SOME-f SOME-f WHERE IN ANTARCTICA, Feb. 8 (via Mackay Radio): Good bye, good old Jacob Ruspert Our rand old steel flagship, oarer la- ended for pounding through nun- reda ot miles of ice cakes as big as e Brooklyn Bridge and bergs as lg as half of Boston, Is leaving us far a whole year. J bate to see ber go. I bet I'll yell like a fool when she heaves Into sight again next December or January. She has been a grand old friend to ua, noisy, 'smelly, uncomfortable, but we've felt safe on her, that la, compara tively safe. At least sne sever showed any tendency ten-dency t o crack open and spill us an into the sea, the way this whole landscape around here Is doing. Commodore C.pt Robert A. pJertsen and Cap- , J. Enoll.h of l",u "ser uio the Bear magnificent Job bringing us through those hundreds of miles of roaring, tumbling, threatening Ice. Many times a false move would lave sent us to the bottom of the worm j coldest ocean. But those wonderful men don't make false eaoves. The Jake's going back to Ounedtn. I think, or Port Chalmers, Kew Zealand, to be laid up for a ear. And we're staying oa the Ice. I wonder! What will she And when She returns? Well, well be In com munication by radio with her and the rest of the world all the time and we can tell GJertsen our trea ties even If he cant get to ua. The Ruppert Is empty of supplies H50 tons. I feel that I personally must have carried it all onto the Ice M lifted It onto the tractor and log sledges and airplanes and snowmobiles. I'm that weary. Now 2e wonderful old Bear of Oakland -and she Is old 64 years U with Is pouring more stuff out on the ie and getting 250 tons of that orrowed coal from the Ruppert beyve both got to get out of here ulckly before this whole place freesea up and squeezes them to death. Wouldn't, we be la a pickle then? I am now watching absolutely the world's most peculiar sight Three cows and a bahjr bull on their way over the tee to Little America. fceberg and his mother. Klondike, jre riding In style In a crate on a E ledge behind a tractor where I elped to fasten them. Foremost Southern Girl and Deertoot are walking over the bumpy Ice so furled In blankets they look like moving rug-piles. One thing, we can tin laugh. In fact, we're laughing moat of the time. In spite of our worries, work and troubles. And now, I've got the Job I came ion this trip to All fuel engineer In charge of all gasoline and oil (tor the Condor, nigiim and Fokker aorpianei and a Kellett autogyro. ae two Citroen and one Cletrac tractors, the two Ford snowmobUa with caterpillar treads and sails the Matthews motor boat cruise! and last, but not least, the big Kob ler generating set for our electrM light supply. It is a twenty-foul heur Job satisfying the appetites o all these unit. One plane uses on kind of gas, another another and so on, even to the motorboat and the generator. Now that we havd actually and permanently landed! the real Job has begun. But I'm 14 good shape for work. You knowj all of us softies were given special training when we started this jour ney back at Norfolk. All of us, sclj entlata and everybody, were set to work In the engine room and boldi tor a month, to harden us upj Otherwise we'd collapse In an hour with the work we're doing now. All day long and that means 21 hours Jong radio messages arrive from the various caches we've es) tabllshed all over the place so If the ice goes out it may not take everything with It. They tell us td send ten gallons of.Tydol gas fo the tractors to Number One cache, send fifteen gallons to Pressure Camp for the snowmobiles, send 29 gallons of Veedol oil . to LHtlel America for the Condor, 20 gallons; to Number Two cache for the Fok4 ker. Then there are calls for kero sene for the stoves. It's like a com blnatlon of Fifth Avenue and Roosevelt Roo-sevelt Field here, with the automo tlve activity. The amount of gasoline gaso-line and oil used la tremendous. In one 24-hour period the planes, trac-i tors and other motor equipment! drew 751 gallons ot gas and 60 gallons gal-lons of oil And I have to keep! track of It all, seeing that it all gets', safely to our permanent home at Little America and meanwhile making sure that as they draw It each machine gets the proper fuel' and lubricants. Here we hare vivid Illustration' of the old and new methods of ex-l ploratlve transportation. It takes a dog team three hours to go between the ship and Little America, de-touring de-touring about four miles around the dangerous pressure ridges and crevasses. cre-vasses. Any ot the planes makes the same trip tn three minutes with a greater load. It is Interesting and thrilling, this unloading business, with planes roaring overhead, tractors trac-tors milling over the Ice, snowmobiles snowmo-biles whtulng along throwing up big chunks of snow and the dog