London.-Claude Grahame White, the
aviator, thinks that II the great Euro
pean war had come ten years later, the
best results from craft in the air would
have been secured In a recent article
he writes:
1.-The great war has come soon for
aviation-almost too soon. Splendid
aerial scouting should be done; vital
information gained. both above land
and sea- Aerial duels should be fought.
Dirigibles, which are the Dreadnoughts
of the air. should be attacked by fight
ing planes. But If it had been only

Ing six men, lowed another sledge
weighing 400 pounds and carrying two
men, at a speed of from fifteen 10
twenty miles an hour. Only thirty
horsepower motor was used instead OF
the larger ones that have since been
installed, with which speed of twen-
ty-two miles an hour up 10 per cent
grade with three men on board has
been made.
Two other sledges have the positive
drive only and are expected TO cover
about fifty miles a day each as against
the 10 TO 100 miles Of the aero sledges-
The engines of these are water cooled,
and the water jackets are piped to
steam cooking appliances, so that food
may be heated while on the march.
Scientifically Devised Rations.
The food problem of the Shackleton
expedition is a particularly difficult
one Food supplies for the entire jour
ney of 900 miles from Weddell sea 10
the pole and 800 miles from the pole
to Ross sea must be taken along,
whereas most polar explorers are able
to make caches of food for use on the
return journey. So q scientifically de-
vised ration, on which the members of
the party have already subsisted for
days at a time has been prepared and
enough of ii packed in sausage skins
for easier transportation TO last through
the LOO mile trip.
Each man will receive thirty six
ounces OF food daily, instead OF the
three pounds which Is the average con-
sumption. In this will be six ounces
Of lard, four ounces Of sugar and two
ounces of a mixture of dried milk, pro-
tein and oats. The rest OF the ration
consists of Brazil nuts, almonds and
beechnuts mixed with oil and dried
milk. The fat content Of the ration
Is larger than the normal for temper
ate climates, since the low tempera-
ture win place severe strain on the
heat producing elements Of the body,
which can only be kept up to normal
by plenty of fat foods

sending the literature to the nearest
home, either state or national, where
they would be of interest to old sol
