Let's keep it up. With the Boy Scouts .already organized and the Camp Fire ’Girls just crazy to organize if they could find a leader, we certainly have something that our young folks like and enjoy to say nothing of the ben -ks they derive.

The distance is 680 miles, and it was estimated that the I j flight could be made in nine hours. j It was the expresed purpose of, the great explorer to turn round at ! the pole and fly back to Spitzbergen if it should appear unsafe to land, j Accordingly, a watchout was kept for 1 ( the two planes after the expiration of j, eighteen hours. But days have passed j ] and no word from the daring party. | If no accident befell the planes be- i fore they reached the pole, which po sition would be located..by observa tions of the heavens as a position is at sea, it is supposd that the planes landed, whether safely or not, and that the party is either, like Amuns den at the south pole, deliberately j exploring the area, or if wrecked on ! landing are forced to make the best of the situation.
