. . THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1929 PAGE Flvs BYRDS ANTARCTIC BASE IS ON LIP OF LARGE GLACIER Bay of Whales Nevertheless One of Safest Sites Antarctic New York, N.Y., February 13. --The Bay of Whales, where the Byrd Antarctic expedition is build- ing its base, aciually is on the lip .of a glacier 300 miles or more wide. Seemingly one of the most pre- carious spots for an explorer's headquarters, it neverthelss is one. of the safest sites in the whole ntarctic. The story of this prt. 4 in the ceniury that men have known it, is itself an epic. jt is by thousands of times the largest glacdler known," says Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy of the American Museum of Natural History, himself an Antarctic vet- eran. "The ice comes down from high land to the south, from the direction of the pole, and spreads out over the basin believed to be a shallow portion of the Ross Sea. The glacier forms a great ice gulf, projecting 400 miles out over the supposed waier, and filling the basin of Ross Sea from shore to shore to a width of more than 300 miles. 3 "Finally it breaks off into the water, and there, at the breaking line, Byrd has his base, but be- cause this glacier is so different from others the tiny scientific city on the edge qf the ice seems safe. "One peculiar feature is that at the bay the shore line has remain- ed fixed, In this region the fice breaks off along about the same ' contour year after year. The rea- son is not yet fully finderstood, . but may be due to the configura- tion of the sea bottom. This bay is comparatively close to the east ern shore of Rosg Sea. "The data on' the bergs cast adrift from the 800 or more mile sea front of this glacier reveal an~ other of the peculiarities which make it different from othér gla- clers. The breaking off of the/ice is rhythmic, that is, it proceeds in waves, covering long periods of time, whereby in some years the volume of bergs is much greater than at the other end of the.cycle. The glacier moves forward at a little less than 500 feet anmually. "Some of the bergs are describ- ed as whoppers. So vast are the masses of ice dropped into the Antarctic oceans that their melt- ing exerts a profound effect upon weather, .even influencing rainfall of parts of the tropics, as evi- X Nervous Woman, 58, Gets Big Surprise "After a year of pervous trouble life is worth living again, At my age, 58, results from Vinol are surprising!

San Francisco, New York, Talk With Antarctic Plane ew York, N.Y., February 13.-- New 'York as one corper of the base of a world-sized triang.e and San Francisco as the other, com- municated by radio wish an air- plane in flight in the Antarctic. The feat is considered a record for two-way telegraph communi- cation between plane and ground. The distance is approximately 9,- 000 miles. The piane, the Stars and Stripes, of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, was flying over the Bay of Whales, Antarctica, with Lieut. Malcolm P, Hansen, chief radio operator otf the exp.oring party, at the key of the 50-watt transmit.er, Signals pounded into both listening points with a bang. The machine was circling about 3,000 feet over the bay during the tesis. . The listeners in the United States were men who live and breathe radio. The time was early in the morning, when reception and transmission are at their peak.' In New York two opera.ors, R. J. Iverson, and B. J. Murphy, as the sender, kept contact with the plape aimost as long as it was in the air and were the first to hear it. They are members of the New York Times radio siaff and were working under the. direction of Fred 'E. Meinholtz, chief operator. ®In San Francisco the operator was Fred Roebuck, announcer of HUP, owned by the Examiner, who exchanged greetings with Hansen, maintaining contact: 22 minutes. He was taking from a staiuon 12 miles outside the city, ] ntact for more than an hour maintained by the New York operators, who stated that they heard the plane as soon as it was in the air, They received the first message ever transmitted over such a great distance from an air- plane.' The wave length used was 34 meters, and when the plane shift- ed to another channel it was lost until it got back to 34. NORTH CAROLINA TOLD GOATS WOULD ** ERADICATE PESTS Kingston, N.C, Feb, 10D. Eu- gene Wood, a Kingston sportsman, would have the General Assembly of North Carolina. spend $10,000 to buy 10,000 goats and turn them loose in the eastern and western part of the state in the hope that the number would _ increase to 100,000 in ten Mr. Wood believes: that the goats would ; id the state of weeds and under- growth and thus beautify woods and natural parks. Eradicate snakes and other pests by eating up weeds and other things that snakes lurk in, Give the mosquito population a wallop by eating weeds in marshes and allowing the sun to dry up the water puddles, . And another thing they would pro- vide a new supply of game, he says, adding: "If you don't believe it try to catch a tame billy goat when he doesn't want to be caught." { years, After three years' employment the average business girl of New York City earns $33.50 a week for a working week of about (fifty hours, Of this she spends an -aver- age of $7.56 a week for clothing contributes $9.53 to the support of dependents or to church and saves $4.75.

