex-
pected to bring them to the Pacific
above Piadivostok, near Habarovsk,
whence they planed to follow the
coast to the Boring Strait.

LAUNDRY SAVES
WOMEN FROM
NEEDLESS TASK
Time Wasted Over Wash
tub by Housewives Held
Economic Loss.

For a half century women in
America have made great progress.
From their present position in the
world Of affairs it hardly seems
possible that old idea Of women be-
Ing confined to household tasks
ever held sway. Nor does it seem
possible that the thought women
never could make q success in bust
ness life prevailed.
Perhaps the only reason these two
ideas ever got the hold upon the
public they did was because the
work in the household had to be
done, and there was no other way
to do than by hand labor. So
women, with their adaptability, had
to do it.
How much the world in days gone
by lost through this remains to be
seen. Surely no one could measure
1t now. But one thing has been
established pretty definitely now
that wonen'S brains are too valu-
able to allow them to waste their
time over washtub.
It is too great an economic loss,
to say nothing of the physical
strain. The woman who does her
washing these days must under
estimate her value to the world
greatly.
Laundries are so much better
equipped to do the family washing;
they do the washing itself. so much
better, and the clothing and other
articles actually look cleaner and
wear better, that it really is more
Of a waste than easily is apparent
to try to do such work at home.
The care taken in the modern
laundry is so great, the cleanliness.
so superb, and the labor saving SO,
marked, that women all over the
city are sending their weekly wash
to the Best-Grand Laundry, which
has several methods Of doing the
family wash.
Clothes may be simply washed
and rough dried, or they may be
completely ironed, and there are
plans by which work may be done
just so far as desired.
In fact, this laundry is ready and
willing to free women from drudg-
cry just to the extent the women
desire. The work Of the laundry
unquestionably is excellent, and
women are invited to use it's facilities
to the utmost for their own COM
fort.
Prompt collection and delivery are
made in response to telephone calls
over RI 2555.
