a great deal Of jabbering and sour

Of the order. Then finally I got

Well, custom sometimes makes

Oranges, grapefruit, melons or

Of us. But we could well afford,
considering their virtues as a food,
to vary the monotony with ba-

First, because bananas and milk

balanced ration. Children who can
be persuaded to drink milk alone
with the greatest difficulty have
been found to take it willingly
when served with bananas.

completely digestible. It used to
be said that they were not digesti-
BILE, but this was only when they
were eaten before they were ripe.
They have, when matured, a good
quantity Of natural fruit sugars,
vitamins and minerals.
They have an especial appeal to
old people. AS time goes on you
will find that you begin to like
better and better foods that do not
require the use of teeth. Bananas
need little chewing, and their nu-
tritious and easily utilizable nutri-
tional qualities make them suitable
for the old as well as the young.
Like most fruits bananas are
put up by nature in a germ-proof
package. They carry their own
cellophane. Unlike apples, peaches
and pears, this covering Is not
easily broken. The discolorations
which so quickly form on the ba-
mana after it is sliced are not due
to bacterial action or decay, but
are chemical change and can be
prevented from forming by cutting
the bananas directly into a solution
OF cream Of tartar, corn syrup and
water.
The formula for the solution IL
one and one-half teaspoons cream
Of tartar and three cups Of tap wa
ter; stir thoroughly, let settle and
pour off the clear solution, discard

luton add two-thirds cup Of corn
syrup (white) and three cups more

nanas directly into this and remove
them Immediately with perforat-
ed spoon. They will then keep two
hours without discoloration. -

EASTERN AIR LINE
ORDERS SUPER SHIP
Four-Engined, 40.Passenger Plane
to Have Maximum Contract
Speed of 23O Miles.

A contract for development of
four-engined, 40-passenger super-air-
liner Of 1000 horsepower and 25-ton
weight has been signed by Eastern Air
Lines, operating through Washington,
1t has been announced by Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker, general manager.
The new plane, nearly double the
size of the largest landplane ever built
In America, is to have contract
speed which would make possible 5I2-
hour schedules between New York and
Miami or Chicago and New Orleans.
The maximum speed would be 23O.
Development of the plane will be
made possible, it was explained, by a
sharing of preliminary engineering
costs by the five major airlines Of the
United States, acting through the re-
Gently organized Air Transport Asso-
citation of America. The plane will be
built by the Douglas Aircraft Co. of
Santa Monica, Calf.
Due to the revolutionary advance in
design and construction involved in
producing the giant plane, the cost of
the first model is expected to be about
$500,000. The plane is to be built to
specifications representing the com.
bined experience of executives, engi-
neers. pilots and technical and trafic
advisers of the Eve major airlines.
These lines, in addition to Eastern, are
American Airlines, Pan-American Air
ways, Transcontinental g. Western Air

Government construction OF q feet
Of commercial lighter-than-air craft
and replacement of the Inflated Akron
and Macon with new airshipS for joint
Army and Navy use was recommended
TO q Senate Air Safety Committee
yesterday by aviation experts.
Among the witnesses was Comdr
Charles e. Rosendahl, who survived
the crash of the ill-fated Shenandoah.
He pleaded with the committee to
put fear behind and look upon the
Eeppelin-type craft as necessary part
of the air transportation and defense
system.
Goodyear Officials Heard.
Backing up Rosendahl was the teSti-
fnony Of S. A. Knowles of the Good
year Zeppelin Corp. of Akron, Ohio,
and a statement by Paul w. Litchfield,
president Of the Goodyear Tire g.
Rubber Co. The Goodyear organiza-
ton built the Akron, which crashed
in a storm of the New Jersey Coast,
and the Macon, which made a forced
landing in the ocean of California
q few months later.
RoSendahl spoke briefly to urge con-
etruction of at least one zeppelin-type
dirigible to be exchanged between the
Navy and Army every few months to
train personnel in the operation of
such craft.
Knowles proposed a type Of Gov
ernment subsidy similar to that pro-
Vided the merchant marine to start
q passenger and mail service between
America, Europe and the Far East.
He said that would be one way of
meeting the competition OF France
and England with their new passenger
liners. the Normandie and Queen

Cooperative System.
He advocated a cooperative system
with Germany, since that nation had
made success Of oversee air trans
portation.
For half the cost of a super liner"
he said, you can build a whole feet
Of airships, build terminals and start
a service that will cut transportation
time in half"
Litchfield argued in his paper that
the airship was an economical mode
Of fast transportation for long distance
flights.
From the standpoint of economics, -
he said, the airship will prove superior
to the aiplane by virtue of its lower
operating cost per ton mile"
Increased safety on present airlines
through more thorough Government
inspection was urged by Edgar S.
Gorrell, president OF the Air Trans
port Association of America. He said
so inspectors of the Bureau of Air
Commerce had the task of examining

pilots, 5000 airplanes and 2,500 me-
