! CHICAGO.-When two wise
men of the East and two wise men
of the Middle West place their
seal of approval upon ChildWel-
fare movement such as the Junior
First Aid Legion, organized in
Chicago, we may be sure that there
is great need for it. The tragic
death of our Presidents son, Cal
vim, served to show that no wound
is slight"
Every year, throughout the
country, twenty thousand children
between the ages of ten and four
teen, meet death through accident,
and over three hundred thousand
are injured. This does not take
into account the many accidents to
children of different ages.
/ No more will the false precepts
'of goose grease and raw beef be
tolerated when Willie comes home
with badly bruised eye or LAGER
Iated foot or palm, for Willie is a
member Of the Junior First Aid
Legion. He has a plainly written
and illustrated First Aid Book and
Ia compact first aid kit. He under
stands the danger of neglecting an
open wound, be it ever SO slight.
He is not only taught to minister
to his own hurts, but understands
how to care for his comrades in
time Of stress.

 PER MAN WILL BE PART OF AIR MACHINES POLAR BURDEN

OSLO, Norway, April 13.-Before leaving for Spitzbergen April 9, on his latest polar venture, Raold Amundsen said he would feel safer in an air plane in quest of the North Pole than he would in an automobile in a crowd ed Oslo street, He declared he believ- ed he would find many suitable places to make landings in the vicinity of the Pole.

gloom. The man on the end of the
dock remained motionless until it was
gone, and then turned and walked

They were little puzzling; but

of darkness, which might or might not
mean anything unusual. Mr.. Blake
was to accompany them, and, accord

Their destination was some island
whose exact location was a mystery
to Captain Brent. Who was Mr.. Blake,
and what island was it? Dick puzzled
over the situation for long time. He
recalled the reference to some mysteri:
GUS captain who might have played a
trick on them by marking the map
wrong. Who was he?
Piecing together one thing after an
other, Dick finally came to the concll-
sion that the expedition was an adj
venture, undertaken by Cutler for the
furtherance of some personal scheme
that he wished to keep secret, and Mr..
Blake was managing it for him.
So far all seemed plain, but the
mystery of the island to which they
were going introduced a puzzling fac

seemed to dawn upon him.
