Ford's Detroit, Toledo & Ironton
line from Toledo to tidewater in
Virginia. The road extends from
Norfolk to Deepwater, W. Va. Iron
tor, terminus Of Ford's line, is 100
miles away, so a connection of
these two would not be a difficult
task
Such a rail system would permit
the Ford plants here to bring their
coal from the mining districts on
their own trains, 1t is said. This,
some claim, is Ford's latest move
in his fight against coal concerns.
Charging that the price OF coal had

gave notice that he would suspend

What acquisition Of lines to Kan.

q matter Of conjecture entirely.
There may be some truth to one
fheory that Ford may be planning
for further competition from low.
priced automobiles, and as means
of reducing this cost, plans to ship
as far as possible and as fast as
possible on his own lines before It
becomes necessary to use other
roads to more distant distribution
centers. Similarly, the line to Buff
falo, tits contended, would put
Ford cars nearer New York in

He kissed her and resumed his analysis of love making.
 Although I think people should marry young, also am firinly of the opinion that they should not marry until they know each other very well indeed, When a man meets a girl at a. dance and marries her two days lsEer they are simply coRnIipg trou ble.

EXPLORERS IN
 RACE TO POLE
Expeditions to Hop Of from Opposite Sides for North
 Polar Regions.

WASHINGTON, July 8. (By Universal Service.) - What prom ises to be the most adventurous race in history will be flown late this summer over land, open and frozen seas, glaciers and the bar ren wastes of the Arctic region to the North Pole.
 The contestants in the epic will be Captain Amundsen, discoverer of the South Pole, and Major Gran, an aviator Both are Norwegians They will fly from opposite sides of the pole.
 Foreign attaches of the American air service reported today that Ma jor Gran will shortly go to ISpitzber- gen, north of Greenland, to map out his route.
 Captain Amundsen, already in Arctic regions, plans to fly to the pole from Point Barrow off North eastern Alaska
 SO Below Zero Air.
 The temperature in the air will be from 50 to 80 degrees below zero. Gales and snowCtorms will be encountered and the routes will be over practically uncharted territory
 A dead engine means practically certain death and a forced landing for any reason, whether it is made safely or not leaves the flying ex- plorers almost no chance for life. They will need almost perfect luck to survive the race
 Death Has Odds. Their chance of rescue in the event of forced landings is not worth considering. Without dogs and sleds, their prospects of reach ing civilization afoot are practically lnil.-..s -4A4~s.4zs-----.-s. The race was not prearranged. Just before he left for Nome, Amundsen learned that Major Gran proposed to fly to the North Pole. Amundsen felt the only noteworthy feat remaining to exploration was a flight to the Pole. So he speeded up his journey.
 The chances are with Amundsen who is already in the field with his equipment, but he has about 2,00O miles to cover; Gran about 1,500. Their actual time in the air should be from twenty to twenty-four hours.
 Capt. Roald Amundsen, the Nor wegian explorer, who left Seattle June in the schooner Maud. left Nome last week for Point Barrow where he plans to hop off in an ef- fort to traverse the North polar cap in an airplane. according to re- ports received here recently from Nome.
