"Lets Fly"—Goll
Nunueitser, phlegmatic as he al-
ways was at the front during the
war, played billiards during the
evening, coming to Lj Bourget af-
ter midnight and slowly dressing in
his electrically-heated leather fly
ing togs. Coll, one eye lost in war
service, was the navigator and
weather expert of the expedition.
"Things look bad over the ocean,
hut It's better than it has been for
some days and there arc signs that
uorse weather is coming next
week.” the Meteorological Service
expert told the fliers.
■'You hear him; he says it will
get worse next week," Nungesser
asked of Coli. "What shall we
do."
“We came out here to fly, let's
fly." Coll answered
A wave of a hand to the scant
crowd of a hundred people gathered
at. Le Bourget and the first tragic
transatlantic exneditlon was off
Within a year the Atlantic was to
claim many other gallant air crews.

Foot Friend Shoes were created "to satisfy the
demand of the modern woman for that “light on
your feet” atmosphere. They also conform to your
ideas of beauty—and to those we have added a sci-

normal feet and to relieve painful feet.
Foot Friend Shoes are the answer to the ques-
tion, “Do you feel as young as you look?”
