ty managed to push its way through
under unparalleled difficulties to One
Ton depot, but there the scarcity of
dog food, the consequent poor condi-
,tion Of the dogs drawing the two
sledges and the persistent savagery Of
the Antarctic storm forced halt.
Garrard and Demetri did not know
that only eleven miles farther south
in the white wilderness the brave men
they were trying to succor would die
nineteen days later. By just that mar
row margin of eleven miles Captain
Scott and his party had failed to win
over starvation and exposure.
On March 10, Garrard and Demetri,
the former suffering terribly from
heart strain due to the hard work Of
breasting daily blizzards, turned their
faces northward. They reached Hut
Point on March 16, their dogs almost
without exception frostbitten and SO
exhausted from lack of food as to be
temporarily unfit for further sledge
duty. Garrard himself was utterly ex-
hausted.
Neither Atkinson nor Evans accom-.
panied this first relief party. Evans
then being down with the scurvy and
Atkinson had remained with him.
When Garrard and Demetri finally
managed to return to Atkinson's camp
there were only two sound men left
in it. These two sound men-Atkin-
son and Keoghen-sledged out to Cor
ner camp in vain effort to lend nee
essary help to the southern party,
whose long-continued absence began
by this time to raise fears in the
hearts of the few puny explorers in
the heart Of the great silence.
Fight Way in Snow.
These two fought their way through
gathering SHOWS to Corner camp, de-
posted a weeks provisions there and
returned to Hut point.
Open water prevented communica-
tion with Cape Evans, where Lieuten-
ant Canlpbell's western party had its
headquarters, and it was not until
April of last year that communication
with Cape Evans was made possible
by the freezing of the ice.
The final searching party for Scott's
fexpedition left Cape Evans on October
80. 1912, after the hard Antarctic win
! ter hsd passed.

cHILD's FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 N. 9Th st., Terre Haute. Ind
my little nephew, boy Of four
years, had a breaking out on his face.
It was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
bliaters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but 1t did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say It hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
bilsters. So begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning l made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After had his
face washed, put the -Cuticura Oint-
ment on and in short time his little
face was all red and dry. I kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
we'll and 1t did not leave a scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week
and half" (Signed) Mrs. Arthur

ESTIMATES CALL FOR
S5OO,0O0 A MONTH
Tremendous Rush of Work

Power Co.

As an indication of the tremendous rush
of work on the part of the Alabama
Power company, it was ascertaned yes
terday that estimates for all work for
the next three months had been compiled
and found to call for s5Oo.oo0 per month.
The estimates were furnished by the
engineering departments and include the
spending Of over $780, 900 during the next
three months. The estimates indicate
that the work at Lock u. at Gadsden, on
tie steam plant and the transmission
lines. is being rushed rapidly to com
pletion.
Officials Of the company said yesterday
that the estimates as made were greater
than any heretofore and indicated in
slight way what was being done in trans
forming a point on the Coosa river into
a place for power generation and con-
sequent good to this state.

quies will be conducted by the Rev.
Henry M. Edmunds, pastor of the South
Highlands Presbyterian church.
Having passed her eighty eighth year,
Mrs Badham died at the residence of her
son. Henry Badham, yesterday morn
ing at s o'clock. Her death followed
two weeks indisposition, the two lat

of this city.
Mrs. Badham was greatly beloved in
Birmingham, fhere she visited often

in this city.
She was born April Z, 1926, at Brier-
field plantation, Buckingham county,

tiers in that state. She was a member

a member of one of Virginia's old fami-
lies inherited strong traits of character,
unusually keen intellect and a deep
and fervent religious faith. Her educa-
tion and training fitted her eminently
for useful life and in every sphere
her influence was felt and her person
ality impressed itself
She was married in 184S to Henry
Alexander Badham of Edenton, N. c.,
whose death occurred some time ago.
In addition to Mr. Badham of Birming-
ham Mrs Badham is survived by an
other son, Vernon c. Badham of Badham
S. c., and two daughters, Mrs. d. C.
