WASHINGTON. Nov, 20, (P)- Flying over rugged mountain peaks that ordinarily require weeks of weary travel by foot and pack train to Surmount them, three American geologists have recently returned from Alaska to relate how natures barriers to an unexplored section of the Alaska Mountain range were broken down by seaplane flights.
 WITH NO PROSPECTS
 of smooth landing fields after they should reach their rugged inland objective, the American scientists of the United States Geological Survey who set out to map and study one of Alaska's blind spots were forced to trust to a seaplane's ability to fly over rugged peaks ur- til some inland lake near their working base was reached.
 They took off from the harbor at Anchorage and in an hour and 2C minutes the piloc set the plare down on Chakathamna Lake-a distance inland from Anchorage that requires three weeks by pack train over treacherous country. Ee made four trips from Anchorage eo the mountain base, carrying the three scientists and 5000 pounds of supplies. The seaplane's flight made possible 93 days of exploration-the fullest span under existing climatic IconditionS in Alaska.
 THE SIX MEMBERS
 of the party included S. R. CappS, the chief; Gerald Fitz Gerald, topo- graphical engineer; w. E. Spur, re- corder, c. c. Tousley, packer; R. E. Francis, assistant packer, and Jim" Brown-whom Capps re- members as real cook.'
 "We found rivers, lakes and mountains that were not recorded on the best available maps, while many of those drawn on our maps were found to be none existent" ]" Capps said. "The tusN, an unusual granite formation on another river, was photographed and definitely chartod as we covered approXi- matcly 1000 square miles during the summers exploration"

The Indianapolis times., 1928-12-05

Last night this blind master of the
organ went to the Murat to hear
a master of singing tell a sermon
in Negro spirituals. And it seemed
to me last night that a great joy
and wonderfully sweet light was re-
flected in the face of the blind Or
ganist as Hayes sang right into the
hearts of the thousands present.
Something clutched my throat
when Mr.. Hansen's hands moved
as if they we're passing over the
keys and the controls of a great
pipe organ as Roland Hayes sang
his very soul into "The Water
Boy" Negro labor spiritual.
There were those near my seat
who shared in the wonderful sight
of seeing this grand blind man Of
the organ enjoy a great concert.
Mr.. Hansen could not sc" the singer
or the great audience. 1t was all
darkness to him but he did possess
great musical light.
And I am sure that both the
true artistry of Roland Hayes and
the glorious experience Of blind
man who loves great music will
not soon be forgotten.
You may think that this is a
very odd way to start review of a
concert but to me there was great
drama last night during the Hayes
concert, both on the part Of those
who could not see and those who
could.
And was thankful after the
concert, when the glory of Hayes
voice and his way of making ca
pacity audience respond to great
music, that there is no such thing
as musical darkness.
When that fact is apparent to
those who can see I think that 1
am justified in bringing the name
of Mr.. Hansen into my story OF
what happened last night.
We have a greater soul artist in
Roland Hayes today than we ever
have. I remember his first Indian
apolis concert some years ago when
he appeared at Caleb Mills hall
and the seat price was very small.
In that short space of time Hayes
has become such a commanding
spirit of song in spite of his color
that the Murat auditorium was not
large enough last night to hold a
The Indianapolis times., 1928-12-05

vast representative audience that
not only filled every seat, but occu-
pied the stage and even standing
room.
And there is every reason in the
world for this. There probably is
no singer on the concert stage to-
day who can enter more entirely
into the spirit of every song.
1t makes no difference whether
Hayes is singing die Post" and
"Wohin?" of Franz Schubert or the
Songs of Georgia" as composed by
Rachmaninoff, he catches the soul
of the song and brings it forth in
the richest possible voice, both in
the low and the high register.
I always get the feeling when
hearing Hayes that here is singer

Cascara is Your
Doctor Choice

When physicians pronounce cascara
the PERFECT laxative-why expert
ment with things that lash the sys-
TEN into action? Cascara, you
know, is the bark of a tree. A ma
tural and normal stimulus to the
bowels.
The Indians, who used to chew
this bark, had no word in their Ian
guage that meant constipation"
Perfect regularity is possible to-
day, and to all of us. We have cas-
cara in ideal form; the very delight
ful-tasting candy Cascaret gives us
pure cascara. 1t has helped at least
a million people to habitual regu-
larity. Millions of others, unfortu-
naCely, have stuck to stronger things
and acquired only the laxative habit.

who is not traitor to the composer.
He seems to catch the very spirit OF
the composition.
His sincerity is not a stage trick
He never poses. His voice was al
ways true last night and his tech
nique of creating the tone was per-
feet.
Hayes has completely combined
the two great qualities of an artist
of Song-the soul attitude and the
power to truly produce the tone.
He made dramatic melody poem
out Of Tyler's "Ships That Pass in
the Night" with words by Paul
Lawrence Dunbar.
To me, Hayes gets me nearer to
the soul of a song than any other
artist have heard.
1t would be tremendously unfair
If I did not call special attention to
the work of Percival Parham, Negro
pianist. If I recall correctly, Par
ham is making his first visit to this
! city with Hayes.
Here is a master of the piano, who
aids Hayes to catch the soul spirit
of song. Once the ovation extended
Parham was as great as that ac-
corded Hayes and the singer re-

pianist.

strate how THOROUGH this gentle
laxative is, after all. Your next
surprise will be the length of time
before you need another. Eventual
ly, you'll see that cascarizing tends
to make the bowels move thereafter

A modern drug store must stock
many laxatives, but for your own

lateral pass and agreed unanimous

football rules committee with the
recommendation that the play be
dropped and the passing game re-
vert TO the status Of 1926.
While unanimous against the lat
eral pass, sentiment was just as
strong In favor Of keeping the goal
posts back of the line, the opinion
being that setting them back 10
yards made no material difference.
Game officials were urged TO en-
force the rule covering the screened
pass, it being pointed out that
fragrant violations were now prac-
ticed. II was suggested that Off
Gals be authorized to inflict penal
ties for such violations.

TEX ALTERS
BATTLE PLAN
Eliminate Dempsey In
Effort to Select
Tunney Foe

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-(F1-The
heavyweight lance Of the would-be
champions proceeded today with one
of the principals sitting out a num-
Der.
From Los Angeles, yesterday, Jack
Dempsey served notice he would not
be in shape for q titular tiff until
next September, which is partially
caused by an injury to the right eye.
But he declared he would be in
condition by fall and he expects no
difficulty in coming to terms with
Tex Richard for a bout with the
ruling king Of the heavies.
Despite the temporary absence of
the Manassas Mauler from the ring,
Richards revised elimination series
goes on as scheduled, John NJ. Chap
man, Richards assistant at Madison
Square Garden, announced.
Chapman said he talked with
Richard by telephone, receiving
word from the promoter at Miami
Beach that the survivor of the ap-
preaching eliminations would stack
up against Champion Gene Tunney
in June.
The principals Of this series are
Jack Delaney and Tom Heeney, who
tussle on March ! and Jack Sharkey
and Johnny Risko, who battle on
March IL. Now that Dempsey has
declared he will not box until next
September, the winner Of the east
ern tournament will be sure to fight
Tunney, Chapman said.
Previously Richard had mentioned
that he might pit the elimination
winner against Dempsey in the event
there were indications further elm
mating would be desirable before
arriving at the championship affair.
The victors CT the two March
bouts will be matched into the final
of the elimination events to take
| place in Madison Square Garden
some time in April. All of the
bouts will be over the 15-round
| distance.
