Saving Fat In Iowa.

Nonedible fats have been recon.
mended by many demonstrators as de-
sirable for home soap making. While
this is no doubt practical IN many
households, a campaign is being car
ried on in some localities to collect fat
to be sold to fat dealers for shipping
to soap factories where the glycerin Is
extracted. The glycerin is then shipped
to munition factories. Here is hint
for Iowa farmers who have saved a
quantity Of fat.

TranscOntinental Airway Serv-
ice Via Southern Vermont
GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL
Plan for Boston TO Seattle Air Route
Through Manchester, N. H., Ben
nington and Troy.

Springfield Dec 23 Southern Yer.
mont and New Hampshire residents
are discussing with the home coming
aviators and soldiers interested in
aviation topics the proposal to the gov
ernment, by the Aero cluo Of America
to establish transcontinental airway
service to be known as Route A.,
"Chanute and Bell Airway," extend
ing from Boston to Seattle and Port
land. Or, by way OF southern Yer
mont and New Hampshire, direct to
Albany and offers OF land Tor landing
places in Vermont have already been
made.
Interest in aerial service has quick
ened since the flyers began returning
from the front with stories OF wonder
full accomplishment by airmen in bat
tie Brattleboro has furnished sew
eral excellent operators In service, all
of whom have been exceedingly fortu-
nate in Their flights
Several OF the largest land owners
along the purposed New England
route who, for patriotic reasons, think
the course Of the airmen should follow
the old-time stage line from Boston TO
Troy through Manchester. ~ H.,
keene Brattleboro and Bennington,
have offered the government sizable
sites for landing and equipment sta
tions and for such other uses as might
be necessary.
A Worcester man and former
prominent Vermonter offers a desir-
able tract on the Green Mountains to
the government for use in this airway
scheme 1t is understood that two
other routes, with Pacific terminals,
are talked about and that at least
three different ones may be establish
ed, all depending upon the success OF
the Green 'Iountain route which it is
hoped viii be tried out in the early
spring
Some OF tfP more enthusiastic air
men are sure a successful trip viii
be made by airmen across the Allan
Tic before midsummer next year. and
even talk Of trips TO Japan and around
the world. They point TO hle accom-
plishments by some OF the late mod,
els of aircraft. with records OF fom
days in the air and see no reason to
doubt the ability of some Of the best
operators to stay up a week and
more.
The trip from Boston to Seattle
ought to be made in three days. say
these enthusiasts, without the least
trouble when the new machines. about
to be commissioned, are employed and
these, they say, can carry at least g
dozen passengers with their ordinary
baggage.

EXPEDITION To
THE NORTH POLE
BY AIRPLANES
To Explore. Survey and Photo
graph Region
CAPT. BARTLETT AT HEAD
Plan Was Conceived by Rear-Admiral
Peary, .Discoverer Of the Pole
To Start in June.

New York, Dec. 23.--An expedition
TO be led by Capt Robert A. Bartlett,
noted explorer, will be sent to the po-
lar regions next June to survey the
north pole by airplane, according to
an announcement at New York last
night by the Aero club of America.
The plan, it was said, was conceived
by Rear.Admiral Robert e. Peary, dis
coyerer Of the pole.
The purpose of this expedition,
which, it was said, would be the most
completely equipped ever sent out,
win be to explore, survey and pho
tograph the unexplored parts of the
Arctic regions ard establish the ex'
istence OF nonexistenee of land or
lands in that region" 1t is also in
tended, according to the announce
ment, ITO explore the upper air and
the bottom OF the polar BASIN
Results of inestimable value to the
United States and to science surely
will be obtained from this expedition, -
said the announcement, which added
that the club would raise $3.50, 900 to
finance the trip
The north pole has been discov.
cred but the major part of the work
still remains to be done. Both Ad
miral Peary and Capt Bartlett want
to da a great deal of scientific research
in the polar basin. of which over
100000 square miles remain unex
plored and they would want to have
laboratory on the ship where the
flora and fauna from the OCEAN bot
tom will be kept until the return OF
the expedition. Little or no data has
been obtaind from the bottom OF
the polar basin and no meteorological
surveys have been made in the polar
region
Asserting that With the cooper
alton OF the leading geographical and
scientice bodies assured" !" 1t is planned
to have the expedition leave the Unit
ed States next June. the announce
ment continued. There are six
weeks OF fair weather in July and Au
guest, when, even in the polar regions
it is seldom lower than 60 degrees
above zero The plans are to have q
ship to go to Etah about 600 miles
from the north pole, in June. wher
the ice is sufficiently broken TO permit
the ship to cross Melville bay,
The ship would carry a large sea
'lane or land airplane for the fine
ligL across the top of the earth ant
f2s exploration Of the unexploret
/ polar regions, as well as smalle,
I planes for the scouting flights.
Immediately upon arrival at Etal
base would be established, anl
while waiting for the ice to break ul
further north TO permit the ship to q
as far as Cape Columbia, the smal
seaplanes would fly Cane Columbi,
and establish a base there for tn,
'arge plane which is to be used TO
the fight across the top of the worll
from Cape Columbia on the American
side, over the pole to Cape Chelpus
kin on the Siberian side. and for eN
ploration over longer distances.
