MACMILLAN BRINGS SANTA CLAUS
FROM FROZEN NORTH TO ROTARY
CLUB CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

mander Macmillan and the following
tribute:
zone by one the unknown realms OF
earth have relinquished their secrets to
men who dared to daunt the hardships
that opposed.
"One by one the mighty defenses
with which Nature barred mans pro-
gress have fallen before indomitable
will and heroic courage.
Carved indellibly among the
names of the worlds great explorers
is that of our honored guest, Donald
3. Macmillan, Rotarian whose Arc
tic work is an ineStimable service TO
mankind"
Macmillan Speaks
In prefacing his remarks at the
supper session last evening, Com
mander Macmillan told kis hearers
that he would speak of some things
he did not mention on the lecture
platform. He told the RotarianS the
Esquimo phrases which nLean, Il am
glad that l have reached the end of
the trail, which the natives of the
frozen zone intone on their return to
their igloos after long drives with
their dog teams, and said that he I'M
consciously pronounced those same
words when on Monday he crossed
the border into this state. on the
train. He gave heartfelt tribute to
the State of Maine, her snow covered
hills, forests of evergreens, and beau
tiful rugged coastline and expressed
his opinion that *Any man who goes
to Florida from the State of Maine
must be either very old or an in
valid"
The explorer spoke of the radio ex-
periments during the months that the
"Bowdoin" and "Peary" were at Etah
and north, and lauded the work of
the 49, 600 boys of America, who with
their little 40 meter radio sets kept
in daily communication with the
party, when the powerful govern
ment-equipped stations could not re-
ceive messages.
1--WE have returned convinced that
far Northern work Will not be done
with the airplane. We did over 5000
miles of such work and for 5000
miles of that distance our fiiers
would not have had a chance in the
world for their lives if the engines
had stopped. The airplane will never
again be used over the Polar Sea.
Far Northern work in the future
will be done with the dirigible. with
which the danger is not in falling
down but in falling up. At the pres
ent time the building of an all-steel
dirigibe is being considered in De-
troit, and when exhaustive tests have
been made in this country showing
the ship to be able to Withstand tenn
peratures of Is degrees below zero,
it will be possible TO send it over the

and the North Pole will be possible.

Int. Com. Commission

Washington, Dec. Il. - CAP -
President Coolidge sought today to
end the controversy over the inter-
state commerce commission mem
bership by giving the south repre-
Sentation on that body.
He sent to the senate the nominal
ton of Richard V. Taylor of Ala
bama, who succeeded Charles G..
McCord. who. it developed, had re-
signed Saturday after 10 years serv-
ice.
AT the same time. the President
re-nominated Thomas f. Woodlock,
of Nav York, who is serving on the
commission under a recess appoint
ment made after the senate failed
to act on his nomination at the last
session. This was due largely to the
opposition of Democratic senators
from southern states, who wanted a

debate swept the senate. There were

nection with the nominations by
which the objection of southern SEN
ators to Mr.. Woodlock's confirmation
would be removed.
While at this time the opinion
seems to be that both nominations
will be approved it developed that a
number of senators on both sides of
the aisle will continue their oppo-
sition to Mr.. Woodlock. Some SEN
ators said they would vote against
both nominations.
