III ARCTIC DEATHS
NEVER EXPLAINED
Inflated Franklin Party of
80 Years Ago Spurred
Explorations.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 23.-One riddle
Of the silent North has been solved
with the finding of the bodies of Salo-
mon-Auguste Andree and his two COM
panions, who new on toward the North
Pole in balloon 80 years ago, but the
Arctic still holds the fates and the
bodies OF 141 other men who, like
Andree and his crew, never came back.
Twelve CT them vanished two years
ago this Summer, in the bag of Gen.
Umberto Mobiles dirigible, Italia, as 1t
drifted away after the crash on the
Polar ice cap north of North East Land
and six more were lost in a French
seaplane In which Capt. Raold Amund-
Mobile.
The other 100 persisted more than
30 years ago in the vicinity of Baffin
Island, on the northern coast Of
Canada, with Sir John Franklin, q
British explorer as noted in his day IS
Amundsen was later.
IA Years Of Silence.
In two ships, the Erebus and the
Terror, Sir John and his crew set out
on May 10, 1845, with three years to
md q Northwest passage to the Pacific.
A few weeks later they sailed from
Bafin Bay into Lancaster. Sound. Four
teen years passed before any hint of
their fate was brought back and the
story was never completed.
When no word had come from them
after three years, a search began that
lasted more than decade, resulted In
the exploration of 1000 miles of North
American Arctic coastline, and first
aroused In Americans an interest In
Polar exploration.
Eskimos Saw Dying Men.
In the years since then, their story
has been added to bit by bit. Eskimos
told of seeing the white men stagger-
Ing along over ice and snow, dropping
by the trail. How far the last Of the
l2s travelled probably will never be
known. Even In recent years there
have been found among the Eskimos
articles identified as having belonged
to members of the Franklin expedition.
The names Of the men who died with
Sir John Franklin have long been for
gotten Sir John himself, hero of
Trafalgar. an explorer so distinguished
that he was knighted by his King, is
remembered only by a memorial tablet
In Westminster Abbey and q few
columns in the encyclopedias.

FIND PARROT FEVER
DIAGNOSIS METHOD
Rockefeller Institute Doctors
Report on Experiments
Affecting Humans.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, August 23.--Discovery
az the Rockefeller Institute here Of Q
method to diagnose human psittacosis
by use Of white mice, Is reported in
the Journal Of the American Medical
Association by three institute physl-
clans.
Psittacosis, more commonly known
as parrot fever" is disease combining
the symptoms Of influenza and typhoid
fever, contracted originally by parrots,
which in turn pass 1t on to human
beings. From shipment of infected
parrots from South America Just be-
fore Christmas, last Winter an epidemic
resulted in the United States, and a
number Of persons died.
1t is found that man probably
catches the disease through his nose
or mouth.
Immunity, due to having the disease
once, Is questioned.
Effectiveness Of methods used at the
institute to prevent spread Of the dis
ease is commented upon.
One Of the institute physicians caught
the disease and recovered. his case fur
nishing an unusual opportunity for
study. He is identified only by the
initials g. p. B.
Work Begun in February.
The authors of the report were G. p
Berry. T. M. Rivers and Bernard Ben
jamin.
Work on psittacosis was begun in
our laboratory" they say. February 26
and has continued for four months. A
large number of parrots, mice, guinea
pigs, rabbits and monkeys have been
innoculated with the virus. and the
course Of the infection in these animals
has been under investigation. All this
work-even the housing of the infected
animals-has been conducted in the
center of a large research laboratory
located near the business managers
offices, the library, the dining rooms,
the central medium room and the
girls rest rooms.
I'm spite of the infectious nature Of
psittacosis we have been able to pre-
vent the occurrence of any cases among
the workers and employees.
Regardless Of the care taken to pre-
vent spread of the infection, how
ever, one of the physicians &c. p. b.
who came IN very close contact with
the animals and infectious materials

