Husband Not Liable
If Wife Deserts
His Home

A husband cannot be held
liable for the support Of his
wife or children after they have
deserted his home without con-
sent, according to a decision
handed down by the District
Court of Appeals yesterday in
sending back to the District
Supreme Court for a rehearing
the suit of Misses Ella and
Annie Downs against George A.
Maschauer for $4,12O.
The Misses Downs had sued
for that amount, charging that
they had taken Mrs. Maschauer
into their home and cared for
her and her three children when
she left her husband. The
court held that any merchant,
relative, friend or person who
undertakes to provide the neces-
sites for those wives who flee
their homes do so at their own
risk unless they have the hus-
bands consent.

(. EN- ROU,T E TO SP 1T ~
BERGEN, May 9.-And now to
the second unit of Amundsen's ex-
plot, the trans-Polar flight. This
is perhaps of greater interest as
It is close upon US, and the attempt
is both daring and epoch making.
We little realize the hours and
hours Of intense work and study
necessary to pave its way. For
months Amundsen and his assist
ant navigators were figuring out
deviations caused by the magnetic
influences on the compass and pre-
pairing emaps showing the devia-
;tions in the different ATTITUDES and
longitudes. But more about that
later.
Must Solve Difficulties.
+ Apart from the scientific ques-
tions of the flight, there were nu-
lilerous difficulties to be solved.
First, the transportation of the
Tnonoplane north, but fortunately it
was packed i'm such a manner that
II could be carried on the deck of
the Maud. Then, consultations with
the comparative few men who could
give information as to the probable
taking off fields in northern Alaska.
After careful investigation it was
decided that the best place to take
off would be on the Nunuwak river
about five miles south of Point Bar
row. The question of weight had
to receive the most thorough con-
eideration.
!. All the plane can possibly lift is
$500 pounds With gasoline for
twenty-four hours, lubricating OIL
the necessary instruments, together
with the weight of Amundsen and
the pilot, the limit was very nearly
reached: barely enough capacity left
for one or two days food supplies
and couple of rifles with ammu-
milton. A small radio set and a
small automatic moving picture
camera would have been valuable,
but were too heavy
4 Landing is Problem.
Another very. vital question was
how to take off-on skis or
wheels. Amundsen naturally de-
sires to make a landing in the
vicinity of the North Pole if at all
possible. but landing on ice with
wheels would be too dangerous, as
he would never be able to take off
again. On the other hand, starting
from the flying field on skis in
midsummer would be quite impos-
Rible due to lack of snow
The plan therefore was that the
small Curtiss plane should establish
. cache in the ice some hundred
miles north of Point Barrow, where
ever a safe landing place could be
found. Skis and gasoline should
be deposited there and the route 10
the cache marked by the throwing
down Of large pieces of black and
yellow weighted gauze, which, after
landing on the ground would be
easily visible from thousands of
feet in the air.
" Amundsen would then have
started on wheels following the
marked route and changed to skis
as well as refilled his gasoline tanks
1t the cache.
