bird couldn't make a landing on
what I am looking down on now
without fracturing both hips. Be-
low me, and close on both sides, are
just a heap Of Andes. The Andes
look high, even on a map, but 1t
is not until you get real chummy
with them that you realize what
formidable chunks of rock they are,
Our plane is crossing them
through a pass, but you'd never
know it was a pass. We are up
about 1900 feet and we have to
look up to see the tops of most of the
peaks. Many of them never have
been scaled by man, and it is easy
to understand why. Their submits
are as sharp as needles and coated
with ice and snow which have been
there for centuries.
No Single Sign of Life.
There isn't, one single sign of
life on them, and while it is warm
and cozy inside the big Panagra
plane, a man would have to have
more than a muffler and a suit of
long underwear to last long on the
side of one of the peaks.
The trip from Buenos Aires to
Santiago has often been described
as the most spectacular and breath
taking Of all airplane flights. It
must be. AS far as the eye can see
there Is nothing but snow-capped
peaks, each a different color accord
ing to how the sun plays upon it.
Those close by-and it seems that
one could reach his hand out of the
window and grab handful of snow
are black as midnight. Those
peaks 10, is or 20 miles away are as
blue as sapphires and the distant
ones look as if they had been
brushed with coral.
Thousands of feet below, deep in
the gorges, run the rivers, fed by
glaciers. The sun has turned them
to gold, just as it has the lakes.
The crossing of the Andes is made
all the more spectacular by the ap-
proach to them. For hours, after
leaving Buenos Aires, the plane rides
above the vast. fiat plains of Argen-
tina, home of the wheat and the
beef. Then, almost as if they had
sprung from the ground overnight,
stand the mighty mountains. There
are little or no foothills. One mo-
ment you pass over the plains as
fiat as the palm of ones hand, the

Those who Harold L.. 1ckes. !
studied the market reports that day
were confronted by such comments
as appeared in one New York paper
which said: Several advances in
leaders marked resumption of trad
ing after summer -end recess" How
ever, the anxious reader might have
discovered a disturbing number of
one to four point losses in the stock
market quotations. Twenty -four
hours later. any suspicion that, all
was not quite right became reality.
Westinghouse had gone off 4 points,
Western Union 37s. American Tele-
phone and Telegraph AS, and so on
throughout the entire list. Still,
there was no note of alarm.
Headlines Of September 5.
On September 5, however, the ugly
truth thrust its visage through the
headlines: SALES WAVE TOP
PIES AS BABSON PREDICTS
CRASH. BREAK OF TO IL
POINTS FOLLOWS EXPERT S
FORECAST OF STAMPEDE" Mr..
Babson was quoted as saying that,
sooner or later, prices would fall
from 60 to 80 points in decline
rivaling the collapse of the Florida
land boom. Shares of all descrip-
tions were thrown overheard, and
the ticker dragged more than Is
minutes behind sales. The casualty
list showed Eastman Kodak off 4
points, International Harvester
down 4, Macy and Co. off SIS, and
so on and on.
1t took almost two months for the
twister to blow itself into a steady,
although still high, wind. On Octo-
Der 20, almost 16,500,000 shares were
sold. The experts, who had been
making reassuring statements that
pnly "injudicious spectators" were
being hurt, lay quiet, nursing their
own bruises. 1t was obvious that 1t
was not the gambler" alone who
were being wiped out. The lifetime
savings of millions of Americans
had gone down the drain.
At the end of the year, however,
Andrew-W. Mellon, the optimistic
Secretary of the Treasury, an
that he could "see nothing
in the present situation that is
either menacing or warrants pes
simism," proving again that there
is none SO blind as he who will not
see." The Secretary of State of one
of our greatest industrial States OBJ
served that businessmen close
their books for 1929 with a feeling
of satisfaction and look forward
to 1880 with anticipation of another
good year. Lewis PierSon, a
New York banker, said that 1.-The
recession (sicD, due to causes other
than those involved in the business
has left no major problem
to be solved. There are now evi-
dences of growing activity, and the
current situation is favorable" In
his stubborn optimism, ne could not

Of breadlines, smokeless factories, |

B|ueberry Season
By ADAMS

Burberry season is here and il
extends well into the early fall.
If you agree with me, you like
all the summers berries. But
blues, especially the big, juicy,
perfectly cultivated Ones, offers
perhaps more possibility of variety
in recipes than any of the rest.
Here are some suggestions for
ways of preparing blues to de-
light your family - old and new
reminders of their versatility.
know you won't forget that there's
nothing to surpass blueberries with
powdered sugar and heavy cream.
Burberry Omelet
(Two Servings)
2 egg yolks
IA cup confectioner's sugar
IL teaspoon vanilla or a graf
ing of orange or lemon rind
4 egg whites
1-8 teaspoon salt
l IL teaspoons butter
IL cup cultivated %blueberries
Confectioner's sugar
Beat egg yolks until light. Beat
in gradually the confectioner's
sugar. Add vanilla or grated rind.
Whip egg whites until stiff and add
salt. Fold whites lightly into
yolk mixture. Melt butter in skill
let and pour in omelet mixture.
Cook over slow fire. Cover with a
lid. While cooking, slash across
the omelet several times with a
knife to permit the heat to pene-
trate the slight crust On the bot
tom. When done, add the blueber-
-ies and fold the omelet over. It
should be soft on the inside.
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar
before serving.

BY SARA YOKLEY

NEW YORK, July IA -U.R--
More than 100 fashion editor
came to the big town today for
q gander at the most radically
different clothes the American
woman has worn In many a dec
ade.
And the editors, here FOR tht
ninth National Press week OF :ht
New York dress institute, vii
have plenty to tell the folks bacl
home.
Here's a sample: for the frs
time since Joan Crawford display
ed what broad shoulders can dc
for a gals figure, clothes have
little or no padding. Hoods ana
capes are attached to everything
but nightowns and probably VII
invade the boudoi. before the sea
sons over.
Milliners are passing off huge
puffed up cushions for hats anc
Insisting they be worn with the
ear-covering spaniel hair-dos O.
the 2O's. On evening wear racks,
gowns of wool and quilted rain
coat-cloth hang side by side with
those of lame and heavy brocade.
And if all the designers pooled
the sequins, p~ailettes, gold braid,
let and bugle beads they've used
on fall clothes they'd have enough
tor the Queen Mary.
In the MIDST Of all this clothing
confusion there is n designer
Maurice Rentner-who knows how
to use a fad or leave 1t alone.
The average woman cannot afford
his clothes. but she'll buy a bet
ter wardrobe if she follows his
example of restraint.
The signature CT the Rentner
collection is the elegant suit. Typ
ically lovely is one with a pink
brown wool jacket with big cop
per buttons and napkin pockets.
Beneath it is a brown dress with
simple satin top and graceful
wool skirt. Another version in
black wool has a beautifully work
ed red and gold emblem, placed
like a pocket on the cardigan
Jacket, and a similar emblem en-
broidered on the right hip of a
matching black wool dress.
Rentner knows what to do with
jet beads. GOLD and pearls. He
uses them for a shock effect on
4 simple black suit. On the back
of the jacket, just below the col
Er, he places MS graceful exit
4 small v-shaped mass Of jet and
gold. On a beige jersey dress he
embroiders a Dickens collar and
cuffs in geld, pearls and rubies.
Seeing clothes py Kiviette after
viewing a Rentner collection is
like placing a painted chorus girl
beside a duchess. Her most start
ling creation looks like a costume
for a well-heeled little Egypt"
It's a red WOOL evening cape -
hooded of course-edged from top
to bottom with a wide border of
gold and rainbow colored beads.
