-ets an order for 40 of them, right
away quick. The man from behind
the counter is 36-year-old Jack Frye,
resident of the Transcontinental &
Western Air, Inc., for the last six
years.
He has been merging air com
panies the way he ambidex
trously merged raspberry flips—
up through the depression years
to the status of a high-rating
aviation mogul. His new plane,
the largest commercial land
plane ever projected, will have a
hying range of 4,000 miles and a
ceiling of 30,000 feet. He says his
fleet of 40 of these planes could
hustle 16,000 troops into Alaska
in 36 hours.
Born in Sweetwater, Okla., Mr.
Frye grew up and did his soda
jerking in California. He nicked
each pay check for something for
the kitty, to buy into aviation. His
first investment was in a series of
fiying lessons. He and his instruc
tor then bought a battered old war
veteran Curtiss Jenny and made it
the nucleus of a flying school and
in aerial taxi service.
Standard Air Lines came later
when two students, Paul E.
Richter and Walter A. Hamilton
joined young Mr. Frye in estab
lishing it, operating between Los
Angeles and Phoenix, Ariz. As
one thing led to another, as they
bought and merged companies,
his associates moved along with
him and became executives of
the T.W.A. Mr. Richter shared
his last notable acquisition of
aviation stock, when, in April,
1929, T.W.A. took over about 70,-
iO shares of the Lehman Bros,
holdings in T.W.A. at two points
above the market.
Mr. Frye has kept right on flying
is well as designing and financing
airplanes, and in 1934 set up a rec
ird in crossing from Los Angeles
0 Newark in 11 hours and 31 min
ites. Thirty-six years is young for
1 mogul. Last January, he married
ielen Varner Vanderbilt.

responsibility
The flags of all the Americas dec
orated one end of the East Room of
the White House and were draped
over the room’s main door. It gave
me a curious feeling to sit there
and watch the President at his desk,
faced by all the microphones.
I felt as though all the newspaper
photographers in the world were
grinding and clicking in front of
him. The atmosphere in the room
was one of suppressed and intense
excitement. Diplomats are trained
to observe the amenities, no matter
what they feel, but everybody’s face
showed some emotion as the evening
progressed.
I felt strangely detached, as
though I were outside, a part of the
general public. I represented no
nation, I carried no responsibility,
except the responsibility of being a
citizen of the United States of Amer
ica. Then I looked at the President,
facing representatives of all the
Central and South American coun
tries, Mexico and Canada. Like an
incoming wave, the thought rolled
over me:
“What a weight of responsibility
this one man at the desk facing the
rest of the people, has to carry. Not
just for this hemisphere alone, but
for the world as a whole! Great
Britain can be gallant beyond belief,
China can suffer and defend herself
in equally heroic fashion, but in the
end, the decisive factor in this whole
business may perhaps be the solidar
ity of the hemisphere and, of neces
sity, the President of the United
States must give that solidarity its
leadership!”
If we all preserve our freedom, it
must be accomplished because we
believe in each other, because we
want to go forward with the demo
cratic processes, no matter how far
short we may be today of perfec
tion. We can only do this if we
trip to Washington, D. C.
Then the President began to
speak. For three-quarters of an
hour he told us what conditions ex
isted, what obligations lay before us
and, finally, what his present step
to meet those obligations was to be.
More must follow, and day by day
each one of us is going to realize
that his life is changing, that he
has an obligation to perform.
In my capacity of objective citi
zen, sitting in the gathering, I felt
that I wanted to accept my respon
sibility and do my particular job,
whatever it might be, to the extent
of my ability. I think that will be
the answer of every individual cit
izen of the United States, for when
all is said and done, it is our freedom
to progress that makes us all want
to live and to go on.

