 Hope had receded in the hearts of the natives and teach CTS when northerly gales com menced sending the Arctic ice pack against the island full 30 days before the usual time, and loss of the seasons fur catch was feared because trapping had not yet been done and the foxes would escape on the moving ice flows" Geist stated.
 The ice moved back after sev- eral days, with the south wind, only to return again in greater volume lodging great ice-bergs against the island. Ths practi- cally dispelled all hope of sec ing the Boxer and of receiving supplies.
 My several voyages with Capt. tain Whitlam," MT. GeiSt con- tinued, "gave me assurance that he would reach the island if it possible. Boundless joy and merri- making reigned at the unbeliev able sight of the boat, one morn ing, as it was seen making it's way through the tiny leads open ed by the current near the shore. The wind and the prevailing op- perfume current permitted only the briefest stay for unloading and take on my specimens"

Valley Progress Constant

A Valley survey indicates building operations are
picking up in all towns, with prospects for much
activity during the summer and fall.
This is a healthy sign and should serve TO cheer
any who have been inclined to pessimism about the
future Of the section. True there are not many Of
these among our population. but there are a few
who need cheering occasionally.
Valley progress has been continuous for the past
10 years-more rapid at times than at others, but al
ways a forward movement.
But progress IS a multi-sided proposition and it
eometims requires close observation to discern al its
phases.
For instance, during the past wineter and spring
Building operations have been slow-slower than for
many months past. But. during this period thous-
ands Of homeseekers were being gathered up all over
the United States by land developers and brought here
as prospective buyers.
A large per cent of these visitors liked the Valley
sufficiently to purchase land, most Of them intending
eventually to remove here and make this their per-
manent home. Thousands Of acres of land were sold
in all parts OF the Valley. Some Of the new land
owners already have located in the new home Of their
choice.
This influx Of new blood. this prospective develop
nent Of additional acreage makes necessary further ex-
pansion IN the Valley towns to care for the increased
business. New and larger business enterprises are
required: buildings to house them must be constructed;
more clerks. bookkeepers. stenographers. and en-
plovees OF various sorts are needed. These move IN
and Immediately there Is demand for more homes
During the past few months agricultural develop
nent has been speeded up while growth Of the towns
has not been 50 rapid. Now the towns are growing
while there is a temporary lull in agriculture expan-
sion.
But all the while the Valley Is growing-becomlng
more stable in every way. Believe In the future O

The Once Over
THE SILLY SEASON ALoFT
BY q. !. PHILLIPS


This is evidently to be a season Of airplane stunt
orgies. You can't look aloft these days without seeing
a couple Of birdmen trying to set a new worlds rec
ord for unnecessary foolshness. No longer is there
any point in looking up at an airplsne and wondering
when it viii land. 1t may be UP for the summer.
TWO Fort Worth birdmen were recently in the air
more than a week without once coming down for q
change OF pajamas, new razor blades or the daily
newspapers. They tit" only when their plane be-
gan to grow obsolete.
Two French army pilots flew 26 hours continuously
al an average speed Of 1l1.7S miles an hour, estab-
fishing a new worlds record for day and night Joy
riding, and definitely proving that aviation has reach
ed a point where aerial traffic cops will have to work
on 24-hour shifts.
Before the summer Is over there may be contests
to see which naval flyer can open the most oysters
while flying upside down around the Washington
Monument. or which army airman can eat the largest
number OF raspberry pies over the state OF Kansas.
The feat of Robbins and Kelley In remaining aloft
seven days proves that an atrplane is not only a We
hicle OF transportation, but a vacation resort.
1t Just goes to show how long a letter can be held
up by aerial mail II a flyer is in the mood.
But IL is all SO futile. When these two airmea fin
ished their s~even-day flight they were still over Texas,
Indy flew only two days. but when he came down he
was in Paris. This makes Indy seem smarter than
ever.
The Texas birdmen covered more mileage than
Indy, but they opened no more new routes than a
squirrel in a cage. They didn't even capture the ma
tional Imagination. In this practical age few people
can see any sense flying a week and never getting out
of the one neighborhood.
Still. the craze for aerial stunts Is on and the first
thing you know some airmen are going to stay IN the
clouds for two weeks. Then a couple OF flyers viii
remain up for a month.
And ultimately there will be the grand climax:
Some fellow will 20 up in the air and decide not 70

a dressing gown Of sheerest black

She edged her way out OF the

hoping that Kent had retired. He
sat in his upper berth in his dress

Vivian drew her dressing gown close
about her. But 1t was very beautiful
and a very frail dressing gown
and was very little help.
Kent, looking at her sharply-for
once aware Of her as a woman
saw her embarrassment. Holding
the little chemiSe gingerly over the
side OF his berth. he smiled at her
wickedly, deliberately:
