Pacific Crab Shown as
Example of Evolution

During the ages in which evolu-
tion has been advancing, denizens
of the water have taken to the land.
and some creatures which at one
time lived entirely upon dry soil are
now equally at home in the water
or wandering in the fields. On
some of the Pacific coral islands
we find a great crab which spends
most Of its time on land, only occa-
sionally visiting its element.
This crab, often over u inches
In length, was at a remote period
in its history a hermit living a soli-
tary life in a shell on the ocean
floor. Today it exists on the land
of the coral islands, making a large
burrow in the sand, where it has
few enemies. The gill chamber
which at one time functioned in the
water, is now so modified that with
the upper chamber it can breathe,
while the lower portion still helps
it to exist in the sea, where it lays
eggs.
The favorite food of this crab is
the coconut. Many are blown down
by winds, but if the food on the
ground becomes scarce the crab
climbs trees and dislodges the nuts.

Rigid Diet Before Flight
Contains Wholesome Food, Is
Easy to Digest and Supplies
What Tired Nerves Need.

~ let is Just as important to en-
1 durance fiiers as the faultless
- fabrication of the powerful mo-
tors which carry them through the air
at tremendous speeds, according to
Elinor Smith, the New York girl who
has established so many endurance
and altitude records and who now is
preparing to fly the Atlantic alone
this summer.
Reports to government officials
showed that the first time she stayed
aloft for thirteen hours on an endur-
ance flight she lost Is of her ITO
pounds of weight. So she went to her
doctor and he recommended a diet
scientifically planned to produce en-
durance stamina-the kind the aver
age person needs most nowadays.
How the diet succeeded is best told
by Elinor herself.
"On my second endurance flight /
was up 26 hours" she reported, land
didn't lose pound. In my prepara-
tions for my forthcoming trip across
the. Atlantic, I am using this diet
again. It's simple but very definite
regimen"
The diet, begun three weeks before
the flight, consists of the following
daily menu: For breakfast, oranges or
grapefruit, bran mullins and butter
milk; For luncheon, vegetable or fruit
salad with light oil dressing, favored
gelatine and buttermilk; For dinner,
tomato juice or fruit cocktail, such
lean meat as lamb, beef or chicken
with green vegetables and rye, whole
wheat or bran bread with plenty of
butter.
Three days before the flight Miss
Smith goes on wholly liquid diet of
soup, buttermilk and all the water she
can drink During the fight itself
Smyrna times., 1932-06-15

her principal articles of diet are
oranges and whole bran raisin mullins,
which don't get stale quickly.
II eat most of my drink, too," she
said. "I carry whole oranges, which
chew. Unlike water, they keep fresh
and cool in the cockpit of my plane
for hours. Those thin-skinned juicy
Florida oranges, find, hold their juice
fresh for an indefinite time. They
are better than the thick-skinned
oranges, because they contain more
juice and I don't have to carry so
many. Oranges also have wonderful
food value.
This diet is simple, easy to digest,
and for me is just the thing to supply
what tired nerves need. Lots Of
pilots suffer from nervous Indigestion,
and so do lots of business people. But
not with this diet"
