my property and insurance to
her, cutting out my three mother.

under her influence at the time,
did this.
81 had previously given this
lady $50 to buy a wedding ring,
and she brought back one which
cost $3.50, leaving me to pay the
difference. When I saw her next,
she was without the ring. She
has never lived with me as my
wife. She claims she cannot live
on my salary. UNHAPPY"
Please lose no time about con-
Sulting a lawyer, or the Legal
Aid Society about the various
indignitieS to which this lady has
subjected you. There isn't space
to print half the horrors you've
confided in me.
If things are as you have
stated in your letter, better have
your marriage annulled and

nave Deen III LQe past.
Many of the sets come with
knobby wooden forks and spoons
and matching plates or individual
wooden bowls. Matching bottles
for the oil and vinegar are feat
tured.
This means that the making Of
the salad takes the form Of a
ritual. The dressing can be made
in the true French style, with Just
the oil, vinegar, salt, white pepper
and suspicion of garlic. The genu-
inc French dressings do not have
paprika, sugar, mustard, and other
ingredients that we usually add
for additional flavor. Their recipe
uses / tablespoon of vinegar with
3 tablespoons Of oil. About IA tea
spoon of salt and a good dash Of
pepper is added.
The combinations of vegetables
used in these tossed salads vary
considerably. They can be changed
from time to time, varying with
the season. This combination is
a very popular one:
Fall Salad
head Of lettuce using hearts
and shredding outside leaves
1 bunch of radisheS
u chopped onion
% cup of diced celery
Fingers of cucumbers marinated
and chilled
Wedges of tomatoes
Chill the vegetables until crisp.
Chop. Arrange the lettuce. Add
the other ingredients. Then just
before serving add the dressing
and toss lightly. Serve with a
garnish of green peppers cut in
rings.
A salad similar to this served in
a wooden bowl is featured in one
cafeteria. Here the management
recommends toasted hard rolls or
corn sticks as the proper accom-
paniment.
Fruit salads made from fresh
fruits are also popular. Fresh
plums are in season and can be
used in salads of this type.
Green Gage Salad
cups of green gage plums
/ cup of broken nut meats
Bartlett pears
MayonnaiSe
Slice the plums, remove the
seeds and mix the chopped nut
meats and 3 tablespoons of
mayonnaiSe. Peel the pear halves
and pile the plum mixture lightly
on the pear halves. Serve on let
tuce with additional mayonnaiSe.
Combination Salad
9 plums
2 grapefruits
6 slices of pineapple
package of cream cheese
French dressing
Lettuce.
Halve and stone the plums. Sec
ton the grapefruit or use the
canned variety. Arrange the
slices of pineapple on the lettuce.
Surround with the grapefruit sec
lions. In the center use three
plum halves each filled with a
small ball of cream cheese. Serve
with French dressing.

I am devout1y thankful that

Naturally, the young man doesn't

should increase in proportion to the
shortening of the distances separating
them.
The growth of aviation in Latin
America has not been confined, how
ever, to the establishment of interna-
tional airways. The progress Of do
mestic aviation in nearly every one Of
the Latin American republics has
been equally impressive in the years
in which the pan-American air sys-
tenn was being built. In spite Of the
severe economic depression through
which all of them went since 1929,
the Latin American countries have
witnessed great strides in their own
commercial aeronautics. Their ma
tional lines are operating today more
than $4,000 miles Of airways.
The result of this unprecedented air
development is that. having thus over
come the otherwise insurmountable
barriers of high mountain ranges and
vast areas of uncharted land, the
Latin Americans have at last begun
to break down their disintegrated ma
tional economies, the greatest handi-
cap to their material progress in the
past. The fruits which they already
are reaping, both internally in their
domestic prosperity and externally in
their contacts with those Of their
neighbors who also are growing COM
mercial wings, should be sufficient
demonstration. that they have not
taken TO the air in vain.

Cooperative Agricultural Project
Raises Farmers Wage to S. Day

Sir PeHival said. made a profit OF
more than $4,000 last year, the av-

being above $1,000, or about $40 a
week. The highest wage averaged
$32. $50 q week.
These figures compare with the

of SITS a week.
The third farm, however, operated
at a loss, thought due to a severe
Spring frost, but the men neverthe-
less were paid the society's standard
rate, rs per cent above the district
minimum.
Sir Percival thinks the experiment
shows the value of new methods, and
is an important development in Brit
ish agriculture. The farmers concen-
trate on growing food. while the selling
and organization work is left to ex-
perts in those fields. The scheme is
being studied by officials concerned

AIRWAY DEVELOPMENT
BRINGS AMERICAS CLOSER
Reap Moral and Material Benefits Lead.
ing to Better Political Under
standing.

the Dominican Republic and the
Central American countries are all
within one or two days Of Miami:
Havana and Mexico City are but
hours away.
Influence Is Two-Fold.
The influence of aerial communica-
ton between the Americas is two
fold; moral and material. The first
to derive benefits is, Of course, inter-
national trade. With the aid OF
aerial transportation, commercial in
terchange is greatly encouragement
only because innumerable commodi-
ties of small volume can be directly
conveyed by air express, but mainly
because the airmail service, rapid.
immediate in itself, greatly facilitates
commercial operations, financial ar
rangements and all business transac-
tions in general.
United States exporters, previous
to the Inauguration of airman to
Latin America, had to struggle with
the lack of facilities for the rapid
conveying to South American mar
kets of samples. parts and other ar
ticles which were urgently needed to
overcome European competition. The
transportation of small packages con-
tanning samples required the same
length of time as that of a 50-ton
locomotive, the delivery of which in
two days or in two months was i'm
material.
The quickest steamship service to
Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, for
instance, took from IL to II days, and
those to other important Southern
commercial centers from 20 to IS
days. To this had to be added the
time employed in the identification Of
custom documents, port formalitiss
and the usual delays caused by un-
favorable sailing weather conditions.
Political Advantages.
The suppression of all these bar
riers and the great saving of time
which 1t represents is not the only
accomplishment OF inter-American
aerial communication. Even more i'm
portant. and certainly more far-reach-
ing than these immediate material
advantages. are the political benefits
which it will bring in the way Of
closer personal contacts. Understand
ing among nations grows out of the
knowledge which they have of one
another. And among the most ap-
propriate ways Of developing that
knowledge is the promotion Of quicker
means Of communication. Mutual
knowledge between peoples Of different
origin and different points Of nsw
