How many miles to q whale, not
how many miles to a gallon, Is the
problem of navigation with the
Bowdoin. according to Comdr. Don
aid B. Macmillan. leader of the
Macmillan Arctic expedition under
the auspices of the National Geo
graphic Society.
Oil-burning engines of most mod
ern ships are a bit particular about
their diet. Heavy Texas they de-
mand, but the Bowdoin engines are
omnivorous. With almost mathe-
matical precision, Comdr. MacMil-
Ian knows that If he can get so
many miles on whale, he re-
quires a certain number of wal
ruses and a small herd Of seal to
get an equal distance. The
Bowdoin burns seal oil, walrus oil,
whale oil and petroleum with equal
facility. Macmillan does not an
ticipate having to harpoon mileage.
since the ship will carry full tanks
of oil from Wiscasset, but the
Arctic is a land of emergencies, so
no safety factor is overlooked.
I'VE killed a whale at Etah last
year. tried out the blubber and OBJ
tanned IS gallons of oil which came
in handy for the Bowdoin's en-
gines." said Comdr. Macmillan.

Men and women will compete in a
handicap blind pig duckpin tourna-
ment at the Coliseum bowling alleys
this week. with entries closing tomor-

pig and handicap systems have been
combined to create a novel form OF
competition in which both luck and
skill are important. .-

only, men and women competing for
separate prizes. Twenty teams al
ready have entered and that many
more are expected to compete.
After all have rolled their three
game sets they will draw for handi-
caps. These will range from 10 to
200 pins. thus bringing into play the
element of luck that figures import
antly in the usual blind pig and
makes it possible frequently for weak
teams to win from the most skilled.
The men will shoot for first prize
of 40 iron men, second prize of 90
and a third of 10. A first prize of
20, and second prize of 10 will be
awarded the girls. The drawing for
handicaps will be made New Year
