MOUNTAIN" COFFEE

STRANGE isn't it, that mountain-grown coffee
should be so much richer, mellower, more favor
ful than any other?
Yet, if ever you have climbed a mountain your
self, ever felt the exhilarating delight of crisp,
mountain air and brilliant, mountain sunshine
you will understand. For something of this has
been imprisoned in the rare favor of this noun
tain-grown coffee!
So choose Beech-Nut-the mountain grown
coee-for the guest you particularly wish please.
No finer coffee can be offered him. for no finer
coffee is erossG
Yet. in spite of the extra trouble and expense it
takes to get it, Beech-Nut brings mountain coffee
to you for bet tle more than yOS pay for ordinary
cefees' A luxury in favor but no luxury in price
Besides vacuum tins protect BeechNut Coffee
NOT only from the Aavor-destroying air outside
the tin but from the equally harmful air which
turks inside every non-vacuum container. Beech
Nut Coffee is aIyays fresh.

With the cooperation of the American

numerous reports we're received through
amateurs from the Macmillan National
Geographic Navy expedition to North
western Greenland. the expedition with
which Rear Admiral Byrd obtained his
first Arctic flying experience. The tech
nique Of radio communication has been
greatly improved since 1925, however,

work is believed to be more efficient
than any similar organization which
has been in operation.

Science
Ne'C Form Of Meningitis
Breaks Out in Europe.


Small epidemics Of a new form Of
the dreaded spinal meningitis In Ger
many and Scandinavia are reported
in the British medical journal, Lancet
The symptoms duplicate in practically
every respect those of tubercular menin-
gifts, the worst form of the disease,
which attacks children and which al
most invariably is fatal. But in these
cases there have been no fatalities. The
children are very sick for few days
after a rapid onset Of the disease, but
then recover rapidly. There are none
of the complications and after effects
common to other forms OF meningitis.
Examination of the cerebro-spinal fluid
shows no tubercular organisms.
The new disease Is called acute as
ceptic meningitis. A curious feature
of it is that the victims often have a
tubercular history, which ordinarily
would tend to strengthen the diagnosis
OF tuberculari meningitis. IT. r. H.

Pangborn and Herndon tried first and
overran the dirt runway at Roosevelt
Field, careening through the perilous
gully where two of Rene Fonck's men
were killed in 1925, and were kept up
right only by the skill and cool-headed-
ness of the veteran stunt flyer Pang-

A few days later Boardman attempted
to lift the Cape Cod, staggering under
its fuel load. from the concrete of Floyd
Bennett Field. but overran its length
of almost mile, shot crafty across a
dirt parking space, cleared street by
2 feet and Numbered out across the bay.
Unable to gain altitude, Boardman had
to dump his gas and return.
Some popular doubt as to the prob
able success of the two teams had also
been caused by the long time they
spent in preparation for the flights.
Pangborn and Herndon had been at the
Long Island flying fields all Summer
and calmly continued their preparations
when Post and Gatty got away ahead of
them and smashed the Graf Zeppelin's
world-girdling record of more than 81
days to days, Is hours and 81 min

Boardman and. Pcl-ndo had been
even longer in prepsrc ton. The fight
was first planned to be made in con-
nection with an American Legion show
in Boston last year. The plane was
then called the American Legion But
conditions were unfavorable last year
and Boardman, after one plane burned,
gave up the venture for the time being
But this year his old desire returned,

Boardman and Polando started from
New York because their object was a

LYNN. Mass, July 80 R).-The
Polandos declared a 24-hour morato-

The mother, brother and sisters OF
John Polando, mechanic Of the plane,
Cape Cod, who flew with Russell Board
man to Istanbul, Turkey, slept peace
fully last night while the rest OF the
world wondered and worried over the
whereabouts of the flyers.
Mrs. Mary P. Polando, mother Of the
flyer, said, I'VE heard Of the arrival in
Turkey on the radio. but we hadn't
been worried at all. We had confidence
in John, as he is good flyer. I flew
with him for As minutes in Boston
once and I know he is careful and
efficient. We all went to bed last night
and slept soundly because John had
told us it wouldn't be time to worry
until noon today"
This is holiday in this house"
Leo, brother of John, said and his sis
tiers, Miss Alberta and Mrs. Violet Tall
amin, nodded assent. Meanwhile the
neighbors focked to the house to con-
graduate the family on Johns feat.
Over in Peabody, John Polando, r.,
4-year-old son of the aviator, was

pride from his playmateS. John. jr.,
has been staying with an aunt OF his
mothers since Mrs. Polando went to

In most cases the messages are copied

phoned a few moments later to the
headquarters Of the National Geo.

however, atmospheric conditions have
been so bad in the Washington area
that it has been impossible to receive
the messages. At these times some of
the many other listeners with more
favorable conditions in their regions
have copied the messages, and they
have been quickly relayed to their
destination. During the more than
three months since the expedition be-

have failed to reach Washington within
few hours after they were sent.
The value of keeping in almost daily
contact with a field party which is
often far from ordinary channels of
communication has been demonstrated
on several occasions The most recent
of these was when a Geographic report
from Srinagar, capital of kashmlr,
