Dangerous Plans!

Recovered ocean,"
On your club map you will notice
there is an enormous COB of undis-
covered land indicated by a broken
line from the 117th to the 152nd
meridians. Well, Admiral Byrd's
three flights along the 117th, 150th
and 152nd meridians tell why it will
never be discovered. It isn't there!
By the time you read this, the
Admiral, with two or three com
%panions, may have made one of
the most dangerous flights in his
tory. He told me about this several
months ago, as a secret. This trip
will be to Little America. There
they may settle down to wait until
the Rupert or the Bear, or both,
a crush their way in. Or it is
now possible that he may fly back
to the Rupert. At Little America
they will study the terrifying ice
ridges which DR.. Lincoln Ellsworth
has reported to us as a possible OBJ
stacle to getting u supplies from
the ships to the base and perhaps
do some exploring in the Condor
or the big Ford trimotored plane,
LEFT there in 1880, which they tell
us is all safe and snug-as yeti
with its big supply of cached gas
oline.
If they land anywhere except at
Little America, with its three wood
en houses and it's two 70-foot radio
masts which Ellsworth says are
still standing, the Second Byrd Ant
arctic Expedition may spend it's en-
tire time searching for Admiral
Byrd and his two or three fearless
companions. Wouldn't that be some
thin? They're taking three months
supplies of food, in case
: Commander George Neville tells
me he hopes to make an exploration
trip of 500 miles Or more with the
three tractors we've brought. More

Develop Pullets'
Body Before The
Laying Begins

The proper feeding of chickens
during the period of early develop
ments is of vital importance in
determining their future laying
capacities, so tests at the Branch
Station farms near Willard and
Swannanoa during the past five
years have proved.
Zone of the most critical periods
in a birds life is that between the
time it goes off the starting mash
and the time it's placed on a laying
mash diet. The feeding should be
such as to bring the birds to bodily
maturity at approximately the same
time they start laying, and not be-

egg production and very little, if
any, goes to skeleton growth.
Hence, a bird that starts laying be-
fore it has reached full growth is
liable to remain undeveloped and
will seldom have the stamina need
ed by heavy producing hens
Dearstyne makes the further
observation that too great an
amount of protein in the food be-
fore the laying period is apt to start
the pullets laying too soon An ex7

NORTH WILKESBORO. Feb.
15.-Four Pennsylvania county
men, seeking to escape prison SEN
fences of two years each for con-
victions of violating the state
banking laws, last night were
granted a writ of habeas corpus
by Judge T. B. Finley. presiding
here.
The four men, Thomas H. Ship

here from Brevard in company
with Sheriff Tom Wood, of Tran
sylvania to whom they surren-
dered at the end of a reprieve

fore Judge Finley.
Under Judge Finley's order the
four men were granted bond in
the amount of $4,000 each, and
a hearing was set for February ~

In their petition the defendants
alleged that they had been tried
by an improperly constituted
court. and also took the position
that they had given $780, 900 to
Pennsylvania county, and that this
was the equivalent of paying a
fine.
In ordering the four defend

the supreme court had declared
that they should be fined or I'M,
prisoned but that both fine and
imprisonment should not be I'M

The plane, a Stearman biplane'
had nine rockets installed in eacf
side of it's lower wing. The rock
cts were discharged on connec'

Nelson, a daring acrobat, was
forced to fly in a series OF INSIDE
loops, climbing steadily, while the
rockets were being discharged,
and then descend in a series OF
wing-overs, to guard the plane
body from the flames.
His exhibition was described as
one of the most hazardous ever
attempted. For several minutes
after the rockets would be dis
charged. he would be forced to
flv "blind," as he was blinded by
the glare of the rockets.
The crash came last night a
few minutes after he had taken
off. He had completed one loop,
directly over the airport, and was
starting into another, when the
plane side-slipped and crashed
from a distance of about 10y
feet. The rockets were still
squirting fire when he struck the
ground. The plane caught fire
and was consumed, with Nelson's
body trapped in the wreckage.

The government massed Loyalist
forces early today for smashing
attack before dawn on Socialist
strongholds in Vienna in an of.
fensive designed to overwhelm the
rebel army and rid the nation Of
socialism as a militant force.
The government high command
concentrated picked troops and
Heimwehr units preparatory to
storming the Reichbridge over the
Danube. The objective on this
salient is a large municipal build
ing five stories high.
The concentration was carried
out quietly while other units, in
GLIDING nondescript volunteers in
civilian clothes, kept up run
ming machine gun and rifle fire on
the city's outskirts, diverting the
enemy's attention.
Lieut. Col. Engelburt Mausch
was designated to command the
attack. He led 40 men in one Of
the bloodiest surprise attacks on
a Socialist barricade earlier last
night and is one of the govern
ment's most daring soldiers.
The jaded government troopers
awaited the "zero hour" with
little interest. The men, wearied
by incessant fighting and on duty
since last Monday. were prepared
desperately to make an end of the
revolt or die in the attempt.
Colonel Mausch took the United

Mans Land" during the night, to-
gether with U. S. Consul-General
Ernest L. Harris. of Iowa, in
specting his forces and their
equipment.
The colonel admitted the apart

one of the hardest Socialist
strongholds in Vienna to capture,
and expected a hard battle. We
had to march through two lines OF
machine gun emplacements to en-
