StefanSSon's Praises

New York, May 10 tPl-Enjhal- mur Stofansson expressed enthusi- asm al Lieut., Commander Richard F. Byrd's successful flight over the north pole.
 "I am delighted with Byrd's sue cess, ," said the veteran Arctic ex- plorer. "Therc have heretofore been two schools of opinion as to arctic flying, one maintaining that it is no more difficult than any oth- CT kind. and the other that it is ex- tremely difficult and dangerous. I feel sure that when Byrd's story comes in it will bear out the opinion of the former school, 10 which Byrd himself belongs"
 Stefansson said he had never ap- proved Of Byrd's original plan 10 fly first 10 Peary Land and then to the pole
 Landing is extremely dangerous he said, 'I have always been oppos- ed 10 all landings in arctic eXplor- ations. The information that can be obtained by landings is never worth the risk.
 Byrd had two objectives. He has attained one of them-nying to the north pole and back. This clears the decks for his more ambitious and more important flight to the north

Italians ChaCrinrd

Rome, May 10 LP,-Ncws of Lieu tenant Commander Byrd's success in reaching the north pole by airplane. was given spread headlines in most of the Rome newspapers this morn- ing, but because Of the lateness of the dispatches there was no editorial comment.
 Aeronatical circles, in which the news travelled like wild fire, did not conceal their chagrin over the fail ure Of the Italian built Norge to win .the race, but declared that If any one had to beat us, we are glad it was an American"
 These circles pointed out that the Norge was no match for Comman- .dor Byrd's Tokker plane, when it was question of speed competi- .tion.

 sun compass and the third a drift
 indicator.
 l As q result of these and other ac- Icomplishments, Byrd in 1919 was assigned 10 the duty of developing nayigational methods and providing equipment for the successful trans Atlantic flight of the NC-&. He vol
 untccred to fly from England 10 this country in the dirigiblo ZR-2 and was in England when the airship was wrecked.
 In 1916, an injury resulted in . Byrd being retired, but almost i'm duty. During the World war he rendered valuable service and this. with the added fact that his record showed seventeen citations. four of them for bravery, had much to do with congress passing a special act giving him the rank of lieutenant
 commander, a temporary appoint .mcnt he already had held. He had l organized tho department commis-
 sion on training camps in 1917. The l following year, he went 10 Canada
 10 take command Of the United
 States naval forces in that country.
 "I hay, no hesitation in saying
 that he. more than any one else, by
 his own qualifications, had much 10

 of the bureau wrote.

 The following message to Com .mander Byrd was broadcast from WWCA. New York, in the hope that he would be able to pick 1t up at his base at Kings Bay: New York CTS send their congratulations upon your flight over the north pole"
 The message was signed by, Viljhalmar Stefansson, John Davis, Carl Lomen and Arthur L. Lee.
 Anthony II. J. Fokker, designer of the airplane used by Byrd in his flight commended the daring of the two men in making the dash 10 the pole. T have the greatest admira- ton for Byrd and Bennett and I am glad that two Americans were the first to fly across the pole" said MT. Fokker.

Some Papers Dubious

Copenhagen, Denmark, May 10 LP, The Copenhagen newspapers today feature Lieutenant Commander Byrd's daring north pole flight the success of which surprised every body, including Arctic and aviation experts.
 Has he been there?" is the headline in several papers, but most authorities agree it is reasonable to believe that he achieved the exploit. Among these authorities is D. La Cour, chief Of the Copenhagen me neurological institute.
 While it is claimed the flight will yield little scientific information. it lis everywhere hailed as a great feat.

His RnxhnOd Dream

When Commander Richard Eve lyn Byrd set sail from New York April 6, the occasion marked the realization Of dream which had been with him since boyhood days -an expedition of his own into the arctic regions.
 With him was Floyd Bennett, chief petty officer in the naval air service, who flew over 5000 miles with the commander last year when inc two accompanied the NlacMIian party in the north. He became Byrd's right hand' man and the two O. them planned to share the most dangerous and i'm portaut work of the expedition.
 "Bonunt is q man of the great -s' energy. endurance and skill Uoth as a navigator and as me- .nauic." Byrd worfe Of him. "I would mol like 10 be in tho arctic without him and I would take him before any other man in the world"

 Such diseases as plague cholera, smallpox and yellow fever, are still very potential dangers, and with out the safeguards thrown round us ny our health departments. the ey- periences Of the past might be re- peated easily at any time.
 These dangers are close 10 home. We all drink water and milk, more now than eyer before, perhaps, but millions of human beings have lost their lives in times past from drink ing water and milk.
 How, you ask. have they been killed hy drinking these two sub stances? The pollution Of water and milk by the divine discharges Of hu- man beings causes such diseases as typhoid fever, dysenterT so called summer complaint in babies and young children, and other intestinal disturbances.
 The contamination need be very little. One typhoid fever patient can infect an entire water shed. Milk has often been infected by washing cans in contaminated wa fer
 Milk may also become infected when cows are milked by disease carrier. notably typhoid or q diph- theria carrier
 Here the milk or one COW, If in f"cfcd by such a carrier and mixed with other milk. may infect large part Of e city supply, The typhoid germ particularly, multplies very rapidly in milk, unless it is kept at very low temperature.
 Tuberculosis, scarlet fever, and septic sore throat may also be caused by drink 'ng infected milk.

 Shs knew that he did. She knew that in his own way he really did care for her. What he was offering her wasn't the strong. sweet thing his first love had been. But was love always sweet? " it?
 Couldn'. ii he as bitter as the salt tears she had shed-and still be love? She i,new that it could. What did it matter, after all, that he had broken her heart and broken her pride, and lied to her, and cheated her, and robbed her of her happiness? What did anything in the world matter so long as he still wanted her? Sc long he was still her Ranny?
 She knew that nothing else did matter, or ever would. "Ran1y." she said, and her voice broke on dry sol. She put her arms around him with that beautiful. maternal. passionate gesture that a woman has only for the man who belongs to her through thick and thin. through fire and water-"for better. for worse: for richer for poorer.
