another throne, Crown Princess JUL
lana of the Netherlands, and her
new husband, Prince Bernhard in
Vienna, Austria, the latter part of

Shortly before he babe fearful
farewell to his sister Mary, the Prin-
cess Royal, Edward Unexpectedly
met Juliana in the dining room of
the Bristol hotel.
The duke gave Juliana an impul-
sive embrace and chatted with her
for 10 minutes, mostly about skiing,
of which both are devotees.
Both Princess Mary and her
brother were deeply moved when
they parted at the Vienna station,
ending a weeks visit. The princess
hid her grief in a bouquet of roses
and violets the former British mon
arch had given her, while many of
the women onlookers wept.
Edward showed anger when mo-
ton picture cameramen attempted

Crash of Big Sky Liner Brings
Total Deaths Since Month
of December to 43

Salvagers hoisted wrecked sky
liner with its dead crew Of three
from the depths of San Francisco
bay last week and divers CROPPED for
the bodies of eight passengers while
puzzled officials sought the cause OF
the spectacular plunge within sight
of the destination of the transport.
The huge, new planes death dive
in fair weather brought to 43 the
number of perons killed in western
airplane tragedies since December
Is and intensified official determi-
nation to single out and curb the
unidentified hazards.
Recovery efforts started with the
raising of the 12-ton ship out Of 26
feet of water about three miles off
the municipal airport south Of San
Francisco.
Huge cranes brought the wreckage
to the surface, revealing Pilot A. r.
(Tommy) Thompson, one of United
Airlines' star pilots, crushed to death
in the control seat. The mangled
body of Co-Pilot Joe De CeSaro was
at Thompson's side.
Nearby, in the forward part of the
plane, was the unscratched body of
Steward Ruth Kimmel.
The roof of the fuselage was torn
out, apparently by the impact Of the
eight passengers striking against it
as the big ship struck the water and
Topped over on its back with terri
fic force. Apparently the passengers
bodies had slipped through the gap
ing roof hole and out into the bay.
Divers worked from two boats,
but murky water and shifting cur
rents made uncertain their search
for the planes victims. Boatmen ex-
pressed the belief the bodies might
be caught in the mud of the bay
lotion unless tides and currents
carried them to deep water.

MILK

l. For good health, milk should be
included in the diet of every man,
woman and child. Of all foods, milk
is the outstanding and, in fact, the
most important single food known.
2. Milk improves health. It brings
to our bodies all of the important
things we need for energy and
growth, and when used with vitanin.
D, found in sunshine, cod liver oil or
viosterol, helps to make good bones
and good teeth. Milk is our best
source of calcium, so necessary for
teeth and bones.
3. Milk should not be limited to
infants, who thrive on it. It is also
an essential food for the growing
child. It is an essential food for
adults, too. It is imperative that
pregnant and nursing mothers have
milk if babies are to develop and
thrive as they should.
4. The recommendation of nutri-
ton and health authorities that
more milk be used should be given
serious consideration by all parents.
If this advice is followed, growing
children will receive the amount of
milk necessary for good health and
strong bodies.
5. All children should have
quart of milk every day, and adults
at least one pint. Use milk freely
as a drink, hot or cold, plain or flaw
ored; with buildings, cereals, cream
soups; or as ice cream.
6. Compared with other foods of
similar values, milk is the cheapest;
never "stint" with milk.
7. Remember:
Your child needs milk for his
health and growth.
You need it to keep your health.
Don't deprive yourself and your
family of the most nearly perfect
food
There is no substitute for milk

WORLD CALENDAR WINS
APPROVAL OF NATION

News reaches Washington from
the League of Nations that it has
voted to submit to all governments
proposals for the adoption of the
World Calendar, so that it may 60
into effect on Sunday, January l,
1899.
For many years there has been a
growing demand throughout the
world among statesman, scientists,
high church officials, and business
men for a final adjustment of the
calendar. The last change was in the
eighteenth century when the Gre
gorian calendar was accepted in the
United States and other nations. But
the Gregorian calendar did not quite
succeed in accomplishing its pur-
poses.
The present reform of the calen-
dar will be on the twelve-month
equal-quarter basis, i. e.; January,
81 days; February 80; March, 30;
April, 81; May, 30; June, 80; July,
81; August, 80; September, 80; Octo-
Der, 81; November, 80; December,
30-with an extra "Year Day" fol-
lowing December 80. This makes
what is believed to be a perfect cal
endar. There will be an extra Leap
Day" in each leap year.
Many movements for calendar re-
form have received consideration
throughout the world, strictly on
their merits. The World Calendar
has meet all the tests, and seems in
fair way to gain approval.
