Nse by one woman of my acquaintance
Who has to combine household duties
with remunerative occupation which
en- be done 1T home. Her schedule Is
g important as her engagement book
n which dates and times are noted for
social engagements.
Tho schedule Is made the night be-
lpre each week day. Hours and even
minutes are definitely set down against
Zach occupation and the times stipu-
1ted for each task are adhered to. The
work on one thing is stopped when 1t IS
&me for the next to begin. The amount
q time required for the specific things
3 sufnciently allowed for, such as
PREPARATION Of foods for meals, serving
them and clearing up afterward. For
example, while meals are punctual, the
time which is needed for the prepara-
ton and cooking Of some foods Is less
than others. Therefore, the scheduled
time for getting meals varies with
menus. A certain flexibility results, and
70 each day has its agreeable variety
without sacrificing efficiency.
Every homemaker appreciates her
multiplicity Of tasks, and that many
of these tasks are continual although
constantly different. For example, sew
ing may consist Of dressmakmg or
darning, but it remains sewing. It needs
to be pushed ahead, sometimes Q little,
sometimes a great deal, each day, but
the idea Of getting 1t finished definitely
Is not considered any more than
actually finishing any daily routine
work. A dress is finished, . meal Is
through, but repetition in variety fol-

So In making . daily schedule. set

progresses. within the limitations OF the

along the lines most needed and within

One great advantage of this schedule

For the past three years Jameson
has been engaged during his spare time
in the design and construction of a
racing airplane, which was built in

The plane in which Jameson crashed
had left Atlanta carrying mail from
Florida to the north. Dick Merrill, who
flew from Atlanta, turned the plane
over to Jameson at Richmond and
Jameson took off at 2:03 o'clock yes
terday morning. Shortly after o'clock,
according to Associated Press dis
patches, residents of the Bowling Green
neighborhood were awakened by the
sound Of an airplane flying low and
apparently having motor trouble. A
few moments later the crash was heard.

CONVICTION IN AUTO

Novel by Appeals Court.

Declaring he had devised 20 new and
novel method Of defrauding and swim
ding the innocent public" the Court of
Appeals today affirmed the conviction
Of John Roland Beck, alias Robert L.
Bailey.
The man was charged with negotiating
with Q young woman for the purchase
Of her automobile for $780, He had
agreed to pay cash for the car when it
was delivered to his address, in the 1000
block Of Connecticut avenue.
When the young lady arrived with
the car. however, Beck told her he
get loan on the car and pay her from
the proceeds. According to the opin-
ion, he told her he would need the title
certificate and registration card for the
car in obtaining the loan. The young
woman made an assignment in blank
Of her title on the title certificate
and gave 1t to him. She then agreed
to let him use the car for two days
with the understanding 1t Would take
that long to arrange the lotn. Beck
Subsequently sold the car and was
charged with larceny.
Contending that both tie and pos
session Of the cad had passed. consti-
tuting a sale, Attorneys A. Philip Kane
and Maurice McInerney argued that

was vested merely with the custody Of
the certificate Of title and the use Of
the automobile for the purpose Of Sc
curing q loan. The court. said that in
