SAYS EXPLORATION
 IS A MANS JOB
Women Don't Like It, Lieutenant Commander Byrd Declares, in
 Interview on Expeditions,

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 16 R = Women don't like exploration-it's a mans job, Lieutenant Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd declared in an interview here last night.
 "The women don't mind taking chances" Commander Byrd said, but they dread the cold and ice. When I went to the arctic only four or five women wanted to go. When l proposed to span the At lantic 20 women for one man want co to take the risk"
 Commander Byrd characterized the Antarctic as the Hast great challenge both to man and avia- tion." -fourths of the area of unexplored land twice the size of the United States, has never beeli seen by a human, he said.
 My eyes are on the future," Commander Byrd declared in dis cussing his proposed Antarctic flight. T plan to leave in Septem- Der and proceed to New Zealand. Then I shall go to the great ice barrier, 2,o00 miles away with a party of 50 men aboard an oil burning steamer.
 We shall establish little city in the ice and maintain liaison through the radio. Three planes will be used in the flight to the pole.
 "Our trip shall be purely scien- tifc. The flag of the United States has never been connected with any major Antarctic exploration and that is another reason"

 Kotex is utterly different from all other sanitary pads. There is no other like" Kotex.
 Kotex is the one and only sani- tary pad filled with the super-absor- bent CeHucofton wadding.
 Thus KoteX has the amazing power of absorbing 16 times its own weight in moisture! Thus Kotex has 5 times the absorbencV of the ordinary cotton-hlled pad! Think what this means in protec- tion.
 Because of these exclusive fea- lures Kotex has changed the hy- gienic habits of the world. It has made sheerest frocks safe under the most trying hygienic handicap women know. Eight in ten better class women of America have adopted Kotex-for health s sake and for peace-of-mind.
