ECONOMIC POSSIBILITIES OF SOUTHERN REGION IS
 SEEN BY U. s.

SYDNEY, Australia, June q. P) The United States claims to the Antarctic regions has dictated the growing belief that Antarctic economic possibilities are remarka- bly demonstrated by the financial of the numerous Norwegian expeditions
 Sir Douglas Mason, who was chosen by the. government to head the Australian expedition to Antarctica swept away the il- fusion of going merely in search of scientific honors or glory when he said the "Antarctica is not a useless stretch of ice. It is like Alaska from which the Americans already have taken SOOOO,OOO pounds of gold"
 Sir Mason said that the sud- den interest in the country sug- gests some authorative informa- tion regarding it's economic value has been received since iron, copper and such metals are of vital importance and likely to the future interest in Anarctica which is now the center of an economic rather than a scienti- fic aspect. Sir Mason is regarded as knowing more about the re- zion than has been written; this, explaining the United States and the British interest in the ex- ploration of the region.

Albert Buschko, the latest knight of self
service air travel, has learned to his sorrow
that there were to be no shouts of the admiring
populace for him. Imprisoned in the reserve
control room of the big Graf Zeppelin, the
bakers apprentice who had made his way from
Dusseldorf to Friedrichshafen, secreted himself
in the mammoth hangar and slid down rope
into ventilator of the dirigible, had plenty
of time to realize the seriousness of his

Clarence Terhune, .the st. Louis boy who

the attention IF the Navigators and
Lazvmakery the W0rld Deer.

THE flip of a coin sent Arthur Schneider into
the adventure that carried him across the
Atlantic as stowaway on the Yellow Bird.
1t will be remembered that the Yellow Bird,
flown oy three French flyers, was forced down
in Spain and obliged to make another hop to
its destination, Paris French aviation authori-
ties declared that the presence of the lad so
upset the balance of the plane that it became
necessary for the flyers to dump a certain
amount of gasoline during one of the storm
periods, procedure which cost the flyers the
satisfaction of a perfect trip
The French aviators were extremely gen.
erouS in their treatment of the stowaway, in
spite of the severe disappointment for which
his presence was responsible. Schneider was
written up in the Spanish papers as Chico
Yankey" (cute Yankee youngster), applauded
wherever he went and shared in the entertain
ment accorded the flyers
But the "third-time" air Stowaway role did
not have such happy ending The public,
which for so long has looked upon the adven-
lures of stowaways in the light of romance
and heroism, is beginning to shake its head in
disapproval of air Migrants. 1t is all right If
one wants to risk his own life for the sake of
adventure, but risking the lives of others-that
is another thing. Public opinion upheld Dr.
Eckener in his recent attitude toward air
StowaWayS
THE life of any stowaway is fraught with
danger. When they embark on secret
journey, wedged in strange hooks and crannies,
these vagabond adventures face starvation,
danger and deportation. Every once in while
one reads of a stowaway tragedy.
Last August six men locked in japanese
freighter from Seattle to Yokohama died Of
starvation.
Recently liner came into harbor with a
stowaway pinned against the smokestack below
decks, burned to death by the heat of the
giant pipes. Three other stowaways were
routed out from hiding places below decks, all
on the verge of exhaustion from lack of food
and water.
In Summer the fate of stowaway is less
hazardous. Lifeboats offer a cool and COM
paratively easy place of concealment with a
chance to promenade the decks at night. But
in Winter, when bitter gales sweep the SEAS the
hiding places below deck are fraught with
great danger.
The picture of giant liner blowing her way
toward New York. brilliantly lighted and with
orchestra playing while far below in her hold
a stowaway is fighting for his life, perhaps
caught in shifting mass of cargo or thrown
against scalding pipes, is tragic one
Recently on the S. S. Cleveland a man was
found crushed to death inside crate

