They have shown their capacity for
drowning their crews in peaceful ma
neuvers. and, as an English paper puts
it, in time of war they are cowardly
weapons, for they strike below the
belt. There are those who believe
that submarines should be ruled out OF

An enthusiastic motorist won some
fame recently by making tour which
carried him well up toward the frozen

Antarctic explorer, has invented an
automobile to be mounted on runners
by which he believes he can reach
the South Pole more easily than by

yet have to substitute the auto for
the dogs which he hitherto has used
