Is perfectly At and well.
On the second day of our march
back from the station we were greatly
surprised when suddenly an airplane
few over us. 1t dropped some dog
food and man food down to us. IN
fortunately, we had to leave the food
on the ice cap after we had taken out
the luxuries, since we already had on
our sleds more man food than we re-
quired and we were also bringing back
448 pounds of dog food for use on
future Journeys.
This airplane also dropped some let
tiers and we learned for the first time
an enormous stir had been caused in
England by the whole matter and that
"airplanes and ice-breakers" were on
their way from Europe.
We were somewhat myStif1ed by this,
as everything had gone more or less
according to plan. While preparing
for the expedition in England year
ago, Courtauld and had both decided
that 1t would sometimes be necessary
to have one man alone at the ice cap
station, owing to the difhculty Of car
rying SUFFICIENT food for two. Neither
of us minded the idea of being alone.
Also we had made up our minds that
for one man who had Arctic experience
there would not be any danger.

Last December, owing to bad weather
and consequent difficulty in making up

been carried forward mainly by the United

been carried forward mainly by the United
States army.
Although the army is chiefly interested in
map-making and intelligence photography, each
of which requires different technique, 1t has
many times sent it's camera men and planes to
cooperate with other government agencies.
The army has indirectly aided commercial
aerial photography by developing the best in
technique and in precision of the instruments.
In addition to military work, aerial surveys are
used for large variety Of operations. Few
puhlic utility companies would consider putting
dawn a new power line without first having an
aerial survey made. Aerial photography Is
also in demand for forestry services, geological
surveys, hnrbor developments, highway and
traffic surveys, and all manner of city uses, from
planning and coming to tax equalization.
The cameras and equipment used for civil
aerial surveying and for the production of
aerial photographs as Illustrations have been
improved but little during the last ten years,
because the ordinary air camera operated at
relatively low attitudes, meets all usual require
ments at small cost. This is not the case with
military photography and so 1t Is in this branch
that the latest developments are found
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1931-08-13

Perhaps the most interesting development lies
in the use of long-range or highaltitude cam
eras, the same technique being used also for
lower altitude work through fog In high alti
tude work the camera must have long focal
length (the distance from the modal point
where the light rays cross between the tive
lenses-to the surface of the plate or fm).
With short focal length it would be possible
for the camera to take the whole world" but
the detail would be too small A camera with
a long focal length, on the other hand while
it will not take more than about thirty-three
square miles from an altitude of approximately
$4,000 feet, gives such clearness Of detail that
the negatives may be readily enlarged to ten
diameters.
If the camera is tilted an oblique photograph
is taken-that is, photograph which is
progressively distorted as the objects taken are
distant from the lens. Tremendous distances
have been covered in this way and objects have
been taken which were not visible to the naked
eye because alOft there Is almost always even
on clear day, a certain amount of ground haze
Several refinements are necessary, however,
before these photographs may be taken The
camera must be fitted with a special film sensi.
tive only to infra-red rays below the visible
spectrum-that is the long wave lengths which
20 through fog easily This condition is met by
taking ordinary gelatine film and immersing it
in solution of kryptocyanine.
The next requisite is a special type of filter,
so dense as to have the opaqueness Of rubber
All lenses have to a greater or less extent the
property of prism; that is, they break up the
white light into spectra. It is necessary under
given conditions to use filter to eliminate the
active colors( such as violets. blues and greens)
and restore the light to white. By increasing
the opaqueness of the filter more of the visible
spectrum is eliminated and it is possible to
eliminate it altogether This is what has been
done in the cast of the long-range camera.
Through its filter only the infra-red rays are
admitted, and as ground haze or smoke is no
obstacle to them, objects are recorded on the
film which are invisible to the naked eye In
this way Captain Stevens was able to photo.
graph Mount Rainier from the record distance
of 27O miles, the peak jutting up above the
horizon, though it was miles beyond it.
In the taking of photographs for map-makng
a special technique has had to be developed,
equally applicable to military and commercial
purposes 1t is not enough to sight the camera
and trip it; all sorts of things have to be de.
termned before the photograph can be taken
Because only the center Of each photograph can
be considered anything like OFFICIALLY perfect, a
large number of overlapping exposures have to
be made.

BY BEN STERN

XXTATCH Frank Daley is the
w keynote Of present Demo-
cratic activity.
The 1928 Democratic nominee for
Governor has not indicated whether
he will enter the convention con-
test next June against Paul v. Nc
Mutt, Indiana university law school
dean.
Daley, however, told the writer
that he expected to reach a deci-
sion and make an announcement
within the next two or three weeks.
Denying that he has sent scouts
into the state to learn sentiment
toward a second try on his part, the
indianapolis safety board member
said that, In his opinion, the gov
ernorship is not "in the bag" by any
means.
Daily expects the thousands who
rallied to his support in 1928 to be
on hand if he makes another bid,
but he forgets that there seems to
be a general disposition to criticise
him for nonactiyity in the 1880
campaign.
1t was then that he could have
shown his appreciation OF the honor
conferred upon him three years
ago by taking to the stump and
putting up a real battle, but in
stead Daley did the Achilles sulk-
ing act, and permitted McNutt to
do the partisan Spellbinding.
Another kickback, he will find,
is the disposition Of the majority
of voters in Indianapolis to blame
him for every error in Judgment or
lack of discretion exhibited by the
board of public safety.
To thousands, Dailey's is the
only name of the membership with
which they are acquainted, and so
when a car is tcwed in, Daley is
criticised for permitting enforce
ment of the city ordinance. And
then, of course, gamblers and
chiselers who are not being given
the immunity they believe was
promised them also are out with
the Ratchet.
Daiiey's explanation Of his nom
activity in 1880 is that the statutes
forbid political activity on the part
of a police official, and that when
he sought to resign to do his bit,
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan would
not permit this step.
Ofoc urose, he is depending a
great deal upon the siz of his lead
over the rest of the ticket in the
1923 campaign, when Hoover led
| Smith by $3.50 votes, and Daley
