LONG DELAY SEEN
BY MISS EARHART
OverhauIing of Damaged
Plane Expected to Be Com
pIeted by End of May.
BY AMELIA EARHART.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.

BURBANK, Calf, April 12.-About
week ago at Los Angeles harbor my
sirplane was lowered over the side of
the steamer which brought it from
Hawaii. Only yesterday were Lock-
heed engineers able to tell me the
extent of the damage suffered on the
attempted take-off at Luke Field, Hon.
olulu. Their pronouncement is, Five
weeks will be needed for recondition-
ing and repair"
Like broken bones which nature
knits slowly in her own special process,
the injured parts of an airplane must
be painstakingly restored. There is
no short cut TO full usefulness in
either case if perfect healing is desired.
In addition to healing" strength
enlng of certain members to withstand
the excessive strain overlooking sub
1ects them to, is in order for my pet.
This means some actual redesigning,
another process which cannot be hur-
ried. AS to the precious engines,
they are already in the Pacific auto
motive shops here at Burbank being
thoroughly checked After the plane
and engines are put together some
time must be allowed for testing.
Ready to Fly in Late May.
All in all, it looks as if the trip
could not be resumed before late May.

on nearly so happily without known
and unknown well-Wishers. I could
not carry on at all without help and
encouragement from G. P. P.
There is, too, a humanitarian aspect
to the fight. 1t concerns my naVi-
gator r-to-be, Capt. Fred Noonen, who,
after our 16-hour voyage to Honolulu,
seems to want to continue aS ship
mate. Shortly before the Oakland
take-off he was in serious automo-
bile accident. Three days ago he sur
vived another highway smashup. Now
he and Mrs Noonen are eager for him
to take to the air again for safety
It's sad but true that the stresses
and strains of an airplane accident
are just as severe financially as they
are mechanically. So I am more or
less mortgaging the future to go on.
But what are futures for?
Miss Earhart Expected Here.
George Palmer Putnam, Miss Ear
hart's husband, interviewed at the
Barclay Hotel in New York yesterday,
said his wife probably would make a
brief visit here in about 10 days to care
for some business matters in connec-
ton with the flight.
Mr.. Putnam was asked to estimate
the actual cost of the accident, in
repairs and resulting changes in plans.
Just how much we cannot tell yet,"
he replied. But plenty!"
He emphasized the fact, as originally
announced, that the project has no
sponsor" its only financial returns
which help to defray costs, being from
mail covers" for collectors which will
be carried, and from Miss Earhart's
writing for newspapers.
The Stamp Department of Gimbels
announced in connection with the re-
newed Earhart flight that there will
be second issue Of covers limited in
number. They will be differentiated

layed In such flying projects as this
patience has an important place in
a pilots equipment. But with good
fortune the Electra and I hope to
shove off from Oakland again some
time in the month of May.
OF course, the delay may act to
alter the original route here and there
Weather conditions will have changed
in some sections SO that number of
hops planned may not be feasible. On
the other hand, some may be easier.
What will be the final balance cannot
be guessed until we have studied the
weather maps Of the world and talked
with meterologists who know the
habits of winds and rain and ocean
currents around the earth's waistline.
What the least shift in the route
means can only be appreciated when
it is realized that fuel, oil, and sup
plies have to be shifted correspond
ingly. And especially spare parts and
mechanics already arranged for at
designated points offer special prob
lens in the replanning. Courses laid
out on maps must be replotted and
time for covering different distance
calculated again.

Showers
ByMRS.CORNELIUs BEECKMAN

ByMRS. CORNELIUS BEECkMAN
''Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Recently a miscellaneous show
er was given by the sister Of the
groOm-tO-be for the bride-tO-be in
a large hall, with an attendance
of approximately 200 people. The
guests were friends and acquain-
tanceS of the sisters of the groom.
The bride, 1 am sure, knew not
more than a dozen of the guests
"There is a lot of discussion re-
garding this affair and we are
looking to you for your opinion as
to whether or not this was correct.
"F."
This would have been a delight
full kind of party for the sisters
of the groom to give-if it hadn't
been a shower. But it isn't con-
sidered good form for member OF
either the brides or the groom's
family to give a shower. And it is
supposed that, to a shower, only
relatives and close friends of the
bride are invited. I should think
that this shower might deservedly
have caused a lot of discussion"

Baked Fish
Cakes

Fish cakes served with tartar

prepared Southern style with rice,
is tasty and easy to prepare.

