PROBLEM
South on All Sides, He May
Pick Wrong Meridian
For Return.

BERGEN, Norway, June 1S.-
Ronald Amundsen, the famous
Norwegian Arctic explorer, will at
tempt his hazardous air flight from
Point Barrow, In Alaska, to Spitz-
bergen at the end Of June, it is
announced here Between these
two points he will traverse what
has hitherto been the Arctic's
blind region" territory Of which
nothing whatever IL known. The
greater part Of this blind sector
lies directly between Point Barrow
nnd the North Pole.
Experts in polar work consider
that one of the greatest of the
difficulties Amundsen will have to
contend with will be that Of orienta-
tion-the determination Of his lati-
tude and longitude while under
flight. Assuming that Amundsen
starts from Point Barrow under
ideal conditions. and in due course
finds himself directly over the pole.
he will, according to 'astronomic
theory. have south on all sides of
him.
It il Of vital importance that he
start his southwark course along
the right meridian, for although in
whichever direction he flies 1t will
be south. the following ola wrong
meridian may lead him along the
icy wastes Of the Greenland table
land or even across to Siberia.
Another danger. according to
polar experts, is that he may find
himself over the open sea between
Greenland and Spitzbergen, which
Is some $50 miles at this point, and
entirely out of the routes Of any
vessels employed in Arctic work.
Spitzbergen is notorious for the
thick fogs which suddenly and
completely envelop 1t in the course
Of few moments. and here again
lies q danger.
The success or failure Of the ad.
.venturous flight. polar navigators
say, depends upon atmospheric
conditions, and on these alone
engine failure, of course. excepted.

CONCERNING SEATTLE

The street railway system Of
Seattle, like hat of Detroit, is
municipality operated. But
There's a Difference
for Detroit thinks it can operate on
a five cent fare with one cent for a
transfer, while Seattle knows that
it can not.
That's Because
Seattle has been experimenting
with five cent fares and got itself in
a hole.
Seattie's Fare
When the city took over the system
in April of 1919, was five cents. By
several steps it was increased until
in January 1921, it was ten cents,
three tickets for twenty-five cents
and so continued until 1923. Then
Somebody Said
that so many more people would
ride at five cents that a nickel fare
would bring no reduction in rev.
ellue. And Seattle believed it until
the
Railways Loss
in revenue under a five cent fare,
put into effect March l, 1923,
amounted to about $4,000 a day
with no material increase in pas
sengers. When this became known
the
City Council
overrode the Mayor, and in conse-
quence the ten cent fare goes back
on the earliest possible date-June
20.
