WILKINS PRAISES
SKILL OF E|ELSON.
Tells of Remarkable Feat in
Landing Safely on Ice
Patch in the Dark.
BY A. n. SMITH.
BY Radio TO The Star and Sortn American
Newspaper Alliance.

Newspaper Alliance.
POINT BARROW, Alaska, April
23.-Capt George Hubert wilkins and
Ben Eielson arrived here at els this
afternoon with Alger Graham in
the Detroit News No. 2. Graham
went directly to Beechy Point from
Fairbanks, leaving his native guide
there and bringing wilkins and Eiel.
son on to Barrow.
Both men are looking well, except
that they are sunburned. wilkins
says that Eielsou landed on a &snall
patch of smooth ice in the dark and
that only his miraculous skill saved
both men from being killed.
Eielson swung the plane around and
brought it to q stop within few feet
of an ice ridge, but in executing this
maneuver, both landing skis were
badly broken.
wilkins says that it may be possible
to save the plane provided it has not
drifted too far from the position on
the ice where 1t wa9 left April 3. lie
has not vet decided whether ne Will
attempt to salvage it.
Eielson's fingers are recovering,
but wilkins does not think it likely
that Fielsons hand will be in condi'
tion to allow another trip on the ice
with a possibility of walking back.
Eielson said that wilkins is a mar
vel on the trail Il never saw his
equal the pilot said. wilkins can
travel further with a pack than any
man l ever saw. My pack was
smaller than wilkins but he could
kill me walking any time.
when Wilkins fell into the water
his chances were not worth nickle.
He had to take his clothes off. Roll
in the snow to keep from freezing
and get dry socks on. with his other
garments still wet. Only quick work
and wilkins knowledge of what &c
do saved him"

labor for Miss Ethelwyn I. Hine, the
champion of Central High School, and
her Grafton is expected TO reflect her
hard work. With the exception of
the Constitution Club dance at the
Carlton Hotel. Easter Monday night,
Ethelwyn has sought no entertain
ment. She has devoted all her spare
time, she said yesterday, TO the thor
ough study of her speech so that as
she delivers it in the regional finals,
she can devote practically all her at
tention to the mechanics of delivery
rather than to its verbal content.
Il am trying my best" she eX-
planned, Ito make each delivery of
my Grafton sound as though | was
speaking 1t for the first time and only
complete familiarity with the compo-
sition can give me that"
Time was a rather serious menace
to Ethelwyn, as her speech in its
early stages was a little long to be
delivered. without hurrying, within
the allowed 10 minutes. And so she
has had to trim it little bit; hence
the Easter vacation gave her admira-
BILE opportunity to accquaint herself
with her oration in it's briefer form.
Boys more capable orators than
girls? Girls more capable orators
than boys? That's all nonsense, Ethel
wyn says.
OratOry Matter of Voice"
TITS all a matter of voice anyway,
and il in previous contests boys have
been the more frequent winners ii
is merely because they have had the
voice to carry what they have to say
think / happen to have q. strong
voice, and so / don't see why boys
should be any stronger opposition for
me than any other girl who has the
same type of voice / have"
BY way of contrast, Alvin Graves,
EaStern's champion combined busi-
ness and pleasure and oratory during
the 10 days of freedom. He said yes
terday that his Grafton has been with
in the 10.minute period ever since
he delivered it for the first time, so
that he has nothing to worry about
from that quarter.
He has refrained from attempting
too many deliveries of the speech,
also because he fears he will ''go
stale" as he explained it to the re-
porter.
You see, feel that / have done
just about all / can do to my oration,"
Alvin explained, 'and SO now / am
trying to take little rest from it so
that it will be fresher when / need it
in the next contest. But / repeat it
over to myself every once in awhile
so as to keep ii firm in my memory
and SO I'll have as thorough an ac-
quaintance with it as possible"
Alvin is loyal to the 'men" He
says that boys are stronger orators
than girls and that from them he'll
get the most fight. AS proof of the
truth Of that conviction, he cites the
victories that boys have won in each
OF the national contests.

