 Willie Takak, the mail carrier came in from Unalakleet April 4th, and on April 5th he came down with the flu. Three days later there were four cases, and as the village was very short of medicine, Emil Olsen and Mrs. David Mazen went to Egavik to try to get some, They left about noon of April Sth. getting in Egavik too late to make the trip on to Unalakleet that evening, so spent the night with MT. and Mrs George Lomen. The next morning they left for Unalakleet, stayed long "nOugh to see Miss LeRoy. the popu lar nurse, and get some medicine. and pulled out on the return trip to Egavik. Arriving there in time to have lunch with the Lomen sand then back to Shaktoolk. They ar rived here about nine thirty that evening. They had a very hard trip as the top of the mountains was already bare of snow. and the dogs were tired from such a long trip.
 MT Mazen had attended to the sick people until he too came down with the flu, so when Mrs. Mazen arrived back at Shaktoolik, found the house dark and no fires. The next morning Mrs. Mazen went around 10 the different cab ins and distributed the medicine she was able to get at unala kleet. Every one in the village was sick but Emil Olsen and Mrs. Mazen. MT. Olsen got wood and water for the sick ones and Mrs. Mazen dis tributed medicine every morning and evening.

Hot House Goods Soon Be Ready

The new. large hot house which A. Polet, a leading Nome grocer, and retail man. constructed last fall, is now coming to the front. when fresh goods and other de hcacies are mentioned.
 The building is constructed with glass sides, the lower part of the four walls being wood, and the rest glass. It is approximately 75 feet long and about 25 feet wide.
 Rows are already planted and many of the green goods are al ready cropping forth. Lettuce, green onions, celery, cauliflower and many kinds of flowers will soon be ready for the public of Nome.
 It is MT. Polet's intention to provide fresh lettuce all summer. especially between boats, by plant ing one section of the hot house at time, thus providing alternat- ely lettuce, ready for the public, having it always growing some ready to be sold at all times.

Davis refused requests of numerous

but finally consented after an urgent
entreaty from Col Lubbock. This let

OF GIANT AKRON
DlrIgibIe Also Carries Six
Tons of Oil, Fifty Tons
of Ballast Water.
BY ERNIE PYLE
Scripps- Howard Aviation Editor

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24.-In this
final article on the U. S. D. Akron.
we shall answer some OF the ques-
tons asked since the big airship
left its dock in Akron a few weeks
ago, and began its flights which
have thrilled millions in the east
and middle west. Here are the an
SWers:
The Akron is 1876 feet long. If
1t were set upon end, it would stick
up a half a city block above the
top Of the Washington monument.
If you were to make three and a
half round trips along the catwalk
running along the top, you would
have walked a mile.
About IS per cent of the diri-
gible is filled with gas bags. The
rest is devoted to living quarters,
airplane hangar, corridors, ma
chinery, and Orders.
The Akron carries 10000 gallons
of gasoline for the motors. 1t is
held in 10 tanks, and a third of
these can be dropped instantly
through the airship's hull in case
of emergency.
The ship also carries six tons of
lubricating oil, and fifty tons of
water ballast.
There are big panels running up
the outside of the ship just above
the motors. There are five on each
side. They are the condensers.
They condense water from the
motor exhaust. theoretically, they
can make 1876 pounds of water for
every 100 pounds of gasoline burned.
