Do you expect to be able to buy an electric range on terms like these- at as low a . price "with wiring and installation all complete some other time when it may be more convenient to buy?

A brief physlral examination showed the flyers In good shape, exrept for the natural effects of the xhamtlnn they suffered while drifting on the none too ealtn I'acl fir ocean nine days, while scores of ships, submarines, and airplanes hunted for them. t'omliitf from the aviators' rooms nficr they awakened, the navy doc lor were confronted by a squad of newnpapermen.

Commander Kodgers and his men. started In an airplane, and were rescued by a submarine. The speed for the first two hours of their trip was around 100 miles an hour; for tha last 200 miles, less than five miles an hour. Storms and high winds exhaust ed the gasoline supply and left their lives In danger, but after landing the weather waa almost all ,that could be desired. Kood the firBt two days Included aoup, coffee, and chocolate; the last four days nothing but water was available. ! Perhaps the mast grim of the contrasts, however, was the ability of the men on Ihe seaplane to re ceive radio messages without being able t send them which enabled them to hear themselves given up as lost by a council of naval offl-1 cers.

"Their brav ery and nerve pulled them through and I am glud that they are saved for their loved ones and their country." Efforts had been made to com municate with Colonel Mitchell all night, but those answering Ihe telephone at his quarters declaied that he was not In or refused to call him to Ihe telephone, lie was . aroused from his sleep by Ihe As-. aoclated Press and Informed of the rescue. i PB-1 to Maka Flight.
