Travel Coat
MSI
• mm
K -I \
This fashionable traveler knows
how to choose a coat that gives her
“class!” It is of heavy blue wool
with large leather buttons. Tucks
from the shoulder form the pockets.
Novelty stripe, check and diagonal
wools are also high in favor for
travel coats. Some of the newest
long coats are made snug at the
waist line developing soft fullness
above and below.
Scotch Influence
New hats reflect a bit of Scotland
in shape as well as color.
Habits of Frogs and Toads
Most frogs and toads lay eggs in
water, but in France and southern
Europe the midwife toad lays her
eggs on the ground, where they are
deposited in a long string consisting
of as many as 50. While laying she
is attended by her mate, who
watches the whole proceeding, and
when she has completed her task he
takes, possession of them. He ar
ranges them round his hind legs and
loins. The eggs are bright yellow,
and when first laid are perfectly
round, but they soon become oval
~r flattened.

Rome to New York
In 15 Hours Seen
Sikorsky Predicts Speedy
Airplane Service .
NEW YORK.—Flights from New
York to Rome in 15 hours, around
the world junkets in a week, and
hops to the North pole in two or
three days in “flying yachts” within
10 years were predicted by Igor
Sikorsky, noted American plane de
signer.
“At the very latest by 1940,” said
Sikorsky, “there will be regular
passenger flights across the. Atlan
tic.”
The giant flying boats, he said,
will carry 80 to 100 persons, have
six motors of 2,500 horsepower each
and fly at 350 to 400 kilometers an
hour. They will carry 30 tons of
gasoline.
“The idea of having intermediate
stops at ‘floating islands’ must be
abandoned. They only cause loss
of time. The flight must be accom
plished in one hop, let’us say, from
New York to Brest, France.
“The crossing will be made at a
height of three or four thousand
kilometers to eliminate the neces
sity of compression cabins. It is ob
vious why a large machine is need
ed. The space is increased, the
passengers have more room and on
a long trip there is need of move
ment and freedom.”
Sikorsky declared the future of
aviation lies in the large ships.
“They are safer and speedier than
the small ones,” he said.
“I believe that the pioneering era
of aviation is well over. It was fin
ished for good with the flight of
Colonel Lindbergh across the At
lantic. The Lindbergh flight has
had an enormous influence on the
development of transcontinental
aviation.
“On the basis of that flight and
the experience of others who have
followed him it is now possible to
inaugurate Regular transatlantic
service,” the plane designer said.
With regular passenger service
across the Atlantic in 1939, Sikorsky
said, “commercial aviation reaches
its full maturity.”
Sikorsky, while conceding that
sub-stratosphere flying will be uti
lized, doubted if the bulk of com
mercial flying would be on this level
because of lack cf information of
“complications which might be en
countered” in that region.
Tradition and Modernism
Combined in New Houses
NEW YORK.—American home
builders are striking a happy me
dium between staid traditional and
the “nudist” type of ultra-modern
architecture by swinging mole
strongly than ever to traditional
forms, but with modern treatments,
says Architect-Arthur E. Allen.
“Colonial, American - looking
homes which are true to our heri
tages and traditions can be and are
being constructed without sacrific
ing the spaciousness and light which
constitute a chief virtue of modern
istic architecture,” says Allen, who
has been the architect for more
than 18,000 homes throughout the
nation in the last 11 years. “The
newer homes of Georgian design
have picked up the outstanding good
points of the modern trend, notably
the large window areas. They are
made bright and cheery inside, in
contrast to the colonial houses of
our forefathers, through use of plen
tiful windows, modern interior plan
ning, generous use of wall mirrors
and smart selection of furnishings.”
Architects and home-buyers are
shunning extreme modern styles to
such an extent, Allen said, that
modernistic styles are actually
barred in some planned suburban
communities.
Capital Museum Houses
$130,000,000 Exhibits
WASHINGTON. Collections of
the National museum are now val
ued at more than $130,000,000, Alex
ander Wetmore, assistant secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution, re
cently told a house committee. The
museum, administered by the
Smithsonian Institution, houses na
tional collections of natural history,
anthropology, biology, geology, arts
and industries and American his
tory. The catalogue entries now
total more than 16,000,000 individual
items and last year brought more
than 300,000 additions.
The Smithsonian institution is one
as the capital’s most popular tourist
objectives. The attendance last
year was 2,412,195, the largest in
the institution’s history.
Science to Gauge Effect
Of Sunshine on Nordics
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA.—
Has sunshine a degenerating influ
ence on Nordic stocks?
That is the question that scientists
expect to be in a position to answer
when they have completed an in
vestigation in the Union of South
Africa.
Insufficient radiation is known to
retard development of skeletal
structure, teeth and other tissues,
but some scientists believe’ an ex
cess is almost equally detrimental.
Recently experiments indicate pro
gressive deterioration.
Observation stations will be estab
lished at - Stellenbosch, Johannes

THERE’S no Other refrigerator like Servel Electrolux,
the Gas Refrigerator. Operates without motor,
without moving parts. A tiny gas flame produces con*
stant cold —no fluctuating temperatures —keeps foods
longer, reducing waste and spoilage.
A Gas refrigerator is silent. Because there are no parts
to wear out, trouble-free life of the unit is increased.
Operating costs for Gas refrigerating are surprisingly
low—as little as 70c a month.
And now, all the advantages
of the Gas refrigerator can
be yours at a price low er than
ever before. For as little as
$ 1 14.30, you can have a
Servel Electrolux in your
kitchen! Buy a Servel Elec
