LIODERN KITCHEN
AIDS HOUSEWIFE
Proper location of the automatic re
frigerator in the kitchen will do a lot
to simplify cooking operations and
lighten the burdens of the housewife.
The refrigerator will usually be most
convenient when placed near the acrr
entry to the kitchen, architects have
found in designing kitchen layouts.
The kitchen cabinet, being both a
storage and a preparation center
should be placed between the range
and the refrigerator, with any extra
space for food storage quite near.
The serving table should adjoin the
rangl near the dining room door
thus providing a continuous and direct
routing from the rear entry, around
one side of the kitchen to the dining
room. . -
As a compact workshop the kitchen
of today should be of a total area
that will accommodate the necessary
equipment and leave just enough room
for the worker to move about easily.
It is generally , considered that the
proportion " of ' about two to three in
diniensins is the most desirable.
With an automatic refrigerator in
the kitchen it is no longer necessary
to provide a special room accessible
from the outside, as in the case when
an ice box is installed. The saving
inthe cost of construction of such a
room is often equal to the cost of
an automatic refrigerator.
Many housekeepers find it desirable
to surround Wie automatic refrigerator
with cupboards and shelves, produc
ing a built-in effect that gives the
appearance oi efficiency and decreas
es the amount of. open floor space.
This is very easy to . do when the
refrigerator is being installed in a new
dwelling. ....... .
Airplanes and Automobiles
Detroit, Mich What effect air
plane development will have on the
automobile has frequently been dis
cussed by those close to both indus
tries as well as by laymen interested
in the transportation methods the
future may evolve.
Is an era of keen competition
ahead? Will the airplane relegate
the automobile to a place beside the
horse and buggy? ' . -
Decidedly no, in the opinion of H.
J. Klingler, general sales manager of
the Chevrolet Motor company. The
two industries will rather follow par
allel lines of development, with each
one aiding the other, the Chevrolet
. sales,, leadcrdeclarcd in an interview
Kotu-onn tVio nirnlnnp and the auto-
V- I VV V- V. in, " - - f - - - I ,
mobile -than - (.here -is between the
newspaper and th-radio, "M r.-Klingler
stated. "When the radio, first began
broadcasting news dispatches, there
was talk of it supplanting the news
paper. Today the newspaper prims
radio news, and the news items broad
cast by the radio rather whet the
appetites of newspaper readers. Each
one serves the other.
"I believe the airplane and the1
automobile will follow similar lines
of development.
"I believe, that for every airplane
that goes in the air at least two auto
mobiles will go on the ground.
"The owner of an airplane . wil'
need an automobile to take him from
his home to the airport. He will
need another car to take him from
the landing field downtown to hi
destination. Meanwhile his wife and
family will need a car at home while
his is parked at the airport awaiting
his return. Every flight will call into
use. at least two or three cars.
"There will be no competition be
tween the airplane and the automobile
because the airplane can serve only
a restricted fild of transportaetion.
It is ssentially a rapid medium of
long distance travel. It docs not have
the flexibility or the all-around util
ity of the automobile.
"The motor. car takes the business
man to work in the morning. It car
ries the professional man, who has
many stops to make, on his route
over town. It takes the wife dOWn
tiwn cTinnnitlC the familv to visit

friends, or on week-end or vacation
this without regard
to distanceor conditions of the weathj
er. .
"There is this further interesting
distinction between the airplane and
the automobile. The motor car in
its evolution was first regarded as a
fad and a luxury. 'It was recognized
as an economic necessity only after
it had gained wide popularity as an
instrument of pleasaure. . .
"The airplane, on the other hand,
has been an instrument of business
from the start. It is serving now
mainly in aerial photography, in
transporting mail, motion pictures
and, other quick freight, and in pro
viding rapid passage between distant
points. Its utility is limited to this
highly restricted, field which in no
sense encroacaheS on the automobile.
"Both the . automobile and the air
plane are propelled by .internal com
bustion engines. Hence any new dis
covery made in one industry will be
available for hte other. Aircraft mo
tor building now is largely based on
lessons learned in the development
of the automobile.
"As mass production served auto
mobiles in bringing them to a-basis
of low first cost and economical
transportation, so I believe it will aid
the airplane, in a limited measure,
in reducing air transportation cost
per mile. But at the same time great
national super-highways will, speed
up automobile travel nearer to that
now attained by airplanes. Each will
be able to serve better in its own
field." i
Aviator Here
Major N. W. Ebingcr, of the Char
lotte Airport stopped here for two
days, Friday and Saturday, visiting
Miss Ethel Daughcrty and Mr. and
Mrs. Jim Porter.
Major Ebingcr is touring the south
and is endeavoring to promote avi
ation in this section. After graduat
ing from Dickinson College, Carlisle,
Penn., he flew with the forest rangers
of Pennsylvania and commercial fly
ing . between Philadelphia and New
York! On March 23rd he flew to
Charlotte where he was stationed with
the new airport which is now under
construction there.
The "Flying Yankee" is also well
known throughout the north as a
sportsman and athlete, having played
on the Frankford Yellow-Jackets, of
Philadelphia, professional football
champions of the United States in
1925-26. His well-known, "The Pray

"THE PRAYER OF A
SPORTSMAN"
(N W. E.)
Dear Lord, in the battle that goes on
thru life . t
I ask but a field that is fair,
A chance that is equal with all in
' the strife, . ',
A courage to strive and to dare:
And if I should win, let it be by the
code .... .. .- .
With my faith and my honor held
high;
And if I should loose, let me stand
by the road,
And cheer as the winners go by.
And Lord, may. my shouts be un-
grudging and clear,
A tribute that comes from the heart,
And let me not cherish a snarl or
a sneer . ( r
Or play any sniveling part;
Let me say "There they ' ride, on
whom laurel's bestowed
' Since they played the game, better
than I" . . u .
Let me stand with a smile, by the
side of the road
And cheer as the winner's go by.
So grant me to conquer, if conquer
I can, ' ' - ... f
By proving my worth in the tray,
But teach me to loose like a regular
man,
And not like a craven, I pray;
Let, me take off my hat to the war
riors who strode
To victory splendid and high,
Yea, teach me-to-stand'-by- the. side

thi production, the second vehicle
starring the popular Paramount star,
will be featured by Miss Brent's per
formance, the first being that of "A
Night of Mystery."
Miss Brent is known as one of
the best dressed actresses on the
screen. Her. ability to wear gowns
of the latest creations to the best
effect, is one, of her outstanding as
sets as far as rising to screen prom-,
inence is concerned. In "His Tiger
Lady" Miss Brent wears a gown with
30,000 beads, the gown being designed
and executed by the Paramount cos
tume department.
The three costumes worn by Miss
Brent in this production are en
hanced by 125,000 brilliantines and
the photographic effects of these

ed remarkable by critics in cities
where the picture has been shown, z-
Miss Brent : portrays the role oy a
lady of wealth who is wooed and
won by an "extra" actor of the Folies
Bergere, this role being portrayed
by Mr. Menjou.' She' is ardently ad
mired by three of the most prom
inent characters in Paris, but when
she asks them to enter a tiger's cage
in order to prove her love, they find
it too difficult to muster the courage.
Menjou, too, is asked to perform his
deed, and the outcome of this epi
sode forms one of the . most enter
taining pictures the Paramount star
has yet done.
