HOW SUPERIOR’S “ORDER” TO FONCK EXPLAINED “Personal Message to War Com- rade,” Says Maj. Weis, Remind- ing Death Awaits All By the Associated Press. PARIS, September Nothing but a personal message to an old war comrade,” is Maj. Wels' explanation of his cable to Capt. Renc Fonck, the French flyer in New York, declaring that his take-off on the transatlantic was “absolutely necessary” even if he had to perish in the ocean. Maj. Wels, in whose squadron Fonck had served in thew ar, greatly egrets the publicity given his mes- sey avenues for a wholesale market, to be occupied by those commission men who do not require track-side warehouses, It was disclosed that plans are now being drawn for a row of more than 50 wholesale provision ho chich will be architecturally attractive and | provide most modern conveniences for this line of business. These plans will be promptly submitted to the city planning group and to the Commission of Fine Arts for their approval. At this conference, which was at- tended by Maj. Cary H. gineer of the City sion, it was agreed that the Govern-, ment intends to provide suitable structures for a farmers’ market and to continue official administration of | such a market. If the Government does not provide an adequate and suit- able farmers’ market, the Mid-cit and civic group announced that it is prepared also to finance the farmers' market as an essential fea- ture of the model market center ap- proved by Sccretary Jardine of the Department of Agriculture This conference was decidedly en- couraging to the city planning group, because they have been greatly per- plexed as to how they could handle the relocation of the wholesale mar- ket, where the individual business men are doing business on pri- vately owned property. At the same time they are desirous that the whole- sale, farmers' and retall mavkets be “It's only a change o' venue, when they make vou feel at home, says Lafe Bud, who's returned from called vacation.

Janesville, Wisconsin. Gentlemen: At 4:10 P.M. yesterdsy I took off in my Yackey piane from Checkerboard Field, with a Parker Over-size Duofold Pen in the cockpit beside me, and instructions to drop it from aa altitude of * 3000 feet. 1 circled the field unil my altimeter told me 1 had reached the prescribed height, thea I picked up the Parker Duofoid and leaniog over the side, Tletit go. 1 hated o do it—it seemed a shame to crash such & big. fine-looking pen. A few minutes later | made a landing near my starting point. The crowd that had been watching this test swarmed toward me over the field. The pen had landed on hard ground and had been picked up, To my grea surprise it had not been damaged in the slightest by its 3000-foot drop. 1 always thought the Parker Duofold was the best pen made, and now I Anow it. d with the Parker STt fosk with a Pen and Pencil that won'’t break! Dropped 3000 £t. ES, the Parker Duofold Pen was tossed from an aeroplane at dizzy altitude to test its new Non-Break- able barrel made of Permanite and landed 3000 feet be- low—unharmed. Tests such as this are the best guarantees against breakage that any maker can give you. So we kept secret a year the fact that all Parker Pens and Pencils have Permanite barrels until by a series of heroic trials we proved beyond a doubt that they do not break. Now Parker Duofold, already voted twice as popular with students as any other pen, will be seen in the class- rooms of America more than ever. Shapely, balanced, lacquer-red barrel with smart black tips made of Non-Breakable Permanite, and a Point guaranteed 25 years for wear and mechanical perfection. That’s a combination that can’t be equalled at any price. - Choose your point and color at any good pen counter. But look with care for the name of the originator, “Geo. S. Parker,” on the barrel. Carry the finest and you'll never need apologize.
