"A vegetable dinner! I thought you'd be as fed-up as I was on party food. I bought the pressure cooker at noon. Just the thing for us. Cooks meat, vegetables, and everything at the same time and in just a few minutes."

Dick threw a leg over the side of his arm chair, lighted his pipe and went on, "It's going to be nice to have a wife to cook for me. I used to get so tired of hotel and restaurant food that sometimes I've taken an apartment with a kitche nette just so I could do my own cooking,"

The monoplane Lithuania is shown soaring over New York city at the start of an attempted 4908- mile non stop flight to Kaunas, capital of Lithuania. Its two Lithuanian pilots, Capt. Stephen Darius, left and Stanley Gironas, right, of Chicago, were found dead in wreckage of plane in the woods near Soldin, Germany, after successfully crossing the Atlantic and completing 4,000 miles of the flight. Lack

of fuel is believed to have caused the failure.
