It is now February 26.—For
en days the Club has received
.o direct word from Arthur Abele
a Little America. The inter
uption is due to several things.
)ne of these is the fact that the
ngineers are changing the radio
quipment at Little America and
istalling directional antennae so
hat future messages, stories and
roadcasts will come through per
ectly- Messages are now being
eceived by Admiral Byrd and
ia men on the

.nable to send
less ages out.

the ice and the winter quarters
are being made as comfortable
as possible. Captain Allan Innes
Taylor, in charge of Admiral
Byrd’s dog department, has left
with three other men for a 300
mile journey back toward Car
men Land to establish -a food
base as part of the scientific
program of the expedition. A
crack which is developing in the
ice in back of Little America is
causing the Admiral some con
cern and he is taking his usual
early and wise precautions. When
Arthur’s stories start coming
through again, we hope he will
tell us all about that dog sled
journey so you may mark it
properly on your Club maps.
This delay gives us a chance
to tell you about an interesting
member of the Club who is not
on the Expedition but is a very
important member of it. This is
Richard C. Hoyt who, with his
radio receiving set, constitutes
the northern end of the 10,000
mile air line that transmits the
stories from President Abele and
Lieut. Comdr. George Noville,
who are collaborating in keeping
the now 12,000 Club members
informed about the doings down
at the bottom of the world.
From midnight to 8 a. m. every
night except Wednesdays, Dick
Hoyt is glued to his set, high in
the radio room of the Mackay
Radio and Telegraph Company,
on Broad Street, New York, and
receives Abele’s stories, expedition
news bulletins, messages to fam
ilies and all the other “word
traffic” which goes on between
this scientific Expedition and the
outside world. Hoyt is a car
toonist, a photographer, a wood

In your body. To correct this condition take
ALKA-SELTZER
The New Pain Relieving, Alkalizing, Efferveecent Tablet,
It is called Alka-Seltzer because it makes a sparkling alkali
drink, and as it contains an analgesic (Acetyl-Salicylate) it firs
relieves the pain of everyday ailments and then by restoring
the alkaline balance corrects the cause when due to excess acid.
Alka-Seltzer is pleasant to take, harmless, non-laxative.

This week we had a most in
teresting visit from D. G. Shook,
in charge of the expedition mail
bureau at Washington, and he
asked us to explain to the Club
members how they can have let
ters -or envelopes addressed to
them actually sent from Little
America with the cancelled Byrd
Antarctic Expedition II stamp.
On January 30th, President
Roosevelt’s birthday, Admiral
Byrd opened in Little America
the most remote official post of
fice in the domain of the United
States.
There will be only two cancel
lation dates for the mail sent
from Little America. One of
these dates will be that of the
opening of the Little America
Post Office on President Roose
velt’s birthday. It is, of course,
too late now to send mail for
that dating. The second date
has not yet been decided but
letters for this second cancellation
are now being accepted by the
Postmaster for delivery about a
year from now.
Those who wish to receive or
send officially stamped letters
from Little America may send
as many letters as they desire,
addressed to themselves or to
friends. The addressed letters
should be left unstamped and
should be inserted in another en
velope with the usual domestic
postage affixed. Enclose a pos
tal money order for 53 cents
payable to the Byrd Antarctic
Expedition. The outside envelope
should then be addressed to the
Byrd Antarctic Expedition II,
care of The Postmaster, Wash
ington, D. G. Do not address
these letters to the Club. We
are simply telling you about this
mail arrangement for your infor
mation and to render additional
service to the Expedition. All
the letters you send addressed to
yourself or your friends will be
packed at Washington and sent
to San Francisco by train. Then
they will go by steamship to
New Zealand where they will be
placed on board the Expedition’s
flagship, Jacob Ruppert, and the
Bear of Oakland, which will take
them next December or January
to the Ross Ice Barrier. There
they will be unloaded and hauled
by dog team to Little America
Where they will be postmarked
and returned to you and the other
recipients. By the time they get
back they will have traveled al
most 25,000 miles and, with the
beautiful stamp and the interest
ing official cancellation from the
Little America Post Office, they
will make a wonderful souvenir
for years to come.
Readers of these stories are
applying for membership cards
and the free map of the South
Polar regions faster than we can
take care of them with the
Club’s small staff. We have
12,000 members already and
pretty soon we shall be one of
the biggest Clubs in the world.
In addition to the lapel button
which we expect to send out in
the near future, we are going to
send diagrams of some of the
equipment being used on this
great Expedition. In the mean
time, if you would like to join
the Club, without cost, and re
ceive one of the free working
maps so you can keep track of
all the Expedition flights, explo
ration trips, etc., simply send a
self-addressed stamped envelope
