believes that American women do not
like to be by themselves and suffer
from homesickness when in a strange
country.

Miles and 25 Cit%s in Re
liability Run Ending July
Twelfth.
WENTY-FOUR of the latest
commercial airplanes in
JL America, including a big
three-motored Ford all-metal trans
port of greater power than any
previously entered in this annual
event, are competing this year in
the National Air Tour for the Edsel
B. Ford reliability trophy and $20,
000 in cash prizes.
The tour started on June 27, from
the Ford Airport at Dearborn,
Mich., and will cover nearly 4,000
miles and twenty-five cities in the
Middle West, the East and the
South. The tour will end at the
starting point oif July 12.
Prominent among those who are
passengers in the competing ships
are: W. J3. Stout, head of the Stout
AU-Metal Airplane Company and de
signer of the Ford-Stout ships; W. B.
Mayo, of tlm Ford Motor Company;
William P^MacCracken, Assistant
Secretary of Commerce for Aero
nautics ; Ray Cooper, Michigan Gov
ernor of the National Aeronautic
Association and manager of the
tour; and Captain Ray Collins,
prominent Detroit banker and offi
cial referee of the tour.
Edsel B. Ford, president of the
Ford Motor Company, was one of
the official starters.
The entries this year represent
distinct advances in design and
performance among the foremost
types of commercial planes in this
country.
A decidedly noticeable clfltage is
to be seen in the big Ford mono
plane which is making the tour.

entry carries one 400-horsepower
motor on the nose, in addition to
two 200-horsepower motors of the
same type as those used last year.
This plane is carrying eight pas
sengers in addition to the pilot and
mechanic, while most of the other
I planes are carrying only two or

BERLIN, July 23 (/P)—1The little
yoU are a brunette, wear “warm” col
ors such as brown, red, orange and
purple.
If you are a blonde, choose the
“cold” shades, including blue, green
and violet.
You may wear white whether you
are a blonde or a brunette, provided
your skin is fair and your fig'ui4 not
too heavy. But remember that both
white and black make the facial fea
tures stand out in relief.
If you are stout, choose smooth ma
terials.
If you are slender, select the wooly
fuzzy stuffs.
These are bits of advice offered the
American woman by Miss Grace C.
Diraelow, clothing expert of Temple
University, Philadelphia.
“ONCE TASTED WATER”
PARIS, July 23. (ZP)—The best wine
taster in Paris is Marcelle Le Cu
dennec, winner in a test of power by
86 wine stewards of restaurants. He
gave the correct age and description
of 12 wines. He received 5,000 francs,
a locing cup and two bottles of an
cient brandy. Le Cudennec is a young
Breton. He says he drank nothing
but cider until he was 16.
FORTIFIED MOUNTAIN IS
KEY TO TOE ADRIATIC
VALLONA, Albania, July 23. (JP)—I
Saseno (or Sazan), the mountain in
the sea that guards the entrance to
the landlocked harbor of Vallona, has
acquired the new name of “The
Italian Sentinal of the Balkans.”
Albanians say the Italians, who ac
quired it from Albania a "few years
ago, have so fortnied it that it not
only protects the harbor, but that its
guns, uniting their fire with those of
Brindisi, can close the Adriat'c to
any sort of navigation. They can
also command the Albanian eaost
as far north as Durazzo.

The high-wave reception range of the Grebe
dial (B)—from 550 down to 240 meters—
equals the practical tuning range of the
usual receiver. The low-wave range of the
Grebe dial (A) provides additional recep
tion down to 150 meters.
You Don’t Need
! ;
i Two Radio Receivers
OVER 100 existing stations,
with worth-while programs,
are beyond the reach of the average
receiver because it cannot tune
below 240 meters.
Thus, to get both high and low
wave stations requires two
receivers— unless you own a Syn
chrophase. Due to its Low-Wave
Extension Circuits—exclusively
Grebe—it will receive all stations
from 550 down to 150 meters. One
dial covers this complete range.
Ask for a demonstration of this
and the other recent Grebe de
velopments ; then compere.
