The airship be- gan a rapid plunge, which it was impossible to halt and jin two minutes it crashed upon a polar ice pack.

Two of Nobile's . group are injured. Radio communication between the "Italia's" survivors and the base ship Citta di Milano, was good today. King's Bay, Spitzbergen, June 12.--Faced with the probability that at least a week must elapse before the ice-breakers can reach the stranded survivors of the dir- igible Italia, aviators already in the North are preparing desperate attempts to get food and medicine to the suffering men, Captain Riiser-Larsen and Lieu- tenant Leutzow Holm, Norwegian air aces, are on the sealer Hobby, which is trying tg smash its way thrugh the ice floes off the north coast of the archipelago. North Cape is their immediate objective, as the Norwegian aces believe they can make the round trip from that point to the yicinity of Foyn Island, where the men -of General Umberto Nobile's Arctic expedi- tion are awaiting help. Medicines Are Needed Medicines are needed by the castaways for the two men who were hurt when the gondola of the Italia smashed against an ice floe. Remedies are also wanted for frost-bitten hands and feet, which are keeping the Italia's men from making their way toward land. The Norwegian planes have not sufficient carrying capacity to make actual rescue of the mar- ooned. explorers practicable except in emergency. The aid that the Captain and Lieutenant can bring is therefore of a temporary nature, to enable General Nobile and his men to sur- vive their hardships until ice- breakers or large planes can reach them. The Russian ice-breaker Maligin, sailing from Archangel today, can make the trip to the vicinity of North East Land in about ten days. She must first come to King's Bay to replenish her coal supplies after the voyage from the Russian coast. lStrons Buying Support Pro. vided in All Sections of List -- Standard Indus. trials and Rails Move Up $1 to $2 Per Share--High Priced Specialties Regain Former Prices (By Associated Press) New York, N.Y., June 13.--The stock market which was shaken to its foundations yesterday by one of the most disastrous breaks in its history, rallied briskly today as strong buying support was pro- vided in all sections of the list.

VISITORS MAY FIND INTERESTING STORY IN ONTARIO NAMES Many Ontario place-names are due to His Excellency Colonel John Graves Simcoe, Lieutenant-Gov- ernor of Upper Canada from 1792 to 1796, according to the Geogra- phic Board of Canada. As the first Governor of the new Provinee, it devolved upon him to orgarize it politically, and in 1792 he divided it into nineteen counties, which he called Glengarry, Stormont, Dun- das, Grenville, Leeds, Frontenac, Ontario, Addington, Lennox, Prince Edward, Hastings, Northumberland, Durham, York, Lincoln, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Kent. With the exception of Suffolk; all these names still survive. The counties Northumberland to Kent are named after the shires and coun- ties along the east coast of Eng- land. "Georgina" Was Comsidered Before sailing from England, Simcoe had considered calling the capital of the Upper Province "Georgina' after the reigning sov. ereign, George III, but this name was never actually given. On first surveying the situation ia Upper Canada, Simcoe's intention was to locate the capital where London now stands, but owing to obstacles, chiefly the difficulty of transporta- tion, he later relinquished this plan.

Througs us policy holders of "one grade only --+the best" the industry has now grown to its present proportions. Following the luncheon the party were conducted through the local plants, taking nearly three hours on the trip. They entered at the most southern part of the line, near the office building on William street, and then continued north until a great part of the plant had been visited.

Miss Boll and her crew of three men retired at once to the local hotel, but not before they had learn- ed that the Friendship was still at Trepassey Bay. Miss Boll did not display any par- ticular pleasure in learning that she was now on an even basis with Miss Earhart in the race for trans- Atlantic honors.
