Iceman Presents His Memoirs

some of my friends and fellow workers,
such as John Smith. William Jones,
Jim Thompson and Joe Miller. I men,
ton their names here not because the
reader would know them, but because
they are just as good as any other names
and they help to fill up the memoirs.
**
can very distinctly remember the
presidential election of 1908 Excite
ment ran high, as it was felt that one
or the other of the candidates was
practically certain to win. My father
took no part in it. He always claimed
that man delivering ice ought to keep
away from the heat of political parti-
sanship. He himself said that he would
just as soon hand the ice to a Demo-
crat as to Republican.
TX X X
With only slight effort of memory,
I can bring back the recollection of the
beginning of the Great War. At the
time was only 20 years old, but even
at that age my mind was nearly as
developed as it is, now. and under
stood that if war began there would
certainly be fighting.
My father, who followed closely all
that was in the papers, was greatly ex-
cited over the war, and was convinced
that Belgium could easily beat France,
though it turned out that he was mis-
taken. He himself was able to keep in
touch with the war situation, as he was
engaged in loading ice on the meat
ships that left almost daily for Europe
Added to this, his own European de-
scent gave him sort of inherited in
sight into European politics. and he felt
sure that in the end Norway and Swe-
den would come out ahead.
All this seems many years ago, and
those days have drifted SO far into the
past few can remember them. The war
came to an end at last and was sue
ceeded by Prohibition. and Aerial Navi-
cation and other things. On these I
must not touch, as am now getting
within living memory. Indeed, it was
shortly after the war that my failing
strength at the shovel neceSsitated my
retirement from active shoveling.-
The partial collapse of my mind,
which happened at the same time, led
me to undertake, on the advice of my
medical attendant, the writing of these
memoirs It was his opinion that my
mental powers had reached a state of
decline, which would guarantee their
success. My publishers assure me that
this prediction has been amply justified.

compelled to smile at it, which I sup
pose few people could do. I remember
how, when the first 30-story building
was built, my father-who, though a
workingman, was man of great nat
uraI shrewdness-Said he'd hate to fall
off the top of it
Work began with me early in life and
has been more or less continuous, which
is a matter ! do not regret. as I con-
slider that it is largely owing to an
active life of work that at IS I still
have all, or nearly all, my faculties, and
my mind Is at least as bright as it
ever was.
My fathers influence secured me a
position shoveling sawdust in an ice
house, where my own industry gradu-
ally raised me to the top. AS it is pos
sible that some of my readers do not
understand the technique of an ice
house, may explain that our work in
shoveling sawdust was of a highly spe-
cialized character, demanding not only
bodily strength but skill. courage and
morality.

equipment. Wonderful results have
been accomplished in the reliability of
motor. planes and accessories. Not only
is the flight of great value in a military
way. but 1t is also of commercial value
II Is an interesting experiment with a
good deal of practicable value to in
creasing the radius of flight"
At the same time that Col. Goebel is
planning his flight there comes word
from abroad that the Graf Zeppelin
will possibly. also. undertake a round
the-world flight in 1929. Should this
come to pass the world will see the
spectacle of the two challengers of the
air vying with each other for endur-
ance, and the reduction of the world to
minimum of encompassment by air.
craft. The contest. if such should
come to pass. would easily be the
premier news of the year and mark the
high tide of aerial ambition.
When Lindbergh flew across the At
lantic in 1927 in one of the greatest
and the most romantic solo flights ever
recorded. the world thrilled as it had
never thrilled before. Thirty-three
hours out to Paris! 1t cried. And then
came Chamberlin's flight from New
York to Berlin (Kottbus). Germany,
without refueling or miShap, save in
landing. Now it is New York to New
York; Paris to Paris: London to Lon
don; Berlin to Berlin; San Francisco to
San Francisco; Chicago to Chicago; St.
Louis to st. Louis.
Aviation lends itself peculiarly to
accomplishment and endeavor. Only
a few short months ago it marked
its twenty-fifth anniversary as science
And in that time, though it has made
unprecedented scientific progress, much
yet remains that can be accomplished
in Its name. Man will not be satisfied
until he has conquered the air thor
oughly, since he set out to do so, and
will not rest until, in the name of COM
merce or national glory. he has reduced
the earth to minimum spheroid. many
times less than that which confronted
its first circumnavigator
The world will eventually be flown by
a lone eagle, whether it is Goebel or
not. That fight will presage others in
which time cutting will be the objective
sought. The possibilities build unre-
mittingly.
The slashing of time IS the greatest
endeavOr of the world today. Men,
women and business want to get from
here to there and from there to here in
the quickest time possible. The air af-
fords the quickest mode of travel. It is
unhampered by traffic of any kind and
speed limit there is governed only by
limited ability of mechanical perform
ance.
A hop around the world without stop
would have its practical value in mail
transport circles. Postal authorities are
engaged in getting mail from its point
of origin to its point of destination as
quickly as possible. A round-the- world
flight without break would be, without
doubt. they say. of interest to them in
that it would show that through mail
transportation from country to country
could be made with or without stop
over. To them such flight intrigues
from the angle of greater radius flying.
From the standpoint of the Army
and Navy such flight would show

In the Winter when the ice was put
in it was our duty to shovel the saw
dust on top of each layer of ice, SO that
for every layer of ice there was above
it layer of sawdust. ~
Perhaps can make my meaning
clearer If explain that the ice and the
sawdust were laid in alternate layers.
A good way to understand what I mean
is to grasp the idea that the ice was
covered with the sawdust and that the
sawdust was over the ice. am afraid
that cannot state 1t more simply than
that, and the reader must either get it
o.. miss it.