Mary Ellen Worse, daughter of Mary HeatW
Vorse the author, to ship aboard the Deutsch-
land as stowaway. Her fiance was sailing On
that vessel, and the marriage on shipboard
added eliminating touch of romance to the
adventure.
The lure of America is a powerful one. At
least it seems to be, judging from the fact that
three times as many stowaways embark for
American ports as those of any other country.
An inquiry at the statistical department Of
the United States Bureau of immigration dis
closed that in the fiscal year of 1928 there were
about 1000 exact number not yet computed)
stowaways found on vessels arriving at ports OF
the United States. This is quite an increase
over the figures of 1870 which showed 474
stowaways but a decided decrease compared
with 1921 with its 1889 stowaways.
Why this particular year should have been
banner one for "vagabonding" is hard to ascer-
tain, unless it could be credited to the I'm:
settled conditions of Europe and the restlessness
of humanity in general in those years follow:
ing the World War.
THE problem of the stowawy has worried
steamship companies and sea captains ever
since vessels or seacraft Of any sort have been
plying the ocean, for the stowaway, like the poor,
is always with us. Today in the United States
there is fine of $1,000 levied on every ship
that permits an ineligible alien to land
The treatment of stowaways has been dis
puted question for years. In bill before Com
gress several years ago relative to alien seamen
appeared this clause concerning stowaways:
'This bill provides for their exclusion, but
permits of their admission under the discretion
of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. The
hoca in he ma Ofr fho
stowaway is liable to become public charge.
and the exception because in some cases there
exist circumstances permitting their admission"
Although the Stowaway is an old story to
land and sea authorities, the problem was con-
fined merely to the annoyance he gave until
the air lanes were opened up for ocean travel.
But today, in the infancy of transoceanic trans.
portation by air, the stowaway causes real
alarm because the matter of excess weight is
so important
Humanity as a whole is still too firmly
welded to terra firma to rush wholesale to air
transportation, either as an invited or unlimited
guest. But as time goes on and air travel be-
comes more and more common, the air stow.
away will wax holder and holder unless he Is
discouraged by public sentiment and the proper
authorities
Today the list of air stowaways is a small
one.
AS the Graf Zeppelin started from Lakehurst
for its round-the-world trip. New Jersey lad
attempted to hide on the big ship but was dis
covered and put under guard by the United
States Marines. Dozens of sailors carrying
flashlights climbed all over the dirigibe, looking
in every nook and crevice for other adventure

to pop up after the air liner had begun its long

to these secretive tourists. It sends them
coughing and spluttering to the deck if they
perceive the fumes in time but it has been
known to be the death of others who fingered.
Two men died from asphyxiation in the hold
of the freighter Munisla last April, while seven
persisted on board the steamship Steel by in
haling the deadly fumes.
A plot to smuggle men from Algiers to France
resulted in the greatest casualty list in stow
away history. Twenty-Five bodies were found
in the coal bunkers of the French steamship
after stormy run across the Mediterranean.
Only short time ago, two stowaways who
preferred death to discovery jumped overheard
from the S. s. Vela and were eaten by sharks.
All kinds of schemes for a safe and secret
journey are Matched up by inventive minds.
One man shipped himself in coffin armed only
with piece of hardtack and bottle of water,
but the lively corpse" was found and brought
to light.
There arrived from Dusseldorf, Germany, o
19-year-old youth nailed inside packing case
which was consigned c. o. D. to a fictitious
address in West Eighty fourth street, New York
City.
SEA captains have stated that there are two
kinds of stowaways, those who embark
purely for the sake of adventure and those who
brave the dangers and dscomforts of stow
away in order that they may reach certain
destination.
individuals born with wanderlust and with
no means to satisfy it and boys with imagina-
lions fired by thrilling adventure stories fall in
the first class. Undoubtedly the boy stowaway
is the most picturesque of all the classes of sea
Migrants.
He may have embarked on the high sea or
high air purely for the thrill that it provided,
or he may have his young eyes set on some
particular land of promise, but he carries with
him the age-old appeal of youth faring into un-
known lands unafraid.
Comdr Byrd was little surprised to find two
stowaways on his ship when he set sail for the
South Pole regions.
Women have taken up the role of stowaway
quite frequently of late, along with their widely
varied activities in the business and sport world
A shy Australian music teacher, % years old,
slowed away on the Cecile When discovered
she signed as cabin boy to wash dishes. She
sailed $4,000 miles, from Australia to Cardiff.
Last Spring a Mrs. Lerbergh concealed her
self and her three children on a Belgian steam
ship and managed to reach her destination be-
fore she was discovered. An American girl
from well-to-do Western family was discov-
cred as a stowaway on one of the big trans
Atlantic steamers. When the captain cabled
her whereabouts to her parents, back came the
dsillusioning answer: put her to washing
dishes" That would seem to be the end of
romance to any girl. -
MOT many stowaways reach their destination
ton officers who have charge of stowaway
cases.
1t may have been the spirit of adventure or
It may have merely been well deyeloped thirst

 The signal corps force pitched in and within thirty hours esta- blished service with St. Michael, Teller and Nnlato. Tests were also made. with Fairbanks but satisfactory service could not be carried on and arrangements were then made to transmit and re- ceive messages to Fairbanks thru the Nulato station, the operators working all last night to clean up the business amounting to over 200 messages enroute to Nome.
