mander Byrd and his scientists hope
with the aid of airplanes, to wrest
secrets which will add to mems
knowledge of the globe upon which
they live.
Arrival of the ship on Christmas
day brought the explorers to the
scene Of their adventure In what is
mid summer at the bottom Of the
world" when milder temperatures
and less unfavorable weather offer
the most auSpiciouS conditions for
flying and scientific observation.
The first task which faced the party
was the landing Of their planes and
other equipment. This had to be
sent up to the top of the ice cliff for
establishment of base from which
air excursions and dog -sledge dashes
will be made towards the pole.
The base will assume the aspect oi
a village of portable houses and
workshops carried as part Of the ex-
petition. Storage for the tons ol
food and fuel and hangars for the
four planes in the air squadron Of the
expedition also must be provided at
the base.

'DURANT PURCHASED
GOLD BRICK SAYS
PROHIBITION BOSS
Prize Dry Law Essay Contest
Critics Say Mills Ideas
Arc old Stuff

Washington. Dec. 27.-(P)-In GER
tain quarters there is the feeling that
Major Chester p. Mills has receivd
$25 900 for suggestions already in op-
Grafton.
Major Mills, former prohibition ad-
ministrator of the New York district
won $25,0 900 prize offered by w. C.
Durant for the best plan of enforcing
the dry laws.
James M. Doran. prohibition CON-
missioner, said that he regarded
Mills proposals as merely an ex-
change of old stuff for new money.
Mills Plan In Force
.Durant has purchased gold
counsel for the Industrial Alcohol In
stitute, and Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Lowman said that Mills
plan was largely enforced 1t the
present time"
Maurice Campbell, successor to Ma
jor Mills as administrator Of the New
York district. said that the plan was
not new but was put into operation by
Lincoln G. Andrews, former assistant
secretary Of the treasury.
While no government official con-
nected with prohibition enforcement
praised Major Mills suggestions, not
all OF the comment was critical.
Real Contribution
DR.. Ernest II. Cherrington, general
secretary OF the World League Against
Alcohol, characterized 1t as a "'real
contribution" and Senator Capper or
Kansas said that taking the enforce
ment Of the Volstead act out of poll
tcs Is highly important" He added
that Mills was "dead right on that
point"
Major Mills In the plan that
brought him $4,000 said he would
eliminate independent denaturing
plants. and urged stricter supervision
of plants that hold permits for special
denatured alcohol and also a closer
scrutiny Of persons and concerns to
whom permits for denatured alcohol
were given. He also declared that
prohibition enforcement should be
taken out OF politics Major Mills
said that he left the prohibition serv-
ice because Of politics. Commissioner
Doran denied this.
