ON two previous Arctic explorations
wilkins expects to chart the upper ali
currents and. take soundings OF the
Arctic Ocean. He hopes to find the
tabled lost continent which most Arc
tic explorers have reported sighting. but
which has never been reached.
!, wilkins planned to radio his take
off and report the progress OF his flight
with a AL l-meter radio set. During his
l7-day stay at Barrow the explorer has
had much difficulty communicating with
the outside because of his unfamiliarity
with radio, motor generator trouble ano
frequent interference of amateur sta
tons sending on his wave length.
For these reasons 1t was admittedly
conceivable that word of his take -off
might not be received until the slow
Arctic communications systems carry
out the word. News from Barrow
under favorable conditions, will reach
the outside In about month.

The House CT Bishops yesterday con-
sidered at length a report of the COM
mittee on PRAYER book dealing with thu
office of a deaconess. The present
canon reads: Her office shall be
vacated by marriage" The amendment
which wes adopted, reads: "A deacones5
who marries shall not continue to ex-
ercise her Office
This involves an important technical
distinction. it was pointed out, since
the original reading infers that orders
can be nullified once they have been
conferred while the doctrine of the
church holds that they are perpetual.
Bishop Mcdowell of Alabama, report
