AMNESIA VICTIM IS
 HELD AT HOSPITAL

Suffering from amnesia, which apparently has erased from her mind all memory of past events, Mrs. Mary Kavda of Juneau is in St. Ann's hospital today.
 She was brought into town last night by an employee of the Alas ka Juneau mine, who found her near the Ebner boarding house in Silver Bow Basin. Shortly after 10 pm. city officials were working on the cast and this morning early were able to establish her identity
 Since 2 am. this morning her mind has been clear, but she has no memory of anything that tran spired prior to that time. An examination by a local physician failed to reveal any signs of drug or liquor. She is apparently in good health, although she com- plained of a slight headache.
 Mrs. Kavda will be held at the hospital temporarily pending fur ther investigation.

GRAF ZEPPELIN TO MAKE POLAR
 FLIGHT IN 1881
Nansen Writes Gov. Parks Regarding Polar Ex-
 pedition Program

The Graf Zeppelin, under char ter to Aeroarctic, will make its first polar expedition in April, 1881, &C., cording to letter just received by Gov. George A. Parks, from Fritjof Nansen, President of the Society and famous Arctic explorer, who will head the expedition Insur- ance for the big airship, lack of which forced the cancellation of the 1880 expedition, will be avail able for next year, he said.
 MT. Nansen expressed his regret to Gov. Parks that plans for this years work had to be cancelled. The delay, however, was expected to prove beneficial as it wotld per init greater achievements in 1881 than would have been possible this Eyear.
 Arrangements Complete
 All financial arrangements as well as construction, preparation and tests of all the necessary scientific apparatus and methods for the ex- tended cbservational program had been made last summer and fall for this years projected flights It developed in December that, con- trary to it's expectations and agree ment with Aeroarctic, the Fufts- chiffbau-zeppelin Company could not secure from underwriters in- surance covering the trip.
 The officers of the society have now taken up the matter and hope to get the insurance covered for an expedition in 1881, passing their confidence on declarations received from responsible parties of the in- surance risk. Unfortunately this assurance was received too late to permit forwarding of the great amount of supplies and equipment necessary to reach the several base stations in Norway and at. Fair banks, in time for the needs of the ship in April of this year The neurological conditions of the Arc tics, MT Nansen said, are unfavor- able for success of the expedition as planned after April and May.
 No Reason for Delay
 There is no reason from the scientific and operating sides for delay next year, he added. Through the most energetic application of the various scientific and techni- cal commissions of the society, the scientific equipment, methods and construction have all been remark ably well prepared.
 Through the endeavors of the Fairbanks Commercial Club and citizens of that town, the Territorial Government of Alaska and the Alaska Road Commission, a fine landing field has been prepared at Fairbanks, involving the expendi-

NEW FORD ASSEMBLY PLANT
Endless Chain Conveyor, Three and
a Half to Four Miles Long

a HAN TO our Nl1leS LUUS
An Endless chain conveyor, three
and a half to four miles long, said
to be the longest in the world, has
just been completed at the Rouge
Plant of the Ford Motor Company
at Dearborn, Michigan. On it parts
of Ford cars in the process of
manufacture are transported from
one building to another and COM
pleted parts are carried direct to
railroad cars for shipment to
branch assembly plants. The con-
veyor, which carries its cargo on
suspended hooks, has a daily ca
pacity for 100000 parts weighing
over 100000 pounds. It sup
plants freight cars and trucks
which have been used for the trans
fer of many parts from one point
to another in the Ford plant. This
longest conveyor of them all is a
development of the Ford policy
that nothing should be done by
manual labor that could better be
done by machine. In the early
days of his manufacturing career,
Mr.. Ford devised the assembly
line-a moving track on which
cars in the process of assembly
went to the workmen instead of
the workmen carrying parts to the
car. The assembly line, perfected
in many ways, is now used by
automobiles manufacturers gener-
ally. The value of the conveyor in
reducing physical labor, in saving
time, in preserving system and in
cutting costs soon became appar-
ent and its use was extended to
other purposes about the plant.
Now there are literally miles of
conveyors of various types in the
Ford plant. = Some of them carry
parts from one building to another
and are carefully synchronized so
that the parts arrive at precisely
the right moment and in the exact
spot where they are needed. 9th
ers transport red hot ingots of
steel weighing nearly a ton each.
Still others move outgoing ship
ments. If it were not for the con-
veyors, according to officials of the
Ford Company, mass production
would not be possible on its pres
ent scale.

NATIONAL GUARD CAMP SITE
New Roads, Pavements, Sanitary
Provisions Added at Camp

Provisions Added at Camp
A number of improvements are
to be made to the camp OF the
198th Coast Artillery, A. A, Della
ware National Guard, bordering
the Atlantic Ocean, near Bethany
Beach, which will increase its value
as National Guard Camp.
Among the improvements are new
sidewalks, laid by the State High
way Department, road running
in front of the camp from Bethany
Beach, built by Sussex county, and
an extension of this highway by
the State Highway Department,
and new sanitary provisions for
the camp. This spring Sussex
county ran a gravel road from the
end of the concrete road, running
from Bethany Beach to the camp,
for about two miles parallel to the
ocean shore line, north towards
Indian River Bay Inlet to Cotton
Patch. The State Highway De-
partment, under the direction of
w. w. Mack, chief engineer of the
department, recently completed an
extension of this county gravel
road, by State gravel road, run
ming parallel to the ocean, for
mile north. The extension runs
into the State lands and makes
them accessible This road will be
available to the batteries of the
198th Coast Artillery, A. A, Della
ware National Guard, for maneuv-
ers, should they desire to use it.
The new sidewalks on the camp
property will be of great benefit
because of the sandy soil of the
camp. A new four-foot sidewalk
will run parallel to the concrete
road of the camp, 20 feet, by the
field and staff officers tents, and
will be Joined by other sidewalks,
one at each end, to the concrete
road, and one from the colonePs
tent. In addition there will be short
concrete sidewalks running from
the officers mess and the admin
istration building. In addition to
the concrete walks and the new
roadway the sanitary system is be
ing greatly improved. There will
be new sanitary provisions and a
new disposal plant for the enlisted
men, and there will be new provi-
sions for the officers. This sani-
tary improvement will be all COM
pleted by the middle of July, in
ample time for The start of camp,