2 cups of flaked leftover fish
l large onion
/ teaspoon of salt
| cup of cooked rice
/ teaspoon of worcestershire
70 teaspoon of pepper

Mix rice, fish, chopped onion
and seasonings. Melt the butter.
Add the slightly beaten egg. Form
into round cakes and place in a

about eight medium sized fish

it as anything but a bit of bad
going on an otherwise pleasant
adventure.
After the evening meal, which
was neither dinner nor supper,
but fell considerably short of both
standards, Mrs. Smith would bring
out an old atlas, and they'd pick
out the places they'd like to visit
if only they had the price.
MIR. Smith fell into the game,
and would bring home folders
from travel bureaus, and they'd
gloat over pictures of the Grand
Canyon, the Yosemite, and pre-
Revolutionary towns along the
Hudson.
Books from the public library
cost nothing, and aided and
allotted their pipe-dream. And
every place that sounded good,
they'd put a star on, and think
of the fun Of going there some
day.
Well, the miracle came to pass!
With the dawning of better times,
about '33, Mr.. Smith got a job,
and Mrs. Smith kept right on with
her odd jobs and a few more be
sides.
And now, four years later, they
are going to some of the places
they dreamed about when the
wolf was looking in at the door. i"
They are driving in a good second
hand car, and are going to camp
and cook their own meals-just

large majority Of the bathing suits
are of cotton-prints made into
smart dressmaker suits that will
be seen everywhere as the season
gets under way.
Best for Sports
But perhaps cottonS are more at
home in the sports field. Certainly
such activities as golf and tennis
demand cottonS. This years dis
covery is the badminton or tennis
dress, short and pleated, built for
activity, and smart to look at. 1t
has the main requirement for any
costume, it is perfect for its pur-
pose. Under it you wear a pair of
shorts, and you are dressed for
fast game.
Cotton culottes, shorts and Stacks
are worn for all sorts of sports,
and are mated with skirts or tops
of various types. Nothing is much
smarter or more practical, and, of
course cotton is the best material
because it washes.
For Formal Affairs
But it is in more formal
clothes that cottons shine, even
if they are of such great prac-
ticability for sports. There are
lovely afternoon voiles, cotton
prints and Swisses, made with
bits of lace and hand touches,
which are grand for any after
noon affair in the summer. There
are organdies for garden parties,
with big hats to match, romantic
and exquisite. And there are
novelty cottonS that offer great
chic and individuality. In the
evening, cottons are suitable for
any summer occasions. They run
very decidedly to two types, the
full-skirted organizes and nous
selines and the simmer pique
dresses. Even glazed chintz is
used this year, and makes some
very striking dresses. Dotted
Swiss. especially in red and white
or black and white, is lovely,
and is made in the most en-
trancing styles. Many Of these
evening gowns may be washed
each time they are worn, and so
are doubly lovely.

The use of cotton has been
changed the past few years be-
cause Of many things. One fact
is that the fabrics are so much
more attractive. Another is that
the materials in high-grade gar
ments are really shrunk before
they are made up, so that you can
depend on them to hold their size.
No more of that thing OF buying
your clothes two sizes too large
to be sure. Someday soon we will

for shrinkage, but space will not

High In Fashion
In spite of all this, however, the
real reason we wear more cottonS
is that they are smart. We like
their cool crispness, the fact that
that they can be washed and will
come out looking better than they
went into the tub. And the col
ors, patterns and styles in cottons
are second to none.
Sports and beach clothes are OF
