I move a three-ton boulder Is feet YER
tically and 100 feet horizontally?" most

What foolish question. My answer
was: Why move the rock?"

Landing gear aud skis have been
very satisfactory. They have withstood
tremendous shocks. Two types have
been used so far, one with the skis
fitted on an ordinary landing gear in
the place OF wheels and the other hav-
ing a special landing gear permitting
only an up-and-down motion With no
side movement
The latter type is believed to be the
ideal type for hard use on such rough
surfaces as are encountered here, al
though there were no signs Of failure in
the other kind. But any one who has
gone bounding and crashing across the
hummocks in take-off realizes the
necessity for reducing the chance OF
failure as much as possible.
In the ordinary type of landing
gear, with a movable strut hinged to
lower longeron, there is an outward
movement of the skis when landing
or bouncing on take-of and II
ridge hits a side ski at such time
something is apt to give unless the
whole plane skids to the other side.
Lessons Of Experience.
Experience has shown that all motion
in the. joints near the fuselage should
be eliminated. that all fulcrum action
should be at the point where stress Is
applied, in other words near the skis.
That is why, for work on snow, q land
ing gear permitting only up-and-down
motion, with not more than an inch OF
side. motion, is believed to be best.
The landing gear should also be wider
than for use with wheels. Value OF
this was shown when Conndr. Byrd and
Dean Smith took of on very rough
field the day they few to the rescue
of the mountain party. With narrower
landing gear they would probably have
cracked up. These same conditions
make constant inspection necessary.
The experience with the Fokker at
the mountains has convinced Comdr.

OPPOSESDOGWOOD

to Save Flower From
Destruction.

Charles H. Walleigh, superintendent
of Center Market where a great many
shrubs and flowers are brought in from
the surrounding country, is much OPP
posed to selling of Towering dogwood
at the market.
Mr.. Walleigh made this plain today
when he came out Fundamentally In
favor of the campaign being waged by
the National Capital committee Of the
Garden Club of America and the Wild
Flower Preservation Society to save the
dogwood for destruction.
For years Mr.. Walleigh has taken
the position that the native flowers and
shrubs which are in danger of exter-
mination should not be stripped and
sold in the public markets. He placed
the Center Market behind the cam
paign last year also, and, so far as was
known, not a stick of dogwood was
sold there.
Up to the present time, Mr.. Wal
leigh believes, no dogwood has been
on sale at Center Market, and he In
tends that none shall be sold. Signs
asking persons to leave the dogwood for
others to enjoy are posted at the mar

ships, should have folding wings. That
plane might have been saved II the
wings could have been folded, so as to
eliminate lift. The best quality of the
plane, its high lift, was what wrecked 1t.
Flying has been very much the same
here as at home, with the exception
that 90 per cent has been by ir1stru-
ments and half the landings are power
stall landings, due to inability to tell
whether the plane was ! foot or so
above ground.
The instruments have worked well,
although the air speed indicator has
filled with drift snow while a plane
was on the ground and has had to be
cleaned out before leaving.
There Is also need for better visibility
ins planes, and some Of the pilots are
inclined to believe that an open cockpit
for the pilot would add to the safety in
landing under unusual light conditions.
An adjustable pneumatic shock alb.
sorber, IL 1t would work in this climate,
which could be adjusted for various
loads, might help in getting OF the
ground and In landing smoothly.
But on the whole the planes have
been unusually successful and much
has been learned that will aid in evolv-
ing the ideal plane for Antarctic work.
