The feat of flying nearly 6,000 miles in few days under such unfamiliar conditions seems to me tremendous achievement"
 MT. Loening said he believed Mac Milan acted wisely in calling off the flights when it became apparent that the lives of the men were being en- dangered. However, he does not agree with the explorers conclu- sion that the plane always will be useless in the Arctic He pointed out that the trouble was not with the Looming amphibians but with the weather.
 No Flight to Pole Expected.
 "No one ever thought seriously that the planes on the MacMillan ex- pedition would fly to the Pole," said MT. Looming. we simply wanted to find out what flying conditions were. From the reports of Commander Mac Milan and Lieut. Comdr. Richard Byrd, this particular machine has many advantages for Arctic flying, despite the statement of Colonel Mitchell that they were unfit because they were accepted first by the Army for flying in Panama.

DESIGNER SEES AIR CONQUEST
 OF THE ARCTIC
BUILDER OF MCMILLANS PLANES BELIEVES DIFFICULTIES
 BE OVERCOME.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13. Grover c. Looming, designer and builder of the three amphibian planes which Con- mander Donald B. MacMillan took to the Arctic on the airplane carrier Peary, said the difficulties encoun- tered north of Etah by the Navy flyers would be overcome in the course of the next few years. The flights, he said, suggested many changes in construction.
 Far from being failure,' said MT. Looming, ''the flights gave us more knowledge of actual flying con- ditions in the Far North than any other nation now has. The flights were not as spectacular as some oth- CTS, but they accomplished much.

TOMATO ONCE LUXURY.
Native Of South America Grew Into
Public Favor RAPIDLY.

Only In recent times, says the New
York Times. has tho tomato come into
universal favor. In the days of Sir
Walter Raleigh ana Sir Humphrey Gil
bert. when the peopling Of North
America was just beginning. the to-
mato was almost unknown in North
America and in Europe.
1t was originally Indigenous to
South America and may have origi.
mated In Peru or some other part Of
the Andean range favored with an ex-
cess OF humidity. Years passed before
the early colonists realized the plant
could be successfully cultivated in
these comparatively cold and dry lati.
tudes.
In England as late as the Victorian
era tomatoes were grown only in hot
houses. It took half a century for
English botanfsts to ascertain that, in
favorable Summer weather, the to.
mato would thrive out Of doors. Today
some Of the best tomatoes in England
are grown under glass, near Worth.
Ing, on the south coast, where thou.
sands Of dollars are paid every year
to insure the miles of glass necessary.
Some Of the choicest tomatoes are
now grown on the Island Of Madeira,
and for years the Canary Islands, par.
ticularly Tenerffe. with it's volcanic
soil, sent tons Of tomatoes to the Brit
ish market. The Channel Islands are
especially adapted to the growth of
tomatoes. not only providing supplies
for England, but sending their early
tomatoes to the United States.
The plant belongs to the same fam
lily as beladonna and was Mt one time
thought poisonous. 1t is a greedy con-
sumner Of water, as becomes a vege-
table originally grown in tropical hui
midity. Italy cultivates the tomato
both for table use and for oil obtained
from its seed.