teams straggling along the side ot the trail. There will be no rest until all the suDDlles are safelv at Little' America. Foodstuffs, gasoline and oil take priority over everything else.: We are working strictly oa our own code 20 hours a day I Lota ot fun! . The maps and membership cards are still pouring out through the matt. And membership applications are still pouring In. If you and your friends. without cost, would like to join the club and get the tree maps, simply send us a stamped, self -addressed envelope to Arthur Abele, Jr.. President. Little America Aviation Avia-tion and Exploration Club, Hotel Lexington, 4Sth Street and Lexlag-toa Lexlag-toa Aveaue, New York. N. Y. 1 ITTLE AMERICA, A NT ARC-, ARC-, TICA. Feb. 12 (via Mackay Radio) Believe it or not, we are still hauling supplies from the scattered scat-tered caches on the ice Into Little America and, according to my boss. Commander Novllle, we shall be at It for a total of three weeks or more. 1 am actually living In a little lit-tle tent out by Pressure Camp and I'm looking forward to getting Into one of those warm snow-burled wooden huts in Little America that Isn't In danger of being blown away by the wind. Speaking of wind, we're got plenty plen-ty of It and they tell me this is only a beginner, we are reaching tbe end of our summer sum-mer season down here and the boys tell me It la nice and balmy. 1 wouldn't know that The thermometer ther-mometer says fif teen degrees below be-low zero and a W. 8. McCormack biting wind sends our autogyro the cold right pilot through our veins. There are 51 of us working on the Ice and already we are watching each other's faces for signs of frost bite. It we see a small white dot appear on another fellow's nose we run up to him and help him to rub it with snow to restore the circula tion. Frostbite is no fun under our circumstances and Dr. Shirey has Ibeen busy fighting It with as. but now he Is gone. Illness forced him to Quit the Expedition and he la on his way back to New Zealand on the Jacob Ruppert. Well miss him. We understand the research ship, Discovery H. Is bringing us another doctor who will be transferred to the Bear at Oakland and brought here to spend the next year or so with us on the Ice. Then the Bear will have to run out of here to New Zealand before the Ross Sea freezes again, so well be left all alone for twelve months. 1 wonder about lot of things! In addition to my Job of segre gating the many types of fuel and oil tor the various airplanes, true tors and snowmobiles, as they re quire It. I am now helping in the distribution of parts tor all these machines. Gosh, I dldnt know there was so much work In the world! The only water we have la heated snow, so even the sketchy washing of hands and face and sharing are priceless luxuries. Bathing Is out of the question. Later, when we get Indoors we'll clean ourselves wiia cold cream. 1 never realized what wonderful song that was, "Gea, How I Hate To Get Cp In ine Morning." It is a miserable feeling crawling out of a warm sleeping bag into a temperature or tea De-low De-low zero and finding your boots frozen solid so you have to beat them against tbe tent pole to soften them up before you can put them on and thus get your feet In out of the weather. No yawning or stretcn-, ing. Once awake and out of your nest and you have to move fast. Al Carbonne, the, cook, is hav ing a picnic trying to feed us properly. Working under tremen dous difficulties, with only a single three-burner gasoline stove to prepare pre-pare five meals every 24 hours for 51 men, he Is performing miracles. But we must eat fast The food turns stone cold In two or three minutes and freezes solid In ten. Out on the trail we have thermos bottles ot hot cocoa. You can bet I am very careful to keep that stove supplied with the proper gasoline. We are working day and night at top speed to get our supplies to Little America before the bay ice and barrier Ice feet break off. There is a considerable crisis of this kind now at Pressure Ridge but, with luck, well beat it , I'm delighted at the radio news that these disconnected, hurried little yarns of mine are proving Interesting In-teresting and are running In hundreds hun-dreds of newspapers and that my club Is growing so fast. They tell me that high school teachers In his tory, science and geography are enrolling en-rolling their entire classes and studying the stories with the working work-ing maps every week. That's swell! The more tbe merrier. We welcome as members, without any cost what ever, all people interested In avia tion, adventure and exploration who send In a self-addressed stamped envelope to C. A. Abele, Jr., president. presi-dent. Little America Aviation and Exploration Club. Hotel Lexington, 48th Street and Lexington Avenue, New York. N.