This was our work in the Winter. In
Summer OUR task was reversed. so that
we ShOveled the Sawdust off and SHOW
eled the ice out again, which lent
very pleasing variety to our work and
prevented it from being monotonous.
We thus rose and fell each Winter and
Summer.

what can be done in case of emergency
To the two branches of the service
knowledge that engines and men can
stand $50 to 300 hours in sustained
flight is invaluable. AS far as the
Army is concerned it is interesting to
know. as observed Gen. Fechet, chief
of the Army Air Corps, that planes can
be kept on the fighting front for long
periods of time. And the longer that
time, no question. the more valuable
from the military point of view.
Such flight. if successfully made.
would be of more practical value to the
Navy, it is believed. The Navy, I'M
like the Army. is equipped with air.
plane carriers and ships at sea with
service planes. Refueling for a con-
tinuous sea flight or overseas flight
would be no trick at all for the Navy.
In fact 1t has been suggested that the
Navy. because of its special equipment
for handling the sea legs of such a
jaunt, is peculiarly fitted to sponsor
one.
And lastly. for general defense pur-
poses. such a flight would be of value
in determining the ACCESSIBILITY of estab-
fishing refueling bases on various ma
tional possessions throughout the world.

IHE cost OF solo flight around the
world is estimated. by civil aero
nautic officials. at 100000. This
high cost results from the necessity of
transporting to various strategical
points over the surface of the globe of
supplies. men and equipment for SER
vicing the world flyers. In addition
to this special arrangements and spe-
cial concessions would have to be OBJ
tanned from the various countries on
the flight itinerary in behalf Of the
flight. An extensive complement would
be necessary for the SSceessful carry
ing out Of the venture
Goebel already believes that his idea
has taken with men Of wea%h interest,"
ed in the promotion of Aeronautics.
A Western newspaper, since his an
nouncement of daring to undertake
such venture. has offered a prize of
$4,000 to the first man who success
fully negotiates the course. The offer
is good until January l, 1881. and is
open to the aviators of the World. It
prescribes. only that the fight pro-
coed "as nearly as possible along the
lines of fortieth parallel of north iaM-
tude."
In the meantime the Fokker avia-
ton firm in Europe, deeply intrigued
by the performance of the Question
Mark. is stirring in the direction of a
round-the-world hop from Paris to
Paris. The route outlined is that pro-
posed as the probable route of Goebel.
So, all in all. it is not improbable
that, before 1929 has passed from the
scene of the worlds activities. that
ball will be circumnavigated by some
devotee to the greatest of all sdyen-
turers. Mr.. "Derrius-D0.'

M A solo fight around the
Art Goebel, ace of the Pa
cific fight.
When?
August or September, 1929.
That's the latest aviation hot news"
Col Goebel himself announced as
much from a sick bed at Wichita,
Kans, Immediately after the Question
Mark, which smashed all endurance
records in the air for heavier-than-air
craft or otherwise. came to land in
California January 7, after six and one
fourth days in the air, with Maj. Carl
Spatz. U. S. A. A. c., commanding.
One hundred and fifty hours, 40
minutes and Is seconds of sustained
night! Eleven thousand three hun
bred miles flown; miles of chugging
motors, miles of drone, miles of iron,
miles of steel, miles of endurance for
men and machine, the like never be-
fore attained.
And born of that the dream of sin
gle plane winging its way round the
world in solitary fight; bursting into
the dawn of the East, passing the sun
on its Westward flight. riding with the
stars at night over forlorn seas and
greeting again the dawn with roaring,
exultant shout.
Betwixt the seas and the stars of
space, the moon and lands of romance,
the desert and blazing sun; over the
lands, forests filled with pestilential
death and disease, by monsoons and
lofty peaks of the unknown, on, on, on,
in one single, magnificent, glorious,
gorgeous flight The world forever I'M
der foot, the armament forever over
head. Swung like a pendulum be-
tween the earth and sky in one eternal,
unfolding course, like comet Winging
Its way through the everlasting blue,
the earth at its feet revolving in its
own ambient sphere, changing with its
progress from gay Summertime to
Somber Autumn and dull Winter and
then back again to playful Spring
that is the hope.
How is this fight to be made?
Refueling is, unquestionably the
big factor in making it. From expert
ecce gained in the Question Mark
fight, the successful passing from one
plane to another while in fight great
quantities of gasoline over an extended
period of time. the problem of refueling
on a world fight is looked upon as
solved. Tank planes will be posted at
strategical points along the world route
and these machines will meet the
plane as it passes over its course and
deliver to it the sustaining petrol. And
in the same manner that food and oil
was delivered to the Question Mark
crew, the same would be delivered to
the nepatiatJrs of the world course.
Aerial refueling is a practical
achievement" declares Capt. Ross G:
Hoyt, pilot of refueling plane No. OF
the Question Mark flight. Capt. Hoytt
delivered over 1000 gallons of gas OF
the 1856 taken aboard by the Question
Mark. His loads of fuel in no manner
compromised his plane in taking OIL
to serve the Question Mark and all was
delivered perfectly and on time.

straight course" said he in describing
his refueling operations. 81 kept to

War. Dwight F. Davis, says, The flight
is great thing. 1t is going to have a
very good effect on aviation in view of
the general confidence it will inspire in
