NEW BEACON LIGHT GAN
 PIERCE MIST, CLOUDS

BERLIN, April 9.R)-A new bea- con light. which is described as wis ible through mist and clouds and is easily distinguished from street lamps, is now in wide use in Germany to mary flying fields.
 While the new light, known as the Neon" tube, is used chiefly for mark ing boundaries and obstacles, a report says it also has enough power to aid in Illuminating the fields and con- sumes very little electricity, an ad- vantage of particular value in the marking out of flying path along which the lights are left burning all night.

CAPT. WILKINS AND [. BEN E|ELSOV
 BELIEVED LOST.
PICKS UP MESSAGE SAYING EXPLORERS NOT RE-
 PORTED FOR THREE DAYS

A wireless message, believed to be from the Wilkins base at Point Bar
 row, and picked up by an amateur set says that Captain George H. Wilkins and E. Ben Eielson, pilot of the plane
 Detroit News No. 1 hopped off from Barrow three days ago and had not
 reported back to the base either in
 person or by radio
 If the message is correct, it means that the explorers of the Blind Spot" of the polar regions have been forced down and their radio apparatus it not functioning so that they may in- form Point Barrow of their plight.
 While passing through Seward en route on his perilous and daring ad. venture Captain Wilkins told the Gateway that he had arranged with his base that, as soon as he passed out of sight into the unknown land of the north he would begin signalling by wireless. The instrument used for receiving by Howard Mason, radio man of the party, who remained at the Point Barrow base, was so ar ranged that current could be generated by hand. It was equipped with disc which, when influenced by mes sage in receipt would signal OK" The instrument used on the plane was similarly equipped. By reversing the disc on the sending instrument it | would reverse the "OK' into "KO." I This latter signal was to be interpret 1 ed as signalling trouble. Other sig nals, such as position of the exploring plane were to follow.
 | It was understood that in the event of the Point Barrow base failing to re- ceive tidings of the explorers within two days, they were to be considered either lost or having been forced to the ice. In this event they proposed to undertake Journey overland to Siberia if nearest that shore, or l back to the northern Alaskan coast. | In preparation for this eventuality, Wilkins and Eielson were equipped with 'canned fire" guns, ammunition, concentrated food, etc., together with collapsible rubber boat weighing only four pounds, but capable of sus- | taining hte weight of five men. This was to be used in the event of open leads being encountered while cross ing the ice to the mainland.
 The explorers expected to augment their food supply with game shot upon the ice.
 Owing to the unsettled weather, in- cluding bhzzards, which has prevailed for the past eigh days or more, it is feared the explorers were caught un- awares. HN
 However, it is plausible to believe that those remaining at the Point Bar row base would have sent wireless to Detroit if there was apprehension for the safety of the explorers, or pos sibly they hoped communication was only temporarily interrupted, or that the Detroit News No. 1 had landed on the ice to weather blizzard, and would report, a thing altogether like ly in view of weather conditions in the Arctic.
 Again, the radio man at Point Bar row might have been trying to get a message out to Detroit announcing the non return of the explorers.

Danger in Bullfghting

The bullfight Is very dangerous
fighting game, according to the best
authorities. The star of the perform
ance is the matador, who kills the
bull alone. Authorities give US facts
to prove that many matadors are
killed, and all are wounded at some
time of their careers. The risks they
take are marvellous. They sit on chairs
before charging bulls, and at the last
moment spring from the chair and the
Dul carries the chair away on his
horns. They rest their elbows on the
head of the bull. The matador some
lines attempts to leap over the Dull
with the aid of long pole, but many
miscalculations are made, which END
In disaster. There are even rare oc-
casions when large bull will leap
out of the ring and gain the seats oc-
cupied by the spectators. The mata-
dor, in killing the bull, stands per-
fectiy still and lets the bull rush on
his sword, the bull often taking the
matador up in his horns and throw
ing him into the air. Many times the
matador is caught up against the
wooden inner ring and gored to death.

Spleen i'm Nature of
Stoyehouse for Blood

For long time the spleen was as
sociated with an irritable temper. To
day we hardly believe that. What we
do know is that ii is muscular bag
lying on the left side of the body,
near the upper end of the stomach,
and that it sometimes engorges with
blood. and swells. But the blood,
strange to say, is not ordinary blood.
The spleen seems TO be sieve, and
sifts the blood so that only one GER
tain kind of red corpuscles can get
through. These corpuscles, which are
thought TO be the ones that have been
in the body the longest time, appear
In many cases to die in the spleen,
so that the organ has the reputation
of being cemetery for red corpuscles.
The spleen is not selfish, however
when the body needs blood the spleen
empties itself. This is the case when
exercise is taken or when there is slow
poisoning by coal gas or loss of blood
by hemorrhage, says Bancroft. But
when much blood is in circulation, as
when there Is undue strain on the
heart, the spleen dilates and blood Is
withdrawn.

Old Rag Dolls More
Durable Than Pretty

In many of the early New England
homes rag dolls were treasured heir
looms. They were of all sizes, and at
tired In all sorts of quaint costumes.
The only points in common were that
their faces were invariably fiat, their
hands stiff and rigid and their toes
turned out in a 'west-footed'' manner.
Sometimes they had black buttons
for eyes, but more frequently their
faces were painted with beet and fruit
juices. However, their eyes, noses
and mouths. were sometimes embro1d-
cred. For hair they had toupees OF
yarn or hemp or small punches of
real hair. Their clothing was usually
of the full-skirted variety and they
sometimes wore sunbonnets or the
same material as their dresses. One
doll of this type is said to have pleased
the daughters of one New Hamp-
shire family for more than eighty
years, and is still in use. Of course
it is a little worse for wear, but 1t

Keep Yotr Foot On The Clutch

BY Erwin Greer, president of
Greer college of automotive and
electrical trades. Chicago. ILL.,:
Keep your foot on the clutch de-
spite what experts tell you to the
contrary. If the traffic is great.
keep your foot on the clutch. Don't
take unnecessary chances on the
highway or in the street; glide over
the bumps thus saving your ma
chinery, and don't forget your
brake. Caution is the first law of
good sense, when it has to do with
40 h. p. Approaching an intersec-
ton, remember the clutch and
brake.
Youths make daring drivers.
They so rapidly and easily, with
fearless abandon and nonchalance
But they have an undue share of ac-
cidents because they do not think
enough of clutch and brake. oh,
Fyes! there are disasters through con-
fusion and through timidity; but
they are not the disasters of the
young driver Nine-tenths of the
wrecks come from driving too fast.
A good driver will keep control
of his machine at all times. He can
stop quickly, but without shock.
He can go slow as he must when
others might be endangered by his
fast driving, but can step on the gas
to leap ahead when there is oppor-
tunity. The person who controls
his power all the time is the one
who has opportunities. which in the
heavy traffic of life are feeting and
momentary The man who haa
learned is the one that knows and
the one that knows is the one that
has opportunities. When one is in
no position to take an advantage il
is not an opportunity for him.
Therefore the disciplining of the
mental powers is the putting of
hand and foot or the various con-
trolls of life.
Many lives are lost by even
momentary loss of control. It IS
quite the custom to blame some
other driver. 1t is possible for an
automobile to be wrecked by the
carelessness of some other man
than the one driving it, and for
life to be ruined by the fault of an
other; but it is exceedingly rare.
When such calamity occurs it is
to one who has lost control of his
machine, if not for a moment
Keep your foot on the clutch.
