The housewife can almost always plan her work so that she can take advantage of these slack hours. The advantages are obvious. There are fewer people in the You don’t have to jostle and ows, wearing out your nerv- stem and exhausting your energy. The salesgirls aren't so busy.

It’s easier on your temper and on the tempers of the salesgirls. People who are employed generally are able to shop only on Saturday afternoons, or at the noon-day lunch hour. If those who can shop at _garlier hours would do so, much of he Christmas shopping jam would be eliminated. Here is another thing to remember in your Christmas shopping. Every delivery the store makes costs money and takes time. | When you buy several large pack-| ages, of course, the delivery system | is a splendid thing to use; but where | your purchase is a small one it saves trouble and expense all around if you | take it with you. | Raises All Prices deliver a kitchen stove. chant has no recourse but to add the | cost of delivery to the price of his | merchandise. So by eliminating un- necessary deliveries a large part of the cost jof maintaining a de! service is. done away with, and are lower. another way to cut down on deliveries: Instead of going shop- ck, sit down in advance and list the things you want to buy. Then get them all at once. Having a detailed list made out in .advance also saves you much trouble when you reach the store, It saves your time and the time of the sales- gist when you have a fairly definite idea of just what you want. One more thing: have an Sdenti- fication card with your name and ad- dress plainly listed. This enables .¢lerks to get your name and address qi ly and accurately, and on a number of purchases saves a good deal of time. Echo-Canyon in Arizona Is Site of Open Theatre Echo Canyon, A!

Tomor- row is the 23rd anniversary of the first successful airplane flight when the Wright’s flimsy ship took off from a bleak -hillside near Kitty Hawk, 8. C., Dec. 17, 1903, and soared over a nearby marsh. Invention Partly Accidental Naturally conservative and caut- ious, Mr. Wright said he did not know when trans-continental airlines would be in existence. “Of course I don't. know when that time will come, if ever, but it does seem like- ly, doesn’t it? There is no reason why we shouldn't travel across the continent by air.

All the caleulations were wrong. Then we became interested in the scienti- fie side, and conducted our own ex- periments on which we based new calculations. It was not so much inspiration and genius as understa ing of the laws of physics that made these experiments successful. Felt It Would Fly “Another question that bothered us was: Would we be able to fly it after we'd built it? Man had never flown in a heavier-than-wir machiae before. In fact, I believe our biggest thrill came from lying in bed and Marie of Moscow thinking about flying. We didn’t know what might happen.” On the other hand, while the sense of achievement as the first plane settled to the ground -after its initial flight was strong, the thrill that day rather less than might have been rtain it would fly,” id. “We figured ¢ My and knew exact We built smal nd tunnel tests now, and we'd have ed if it hadn’t When the two brothers, made that F| first flight in a powered machine, jjony a handful of the friends braved j|the cold and stood on the wind-swent slope to witness the take off. ¢ Development Unlimited Mr. Wright was apparently amused to recall how far short their imagina- tions had fallen in visualizing tne future of the airplane. “We thought it might make a hun- dred miles an hour possibly, and now approaching three hundred nagined it in use for pleas ibly for observation pur ‘The progress has been g: we ever dreamed.” however, he admitted the ities were virtually unlimited. “Who can tell what they can do the airplane in the next few years?
