Macmillan Sends Radio Greeting
From Winter Quarters in Arctic


The Pacific coast amateur who got
II first was J. Barnsley Tof Prince
Rupert. British Columbia. He heard
Min, who NSnowS amateurs all over
the country from long radio acquaint-
ance. calling station in the state
of Washington; the time was 11:10
p. m. Mix got no answer. Barnsley
got in touch with Mix by midnight.
Hello, old top" Mix radioed, your
signals are very strong here"
He gave their latitude as 1880. the
location given last month when the
Bowdoin reached Etah, station
which was used as base by Peary
when he made his voyage that led to
the discovery of the pole in 1909.
DR.. Macmillan was one of the Peary
party then.
Expect Excellent Results.
To Barnsley Mix also said that he
had exchanged signals with lama
and 7-DC, but after that was unable
to raise any station. You can't i'm
agine how glad / am to raise you,
old man." Mix added. When Barnsley
asked if the party had heard of the
Japanese disaster, Mix replied, mo,
old man; a longwave tuner is no
good for press" In the course of
their chat Mix told of plans for a
walrus hunt to be undertaken the
next morning.
Some of Mix's previous efforts to
reach radio stations had been over
heard before Prince Rupert gave re-
newed INSTRUMENTATION and the
American Radio Relay League learned
that on September 6 w. II. Marshall
of Swissvale, Pa, whose station is
SCI, overheard the Bowdoin calling
17-E, which belongs to Irving YER
milya of Marion, Mass. Before that
Mix tried to get Massachusetts sta
tions, with which he has previously
had success in communicating.
AS night is favorable to radio and
the nights are fast lengthening in the
latitude at which the Bowdoin is
wintering, it is now believed by radio
enthusiasts that the experiment of
arctic wireless will produce results
perhaps even more satisfactory than
those originally hoped for.

Andrew NJ. Lawrence, publisher of
the San Francisco Journal, who first

Iitical chances in 1924, printed in the
journal today his version of the man

His disclosure followed allegations

IS substantiated by the fact that the
letter has since been published in
practically every newspaper in Amer

Radio messages from all parts of
Nogth America have penetrated the
far north and reached Donald B. Mac
MILAN, explorer, in the forecastle of
the little schooner Bowdoin.
That is the word received by anna
teur radio operators when at last the
increasing daily period of darkness
favorable to wireless has enabled the
Rowdoin to send through acknowl-
edgments and messagse from the
other side of the region where the
aurora borealis makes barriers in the
air.
In winter quarters-all well-ice
forming-and IT'S good to hear you"
That is the gist of the messages
licked off by Donald Mix, the member
OF the American Radio Belay League
who went north last June as DR.. Mac
Millan's operator.
The receipt of Mix's messages after
period of silence put an end to
growing anxiety =
Among the messages sent to the
Bowdoin after the re-establishment to
to-and-fro communication was the
news OF the Japanese earthquake.
Sends Greeting to Sister.
The Rowdoin sent other messages to
be relayed through America, one
being greeting from Donald Mac
MILAN to his sister, Mrs. Letitia
Fogg of Freeport, Me-, who added the
last touches of comfort TO the Bow
doin before the tiny vessel sailed
The greeting to Mrs. Fogg, the first
for relaying sent out from the
schooner from its permanent quar-
ters for arctic research, read:
I'VE are in winter quarters ten
miles north of Etah. Fine trip up.
Boys all well. DON
This was flashed from a point
1000 miles north of the Atlantic
starting point, was caught on the
western edge of America, and then
sent stage by stage across the con-
tinent.

actions that do infinitely more harm,
yet manage to slip through the law.
Thus the impression is given that
society is biased and unfair ana
comes down hard on small offenders
while letting big ones go.
If that feeling became general,
society would deteriorate fast. As
long as there is so much sin and
shame in the world, many people are
going to do wrong things and "get
away with it," in spite of the best
efforts of government, courts and
police. Now if all the other people
who do wrong things can have their
deeds tolerated, on the ground that
other offenders have escaped, the
whole structure of society falls down.
The only way to remove evils is to
hand out exact justice to anyone VINO
is caught doing wrong, regardless
whether other people escape or not.
People who are accused of doing
wrong are often grossly misjudged.

Free Seeds Again

Duluth Sunday Tribune: The an
nual farce of the free seed appropri-
alton is being enacted in congress,
but this year there seems te-be some
possibility Of different outcome.
For years it has been the Gus
tom to eliminate this appropriation
in committee, and then restore it in
the house, bat this year the house
upset a precedent and refused to
restore it. The vote was close, how
ever, and this petty pork barrel
measure is not yet dead beyond pos
sibility Of revival.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1923-01-24

The reason why the measure dies
so hard, of course, is that 1t gives
members an opportunity to do lit
tie campaigning with public money.
In theory, the measure is less OBJ
jectionable than it is in practice. But
the waste connected with II Is great
because the seeds have been distri-
buted, in the main, not to those who
would make good use of them, but
to those who might be influenced
politically by note and a package
of seeds from a congressman.
1t is one of the petty LEAFS in the
treasury that has existed for years,
and the difficulty in closing it, des-
pite the general condemnation it has
met, reveals some of the difficulties
a budget director meets with wilen
he attempts to cut government ex-
penditures.

The excuse is often given for mis-

folks raise the cry that the little

They may have a wholly different
story to tell if you could hear their
side of it. The man who excuses
his own conduct by pointing out the
errors of other people, has all he
can do to atone for his own sins and
should give his whole attention 70

Yearly Meeting Of Fraternity Proving
Great Good
Each year the attendance at the

From an attendance Of 200 in Chicago

present at the 18th Annual Conven-
ton held in St. Louis, Mo-, last year.
With a membership Of some 5000
men. and wifi 50 odd chapters located
at every important American College
and University, an approximate at
tendance Of more than 500 for the
coming convention seems conservative.
The important thing about these
meetings is that they are spent in dis
cussing questions Of vital importance

Of one Of these Conventions came the
idea Of the go to High School-Go
