TyIE success of Commands
i Byrd's swift, straight flight
to the North Pole by afrplane
makes 1t certain that within o
few years at the most similar
polar flights will be at the dis
posal of every "globe-trotter" with
nerve enough to trust his pilot
and to take his chances. And, IL
we Judge solely by this first ven
ture, the chances do not appear
to be unfavorable. A wise and
fortunate choice Of season and
weather seems to be the prime
requisite to success.
In time, as the art OF aerial
navigation becomes perfected, the
North Pole trip will be the most
recherche of all terrestrial jour-
neys, for it will carry the traveller
into an environment SO strange
to all ordinary experience that 1t
mus, seem like a visit to for
eign planet.
Merely to see the sun circling
round and round the sky with a
slow majestic motion. neither ris-
ing nor setting, but gliding
around as IL carried on a hori-
zontal track, is alone enough to
impart an atmosphere of wonder
and mystery to the snow-covered
polar world. No night, no stars,
but only perpetual day for weeks
and months OH end! II one
could go in the polar night, then
there would be horizontal
swirl of countless stars and
glimpses of the full moon, but
no sun.

When Beaverbrook left his Wash
ington bride, instead of taking her
on a tour or the world. as he had
promised, he took about $4,000 of
her ready money with him.
Soon thereafter the police identi-
fled him as one of the cleverest
swindlers in the United States.
The woman turned over to the
police $35, 900 in jewels. Only a
lawyer and a detective knew her
Tame at first. but she later adj
mitted publicly that she was the
duped wife, and said the jewels
had been showered on her by her
husband. She believed they we're
the property OF some other woman
victim. This later was found to be
true, and they were identified as
belonging to Mrs. Rose M, Burl1in,
OF 1913 West 111th ST., New York
city, who told police the jewels
were taken from her last May by
q debonair swindler whom she knew
as Karl Edwards. She identified
picture of Reaverbrook as that OF
the man who took her jewels.
When arrested on complaint Of
the irate Chicago husband in st.

When police disclosures blasted
the romance of her marriage with
a real member of the British
peerage, Mrs. Beaverbrook unfolded
