MAJOR LANPHIER SAID REAL TEST
 BE AT BARROW
ALASKA CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO TEST FLIGHTS MADE IN
 MICHIGAN

The critical test of the Wilkins Arc tic Expedition will come in the flight of the two planes from Fairbanks tC Point Barrow, Alaska, in the opinion of Major Thomas G. Lanphier, who will accompany the expedition as un official observer.
 The success or failure of the whole flight across Arctic seas will hinge up on the semi-eXperimental flight from Fairbanks, where the planes are now being assembled.
 If the test flight gives good results Major Lanphier believes a successful transoceanic trip will be presaged thereby.
 Any undertaking similar to this is more or less of a gamble" he declar. ed while in Seward, but I believe we will have good fortune"
 Four months leave of absence from Selfridge field, where he is in command of the First Pursuit Squadron, and permission to accompany Capt. Geo H. Wilkins, were granted Major Lan. phier by the war department.
 Though lacking official credentials, deputizing him to act specifically, Ma. jor Lanphier believes his position as an officer in the United States will automatically empower him to lay claim on behalf of his country to any land the expedition might discover. Oceangraphers and students of Arctic phenomena believe there is land in the vicinage of the North Pole, and tho it is not a primary purpose to search for land, it is intended that any To- cated shall be claimed for the United States.
 In the event that land is discovered, the first plane will continue it's flight to Spitzbergen, as planned, while the second one will embark from Point Barrow to explore the find.
 
 The winter maneuvers of the First Pursuit Squadron, of which Major Lanphier had charge and which were recently completed, were prolific of data and experience in the operation of planes in winter conditions. The effect of frigid weather on ignition and carburation was studied closely, and Major Lanphier thinks there is great likelihood Alaskan conditions will closely approach those under which his squadron operated in Michigan.
 Temperatures of ten and fifteen de grees below zero were reached fre- quently, especially at elevations of B. 900 feet and above. The taking-off and landing of planes on snow-covered fields and on the ice of rivers and lakes also were studied. This, Lan- phier believes, will also be of value in accompanying the Arctic flyers.
 Capt. Vincent Dixon, second in com mand, will be in charge at Selfridge during Lanphier's absence.

"In the automotive industry
records are made only to be

local Chandler distributor, yester-
day.
"The increasing Importance OF
the motor car in American business
and social life augurs well for the
continued growth of our remark
able industry" he continued.
1926 was a record year with over
1900, 900 cars and trucks produced.
OF the more than three and three
quarter million pleasure cars pro-
duced over 56 per cent were closed
models. Everyone now admits that
the preference for closed cars is
growing, and that 1926 figures viii
show an even bigger percentage.
"In our own production this fact
has become increasingly apparent.
We are now at point where closed
models run to more than SO per
cent of our entire production.
"The introduction of the new
1927 Chandler models during the
