In shop at Nantucket, says the
Boston Globe, some New Bedford
(Mass.) girls noticed what looked like
n cherry stone set on base like that
Of collar button. They inquired
what 1t was and were told 1t was
spoon holder, and when they looked
incredulous, the proprietor of the
shop removed the cherry stone from
Its base and shook out of 1t two doz-
en- silver spoons. Each spoon had an
unmistnkable bowl, yet one which
would hold no more than a micro
scopic drop Of tea. The novelty was
the work of Nantucketer whose
keenness of vision and skill in hand.

IN ~. purely vegetable ton

as California Fig Syrup and endorsed
by physicians for over 80 years.
Children need no urging to take 1t.
They love its rich, fruity flavor.
Nothing can compete with it as gen.
tie, but certain laxative, and 1t goes
further than this. It gives tone and
strength to the stomach and bowels
so these organs continue to act nor

lates the appetite, helps digestion.
"A Kansas mother, Mrs. Dana ALL
pire. 61O Monroe St., Topeka, says:
"Bonnie B. is absolutely the picture
of health, now, with her rudy cheeks,
bright eyes and plump but graceful
little body and she stands at the top
In every health test.
Much Of the credit for her perfect
condition is due to California Fig
Syrup. We have used it since baby
hood to keep her bowels active dur
ing colds or any children's ailments
and she has always had an easy time
with them. She always responds to
Its gentle urging and is quickly back
to normal"
Ask your druggist for California
Fig Syrup and look for the word
"California" on the carton so you'll
always get the genuine.

summer, fogs and clouds and variable

Flight Of Norge Is Cited.
After Comdr. Byrd's flight to the
North Pole the airship Norge started
and the many days of good weather,
calm and with cloudlesS skies, ended
as soon as the airship reached the
Pole. From there the party headed
by Amundsen and Ellsworth flew
through fog and mist to Alaska and
saw a much smaller area than they
had anticipated.
Until Byrd left Spitzbergen the
weather remained thick and stormy.
The Antarctic is no exception to these
seasonal changes apparently, for in the
days since the eastern fight there
have been overcast skies, dense fog and
winds shifting all around the compass.
For the season it appears that the
flying program was concluded just In
time.

completed the mission better than we
hoped for. They seem to crave hazards
and danger. But my duty now is to DO
my utmost to get them home. Besides,
flying in thick weather down here is

Trek Out AfOOt Is InadvisabIe.
There is another reason for not max
ing further extensive flights. If the
plane were forced down 800 miles OF
more from camp now on an eastern
flight, the crew, provided they landed
safely, could hardly get back to camp

must leave. 1t is hoped that the ships
will arrive here about the third week

Dunedin in a few days and sail to The
ice pack and the Boiling will leave early
in January.
They must leave here as early ir
February as possible to avoid the new

nearly trapped the New York last year
And If the plane crew did not get back

3 REBEL ARMIES
Widespread Revolt Threat
Against Marking Government
Continues, However.
Rr the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, December 13-Forces Of
the Nationalist government today APP
parently had fought to standstill
three rebellious armies in widely sepa-
rated parts of China, but the threat of
widespread revolt, aimed at the over
throw of Marking, still remained.
Probably the most outstanding VIC
tory was that over the insurgent forces
beaten back from the gates of Canton
with heavy losses. Reports from the
southern metropolis indicated that the
"Ironsides" Division of Gen. Chang
Fak-Wei and insurgents from Kwangsi
Province, who several weeks ago CO.
operated in an advance upon Canton,
still were retreating.
Bloody Three-Day Battle.
These rebels were whipped in bloody
three-day battle just outside the city.
Half of the insurgents were said to have
been numbered among the casualties,
including captured. Nationalist losses
were not mentioned.
Another unit of the Nationalist army
was credited with having stopped the
advance upon Marking, the Nationalist
capital, of the Pukow mutineers at Chu-
chow, SO miles north of the rebel OBJ
jective Some 10000 rebels were in
volved in this encounter. Troops drawn
by the government from the less re-
belliously inclined areas were whipped
into an army to stop the mutineers
and were reported to be holding the
line as the fighting subsidized.
Third Nationalist Success.
The third Nationalist success, al
though the fighting was indecisive. was
in Honan Province, where rebels ad-
vancing upon Hankow, important in
land city, were checked for the time

uation was serious.
The missionaries, attached to the
Lazarus mission there, appealed for the
protection of Nationalist troops and
asked that their request be taken up
with consular authorities. Headquar-
tiers of the mission are at German