NUTRITION CONFERENCE
The closing session of the National
Nutrition Conference for Defense
was most interesting to me. I heard
Dr. Thomas Parran, of the United
States public health service, speak,
and Mr. M. L. Wilson, director of
extension work in the department of
agriculture, present the recommen
dations which came as a result of
the various group meetings and
from the conference as a whole.
This seems to me to have been
a very valuable meeting. It brought
together not only the people, like
the home economic experts who have
studied nutrition for years, but the
educators, doctors, parent-teacher
groups, business and professional
women etcetera. All possible groups
must be interested if a program of
education is really to be carried on
throughout the country.
1 returned to the White House to
see a number of people at tea, and
to shake hands with the little Girl
Scout, Beatrice Vlach, and another
very charming young girl, Dorothea
Bock, both of them winners in con
tests which provided as a prize a
trip to Washingtonton, D. C.
In the evening, I went to my local
Newspaper guild meeting. Then I
found a basket of mail awaiting me,
but even with this to do, I did not
have to sit up very late. It is be
coming easier to get through the
work, though I must say the days
seem’ to be filled. I don’t believe
that the time will ever come in
Washington when we can sit down
and say: “There is nothing left
which we ought to do."
We arrived in Hyde Park the next
night just 15 minutes after my hus
band reached home, which shows
that there are some advantages to
flying, for I left Washington three
hours later than he did! He insists,
however, that he accomplished a
great deal more work on the way,
and I haven’t a doubt that is true.
Miss Thompson and I motored up
from LaGuardia field, and it was
quite evident that a holiday crowd
was wending its way up the Park
way. We passed one accident, but
no one seemed to be seriously hurt.
♦ ♦ ♦
GASLESS SUNDAYS
I see that Secretary Ickes is sug
gesting that we have gasless Sun
days and universal daylight saving,
thereby saving power. The gasless
Sundays and less rapid driving
might not only save gas and rub
ber but a considerable number of
human lives. The power, however,
if it means fewer lights, will be hard
on me, because I have acquired the
bad habit of working late at night.
When I don’t do that, the tempta
tion to read is hard to resist.

place his salad
hJ right on the plate
with the rest of
( mea *- He
CiJ \ likes a cole slaw
stuffed tomato.
Buttered carrots
and peas are the
vegetables. Because he is so fond

♦lndividual Lamb Pies.
2 lbs. shoulder of lamb
2 small onions
3 tablespoons flour
IVi teaspoons salt
2Vz cups milk
Butter Pastry
Trim the lamb, cut in small cubes
and brown in a hot frying pan. Add
the chopped onion and cook until
light brown, stirring constantly. Add
the flour and salt and mix well. Stir
in the milk gradually. Cover and
cook over low heat for about 45 min
utes or until the lamb is tender. Roll

cape through. Brush each pie with
milk or cream. Bake in a 425-de
gree F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes or
until the crust is evenly browned.
Lift gently from the pan and serve.
LYNN SAYS:
Dad’s day might be the one
day when Dad would really like
to try his hand in the kitchen.
How about some feathery light
biscuits to go with dinner?
They’re an easy trick if you just
put out the ingredients for Dad,
along with one of those big bowls
and a spoon. Now sift 2 cups of
flour, 2 teaspoons of baking pow
der, and x k teaspoon of salt. Cut
in 4 tablespoons of shortening,
and then add about % of a cup of
milk gradually. Stir until a soft
dough is formed, not too long,
though, or the biscuits will be
tough. Turn the dough on a
slightly floured board, pat to a
%-inch thickness, and cut with a
floured biscuit cutter. Pop them
into a hot oven (450 degrees) on
an ungreased baking sheet for 10-
15 minutes. Dad will probably
like the large biscuits, so better
give him the large cutter. The
recipe will make about 12 bis
cuits of that size, or 16 of the
smaller ones. Can’t you just see
him beaming over a plate of hot,
flaky biscuits he made all by
himself?

THE first motion picture
scene to be directed by long
distance phone 3,000 miles from
the spot where it was shot is
credited to Elliott Nugent. He
stood on a Paramount sound
stage in Hollywood and gave in
structions to cameraman Dew
ey Wrigley, whose equipment
was set up on Biscayne boule
vard, Miami Beach, Fla.
Wrigley had shot some atmos
pheric film for "Nothing But the
Truth,” but it wasn’t exactly what
Nugent wanted. He’d never been
in Miami Beach, but he picked the
right site from some still pictures
and then gave instructions over the
telephone.

he is, but sending him the film is
her reply to his recent request for
a new photograph of her.
