Witnesses Cross Examined.
AS chief spokesman for the opposi-
ton group Mr.. Ihlder declared that
the change porposed would hinder
home development and that he did not
desire to see the section of George
town containing the ancestral homes
turned into q community of cheap
apartment houses.
Cross-examlnation of the witnesses
by the opposing counsel became so in
tense that Engineer Commissioner j..
Franklin Bell, chairman Of the COM
mission, announced that the COM
mission was not sitting as a court
but was merely holding a public hear
ing on the proposed coming changes.
He advised the witnesses that they
were not required to answer the in

The proposed amendment to the
coming regulations which would create
a new area known as AA restricted
in which only detached homes with
two side yards could be constructed

Light Enough to Read.

1t is getting light enough now, due
to our high latitude, to read IA news
paper on deck at $50 o'clock in the
morning.
The forward hold, where the air,
planes are stored. is SO large that
there is ample room TO work on the
planes Floyd Q. Bennett and Servia
Mechanic Peterson have thoroughly
gone over the motors. and we are now
putting all special naviGational equip
ment on the planes. We have made
some special canvas hoods that com
pletely cover the motors, with a small
opening in the bottom 50 that we can
place a small gasoline stove under the
motors to heat them.
The wonderful high frequency radio
with which we are equipped is SO new
a thing and SO little is known about it
that there has been much to work out.
This low wave length is especially
susceptible to noises. 1t was found
necessary to put Subradio station
aStern on the poop deck so as to get
away from the midship noises of the
engines of this ship. A little radio
house is being built and insulated
from the cold by celoteX.
Mr. Hanson. l.. X. Greenlie and G..
Fl. James have worked day and night
on the radio and now we are getting
results than could be hoped for with
the low frequency wave length which
is generally used.
The Chantier is also equipped with
long wave lengths for short distance
work.
Radio amateurs in the United States
have seemed much interested in our
short wave set and we are in nightly
comEc unication with them.
The expedition is very fortunate in
having the services of Hanson. Green
lie and James, as they are among the
few who are qualified TO work with
short waves. 1t has been too rough to
transfer Hanson to a homeward
bound vessel. as we had expected

Gas and wind in the stomach accom-

acid in the stomach, creating so-called
acid indigestion"
Acid stomachs are dangerous because
TOO much acid irritates the delicate lin

ulcers Food ferments and sours creating
the distressing gas which distends the
stomach and hampers the normal func-
lions or the vital internal organs, often
affecting the heart.
1t Is the worst of folly TO neglect such
a serious condition to treat with ordi-
nary digestive aids which have no mem
traHsing effect on the stomach acids. In
stead get from any druggist a few ounces
OF Bisurated Magnesia and take tea
spoonful in quarter glass Of water right
AFTER eating. This will drive the eas

As the little rabbit hoped along
on his way to Rabbitville to get a
clothespin at the Three-in One
Cent Store for Lady Love, his pretty
bunny mother, he came to a grove of
pine trees. The path was thickly
strewn with brown, soft pine-needles
and his pattering feet made but lit
tie noise as he, hoped, clipperty
clip, Hpperty lip on his errand. All
of a sudden down fell a big cone,
and a voice called out.
Hello. little bunny! Are you all
alone?
Wait a minute while l show you
how l eat cone"
and down to the ground huttered
Red Crossbill,-a little bird, about
the size of an English Sparrow. to
feast upon the fruit of the tall pine
tree.
At once this pretty bird, whose
head, neck and back were covered
with beautiful Indian-red colored
feathers, began to tear open the pine
cone with his bill
II never saw bill like yours" re-
marked the little rabbit, as the
clever bird quickly tore apart the
cone and picked out the seeds.
Some folks would call it a de-
formity. but the very fact that the
tip of the under part turns up and
the tip of the upper part turns
down, makes 1t easy for me to tear
apart these tough cones" answered
Red Crossbill.
That's why they call you Cross
BILL" laughed the bunny boy. BE
cause the upper and lower ends of
your bill cross each other"
Very likely" agreed the pretty
bird, with a flutter of his dark
brown, almost black, wings and
tail. my bill is a wonderful instru-
ment for this sort of work, as | eat
very few berry and fruit Seeds
I'm sorry not to be able to wait

cried the little rabbit. remembering
his errand for Mother. Il must

away he went. lipperty lip, as Red
Crossbill. having finished with the
cone, once more flew up into the tall
pine tree, where he climbed about
like trained acrobat in search of
well-ripened cone.
Dear me, / hope no one will call
to me-" sighed the little rabbit, as he
hurried on. wonder what time it
Is" and he pulled out of his pocket
the tiny gold watch that dear Uncle
Lucky had given him some umpty-
'leven stories ago.
"Give me that watch" all of a
sudden shouted deep. growly
voice. and right there, only a few
feet away, stood Mr.. Wicked Wolf.