Arms, munitions, implements of war, of "other articles for use in war," would be denied the offend- ing nation. A move to. extend the scope of the resolution was seen in the provision which requested the Chief Executive to negotiate with other signers of the pact, with. a view to having. them adopt a simi- lar policy. Senator 'Capper said in a state- ment that he had prepared the resolution because -of an: insistent public demand and he asserted that when it becomes known that a na- tion violating the pact would not be able to huy.munitions or supplies from the. United States that war would probably be averted. Kan- sas Senator, a mem of the for- eign Relations Comnilttee, said: he did not expect a vote on his resolu- tion at' this session, but that he believed it would stimulate public discussion, which would manifest itself? in favor of the proposal. SURVIVES 80 FOOT FALL FROM STEEPLE Lexington, Ky.,- Feb. 13.-- M. Hart, 47, steeplejack, flag pole and smoke stack painter, returned home from Hazard, much alive after a fall of 80 feet from the fifth floor of the Combs Hotel at the. latter place on which he was . working when brick and mbrtar softened and fell carrying him with them. Hart sustained only a bruised hip and minor cuts on the head and face. He hag had a score of falls in 25 years during which time he had his nose broken eleven times and sustained other injuries. The latest fall was his greatest. Referring to his most recent experience he said:' "l thought this was my last fall," he said, "but I have learned some-: thing from my other falls, and I 'ust doubled 'up my body. While 2scending I turned over two or '"ree times and I lit>on my hip "ht on a pile of brick and debris at. had collected from the fire." After the fall two. undertakers 're sent to the sceme observers lieving that the man was dead.

Year tis of Er inn, » New York, N.Y., Feb. 13. -- The old Viking trail across the North At- lantic, traveled by many an intrepid explorer who sought fame and for- tune in the New World, is to be the scene of ang alr explorers' race this year. While Parker Gramier and Bert Hassell, American fliers of Scandina- vian ancestry, are preparing quietly for a second attempt to cross the Atlantic from Rockford, Ill, to Stockholm, Sweden's air hero--Capt. A. Ahrenberg--is planning a flight to New York from Stockholm. Ahrenberg will use a Junkers G-24 of the same type as he flew into the Arctic wastes last summer when looking for fellow airmen reported lost with the Nobile expedition. His work in connection with the Nobile rescue expedition and his numerous flights throughout Sweden .in the interests of promoting "aviation won a hero's place for him in the hearts of his countrymen. He carried more than 10,000 pas- sengers on short trips, making 2,338 flights, on a five month tour of Sweden in the interest of aviation. He is the chief pilot of the Swedish Aero Transport Company, a commer- cial organization operating regular air lines from Stockholm to the prin- cipal cities of Norway and Sweden. Copenhagen, Berlin, London and Paris, The "Uppland" which Captain Ahrenberg flew with the Nobile res- cue expedition, is a tri-motored Junkers monoplane with three Junk- ers engines of 320 horsepower each. It is built to carry nine or 10 pes- sengers as well as a pilot and mech- anie, and. is equipped with long and short wave radio sets for sendinz both from sea level and in the air. . Captain Ahrenberg plans either to recondition the "Uppland" for the trans-Atlantic flizht or to obtain an- other plane of the same type. The "Uppland" is used in -regn'ar service between Stockholm and Hekingfors, a two and one-half hour fii~ht. He will fly from Stockho'm to Reykjavik, Iceland; Mt. Evans, Greenland, and Port Burwell, Can, to New York City, with possibly .an- other stop on a Quebec lake after leaving Port Burwell. : Hassell and®Cramer are planning to use an amphibian plane, but have not announced the type. They have traced the route for their 1929 flight from Rockford, Ill, across the top of the Great Lakes to Rupert House on James Bay, Canada; then tn Port Burwell, Can, where they will hop to Mt. Evans, Greenland. It was within a short distance of the Mt. Evans base that the fliers were forced to land last summer and later were rescued. From Greenland they will continue to Reykjavik, Iceland, and then to. Stockholm over the same trail chosen by Ahrenberg. CAMEL COMBAT TO RAISE FUNDS FOR Stamboul, Turkey, Feb. 13.