Byrd Says Caroen Land, Isn't, However-It' {
 the Atmosphere
REAR ADMIRAL SAYS
 LADIES WERE MISSED.
Believes Another Expedi-j
 ton to Southern Parts x Is Justified

NEW YORK, June 2o.-Rear Ad- miral Richard E. Byrd, < who re- turned yesterday and was given a tremendous welcome after Is months ex ploring g the Antarctic world and flying to the South Pole, told interviewers that mot only was new land discovered but also it was established that Caroen land, re- ported by Capt Roald Amundsen, is not a land at all.
 There is most peculiar atmos- pheric condition in the Antarctic daylight
 "One cannot see with any ac- curacy and might fall into a cre- vase, walking right into it without seeing it. One of oIr men mistook a shoe, lying 10 feet away, for a seal There is no visible horizon, and everything is distorted. There are not even bugs in the water. It is so sterile, Doctors can use it just as it is without fear of infec- tion," concluded the Commander of the expedition.
 Asked what he missed most on the expedition, Rear Admiral Byrd said:
 "The ladies-we missed them an awful lot"
 Then he spoke seriously, saying T guess we missed the ordinary sounds of civilized life, more than almost anything.
 "we had only one rule in Little America no matter how much we hated it, we had to get up in the morning with no immediate future plans"
 The Rear Admiral said there was enough scientific data still to be gathered In the Antarctic to justi- fly another expedition, and he would not object to leading such a party.

 Tonight, President Hoover will award the special gold medal of the National Geographic Society.
 Refusing to speak of the future, until we get squared away on this expedition" Byrd hinted that nev- ertheless there is more South Pole work.
 we have got to find out what is there" he said. "The bottom of the world has even more effect on the weather than the North"

Bruce Lampson this week pur-

Miss Lulu Hughes Writes Of Her Interesting Trip Chicago which She
Received for Outstanding Leadership in An Club Work Benton County

planetarium is the only one in the
Western Hemisphere.
On Wednesday noon the Chicago
Mail Order House entertained the
girls at a luncheon and each of us
were presented with pencil and
pen set engraved in gold with the
words-a4-H Club" Then we were
taken through the building and
shown how orders were filled.
Half day was spent at the In
ternational Harvester Co., where
we saw them turning out tractor
every twelve minutes. We saw the
tractors being made from the time
the iron was being melted until the
finished tractors were tested for
any defects. At the time of our
visit they Were working on an or
der for fifty-five hundred to be
delivered to the Russian govern
ment. At noon the company enter
tanned us at lunch which was serv-
ed in their dining room which had
been specially prepared and decor
ated for the occasion. That after
noon was spent going thru the Nc
Cormick Irvine Mill which is run
by the same company. We learned
about the manufacturing of Irvine
from the raw hemp as it was re-
ceived from India until balls of it
were packed in gunnysacks for
shipping.
Thursday morning the girls
were guests of Montgomery Ward
Co. for breakfast and each was
given an Ever Sharp pencil, later
we were taken through the mail
order house. It was very interest
ing to see the hundreds of men
clerks go about filling orders on
roller skates. They can go up and
down stairs faster on roller skates
faster than other people can with
out them. That afternoon we visited
the model farm. Everything was
spick and span but the chicken
house. We wondered what they had
against chickens as they were not
nearly as well cared for as the
pigs. Speaking seriously, however,
the farm really was marvel, both
inside and out. We were permitted
to go thru the house which was