Sees Gomez as Hero and Friend.
This cordial reception shows me
once more that there does exist 4
powerful American spiritual unity.
Cuba, like her sister republics at the
beginning of the last century, re-
ceived substantial evidence of this
unity in her struggle for redemption,
when from the neighboring island of
Santo Domingo there came to us the
general in chief of our army, the
eyer-to.be-forgotten Maximo Gomez,
| one of the most noble figures of un-
selfish soldier and valiant hero, who
| embodied on Cuban soilthe courage
| of his compatriot, the Indian Hatuey,
and came to our home to die for the
! freedom of Cuba and for the glory
| of his race. There came to us also,
| from every country from Chile and
| Argentina to Mexico, Il legion Of vol
unteers, ready to face death, repre-
| senting nations that have the same
| Spanish and Latin origin.
This reception awakens in my
! spirit, too, a feeling of boundless
sympathy and gratitude toward this
great Nation, a feeling which was
| kindled in our bosoms the day we
! learned that strong army was COM

vile & Exeter train holds a rec
ord for never yet having failed to
reach its destination when once
started, and it almost invariably
starts.
Once arrived at Exeter there is
little question about getting back
to Cassville, that is, providing
that the brakes hold. For the sta
ton at Exeter is exactly 1876 feet
higher than the station at Glass;
Vile, which resolves the return
trip into a question of brakes.
Once daily the Cassville &c

passenger coach is uncoupled at
Exeter and "Old 90" the locomo-
tive, more affectionately known as
Mary Ann is put to escorting
freight gondolas down the line,
while the petite passenger bearer
returns 10 Cassville all of its own
accord, thanks to gravity and a
strong-hearted brakeman.
Other than Mary Ann and the
passenger coach the Cassville &c

Freight airs are borrowed from

by DOME Bush.
1t has been a tough race in that
league and the four fighting Irish
managers, McGraw of the Giants,
Bob O'Farrell of the Cardinals,
Joe Mccarthy Of the Cubs and
Bush OF the Pirates, are those
who helped most to make it so.
Four teams coming down the
home stretch only a few games
apart! Since the opening of the
season these four men have made
the baseball battle of 1927 one
never to be forgotten. And they've
been telling us the last couple of
years that the Irish race was dy-
ing out in the big leagues!
Bush, manager of the Pirates,
has a nice little margin now, but
has had a tough time in getting up
there. Like McGraw, Bush is ag-
gressive and fights to the last
ditch, making amy number of
changes of position at the slight
est sign of weakness.

as the shortest individually.
owned steam-operated line in the
United States, the president and
the locomotive engineer talk and
think alike and wear the. same
brand of ~overalls. In fact they
can hardly help it, because they
happen to be one and the same
person.
On the Cassville & Exeter,
which is four and ~nine-tenths
miles long. both freight and pas
senger service are maintained.
Trains never smash into one an
other. There's only one. And
even if the Cassville & Exeter is a
Tom Thumb in respect to length,
it's as wide as any of them.
No Labor Trouble
On this railroad there are no
strikes, no labor trouble of any
sort. There has not been a single
change in the personnel of the
line since Dave Dingler, half own
err resident, general manager
,comotive engineer, took
cna.. eight years ago.
lave Dingler favors democracy,
For 40 years now he has rail-
roaded in the capacities of section
hand, shop. assistant, fireman, To-
connective engineer, and now, al
though he is 60 and president of
a railroad, he still stays with the
cab. And he is bothered neither
with high blood pressure nor a
giblet-gravy complexion
DiDgler and James c. Ault own
every dollar of the railroads
stock on a ffty-ffty basis. MI.
Ault, a former banker, is secre-
tary and recorder of the line.
Mrs. Dave Dingler is vice presi-
dent of the line, while Mrs. James
Ault is treasurer. But the fairer
two Of the o!.5cehoiders function
more in theory than in fact. Es-
sentially they are housewives, and
they a"ree that as for themselves,
pressing is more pressing than

Right ON Time
The train schedule OF the Cass-
willie q Lxlter is surprisingly
punctual. Two round trips are
made daily over the span OF track
which runs from Cassville, county
seat Of Barry county, Missouri, to
Exeter, Mo, where it connects with
the main line of the st. Louis Il
San Francisco railway.
Dave Dingler and his railroad
ers provide their patrons 12-hour
freight service and punctual pas
