FLOATING PORTS
FOR AIRPLANES
MADE REALITY
System to Be Inaugurated
by Germany for Mail
Service Over Ocean.

By United Press
BERLTrT. Aug. 18.-Aviation's once
fantastic dream OF conducting a
regular transatlantic service with
the use of floating airports has vir-
tually become a reality.
Following successful tests with
the steamship "Westphaien" an
chored in mid-Atlantic between
Africa and Brazil, the German
Lufthansa plans to inaugurate in
the autumn an air-mail service be-
tween Germany and Buenos Aires,
Rio de Janeiro and other South
American points.
Two Planes to Be Used
Two planes will be used, each
making half of the ocean trip.
Terminal points will be Bathurst.
British Africa, and Natal. Brazil.
The plane, for example. which de-
parts from Bathurst will proceed to
the steamer zone days flight trans
fer its mail to the second plane,
which will then be catapulted on the
second stage of the journey (also a
days flight to Natal.
Three in Personnel
Aboard the floating airport, the
waiting plane will be thoroughly
checked over and refueled for the
return trip.
Each plane will carry personnel
of three men. including a radio op-
orator. Mail will be brought to. and
taken from, each terminal point by
land planes.

Mammoth Reflector to Be
Erected on Texas
Mountain.

WILLIAMS BAY. Wis. Aug Ia
The giant eighty-inch rejecting
telescope that will spy upon the
stars from Mcdonald observatory
10 be erected on peak OF Davis
mountains. Texas. Is now under
construction.
A contract for the telescope has
been approved by the University OF
Texas board of regents. and Warner
and Swasey Company OF Cleveland
are the builders. 1t has been an
nounced by DR.. Otto Strive. joint
director of the Yerkes and McDon-
aid observatories.

eighty-inch telescope, which will be
exceeded i'm size only BY the pres
ent l00-inch Mt. Wilson reflector
and the projected 200-inch Cali
fornia Institute Of Technology tele-
scope. it is Jolr. undertaking Of
the University Of Texas and the
University of Chicago.
With a bequest left by William
J. Mcdonald the University of
Texas will erect ard maintain the
observatory. while the University Of
Chicago. utilizing the experience of
its Yerkes observatory at Williams
Bay. WIS. will staff and operate the
new observatory.
New Glass Used
A kind of glass that has slightly
smaller coefficient of expansion
than pyrex glass will be used by the
Corning Glass Works of Corning,
N. Y, in casting the big 80-inch
diameter mirror
The mounting of the telescope
will be of the cross-axis type, but
the usual declination axis is re-
placed by a large bearing. Great
adaptability is planned. as the tele-
scope will be capable of being used
in the ordinary Newtonian form, in
the Cassegrain form and in the
Coude form.
When operated in the Newtonian
form. the image of the star or other
heavenly object focused by the giant
mirror is caught by small mirror
or prism and thrown to the side OF
the telescope tube near its top.
where it is viewed through an eye
piece.
IN the CaSsegrain form a small
convex mirror placed at the focus
reflects the rays back through the
tube into a small hole in the big
mirror and the observer looks di-
rectly at the stars as with a lens
or refracting telescope. The Coude
ARRANGEMENT uses a number OF mir
rors that bring the rays TO a COM
Portable fixed location where deli
cate apparatus may be used.
Temperature to BE Constant
A constant temperature room will
be provided at the lower end OF the
polar axis. The principal focal ratio
will be TO 4, the focal ratio at the
Cassegrain focus will be l to 10,
and at the Coude focus approx
mately ! to 20.
The counter weight, which In
other telescopes is attached to the
declination axis. is moved in the
Mcdonald telescope toward the up
per end of the polar axis, where it
will not interfere with the n.y.
draulic hoists operating the two
platforms for the CaSsegrain ar
rangement.
Mechanical details of the new
telescope we're worked out by (. p.

