Health can be earned
Says one of the healthiest men
 in the world

EvEN perfect physical specimen IL like Gene Tunney doesn't just take health for granted. He has worked hard, unceasingly, to build himself up and keep in condition. Realizing the importance of regular habits, he takes no chances.
 He doesn { trust to exercise and diet alone to keep his system funotioning perfectly. He makes ab5oIatel, sure by taking Nujol regularly-whether he is in active training or not.
 I started taking Nujol internally seven years ago. The first month Nujol brought remarkable changes in my physical condition. My elimi- nation became active and normal. My appetite increased and a desire for intensive training was created. Since that time I have taken Nujol about five nights a week. I have regulated myself to the amount neces- sary to keep my elimination normal. If 1 discover that l have taken an excess I stop its use for couple of days, when renew my daily practice of taking swallow from the bottle before retiring.

MAGNETIC C0NPAS
 PROVES DANGEROUS
Byrd Expedition Faced With Bad
 Flying Hazard

New York. March B Dp-Ot all the flying hazards that the Antarctic opposes 10 the Byrd expedition, one of the most uncertain is the inter ference with navigation by magnetic compass caused by the south mag netic pole, that lies near the base camp.
 If this pole were a point on the earthss surface the problem Of flnd- ing direction by the magnetic com pass would be relatively simple. But at the magnetic pole, the lines Of force actuating the needle dive straight downward into the earth. Owing 70 this downward pull in the region of the magnetic pole, says statement Of the American Geo. graphical society Of New York, the lines lose much Of their effective- ness to influence the needle. The needle works only in a horizontal plane.
 Commander Byrd carries a new navigation chart. compiled by the society. that shows the position Of the south magnetic pole and the sharply curving lines of equal mag netic variation, also called lines of force, that enclose his camp, as if it were about half way out from the center of a huge spider web.
 The center of the web is the south magnetic pole, lying near the outer edge Of the Antarctic continent, west of Byrd's base, and somewhat 10 the north. The lines forming the inVi- sible web sweep out in long circles, that recurve about the south pole. Byrd's expedition is to one side Of I line drawn between the two poles.
 A navigator who knows which line he is on at the moment Of taking an observation, can find true south by adding a certain number of degrees to the needle direction. This number varies with each line and the lines are not for apart.
 Byrd's base is close to the 200 degree line, requiring 260 degrees to be counted around the face of the compass, clockwise from the direction in which the needle points.