Uastrth Ancicat Capital Turkish arcbeologists have unearthed un-earthed at Malatla the ruins of a Hittlte palace which lead them to believe that this city was once the capital of the ancient empire. o Son Nw Matt Be Bad "If yon never gits anything but good news," said Uncle, ESen, "tt"s a sign dat somebody 1n your acquaintance ac-quaintance alnt telHn' de truth." "Time has come when those who produce poultry and eggs must know more about their business," declares Carl Frischknecht, extension poul-tryman poul-tryman of the Utah State Agricultural Agricul-tural college. "Successful poultry production depends de-pends upon the proper combination of a number ot factors and If the facts that affect the success of the business are not properly recorded from day to day; carefully summa rized and accurately analyzed from time to time, it is practically impossible im-possible to eliminate guess work and to discover and correct the weak places in the business." During the past two years the Extension Service In cooperation with the Experiment Station of the Utah State Agricultural college has been conducting a record-keeping project among the poultrymen of the state. A study of the following fig' ures, compiled by Professor Frisch' knecht, shows the egg-production by months: EOO PRODUCTION BY MONTHS IN UTAH IN 1932 AND 1933. Data taken from Utah Poultry Record Keeping Project October 1932, 8.1; 1933, 7.8. November 1932, 9.0; 1933. 8.4. December, 1932, 8.8; 1933, 9.2. January. 1932. 12.0; 1933. 11.1. February. 1933, 13.4; 1933. 12.0. March. 1932. 16.7; 1933. 17.0. April, 1932, 17.2; 1933. 16.7. May. 1932 17.5; 1933, 17.4. - June. 1932, 16.2; 1933, 16.1. July. 1932. 15.1; 1933. 14.7. August, 1932. 13.1; 1933, 12.5. September. 1932. 10.2; 1933. 10.0. The records show that the average egg production hi 1932 waa 152.1 eggs per bird compared with 147.9 eggs per bird in 1933. While this produc tion is higher than that reported by some of the states it is lower than that reported by others that are also In the commercial poultry producing business. In a number of flocks where good stock is secured, where the birds are comfortably housed and fed and cared for properly, the egg production has averaged as high as 222 eggs per bird; while In other flocks where these and other details are neglected, the production has been be'.ow 100 eggs per bird. Professor Profes-sor Frischknecht points out In Individual cases, where the eggs were not gathered frequently and and as low as 28.5 per eent In November. No-vember. r, -, Another itenf of Importance ob served In this utudy is the mortality which occurred in the flocks. The records kept Indicate that the poul trymen of the state have succeeded in holding their mortality reason ably low during' the brooding period, but that the mortality in the laving pens is too high. In 1932 and 1933 the loss during the first six weeks in brooding was 8.4 and 7.3 per cent. respectively, but the loss In each of the years in the! laying pens was be tween 20 a&d 25 per cent. This con dition is a real handicap to the poul try Industry, nofc only In Utah but in most of the boultry and egg-producing states. ; V "Obviously the time . has come when more attention must be given to better sanitation and to other problems of disease control," Professor Pro-fessor Frischknecht concludes. . o Japan's Babies Every year makes it Increasingly plain that the basic problem in Japan Ja-pan is not militarism, or Industrial- Ism, or Westernization, but babies. More than two million babies were born to the sixty-six million Japan ese last year, giving the nation a net increase ot more than a million It Is the necessity of finding food and work for its growing population which drives Japanese leaders along their present path of conquest Back In 1871, when the first of the modern census .reports were made, tne population of the islands was thirty-three million. It has been around thirty million at least since 1721. But with the coming of Western West-ern ideas and Occidental ways, opportunities op-portunities to live in Japan grew wider, and the population swelled to meet it Now a new saturation point has been reached, and social customs are beginning to change to conform. The population which doubled within sixty years will in another decade or two reach a new level of stability at around eighty or ninety million, ex perts say. But In the meantime the struggle for survival grows keener every year, and the pressure to develop de-velop trade abroad in Manchuria, in HEAVY iOtt IE4THII C0UT(H TfAiHti (outrun xun 're SUPER-SERVICE HQeG at Super Savings!

The Lehi Sun, Lehi, Utah. Gentlemen: We desire to express to you our thanks for the copies of the Sun which have been sent to us on our long visit in Los Angeles. To keep in touch with the happenings at home during our absence Is indeed appreciated, and we sure welcome the Lehi Sun. Last week, in company with our son, John, we took & trip to the Mesa, Arizona, temple. This beautiful beau-tiful temple is situated in the heart of the Salt River Valley, one of the leading agricultural sections in the West. While in Arizona we visited the Indian Reservation at Lehi and met a number of the Indians which are part of the congregation of 355 Lamanites who have joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They have their own chapel and are presided over by a white man. Between the cities of Mesa and Lehi, Arizona, is a long section of a large canal, presumably built by the Jaredites. In that vicinity we also visited the ruins of cities built by these or other ancient people. Considerable broken pottery, concrete, con-crete, conclave grinding rocks, and ether evidences of the occupations of an intelligent race of people were found within the crumbled walls of these old cities. Very little excava-ing excava-ing has been done tn these ruins and when our people do investigate the masses thev find other evidence to support the genuineness of the boo 01 Mormon. vmnHwxt mile trip A Los Angeles to Mesa is easy to as the highway is P 3 easy driving time of only hours, through beautiful ni canyons and desert.