--Eight dying out of Turkey beneath the pressure of modern civilization, are to meet in the stadium of Stamboul, there to lay down their lives or at best smash their humps so that more airplanes may sweep through Tur- kish skies over ancient abandoned caravan trails. The Turkish Na- tional Aviation League is to stage the camel combat, the proceeds of which will go to swell the millions of liras already raised in various ways for the purchase of the repub- lie's planes. Camel fighting is a sport as dear to Anatolians as bull fights to the Spaniard, but this will be the first camel combat held in the metropolis within the memory of the oldest in- habitant. To stage a fight between these stately ships of tlie desert, the cue is merely to provide a "woman in the case." Two gentlemen camels aro. led into the ring from which there is one narrow alley of exit. One of these camels is tied and the «| other left free in the ring. Then a female camel is led in and the untied male is allowed to flirt with her while the tied male looks on with growing jealousy and fury. When the latter has reached a fighting pitch of anger, the lady is led off, the jealous male's rope is untied and he straightway makes for his rival. The camel's method of fighting is to try to get his humps beneath his opponent and thus to toss the latter over on his back. They do not al- ways fight to.the death, The camel who feels Ite is getting the worst of it often bolts from the ring down the exit which is left opened for the pur- pose, the one who remains on the field being then proclaimed victor, "TO SEE AR RAGE Air Explorers Will *Cross| ® Manufactu 20 Dozen Little Nell { Sizes 4 and 4 1-2. sale for, pair ..

Feb. 18.. -- Giant strides have been taken by the Portes Gil administration toward pacification of Mexico, but thetask is far from complete. Rebel and ban- dit bands still operate in some of the more mountainous sections of the eountry, notably in the states of Tali and Mich a There has been a reduction in the intensity of guerrilla warfare that has been going on for years, and re- ports of battles with rebels and ban-| dit depredations are ming less frequent. i The orders for abolishment of summary executions have been ob- served carefully, although on some occasions no time has lost in courtmartialling the prisoners and carrying out the death sentence. The famous rebel general Maximiliano Vigueras was captured at about six o'clock one evening near Mexico City, courtmartialed that night and executed at five o'cl the next morning. Natalio Espinosa, a noted chieftain, and ten of his followers suffered a similar fate near the city of Aguascalientes.' Even though the rebel movement bas been diminished greatly and is now almost limited to Michoacan and Jalisco, a so-called "Army of Liberation" committee in Mexico City continues to function and pre- sumes to direct the operations of the various rebel bands. This com- mittee has eluded police and, detec- tives put on its trail and edits perio- dically a leaflet bearing the title "War Bulletin" on which are listed activities in the rebel campaign. The bulletin makes special mention of alleged rebel exploits in wreck- ing trains and executing prisoners. The claim of rebel victories is in di- rect contrast with government re- ports. The leaflet is distributed secretly. SIR CHARLES GORDON JOINS BOARD OF C.P.R.
