It is no secret that orders have
been out for sometime for remov-
al of the 25th Infantry to Fort D..
A. Russell, on account of the

the condition of the temporary

Making Touring
Attractive Aim Of
General Motors

General Motors in addition to fur
nishing transportation to hundreds of
thousands of tourists who dot the
country's arterial highways, is en-
gagged in work to make things pleas
ant comfortable along the roadside
for these same tourists.
Several thousand Delco-Light and
Frigidaire electric refrigerators, both
General Motors products, will go out
this season to country hotels, wayside
inns and tourist camps frequented by
American-on-wheels Several thous-
and places established for entertain
ment of the tourist will this season,
for the first time hav eadequate
lights, satisfactory refrigeration and
water under pressure.
With a Delco-Light farm light and
power system, the owner of coun-
try hotel or tourist camp is absolute
ly independent of power lines, for il
Elimination and electric power. With
a Frigiraire electric refrigerator in
mis- establishment he is able at all
times to provide his guests, not only
with fresh meat, eggs and other food
stuffs. but also with cold drinks
dainty frozen desserts and many
other delicacies to refresh the worn
and jaded tourist.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
Delco-Light plants now brighten the
night in isolated farm houses, rancho!
and other places in wide stretches
where the power line has not We
penetrated. They are providing run
ming water for thirsty stock and pow
er in abundance to run churns, wash
ing machines and other labor savini
devices for the housewife.
To this list has been added tn
most recent General Motors develop
ment, Frigidaire, thought by man
officials of the corporation to posses
potentialities far greater than any @
the wonderful line of motor cars pre-
duced by this great industrial fan
lily.

AMERICANS AT TOP OF THE WORLD

American achievement and ingenuity have
overshadowed the world, and now comes the
announcement that Lieutenant-C Commander
Richard <. Byrd has crossed the north pole in
an aeroplane, and is back safely at his base.
Kings Bay, Spitzbergen. The plane bearing
Lieutenant-Co Commander Byrd of Virginia. and
his pilot, Floyd Bennett, left Kings Bay at
midnight and fifteen and one-half hours later
the great monoplane was heard off Kings Bay,
giving evidence of the victorious achievement.
In the fifteen and one-half hours it travelled
approximately 1000 miles, averaging better
than 100 miles an hour.
When he returned to Kings Bay and the
announcement was made that the American
flag had been dropped over the side of his
plane as the craft sailed over the top of the
world a great demonstration was accorded
both Byrd and Bennett. Captain Amundsen
who was there with the airship Norge, which
few hours later flew over the north pole,
gave wonderful ovation.
There is something about American achieve
ment that thrills even the man of foreign
birth. He recognizes that American sports
manship is clean-cut, and that no undue ad-
vantages are ever taken in the great game of
chance. The American aviators were the first
to fly around the world, and now a Virginian
mas sailed over the top of the world in
American-made plane Again we say that
American ingenuity and achievement have
won. The achievement falls to the credit of
Lieutenant Commander Byrd and his pilot,
and the ingenuity to the inventor of the Fox
ker monoplane. However, there is honor
enough in this great achievement for all. The
