RY WILKINS IN FLIGHT FROM.
PT. BARROW OVER POLAR SEA
SPITZBERGEN, April 23.—Wil
kins and Eielson started from Barrow
Sunday morning; April 15, The
starting place had to be altered', as
the runway proved to be too-short for
the heavily laden machine.. The new
runway was covered with loose snow,
and was tramped down to a. width of
five feet. Expert steering was neces
sary to avoid a crash on the narrow
Tunway..
Wilkins passed {daces where Peary
had sighted' land from Grant- Land,
They passed 30ft miles east of the
North Pole. The weather was fine
-ind there was little fog throughout
the trip. They, maintained an average
altitude ofT^JOO feet,, but at times as
cended to ),500 feet to get above the
deads. The explorers si hted no>
land that had not been previously
discovered.
Whan Wilkins attempted to leave
Dead Man’s Island’ the plane refused
tsb move, although the propeller- was
traveling at full speed. Two efforts
were made, and before the third at
tempt Wilkins -got - out of the cockpit
and holding' onto a rope attached, to
the plane pushed the machine in order
tt« frive it the necessary impetus to go.
The plane took off, but it seemed a.
long time to Eielson before he heard
Witkins’ voice ' yelling', “On board
again” It had been arranged that if
Witkins were unable to clamber into'
the* machine Eielson would proceed:
xnd obtain assistance. Wilkins had.
provided himself wit ha tent and food
in case of such an emergency, ■
NEW YOBK.—The greatest scien
i tifie contribution of Wilkins.’ flighty in
the-' opinion of Dr. Isaac Bowman, 4i-j
rector of the American Geographical
Society, is that he found; ho land.'. j
Burt McConnell, a close.friend 1 oi.'
• <* Wilkins, said the explorer hhd; spent.
his last cent on the flight. - “Wilkins,
has-done bigger'things-thha. people!
resize,” McConnell saidtl “His flight
was more difficult from am aviation,
standpoint than any other flight, ever
made by anybody. He .-was a. person
everyone- was attracted., to ’ Hut who
didn’t tie. up. with!: anybody. He
bought the maehihecwrth his own sav
ings and - prepared* the expedition
without aid and .went, forth and won
as surely aa areal man could.do.’’
LOS ANGELES.—The Los Angeles
Examiner has. a..copyrighted story by
J. &. Northrop,.designer of Wilkins’]
platie saying that the explorer will be-j
in Los Anggles in four or five weeks
to hi ake hi* plans to fly. over, unchart
ed 'Antarctic wastes.
“Wilkins want to learn if there is
an:unbroken continental chain at the
South Pole,” Northrop said in the
article. “He told me that he was
pager, to find if there is land in the'
* regions that so far have defied, ex.
nlorers.”"

“HURRYUP” JONES REPORTED
KILLED IN CASCADE TUNNEL
^ That C. G. “Hurryup" Jones, who
.lived in Alaska during the construe
‘ tion days of the Alaska Railroad, met
death by asphyxiation at the western!
end of the big Cascade tunnel, is the|
news received from the States by the j
Anchorage Times. An Outside paper i
dated January 7, told the story of the!
death,, saying Lhat Jones and two!
other men entered the tunnel too soon1
after, a blast and that gas fumes were
fatal to Jones and one of the other
men.. The third man had a narrow
escape.
However, Anchorage friends of the
railroad man are not inclined to be-j
lieve he is dead. They think that had
he been killed mutual friends would
have written at once to tell of the
accident.. Says the Times:
“The truth of the statement is
questioned by close friends of Mr.
Jones,, who express the belief that di
rect word of the occurrence would
have been received in Anchorage had
such a tragedy occurred. Letters'
written by close friends of Mr. Jones
in Seattle have been received in An
chorage during the last month and no
mention was made of the passing of
the former Alaska railroad man.”
Following is the story of the acci
dent as told by the Outside paper:
“Death still stalks in America’s
longest tunnel, the Cascade bore of
the Great Northern Railroad being j
put through eight milets of mountain
by A. Guthrie & Co. from Berne to !

gresses the ghastly spectre becomes

was C. “Hurry Up" Jones, superin-j

said it would cost too much time and I

ings. The other was A. Trimbiey, a]
pipe man, who had said he didn't see.
how a man could get careless enough
to be killed in the Cascade tunnel; in
other words, he seemed to think it
was fool-proof. A third man, Charles
Stromberg, walker boss, is in a hos
pital and expected to die. The two -
men went into the tunnel after a. shot
was fired; the undersized fans had
not been able to carry off the gas and
force it up the ventilator, shaft.. Om

1 RHEUMATISM, ANCIENT ENEMY
OF MAN’S HEALTH, COMFORT
WASHINGTON.—Rheumatism, an
cient enemy of man’s health and com
fort, plays no favorites.
It attacks the joints and muscles of
the old and the young, the hod car
rier and the banker, the college pres
ident and the tight rope walker.
But, despite general knowledge of
the disease, there exists a great deal
of misinformation about it and much
still remains to be learned by the
medical profession regarding its
causes and treatment.
To the average man, rheumatism
means an aching or stiffness of the
joints or muscles. While there is
little doubt that rheumatic fever is
an acute, infectious disease caused by
a germ or germs, scientific knowledge
of these germs is incomplete.
in recent years medical science
has gathered considerable evidence
that the accumulation of pus from
diseased teeth and tonsils, constantly
adding to the blood small yuantities.
of poison, produce symptoms general
ly designated as rheumatism. With
the location and removal of the focal
infection, the so-called rheumatism
often disappears with startling ra
pidity.
When a physician has discovered
the existence of a focal infection, the
spot of infection should be removed,
unless by its extraction considerable
risk of life is incurred. The removal
of a pus pocket frequently relieves
the distressing symptoms in a rheu
matic joint. Conservative physicians
and dentists, however, do not advise
the extraction of teeth which show
only a slight infection upon X-ray ex
amination, provided the teeth are
otherwise sound.
Rheumatism often follows a cold,
tonsilitis or some other acute respira
torp condition. Prolonged exposure
to wet or cold weather may be a con
tributing factor. As a preventive
measure, a well-balanced diet is most
important. People should guard par
ticularly against overeating or eating
too much of any one kind of food.
Milk is always an accepted article of
diet in cases of rheumatism. Lemon
ade and mineral water may be used
freely. Persons sucering with rheu
matism should have a careful physical
examination to determine, if possible,
the cause.
There are authorities who maintain,
that heart involvement is as much a>
part of rheumatis mas a swollen’
joint, so a person cannot afford to
take chances with the disease
