"Just take down what I say, word

So that afternoon the following
letter was brought to him to sign:

Paris, one of the largest flying boats
in the world.
Stunt Flying Banned.
There is more to this story of
aerial navigation than meets the
eye. Transoceanic flying hasn't
been merely a matter of building
one ship larger than the last and
seeing how far it would go without
refueling. Since Charles Lindbergh
first dreamed about it during his
New York-Paris hop, the best minds
of aviation have been working to de-
velop fool-proof ships that will run
mechanically.
Until such ships could be per-
fected, the United States was justi-
fed in frowning on stunt Atlantic
ships. That's why Doug Corrigan's
request for permit last year was
denied; it's why Corrigan had to
depend on a hayward compass to
fly his ship to Ireland a few weeks
ago.
Outside of the weight problem
mentioned above, engineers have
found most of their difficulty in con-
quering the weather. Unlike the Pa
cific, which is usually calm, the At
lantic is beset with atmospheric dis
turbances. Especially is this true
on the east-west hop, where until
last year there were relatively few
successful flights.
Until few weeks ago the ceiling
for commercial planes was 10000
feet. Since engineers have long
known that Atlantic weather dis
turbances could be overcome by
high attitudes, they have been seek
ing some means of reaching these
heights under practical conditions.
Although oxygen equipment has
been available to facilitate great
elevations, it weighs so much that
pay loads would be cut too low.
But from Sweden has come word
of new airplane motor capable of
sustained performance at attitudes
up to $4,000 feet. If it lives up to
its claims, the motor will facilitate
flights through the shakespeare
where weather is always calm.
U. S. Service Ready.
Whatever may have happened to
her supremacy on the high seas,

Iron und Copper

The mineral elements of grains
are concentrated largely in the
outer layers and in the germ. For
this reason, there is considerable
difference in the yield of minerals
from whole grain and highly re-
fined cereal foods.
The mineral content of bran is
from 10 to 20 times greater than
that of patent -four, and whole
wheat contains from three to five
times as much iron, calcium and
phosphorus. Bran, oatmeal and
whole grain cereals are a good
source of copper as well as iron.

signs that even beginners can fol.
low with no difficulty. And OF
course you can splurge on some
really luxury fabrics, when you
sew your own.
Play Suit and Sports Frock.
This new design gives you both!
The play suit has beautifully cut
shorts and a nice bodice top with
the sunniest kind of sunback. The
frock is created merely by fasten-
ing that straight skirt around you,
and the bolero goes with both!
Notice how cleverly the ricrac
braid is used to simulate a square
yoke in the front. The smartest
thing for this design is linen in a
dusty pastel shade; calico, per-
Gale and pique are good, too. Be
sure to trim it with ricrac.
Dress With Bodice Detailing.
Here's design that brings a
breath of fall smartness in the
bosom detailing that you'll see in
expensive models this coming sea-
son. Also in the Victorian sleeves,
high at the shoulders and fitted to
the arm below. The straight pan
Ell in the. back, the gathers at the
waistline in front, give you a love-
ly fgure-line. Although it's so dis
tinguished looking and subtly de-
tailed, this dress is easy to make.

has been more fully appreciated
since it was discovered that it is
at least five times as rich in vita
min B as the whole grain or bran.
There are several cereals on the
market containing added wheat
germ and this precious substance
may also be obtained in concen-
trated form.

Diqestibility of Gruins

The whole grain products are
less completely digested than
those which are more highly re-
fined, but as they contain larger
amounts of protein, it is estimated
that the amount of protein digest
ed and absorbed from an equal
weight of entire wheat or patent
fiOurs is practically the same.
Thus when the two types of fiours
are considered as sources of pro-
tein and energy alone, they are re-
garded by nutritionists as substan-
tally equivalent and inter-
changeable.

Laxative Volue Of Cereals

The whole grain cereals contain
an abundance of bulk or cellulose
and are therefore a valuable aid
in promoting normal elimination.
Individuals differ in their require
ment for foods having a laxative
effect, and in some cases one must
be guided by personal experience.
But inasmuch as the whole grain
products furnish the body with
larger amounts of minerals and
vitamins B and G, a good general
rule is to consume at least half
of ones bread and other cereal
foods in the whole grain form.

store of fuel value at such

LONDON OVERNIGHT!
Doesn't Sound Strange
After This Years
Ocean Flights
BY JOSEPH w. LaBINE

In New York a hard-hoiled
prize fight announcer led his
audience in prayer. Throughout
America one hundred million
minds were focused on some
vague spot over the briny At
lantic where Charles A. Lind
bergh was plotting his Esprit
of St. Louis" to Paris and fame.
That was in 1927, only II
years ago.
Anew days ago another trans
atlantic flight ended and only a
few hundred people bothered to
read about it. Of more than so
such trips being planned this
summer, only two are attract
ing much attention, those of
Howard Hughes and Douglas
Corrigan, the mistake" fiier.
The ocean flight that made
people hold their breath a
decade ago has now become
commonplace, and rightly so.
This does not dim the &C
complishment of Lindbergh;
it merely means that trans
oceanic aviation has grown up, that
science has begun to capitalize on
its carefully planned program of
conquering the Atlantic.
The Hughes trip was but a fore
runner of this summers transatlan-
tic travel, back-and-forth series of
journeys that will keep the waves
humming for weeks to come. The
airships of four nations are flying
from Europe to New York over diff
ferent routes in series of Survey"
flights. Great Britain started things
off few weeks ago when the Mer-
curry, unique pick-a-back plane,
scared away from the mother ship,
Maia, over Foynes, Ireland. The
Mercury landed at Montreal 22z
hours later.
Takeoff Load Problem.
This neutrality-suspicious.
back composite ship has attracted
more attention than any aviation de-
velopment in recent years. British
engineers worked on the well-found-
ed theory that ship can fly easily
carrying excess weight but it can't
take off with much extra load. Espe-
cially is this true of seaplanes,
which are held down by suction of
the water on their pontoons. So the
Maia and the Mercury, locked to-
gether, rise from the airport as
single unit and separate in mid-air.
The Maia is land ship, the Mer-
curry seaplane.
Flying a different route-from the
Azores to New York-the Germans
are working with three seaplanes,
Nordwind, Nordmeer and Nord-
stern. The ships belong to Deutsche
Lufthansa and are making IA round
trips this year preparatory to start
ing regular transatlantic mail serv-
ice.
France is experimenting this sum-
mer with the Lieut.. de Vaisseau

food. In spite of all this, the cat for
sock the comforts of his bed and ducked
through a hole in a partition and was
lost in the expanse of the big hay NOW.
After tramping around in the hay,
search was given up and the sight of a

Thirty-five days later as Haven rolled
