many things that must be accom-
plished have made this impossible.
Commander Byrd has decided that no
less than a year of forethought and
attention to minute detail will be nee
essary to reduce the hazards Of the
trip.
The general plan is to sail first to
New Zealand and from there to strike
out for the ice pack on the border Of
Ross sea. After penetrating this ice
barrier he will set up his permanent
base near Discovery harbor, where he
will build his houses, assemble his
plane and make number of test
flights. Two planes will be taken, one
large three-motor ship, capable Of
lifting $4,000 pounds and the other
small single-motor plane. Commander
Byrd will load the smaller plane with
six months supplies of food and spare
cans of oil and gasoline and fly 100
miles toward the South pole. If he
finds conditions favorable he will
land, set up base, take observations
and return to the home base for a Sec
ond load. Then by series of short
flights he will set down line of emer-
gency bases to within 400 or 500 miles
Of the pole. From the last of these he
will make the long flight to his goal,
land if possible, and then return. If
the trip to the pole is successful and
winter has not closed in, Byrd will
oil GO 10 70 hn ocf
southwest somewhere at the foot of
the great plateau. He will also skirt
the coastline, flying over thousands
and thousands of square miles never
before seen by man. If all of his plans
are successful for the first time in
history, the great Antarctic continent
will at last be charted and mapped.
Although the exploring will be done
mainly by the two planes, it is inter-
esting to note that equipment SIM
liar to that of previous explorers will
also be taken along. On his polar
flight Commander Byrd will carry a
sled, pemmican to last many months,
sleeping bags, oil burners, skis and
snowshoes, so that if he is forced to
land and abandon the plane he will
be able to trek back over the plateau
to the home base. 1t is for this rea-
son also that the food supplies will
be planted along the route to the pole.
And these are only few of the in
Vulnerable details which must be
thought of before the expedition sets
out. In this polar expedition, perhaps
the most important of modern times,
the margin between success and fail
ure will be very small. Nothing will
be left to chance and if adequate
preparation for every possible con-
tingency counts for anything the ex-
petition should be successful and
Commander Byrd, the first to reach
the North pole by air, will also be
the first to carry the Stars and Stripes
to the other end of the earth.

pole within the next two years. Not
the least of the interest in this latest
project of the gallant Virginian is its
significance as connecting link be-
tween Antarctic and Arctic explora-
ton. The first man to reach the
South pole was Roald Amundsen, the
Norwegian explorer, who achieved the
goal in 1911. Last year Mr.. Amund
sen was in the party which flew
dirigible to the North pole soon after
Commander Byrd had made his epic
dash there by airplane. Now Com
mander Byrd is going into the regions
where Amundsen won his fame-sort
of repaying the visit, as it were.
But Commander Byrd's project is
to be more than just a dash to the
South pole so that he can say that
he has flown "to the uttermost ends
of the EARTH" both North and South.
1t is to be a scientific expedition
which is expected to open an I'M
known continent, twice the size of
the United States, to the knowledge
of mankind. The two explorers,
Amundsen and Scott, who did reach
the Pole found only a lifeless plain
there. Several other explorers have
skirted along the edge of the great
ice fields which surround the Ant
arctic continent and one or two Of
them have penetrated it for some dis
lance, only to lose their ships or to
be frozen in for an Antarctic winter.
So that today this great plateau,
which has an altitude of 10000 feet is
the modern unknown continent" and
by crossing it from coast to coast in
two directions, by visiting it's center
and its four corners Commander Byrd
hopes to discover some Of it's secrets.
Especially does he hope to reveal
the fact that there is on this con-
tinent forms Of animal and plant life
hitherto unknown to man, and if
he is successful it is likely that the
penguin, so well known to all ex-
pforers in this region, will no longer
be the symbol of the Antarctic, just
as the polar bear is the symbol of the
Arctic. II feel certain that some
where in that vast area there are wide

Royal Wife Rebuked
bv Prince Consort

Albert, prince consort of Queen Vic
toria, filled a difficult, thankless of
flee with tact and success, but was
misunderstood and disliked by Eng
lishmen Of his generation almost with
out exception, according to writer
in the Kansas City Star. Brought
from an Insignificant German town
and comparative poverty, at the age
of twenty he found himself king in
all but name of the most powerful
country land welded to a very trying
wife.
In public the queen displayed adora-
ton and sentimental solicitude for
him, in private she was petulant and
exacting. But he bore his trials pa
tiently and once in a while gave his
wife quiet and effective lesson. One
evening while he was dining with the
council of the Royal academy a mes
senger arrived from Victoria saying
that she desired his presence at Buck
ingham palace. The prince merely
nodded. Half an hour later a second
messenger said the queen was wait
ing and required the prince to return
at once. Again he merely nodded. In
another thirty minutes arrived a per-
emptory order: 1.-THE queen commands
your royal highness' immediate re-
turn Cool and phlegmatic as ever,
even under this final humiliation, the
prince again dismissed the messenger
with nod. He remained with his
hosts Of the evening and, sleeping
elsewhere, did not return to the pal
ace that night.

low temperatures do not exist, and be-
lieve that if we are successful in find
ing such an area we will find a COM
pletely new form of animal life" said
Commander Byrd recently. $50 far
the discovery of animal life in the
Antarctic has been confined to birds,
fish, seals and a few species Of micro
scopic organisms. Inland, where the
great plateaus stretch out to the pole,
there is nothing. The temperature,
which even in summer gets down to
80 or 40 degrees below zero and which
sinks far below that in winter, is too
extreme for animal life of any sort.
Because Of the extreme tempera-
lures which Commander Byrd men
lions, as well as several other factors
characteristic of that region, Ant
arctic exploration is even more per-
ilous than Arctic. Among these other
factors are the billiards of high
velocity which sweep down from the
plateau and these winds, laden with
snow and fine particles of ice, often
reach a speed of 70 miles an hour. It
was in one Of these billiards that the
gallant Capt. Robert f. Scott lost his
life in that tragic retreat from the
South pole in 1912 when he persisted
only eleven miles from his base and
safety. The Antarctic has special
perils for the aviator-explorer because
the wind conditions there are further
complicated by numerous mountain
ranges and lofty peaks, some of them
as high as $1,000 feet, and two of
them active volcanoes.
In view of the perilous nature of
this expedition, Commander Byrd is
taking unusual precautions and max
ing the most careful preparations be-
fore setting out. 1t was first an