made lighter and with better fabric
The largest standard balloon now has
$4,000 cubic feet gas capacity and can
stay aloft from 48 to 70 hours.
1.-THE basic question" Comdr. Fulton
said, still Is whether the balloon could
me maneuyered to take advantage Of
wind which would carry the bag In the
direction its pilot wanted to CO."
Even though modern balloons might
stay aloft longer, and radio could be
used for communication, In the officers
opinion these factors would avail moth
ing II the balloorist should be forced to
land In the polar regions. There stiH
would be the problem Of forcing q RESI-
cue expedition through the ice to the
stranded balloonists.
No Engines Available.
Andree, Comdr. Fulton added, would
have had better chance to survive
had he been able to avail himself Of
an internal engine to give
him motive power. There was no salts
factory engine for balloons when Andree
made his flight.
Comdr Fulton expressed the belief
that future successful lighter-t han-air
expeditions through polar regions would
be made In motored craft because of
their greater maneuverability and cruis-
ing radius.
'Motorizing airships," he said, sis the
only practicable way Of solving the
major problems"

fertile clowns, Jack Oakie, william
Austin and Eugene Palette, and al
lowed them to indulge in q wildly
assorted and totally impossible series
OF gags" From the first to last,
the producer, the dialogue writer's,
the director and the actors have
tried TO be funny--and the result Is,
for once, they are funny.
Obviously without much Of an
idea what TO do for q plot, the
Paramount Corporation nosed about,
grabbed Mr.. Oakie from here and
Miss Jeanette Macdonald from
there, and turned loose their best
scenario writers on them. George
Marion, H., responsible for much
OF the spoken and lettered words,
should be congratulated upon the
completely successful results. There
Is, furthermore, very pleasant coll
lection OF songs, sung nicely by Miss
Macdonald, the prize shot" Of the
year-Jack Oakie in his fiannels--
and one or two scenes In which the
immortal Kay Francis Is as effective
aS ever.
Starting OF with its best foot first,
since Mr.. Parllette is always q well
come performer, the camera shows q
troupe OF actresses about to entrain
for South America under the ward
robe auspices Of lady Macdonald.
On the same boat appear William
Austin, as Billy Pistol-"of the Chi
cago Pistols: Jimmie Hall, the
young herman, and Jack Oakie, the
first name. Also on this boat are
the two lovely ladies Of the Aim.
The boys work below as "trimmers"
until there is shipwreck and the
whole company lands on q South
Sea island.
Pearls, oil and Skeets Gallagher,
masquerading as king, are found
here, and everybody has . grand
time until rescued.
It is literally impossible to de-
scribe this film. It defies interpreta-
ton. But for any one who has an
ounce Of laugh in him 1t is heartily
recommended.
The program is full Of other
good things. M-G-M. have con-
trived an "all barkie-talkie," "Col-
lege Hounds" which is worth the
price Of admission alone. The stage
presentation Is colorful and In
genuous creation entitled, 1.-THE
Undersea Ballet" In which Rave
Ellis and La Rue are especially
worth attention, and In which spec
tacular sea monsters float on and
on the stage, aided and abetted by
two dancers, Collins and Lindemari.
All paths should lead to the
Palace this week. There are enough
laughs to last almost three hours.

TOO MANY LONG
HOUR FACTORIES,
ASSERTS DAVIS
Labor Chief Cites Value of
Giving Work to More
in IobIess Crisis.

Bv scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Secre-
tary of Labor James j. Davis be-
lies there are entirely too many
twelve-hour day and seven-day
week industries still to be found in
this country" and he is spreading
among employers the suggestion
that these days and weeks be
shortened.
Davis made this statement to
Howard Newspapers after
having received from his bureau OF
labor statistics a recent survey OF
labor conditions in the Birmingham
(Ala.) area where the iron and steel
industry is foremost.
This work by Davis was seen as
an important aid to unemployment,
for figures show employment OF more
men in many industries when work
days and weeks are shortened.
GAS an illustration of what rea-
sonable hours of work per day and
days per week would do for a single
locality, let us take the iron and
steel industry in the state of Ala
bama, specifically what is known as
the Birmingham district" Secretary
Davis said.
1.-THE pay rolls of sixteen iron and
steel plants show that only about %
per cent of employees on an eight
hour day, nearly AZ per cent on a
ten-hour day, 81 per cent on a
twelve-hour day, IS per cent on a
six-day week, 80 per cent alternate
having six-day week one week and
then two seven-day weeks, in other
words, each third week is Six-day
week, while % per cent have a
straight seven-day week, and most
of these have the twelve-hour day.
"In the plants covered, there were
4,434 employees. A straight eight
hour day, even with six days a week,
would considerably more than dou-
BILE the employment, and if that dis
trict with one industry would go on
an eight-hour day and five-day
week, it could employ three men
regularly where it now employs one,

Fearing they might inform his