Advice to LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

thing to remember you by, why
not give her a writing portfolio,
and tell her you hope it will
suggest that she will sometimes
write you a letter.
They Had a Quarrel Over
Something Petty
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am 25 years old, and the
girl I love is my brothers sis
ter-in-law. We're both college
students. At a recent weekend
which we spent at my brothers
home we had a foolish quarre!
over a petty matter. and we
parted in anger. Now I realize
that I was wrong. but I'm too
stubborn to confess. Also, over
this weekend | caused some
trouble by carrying news from
my girl friend tc my brother,
and she will have nothing to
do with me How can 1 atone
for this tale-bearing2 I want
to be friends with her before
it's too late. 1 tried to apollo
gize but in vain. KELLY.
1t seems to me that it would
be better not to attempt to
force an immediate reconcilia-
ton. To carry tales from one
friend to another always arouseS
indignation, and you'd better
wait until that siuners down
a little before you again say
how sorry you are that it oc-
CURED.
I hate to sound preacky. my
dear boy, out do let this be a
lesson to you about taie-bearing
in futrte. And here's hoping
that the grl makes up.

We can't promise that you
can get this service in every

they've done it in Patou's new
pine green-a grand new shade
that's refreshingly different
from the same old greens we've
been seeing all along. So if
you've got a green jag on, you
can get everything to match

Velveteen is smart this sea-

Bib collars of velveteen are

But I hold to it that the
terms apply, and that our fa1
fashions are as direct descend
ants as we are of the ladies
themselves.
Pertinent PeplumS
You can't look at our photo
graphs today, modern and chic
as it is, and not think OF the
cunning high-necked dresses
your mother wore, stately as
they were, and showing so
much more figure, though
where it's gone these days I
can't imagine.
Even I can remember when
q peplum was much more i'm
portant than it's ever been in
my day." And a pleated ruff
file around the bottom of the
skirt has been in and out of
fashion much longer than I
can remember.
It's true the dust ruffle hasn't
really gained a foothold in our
age, but it's seen once in
while, and it's a practical idea.
I'm for them if you're going
to insist on having evening
clothes trailing the floor.
Buttons On Parade
Buttons right up the front
of the dress are another Vic
torian revival, and long tight
sleeves with fullness at the
top are too, though we're so
used to them now that we for
get about their origin.
Our clothes are from the
mauve decade, grayed and dark
and dull as they are, or vivid
and warm, on the other hand.
And women haven't worn so
many wool dresses since the
190O's and soon thereafter.
Even coat suits" have returned
as an important part of a
wardrobe.
CORDED SILKS BACK
But to get back to ourselves
and our own clothes, the dress
photographed has a charm all
its own, and will be an addition
to the wardrobe of the most
modern minded.
It's of corded silk, another
revival, in the richest of rust
tones. Those buttons right up
to the chin are mirrors, new
as they can be, and the collar
is a little standing affair.
The peplum and the pleated
flounce you can see for your
self. It's $18.95 in a very mod
ern store, and is in misses sizes,
in case you're interested.
For fashion information or
the name of the store showing
this dress, write Miss Laville,

He's Green With Envy
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm in love with a girl who
loves another boy, and it makes
me green with envy. We all
were graduated from high
school about a year ago and
this other chap and I took
her to dances, concerts, plays
and various affairs during the
last two years of school.
Now this fall I'm going to
college, but he was lucky
enough to get a good job and
has given up the college idea,
so if get away I'm afraid it'll
be a case of "out of sight. out
Of mind" Could you give me
any suggestions about how 70
make this girl interested in
me? How about giving her
something to remember me by:
a ring, perhaps-not diamond.
of courSe-or some other gift
which she can keep to remind
her of me? We're only 1S and
10, respectively, and have lots
of time before we think of be-
ing married. My folks won't

I can't see why you on the way

the attention of the other fel
low. And it seems to me that

Life'S April
The passers hastened, Shoul-
ders hunched, heads bent.
Against the sudden spatter Of
bright beads
That April in a sparkling
shower sent
Into the city street, which little
heeds
The wiles of of spring, but this
brief, hoyden mirth
Stirred many a heart to W1sttuI
memories
OF other springs, and Of awak-
ening earth
With new life Haunted from its
fields and trees.
But two stood there in glad
oblivion
OF hasting crowds and swiftly
falling rain;
Light dawned for them-ah,
brighter than the sum-
AS face to face at last they
met again,
All unaware of springtime's
madcap mood
While through their hearts
life's April poured its flood.

