HIRAM BINGHAM is another college

HIRAM BINGHAM is another college
professor, but he would be mighty fine
trench-digger. In Peru. on the top of
mountain, lies the ancient forgotten city of
Machu Picchu. Once it was the capital of
the Inca nation, but. for some unknown
reason. was abandoned centuries ago. No
scientist had explored it-that is. until Pro-
fessor Bingham headed an expedition to find
out about it. They climbed the walls of the
mountain, and, once established on the
plateau. set to work with picks and shovels
to uncover the ancient glories of this city.
He got so much data that he is still writing
his book which will explain his conquest to
the world.

These
Boys


A BOVE my head was a
faint halo of blue iri-
descence, and finally l saw
a thin line dangling down
to me-" This is Anthony
Fiala's description of his
rescue from a crevasse.
After they had hauled him
out. they measured the rope
used, and it was found to be
seventy feet long. He had
been caught down there by
a slight funnel-like forma-
ton of the ice. His feet
were kicking in a black void,
the depth of which no man
knew. That was when he
was commander of the sec
ond Ziegler Expedition of
exploration in the arctic.
Before that he had been an
engraver, a soldier in the
Spanish war, a newspaper
correspondent, and a car
toonist.

YOU have not forgotten
Amundsen. His first name
is Road. He is the man who
beat SCOTS expedition to the
South Pole. although he didn't
know it for a couple of years
afterward, and SCOTS tragic
end was such a shock to him
that he gave up polar explora-
ton for something almost as
cold. He is an aviator now in
the Norwegian army corps, all
primed for the possibility of
war. There is something about
these men who go farthest
north and farthest south and
far.hest into the jungles that
makes them unhappy unless
death is winging its way close
behind them.

Not discreditihg Knabe- more power to hin-for he was a great second baseman in his day, but he has passed that time. He isn't to be compared with Joe Schultz, in spite of the fact that Joe has a lame arm. Schultz can run, hit and field, while F. Otto can dc only the latter.
 The Pirates need a second haseman now, at least until the time that in condition, for he had not contem- more, is even heavier than last sea- son, when he slowed up. considerably He stole seven bases in the outlaw circuit last season in 100 games, which is proof positive of his lack of heetness.

 You can't crowd you way into street car that is damned full and expect to get a seat.
 Because the rush of workers caught the city unprepared is no good reason why there should not. be an intelligent and energetic start to solve the problenf-the most impor- tant that Bridgeport has faced because of whatit means in the future.
 Whose business is it2
 It is YOUR business, if Bridgeport is your city, whether your are machinist or a minister, marketman, or manufacturer a fiddler, or financier, a laborer or a law yer. Your prosperity depends upon Bridge ports prosperity.
 You can't expect a single committee like that of The Chamber of Commerce to solve the problem, The whole city must get to work on it-and work hard.
 If you are built that way you can join in the poor, feeble, foolish chorus: 'EYes, con- ditions are certainly deplorable Something really should be done about it.''
 Mo- there is nothing to. prevent you from joining the army of side-steppers- except your own intelligence and your own pride.
 What can YOU dog a4 $ z4s=4 *7
 The first thing is to make ~upr your mind that the solving of this home problem is part of your job, and that you can't afford to fall down on it, be- cause it will cost you to much in dol lars and cents
 Then you can do some straight, clear, n earnest, honest thinking, instead of letting someone else do it for you = the kind of thinking that leads to intelligent action.
