ATTEMPT TO SCALE "R00F
OF CONTINENT" BY PLANE
Ayiators VIII Try to Hop to Peak OF
Mount Mckinley, Alaska,
With Camera

Anchorage, Alaska, Aug. ST.
Mount Mckinley, the highest eleva-
ton on the North American con-
tinent will ge scaled for perhaps the
first time. if the attempt of Carl B.
Eilelson, former army aviator, and G.
j. Lincke, Anchorage newspaper man,
to land in an airplane on the frozen
plateau at its summit proves success
full. The trip will be made for the
purpose of securing air photographs
of the famous peak and the national
park which encloses it. Closeup
photographs of great herds of noun
tain sheep and the great Alaskan
brown bear which range the mountain
Businesses will also be taken. ~
The start of the trip will be made
at Mckinley station, at the entrance to
the park, where there is natural
landing field. Other landing places are
also being located in various sections
of the park where additional fuel is
being stored.
On the trip from Fairbanks to the
entrance of the park the explorers
hope to photograph the great migra-
tory caribou herds that start down
from the Arctic during the latter part
of August, and the reindeer herds
grazing in Broad Pass. Entering the
park they will spiral to an altitude of
perhaps $4,000 feet, reconnoiter over
the plateau several miles square at
the summit, and II the ice will permit,
actually make a landing on the Roof
of the Continent" 2o,30O feet above
the sea.

AUTOS and TRAINS
IN s. COLLISIONS
This Is Record in This State for
First Seven Months

Railroad trains and motor vehicles
came together in thirty-six collisions
in Connecticut during the first seven
months of this year, injuring II
people and killing three more, accord
ing to a statement forwarded to the
motor vehicle department by he
safety bureau of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad.
During the first seven months OF
1922 there were twenty-nine such
collisions, injuring thirteen and kill
ling five persons. Twenty of these
twenty nine accidents involved pas
senger cars and trains while nine in
volved trucks, compared with twenty
four passenger car and twelve truck
collisions this year. For the 1922
period under survey there were TWEEN
ty-two motor vehicles hit by train
and seven trains hit by motor vehi-
cles This year there have been TWEEN
ty-three motor vehicles hit by trains
and thirteen trains hit by motor vehi-
cles. .'
Supplanting this statement, the
motor vehicle department has an
nounced that in addition to the Men,
orial Day crossing accident in New
ington in which an entire family was
killed, there has been one more fatal
ity, which occurred at Lime Rock, on
August Z, and in which Harry Nun.
son, 3o-year old truck driver was
the victim.
For the last five years, crossing
deaths have been happening through
out the United States at the rate Of
1920 each twelve months. Connecti-
cut has one-eightieth of all the auto
mobiles in the country and more con-
gested traffic conditions than the
average state. If Connecticut had had
one-eightieth of all the grade cross
sing deaths in the country so far this
year. there would have been fourteen
deaths for the first seven months
instead of the three that are listed.

DECLARES CROPS MUST Be Y
SAVED FROM DISTILLERS
German Hygienist Says Foodstuffs
Are Wasted in Production OF
Alcoholic Beverages

Berlin. Aug. s1.-German professors
of hygiene have criticized the Increase
of alcoholism in Germany In a me-
mortal addressed to the various gov
ernments urging that further steps be
taken to conserve the national food
stuffs now used in making liquor, and
to protect public health against the
increasing consumption of alcohol.
Doctor !. A. H. Setter, director OF
the Hygienic Institute Of the Univer-
sity of Koenigsberg, issued the me-
mortal on behalf of the Society of
German Professors of Hygiene. The
document suggests an absolute prohi-
bition of the use of foodstuffs, espe-
cially grain, potatoes and sugar, In the
manufacture of alcoholic liquors.
1T cannot be contested" the mem
orial says. that the production of al
cohol deprives the German people of
great quantities of foodstuffs. But 1t
is not this fact alone which causes us
to raise a voice of warning. We know
by experience that malnutrition fos-
tiers alcoholism, and that, on the other
hand, increasing alcoholism has a
double effect on underfed people. We
therefore ask the government to con-
troll with all means at its disposal, the

this means the collapse Of feeding can
be prevented"
DR.. Setter produces Prussian stalls
tics TO show that the use of alcohol
is on the increase.
Shortly after the publication OF this
memorial. II was announced that the
producers of alcoholic spirits In Ger
many had decided to stop using po-
tatoes in theif distilleries, and would
at once turn over to the food markets
all existing supplies.