stream, carrying valuable prop
critics with them. Hence the
beauty Of the native body.
Experiments were made and
the cream produced resembling
the natura. oils used by the
natives.
This cream doesn't perform
any miracles. It must be ap-
piled over a period of time to
have the desired effect. It
looks, feels, smells like smooth
carnation scented cream-and
no more.
But it penetrates the pores,
carrying with it the secretions
that your own body used to
manufacture for itself in the
days before youth began to
fade.
Many Functions
Besides keeping the ordinary
skin fabricated, this cream is
helpful in rounding out hollow
cheeks, Tightening the muscles
under the chin, eradicating
wrinkles and smoothing out
fatigue lines.
To use this cream, you must
first cleanse your face thor
oughly, so that no dirt will be
taken into the blood stream.
Whether you use soap and
water or some other cleansing
agent, be sure that it too isn't
left on the face to interfere
with the action. Use just
enough Of the cream for a
smooth covering of the finger
tips. Use a light upward and
outward stroke in applying it
and complete with a brisk pat
ting to assist absorption and
stimulate circulation.
The cream should be used
every night for at least a week
before you can expect to see
the first definite result. You
may also put it on as a daytime
base for makeup, if you want
to speed the process. 1t may
also be maSsaged into the skin
Of the body after the daily
warm bath.
If you write in to me I will
be glad to furnish you with the
name of this product and tell
you where it may be found.

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Nice Hands

Question: My hands never
look as well as they should. I
do all of my own hOusewOrk, but
I do try to keep a hand lotion
handy and put few drops on
my hands when 1 take them out
of water. This seems rather a
stupid thing to ask you, but
some of my friends who also do
their work have evidently
learned the secrN of hand pro-
lection, and I would like to have
nice hands. S. w.
Answer: The handy bottle of
hand lotion is a very excellent
beginning toward beautiful
hands. Have you learned the
little brush secret when wash
ing dishes? These brushes not
only get the dishes clean, but
they keep your hands out of hot
water. Then, of course, you put
on rubber gloves when you do
any very thorouSh scrubbing.
We do not advocate spending
all of your time slipping into
rubber gloves, but they do help
a lot when the stove gets it's
"Workover" and the kitchen
floor gets it's drubbing. At night
rub cream or vaseline into the
nails and cuticle, and massage
it we'll into the hands. A lemon
kept beside the hand lotion will
remove most vegetable or fruit
stains collected along with the
evening meal.

Correct
Manners

BEECKMAN

Arranging for q Baptism
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
AS I am a stranger here, I
would like your help on the
following question:
/. wish to have my babe
baptized in the Episcopal
Church, and I would like to
know if I could make arrange
ments for this over the tele-
phone, or would personal call
at the rectory be necessary?
2. Would a fee of 81 be suffi-
cient to offer the minister, and
If so, when is this presented?
H.
/. This question of the bap-
tism of your baby is such an
important and significant one,
that it requires a personal call
to consult with the clergyman.
I wouldn't like to have him
think that you regarded it as
so casual that a telephone call
would do. If it is really inn
possible for you to call at the
rectory, I suggest that you
write a note to the clergyman
explaining this to him, and
ask him if it would be con-
venient for him to come to see
you, or to have his assistant
come to see you. I am sure
that he would thoroughly un-
derstand this. This personal
call, either at the rectory or at
your home, is especially i'm
portant since you are a new
conner to this city.
2. The amount of your fee to
the clergyman is entirely a
question of your circumstances,
but don't hesitate to offer a
small sum if this represents
your honest mite" Indeed,
the church and the clergyman
would understand if you ex-
plain that it is difficult for you
to offer any fee to the church.
The fee is given after the
baptismal ceremony has been
performed,

Umbrella Etiquette

N- ~@~S~
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper for a young man
to carry an open umbrella on a
rainy day while walking with a
young lady, or should the young
lady carry the umbrella?
If the umbrella is closed, is it
proper for the young lady to
carry it, or should the young
man carry it? S.
/. It's proper for the young
man to carry the umbrella, but
it isn't at all necessary for him
to do so if the girl considers
that it is more convenient for
her if she carries her umbrella
and he carries his. If there is
only one umbrella, the man
should carry it.

to carry her own umbrella. J..
