to join the South Pole expedition of
Commander Byrd on it's trip home
to the United States.
DR.. Nelson expects to join the ex-

of the two steamers at that place.
The trip is being made to extend
welcome from Delaware and the L.
D. Caulk Company to Commander
Byrd and also to make a check on
the dental work done by DR.. Nelson
for the members of the expedition
before they left this country.
The L. D. Caulk Company estab-
lished a clinic in New York City,
where members of the South Polar
expedition were given dental treat
ment by DR.. Nelson in order to fit
them for the rigors of the trip.
In order to make a complete check
of his work and also to give any ad-

tend greeting to Commander Byrd
from Delaware and the L. D. CaHlk
Company.
"It is fitting that Delaware be the
first State to welcome Commander
Byrd" DR.. Nelson said, "as Delaware
was the first state to ratify the Con-
stitutiOn."
